Genre: Post-canon. Kid!fic. Fluff. Established Relationship.

Why This Must Be Read: This fic left me beaming. It’s strong on how both Mako and Raleigh have normal, understandable fears about becoming parents, while their lives are and have been so extraordinary.

Rating/Warning(s): Teen and up. None.
Genre: Post-canon. Romance. Curtain fic.
Word Count/WIP?: 3,161 words. No.
Why This Must Be Read: While being very much a domestic fic, as it’s about Mako and Raleigh finding a home, it gets the balance right between humour, rating-appropriate steaminess and grief.

Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Genre: AU, Kid!fic, Fluff,
Word Count/WIP?: 2,626 words. No.
Why This Must Be Read: I liked the way the details of the AU are constructed - how they map on to canon in this world, how they are revealed. You might think 'kindergarten teacher AU = tooth-rotting fluff' but the sweetness is balanced by grief, too. Having Raleigh observe so much about Mako through her mothering was fascinating.
