a smattering of fic recs

Title: Empty Outline
Author: bobafret
Fandom: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Summary: 'Alpha-71 just wants Jango Fett to notice him. Even if it's for the wrong reasons.'
Rec: A ruthless glimpse into the lives and emotional turmoils of some of the Alpha clones in their youth. I particularly love their fragmented connection with Mandalorian culture, not to mention Jango himself.
Title: Balaenoptera levante
Author: bioluminesce
Fandom: Dishonored 2: DOTO
Summary: 'The creature sailors prayed to, the red at night and red in the morning, sat in front of her looking faintly seasick.'
Rec: Probably the most satisfying epilogue to DOTO I could hope for. Atmospheric enough to smell the salt.
Title: Raindrops on Roses
Author: Ghostinthehouse
Fandom: Finisterre: The Nighthorses
Summary: 'Scenes from Jennie's first year as a rider.'
Rec: A sweet trio of moments with lots of lovely little worldbuilding details.
Title: A Paper Wall
Author: Amicitia Revenant
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
Summary: 'Following Karai's destruction of the second Lair, and Leo's return from Japan, the Turtles must find a way to rebuild their home and their family.'
Rec: The unusual narrative format took me a chapter or two to get used to, but i ended up finding it very effective. Great emotional catharsis for characters and readers alike.
