Triple Frontier Comment Fest - Week 1
What I've read* so far!
* Not actually limited to just fanfiction/reading!
I'll update this post if I comment anywhere else throughout the day!
01 Sep.
三人成众 - Rated E - Pope/Ironhead/Catfish
Precondition - Rated M - Ironhead/Benny
Fun fact, I was reading these two fics on my phone and both are in (iirc) Chinese; my phone wasn't auto translating for some reason though so I ended up copy-pasting them into my translate app lmao. The movie was first released overseas, I believe in China first so a lot of the first fics ever posted to Ao3 are, understandably, in Chinese!

Dinner and Dessert - Rated M - Ironhead/Pope
Bogotá - Rated M - Ironhead/Pope
Beyond These Borders - Rated T+ - Ironhead/Pope
"Beyond These Borders" is an incredible Pacific Rim AU for TF and it blows my mind each and every time. Seriously, I can't recommend this fic enough.

Soulmates - Rated T+ - Redfly/Ironhead
Redfly Gifset
Such a Good Omega - Rated E - Ironhead/Pope
The day of very specifically loving on other community members works! (Even if that wasn't the intention lol) @misskrose dropped "Soulmates" that day, actually, as a giftfic to me and I had no idea it was coming. BUT REDIRON MY BELOVED!!!! It makes me so happy to see more folks incorporating Redfly into their works, but also without such malice; let alone of me slowly convincing everyone of rediron supremacy bwehehe. "Such a Good Omega" is also by Miss K and just so so good. They really are feeding this fandom just good classic au's and tropes fr. God i am always so blown away by how pretty @dirbenaffleck / @batfleckgifs gifsets are!!! And of course, so many of Redfly 😍 They truly just makes me so happy every time hehe

We Were Warriors - Rated E - Ironhead/Pope
We Can Do Something Good With It series [4 works total] (which includes We Were Warriors) - Mixed Ratings - Ironhead/Pope
Four Times Redfly Almost Kisses Benny + The Time He Dose - Rated T+ - Redfly/Benny
So I kinda re-read the entire "We Can Do Something Good With It" series, by @copperdead here on tumblr. It's primarily the 10-chapter fic, "We Were Warriors" with other one-shot pieces along with it, taking place post-WWW. I seriously cannot recommend this series enough. While this is an event focused on appreciating less loved fanworks; it's not just those! And WWW is one of the most-commented and kudo'd fic in the fandom for a reason; it's that fucking good. I hadn't read it in ages and goodness it was a gut punch of goodness just like the first time. I marked WWW separately just because I left multiple comments. Miss K once more feeding me delicious Redfly ships with their Redfly/Benny piece, which was also a part of our first event! So so yummy. There is just something about Redfly pairing up with the Millers that I adore, honestly.

Redfly Gifset
The Tom "Redfly" Davis Defense Club
Another two posts by the awesome community member @dirbenaffleck / @batfleckgifs The first being an amazing gifset of Redfly, progressing through the movie. The other, a more silly post but imho 100% correct. I am just very passionate about these men loving and supporting each other, and that includes Redfly!!!
