I've kept forgetting to post here, and I don't know how much use this is so close to the end of the sign-ups and who will see it, but it might be useful when people are looking for things to treat for, and simply, I should think it's interesting to many of the members of this community!

The fandom: This is How You Lose the Time War, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It's a novella, come out in July 2019, about two time agents from rival agencies and competing futures who begin a correspondence via letters delivered in the most unlikely methods across different time strands. From curiosity follows connection and understanding, from that a romance across spaces and times. And yes, just to clarify, they're both women. And very awesome, competent, complex, kick-ass women at that. The book is beautiful, poetic, deep, emotional, witty, funny and more. Also, endless varieties of colour-related pet names that the characters, Red and Blue, find to call each other. And did I say beautiful? Because it's just gorgeous. And ultimately hopeful, and just... the most amazing thing I've read this year. I've nominated Red/Blue, the main pairing from the book and almost the only characters to directly feature in it, since it's mainly written in the form of correspondence. I intend to request it, and I see from the sign-up summary that there are a couple of other requests already.

Also, it's a novella, so it doesn't take too long to read, even if you don't know it yet!

Here is some more (non-spoilery) review-squee in my Dreamwidth

Since it's a book, I can't directly link to it, but you can check if your library or your friend has it, or buy it from somewhere. The e-book can be bought e.g. here at ebooks.com.

I won't be signing up this year, but I want to thank you for promoting this canon. This novella seems to be right up my alley. I'll make sure to read it, and if I like it, I'll add it to my requests next year.

You're welcome, I'm really happy if I can make new people discover it who might enjoy it! ♥
