Gifts of the Valar 2024 - Masterpost
Hello!
First, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our event - we are so grateful, and so excited, to see all the new and wonderful things you created!
Second, the spirit of generosity, kindness, and positivity within our ship and our fandom as a whole that we have seen from this event is genuinely inspiring, and we hope that it will carry us well through the New Year and on to Season 3!
Now, here is the masterpost of all the wonderful gifts exchanged this year! We've included links to everything where it has been hosted (Ao3, Tumblr). We've broken it up into two main categories - canonverse and au - and organized them alphabetically, included the rating, and a brief summary/description (a line or two) about the gift itself.
Please read, enjoy, and share the love - if you find a new favorite, tell us that too!
