Day 2 - Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create

With Thanks to Santayana by [archiveofourown.org profile] fahye - This is THE Jurassic World aftermath story, imho. Canon.  It was a Yuletide 2015 story that wiped the field clean.  It's Claire/Owen in a sweet, aching sort of way.  Claire having coffee with Lex.  A lot of tech-speak that rights wrongs and sets the story firmly in the original Crichton-verse.  I re-read this every so often and it always feels like the first time.

Oft Falling by [archiveofourown.org profile] kylohen and [archiveofourown.org profile] thedevilchicken - Obi-Wan POV. Obi-Wan/Padme.  My favorite non-canon ship in all its doomed and beautifully painful glory.  It's also really hot.  Even if you don't think you ship Obi-Wan and Padme, it's worth a read.

words for empty and words for full by [archiveofourown.org profile] tree - The only other time a fanfiction story turned me on to the original canon, instead of the reverse, was with an old Harry Potter story.  Tree's Walt and Vic are so pitch-perfect they set the standard - no other Walt or Vic could measure up, they are so perfectly themselves.  This story, with a fun alphabet conceit that almost melts away completely to leave the story perfectly exposed, is one of my favorite reads of the last two years.
