Fandom Snowflake Challenge (Day 9)

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.

Day 3
In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.
About Today by Nadiow613 [VID, Person of Interest, Reese&/Finch, spoilers all the way to 5x13, major character death]
I simply HAVE to rec this vid. The National is one of my favourite bands. The lyrics suit this pairing/friendship perfectly and the vidder has nailed every line. They include all of my favourite moments along with some visual parallels I'd not noticed before. And if you're not tearing up by the end, you're a stronger person than me.

one way or another by Nialies [VID, Person of Interest, Root/Shaw, spoilers for major character deaths]
This is such a haunting video. It gets me right in the gut every time. Root's determination to find Shaw in Season 4 is perfectly summed up, as is her place in the universe regarding the Machine. And then from 02:30 for about 20 seconds, it evolves into this long section of amazing audio work and snappy timing (and Shaw being a total badass). The beat rocks back and forth and it's just indescribably good.
nobody else will by TheHiddenMemory [VID, Person of Interest, John Reese, Joss Carter, the Numbers]
TheHiddenMemory has done a LOT of great vidding work, it's difficult to pick just one of theirs, but this...not only is it a great Reese character study, but it showcases some of my favourite numbers and explains the 'comic book hero' aspect of the show in a really moving, down-to-earth way.
Call Me Maybe by Talitha78 [VID, Person of Interest, Reese/Finch, Season 1 & 2 only]
Everyone clicks on this expecting it to be total crack - but it's a cover of the song you're not expecting, and it works SO WELL. The telephone motif is really well developed and I adore the medley of Reese fight scenes in the instrumental section. And it's exactly the kind of wink-wink-cheeky-smile slash vid that I need to mend my heart after watching a lot of angsty ones.

Day 03
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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Looking At The Ground
Person of Interest | Reese/Finch | gifset
Many of my favourite things I've done this past year have been gifsets. This one took about 8 hours to complete, and I was pretty much smitten with it from start to finish. Their faaaaces. It kills me. All the pining.
Soulmates
Life on Mars | Sam/Gene | gifset
This poem appeared on tumblr and I just had to apply it to synchronized policing husbands. I'm still amazed by how many notes it got! My OTP lives on. I oversaturated the colours a little bit, but it doesn't detract from the overall message.
There's A Colour In Your Hands
Person of Interest | Harold/Grace/John | G-rated fic | 1336 words
Why do I love OT3s so much? I remember being giddy for at least a day after writing this one. Completely domestic fluff, with a tiny bit of angst sprinkled on top, because Reese is a giant sad puppy.

Day 1
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.
Dust Yourself For Fingerprints And Grin
Life on Mars (UK) | Sam/Gene/Annie | NC-17/Brown Cortina/Explicit | 3676 words
Because I reread this last night just on a whim and quite objectively thought...this is pretty good. The pacing is good, the characterization is good, try as I might I couldn't find a sentence that I would change if I wrote it again. I like how Annie is in control, how she divides her attention between them, their sense of teamwork. I love the shift of atmosphere from winter cold to cosy warmth.
Harold's boyfriends appreciating his genius
Person of Interest (CBS) | Harold/Nathan and Reese/Finch | Not rated (SFW)
I finally learnt how to gif in 2014 and this is my favourite thing that I posted. Finch has shot right to the top end of my all-time favourite characters list, and people praising him just makes me happy. His humble reactions to said praise reaffirm how flipping gorgeous he is.
Slow Dance
Life on Mars (UK) | Sam/Gene | G/White Cortina
Not from 2014, unlike the first two. Because I'm still not someone who can do fanart (however much I wish I could), but I'm forever proud of how this manip turned out.
