first place

headinthebooks101: Earth to Ashes

Theme: Exodus

 

It was a very close call between the placement of the top three, but this one just won out.  Everything about it was fantastic, from execution of the theme to the dystopian setting to the character development.  A job very well done, and congratulations to the author!

second place

Miechan: Embrace the Thumbnail Moon

Theme: Exodus

The bromance between the two main characters was superbly handled and the story thrived on it.  Well-paced, well written and altogether captivating, this was a thoroughly deserving second place and only narrowly missed on first as the romance (while not the main relationship) played a bit too significant a part for a competition with a no-idol-pairing requirement.  On the other hand, this is an author to follow for any Daragon shippers and I feel thoroughly priviledged to have had the opportunity to read it.

third place

vigour: Ex Cathedra/From The Chair

Theme: Silent Love

This hit every spot I could have wanted for the Silent Love theme and has consequently been nominated for a theme winner as well.  One or two instances of loose plot/scene-setting could have been tightened up, but it would be hard to fault it on anything else and it was a very engaging read with palpable dynamics between the two leads.
