Day 9

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Alright, here are three PoI fics that I've written!

My favourite: You Just Know When You Know
This has more to do with the title of the fic than the story itself. It's a line from this song. I listened to Something Like Happiness on repeat for several months before I wrote the fic. It was a great comfort to me during a difficult summer, to listen to this and think of my OTP. It really really reminds me of Rinch. Starring lines include: You got somewhere to go when you go, which makes me think of the theme of home in the show, and how they basically keep saying that Harold is home for John. And If you love them, Go and tell them, Tell them over and over and over again, Heaven forbid opportunities missed might as well be a motto for their relationship, given past experiences with Grace and Jess. And the music video features a man in a suit with a briefcase following a bird flying through abandoned buildings and parks? So??? (Oh, yeah, and the fic itself is pretty cute. Kissing in the snow is a great romantic trope.)

No one ever saw: A Perfect Heart's Length Away
Well, people did see it. It got a good number of hits and kudos. But I'd like more comments on it. I'm proud of the way I drew parallels between Reese/Finch and Harold/Nathan, while wrapping up some loose threads from canon. It is kind of abstract and flows randomly through time, which I guess might confuse people, but I like it. It's like how everyone makes parallel gifsets on tumblr, but in written form.

Defines my creative choices: For Everyone to See
Fluff, check, Established Relationship, check, Domesticity, check. You see a lot of that in my pile of PoI works.
