Challenge #13 - In your own space, rec three fanworks that you did not create.

The first one is my playlistexchange gift I just got today because I was going to rec it in a new post anyway when I found out what the newest Snowflake challenge was. :D

And then two more! I'm definitely not choosing my favorites out of all my gifts, it would be impossible - all of them are not only amazing in their own right but also perfectly tailored to my personal likes and dislikes. So I didn't even attempt to do that, and my criteria for choosing the other two recs were: (a) it's the first fic that popped into my head, (b) it's not something I've recced anywhere recently (and preferably ever, though I'm not 100% sure about that), (c) all three recs are in different fandoms. And this is what I got, but it doesn't mean I love my other gifts any less. ♡♡♡

Not reccing these recently qualifies as good criteria for reccing at Snowflake! "not sure what's real" sounds intriguing.

Thank you! :D Yesss, it's kind of time travel but also kind of just a dream. Dream logic is my faaaavorite thing. ♡♡♡
