In your own space, rec three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

These could be your all-time favorites, fanworks that fit a certain theme, or the last three fanworks you read/viewed/listened to and loved. If you’re looking for a way to make today’s challenge more *coff* interesting, how about rec’ing in small fandoms or rare pairs? A compilation of fanworks that make a great introduction to a fandom?
For the purposes of this challenge, a fanwork is defined as any creative endeavor for a fandom – fic, podfic, art, crafts, vids, meta... If you love it and someone else created it, please share it!

Don’t feel limited (or obligated) to make three recs. One or two is good, and so is a dozen. Just share some fandom love!

I devour rare pairs and small fandoms with fairy sprinkles! Here we go, noting the above italicized official condonement of going overboard. All works are complete unless noted.

Penguins of Madagascar

Training Gone Wrong is a webcomic by supdudes95 on deviantArt depicting stark black and white palettes, except for splotches of color here and there, now and again. NOTE: The link goes to the webcomic as it was completed, which means you must head to the bottom of the page to catch Panel One, and then go on from there. If you start at the top, you'll see the end panel, and I'd not want that. I enjoy this artist because of the fluidity of the poses, the "shine" of a cartoon body rendered superbly, and the expressions of two warrior dudes as they face off in deadly non-earnest.

Skipper Gets Some F****** Therapy by tadstrangerthings, which is a trilogy of fics based on tumblr's drawbauchery's human au here. Skipper forces himself to endure Hans' psychoanalysis of his character. This goes as well as you'd think. General, with warning for Language.

DC

The Pleasures of Civic Duty by

gloss This story portrays Golden Age Batman and Robin in all their earnest glory as Robin goes undercover at a gay bar. Sample sentence: "Robin's very musical," Batman noted. Robin looked up at his best pal and grinned. Explicit.

One Good Deed Dying Tongueless by Prochytes. John Constantine crosses over with Hermione Granger, er, no, that doesn't sound quite right. Author's summary: "An unseen war. A teenage fugitive. An ageing mystic with a hangover. John Constantine doesn't know what's going on. It's important that he doesn't find out." Teen.

King Shark Is A Shark by TheDeepGreen. The author fixes the fact that the shark on DC's tv shows is not Nanaue Sha'ark, so this fic repairs the error; guest starring Sarah Lance. Teen.

Marvel

Thin Line by heeroluva. Thor and Loki battle what they consider their damaged, perverse relationship. WIP; at 15862 words, a decent wordcount to recommend. Explicit.

Lying in the Bed We Made by CourtneyCourtney, in which all-too-human Agent Carter and Jarvis fall prey to Howard Stark's talent in chemistry. Explicit.

Acquiring a Frame of Reference by

jedibuttercup, who wrote this delightful tale for me of Thor and Darcy attending a fan convention, and what they do when they get there. General audiences.

Star Wars

Knights Out by Temple_Mistress, whose crack!fic portraying not-so-staid Jedi as they go clubbing I reread every now and again. Prequel era, multiple characters such as Quinlan Vos, Siri Tachi and others letting their robes fly open to, erm, let in some fresh air. 68349 words, complete in 7 chapters except for the epilogue in ch. 8 which we await patiently. Explicit.

A Thousand Dreams or More, But Only One Reality by
Queen of the Castle (queen_of_the_castle_77) with the intriguing pairing of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ferus Olin from the YA series Jedi Quest, Last of the Jedi, and Rebel Force. Ferus later drew the assignment of guarding young Leia on Alderaan. It is just as much fun as it sounds. Teen.

A Trip Down Mammary Lane by BrotherFromAnotherMother and ThePartyPrince, whose title alone brings out the LOLs. Set during the Clone Wars and based on the Filoni series episode, "Trespass." Anakin makes sure that Obi-Wan realizes how annoying a certain habit is. Mature.

And finally, the amazing vid called Midichlorian Rhapsody by mysticfig.
