Madness. Madness! MADNESS!

Welcome to the AU bracket of Preathfics Madness co-sponsored with @hardtchill​

If you haven’t been here before, the game is simple: all we need you to do is vote for your favorite fics in a series of head-to-head competitions. This bracket will have 5 rounds. The first round is the Round of 32 (you’ll vote on 16 pairs of fics). Those fics that get the most votes will advance the round of 16 and voting will happen again.

This round will end January 25 at 11:59pm in the last time zone on earth.

Methodology: To qualify, the fic must have had T+C as its primary romantic couple rather than as a backdrop to some other couple (e.g., KMewett) and must have been non-soccer AU—that is neither of them play soccer in a substantive way (e.g., professionally, currently for their school). I solicited nominations from you all. I used a random-number generator (i.e., the RAND function in excel) to create the pairings. Some nominations were removed because they played soccer.

Here are the bracket branches: 

Group A

the heartlines on your hand (crawling like sea over sand) vs. The thirteen days of Christmas

She Keeps Me Warm vs. Landslide

Lukewarm vs. Soon or never

The way she tells me I’m hers and she is mine vs. Perfect Record

Group B

Valley of Queens vs. All I want for Christmas (and my birthday and new year's) is you

Treats, Eats, Repeats vs. Craving You

Alert the Press, I’ve Fucked My Boss vs. in an instant

A Beacon of Light vs. The Drunk Santa Type

Group C

we'll take the world by storm (it isn't that hard) vs. Fire and Ice

Think of Anything vs. Powerless

fast cars vs. Camp Coldwood

we found love in a hopeless place vs. love is patient (but not always subtle)

Group D

Creature of the Night vs. The 6 Train

I Wheelie Like You vs. A Thousand and 1 Nights

forty-five steps to stumbling ass-backwards into love vs. Under the mistletoe

maybe this time vs. It's Funny How Things Never Change in This Old Town..
