CATEGORY: Best One Shot

Three-way tie between:

taking it slow (that’s how it goes) by Inkrivers Five times Five introduced Mr. Pennycrumb and the one time he didn’t have to. spitting distance by sauntering_down “What seems to be the problem, officer? It’s just me, my knife-toting brother, some prescription pills that don’t belong to us, and this bleeding, unconscious child.” An deinen glühend heißen Wangen verbrenne ich meine Finger by Brain_Brainson “Thank you, Luther.” She’s smiling at him, a real smile and her hand is still on his arm and Luther feels like he may burn up any second.

You'll be nominating/voting for completed fics published on AO3

We'll start with the “Season 1″ timeline: all eligible fanfics must have been published/completed by 30th July, 2020 (ie the day before Season 2 hit Netflix)

There will be 20 categories to nominate/vote for

Minors friendly: all stories rated Explicit/Mature have their own NSFW category

All nominating/voting will happen via anonymous surveys

If this sounds like a fun idea to you please let others know by liking and/or reblogging.
