"It's the first time that Talia and Loki come across each other and the chemistry between them is already starting to show. They talk about little things really but the chemistry is there. [I nominate this thread] because it shows their personalities and their demons but also how they are better apt at leaving them behind when they speak." - Eranda

"The two almost smack into each other in the hallway, and they decide to go to a nearby muggle pastry shop (which Talia hates to admit is pretty amazing), where they get to know each other. My poor bean Talia doesn’t understand why she can’t stop staring at Loki and why everything he says and does makes her smile, but oh, she’s enjoying it. It’s their first meeting, and there’s instant chemistry that neither of them can explain. I love seeing Talia go from murderous to “Oh my god, he smiled at me!” They’ve both had such rough lives that seeing them be happy is so gratifying." - Cissa

"After a surprise reunion in the ministry, Phoenix and Miles decide to meet up outside of a work situation for once, after a conversation about 'good food' spiraled into almost a dare. After a fairly common faux legal battle over a pair of keychains in their possession, the two head to a fast food joint, where Edgeworth is forced to attempt to order a burger for the first time... I was torn between which of the two WrightWorth threads to nominate for this since I knew it would have to be one of them. I settled for their actual date because there's some really funny moments and it's more light-hearted without the added tension of them seeing each other again for the first time, so the whole thing resonates as more happy. I love this duo, their banter and chemistry is fantastic, and I'd love the chance to write them again if Data manages to get some free time. If you like this thread though, I'd definitely recommend you read I Guess That's Déjà Vu as well!" - Sigyn !

"After the events of All Eyes On Me, Takumi awakens in the hospital and the auror who saved him, and a general mentor figure in his life, Jameson Locke, comforts him. Takumi experiences a rollercoaster of emotions, that even turn into him wishing death on his assailant, but the biggest thing on his mind is the guilt he feels over surviving, and the shame over the mark he now has on his hand. If iHodor is my happy thread person, Greenie is my feels queen. Like iHodor, we go way back and it'd feel criminal not to nominate this thread. I read this thread and I feel the pain of both participants and especially for Takumi this was a bit moment of vulnerability for him that broke my heart everytime I replied. Me and Greenie have done many things like this (when we worked on our fics we often pseudo rp'd between our characters) but seeing both of our actual prose styles back to back like this made it an even bigger punch in the gut." - Claire

"The thread is set in an alternate universe where Katelyn quits from the Auror department after the raid in "All Eyes On Me," because the Aurors would not allow her to work on The Riddler investigation due to her past ties to him and Oswald Cobblepot. She had since decided to take matters into her own hands. This thread starts out with Kate getting a riddle from the one person she had yet to cut out of her life *cough* Takumi *cough*, and subsequently solving it to find one of The Riddler's old puzzle rooms, and The Riddler himself (live on a big screen). She now finds herself way over her head, playing The Riddler's games, because at some point they have to lead back to him. I was torn between this and "Hell Hath No Fury" (which is basically the same point of time but Kate's not losing it and Oz is involved). But I chose this thread because of the "what if" of it all. Like, I have not written stuff like this before. Kate is not a dark character. She's depressing sometimes and her canon story has one (1) dark arc, but she's typically pretty happy. It's a "what if Kate stopped caring," "what if she did this or that," "how does she play the game" and I'm loving how everything is unfolding. And Ed-sorry, The Riddler : P-is a Trip to write with in this point of his timeline too. He's reimagined himself as the magical super villain, and the tech /puzzles he's come up with to get there and remind people of just who he is is awesome. Sigyn ! does a freaking amazing job writing him. This thread also hold two milestones for Kate: her 100th post (!!!!), and the longest reply I have written to date. Like, that sucker is nearly 2,000 words long, because how Kate plays his game has already nearly gotten her killed once thus far, and walking the wire takes some words." - Graced

"About twenty years from now, Talia is the minister of europe and Ed is The Riddler. She lures him out by demoting him from Undesirable No. 1 to Undesirable No. 2, putting a random petty thief in his place. He breaks into her office, as she anticipated, and they banter and threaten each other and are just generally children fighting on the playground even though they have power. The insults are strong with this one. Talia and Ed have a strange and beautiful relationship. From the first time they met at the Ministry library and kicked the verbal crap out of each other, they’ve been so much fun. I love seeing Talia let loose and speak her mind about Ed, and I love watching Ed knock her down several pegs in return. It’s especially fun when the stakes are high—in “crown,” her wand is strapped to the underside of her desk, and she’s ready to fight." - Cissa
