Touch Me Like You Do by xLoveMx (1,513 words, Teen) Pairing: Dorian Storm/Laudna (MacabreMelody) Warnings: Brief implication of sexual assault

While on watch, Laudna thinks about touch and about Dorian and even gets to indulge in those thoughts a little.

Reccer Says: It’s soft and it’s sweet and “you know you’re important right?” has my heart

oh, person, person by pigflight (1,945 words, Teen) Pairing: Fearne Calloway/Laudna (WitherBloom) Warnings: Form of Dread Typical Body Horror

Fearne and Laudna go out into the woods to sing with the flowers.

Reccer Says: I honestly don’t really know how to describe this one. It’s fascinating and weird and strange in a way that suits Fearne and Laudna very well. It’s more than a little haunting. It feels like there’s so much going on when it’s quite simple, really. And I love it for that.

standing offer by spillentireuniverses (5,538 words, Mature) Pairing: Yu Suffiad/Laudna/Imogen Temult Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

30 times Yu made an offer (sort of) and 1 time they took one.

Reccer Says: It’s a delicious exploration of Yu and their relationships with Laudna and Imogen, a great depiction of an evil character growing to genuinely care for people without losing that evil edge, and also a great use and expansion of the 5+1 format!

waltzing matilda by the_jennster (4,247 words, Teen) Pairing: Ashton Greymoore/Laudna (Laudmoore) Warnings: None

During the party split, Ashton wakes up to find Laudna crying instead of sleeping.

Reccer Says: I enjoyed it!

Of Pet Rats And Chicken Nuggets by xLoveMx (1,790 words, Teen) Pairing: Dorian Storm/Laudna (MacabreMelody) Warnings: None

Admittedly, despite the talk about a pet rat, Dorian doesn’t actually expect Laudna to come back carrying one in her hands, and it takes him a moment to realize that yes, this is in a fact a living rat and not just a plushie.

Reccer Says: It’s very sweet and cute!

the branches bend / to the growing sea by pigflight (2,865 words, Teen) Pairing: Yu Suffiad/Laudna Warnings: Reference to Gore, Cannibalism, Body Horror

Yu takes Laudna on a date in the Feywild.

Reccer Says: It’s eerie, it’s atmospheric, both Yu and Laudna are sharp as barbed wire, and all of that together makes for a fascinating, captivating read. Also excellent use of 2nd person!
