Thursday recs - EDMM & Just Married

Two exchanges released in July, and I loved my gifts for both of them!

For Eat Drink Make Merry:

Ice by [profile] edonohana (Torchwood, Owen/Tosh, 1200 wds)
Lovely and sweet canon divergence with Owen taking care of a hurt Tosh after the season two finale. Oh, my heart.

Down a Dark Well by [personal profile] scioscribe (Torchwood, team, 6600 wds)
An alien poison takes out the entire team except Owen; now he has to get them back. Wrenching and teamy and fantastic.

For Just Married:

To Have and To Hold by [archiveofourown.org profile] primeideal (Stranger Things, 1800 wds, Robin & Steve & ensemble)
Robin has to fake-marry Steve to get him out of the Upside Down, and everyone else is along for the ride. Sweet and funny and delightful with a perfect feeling of Hawkins weirdness.

I haven't had a chance to read much in either collection yet, but I've loved what I've read:

A Lifetime of Pomegranates by [personal profile] scioscribe (Torchwood, team, 6100 wds)
The team gets their hands on an alien device capable of feeding the dead. Thoroughly adorable teamfic with some incredibly appealing descriptions of made-up food that sounds so amazing I want to try it.

Handfasting by [archiveofourown.org profile] Leonor (A:TLA, Aang/Zuko/Katara, art)
Beautiful art, full of detail.

Steady as the Lake, Ever-Changing as the River by [archiveofourown.org profile] frozensea (Black Panther, Nakia/T'Challa, 3600 wds)
A Wakandan wedding, in which T'Challa is an adorable dork and Nakia is a workaholic who practically has to be dragged to her own wedding and they are both very much in love with each other. Funny and sweet and excellent.

The Very Best People by [personal profile] scioscribe (Stranger Things, Steve & Robin, 18K)
Steve and Robin undercover in evil suburbia. Amazing.
