Festival of Very Short Canons: April 1-30

[aat_mod]

Welcome to the Festival of Very Short Canons! All of April I'll be posting two recs a day in the comment section of this post.

All recommended canons will take 45 minutes or less to consume—many of them much less! We have a mixture of music/music videos, short stories, fake articles, comics, and miscellaneous other things. (Music and music videos were so popular that we're going to have about one of those a day every day of April!)

Extra info:

• Have a longer canon you'd love to rec? Stop by the Canon Promo post!
• If you have a Dreamwidth account, you can subscribe to comments on this post to get email updates.
• The recommendation form asked reccers if they'd like to give any content warnings, but it was optional; recommended canons won't necessarily have comprehensive warnings.
• Please don't make top-level comments to this post, but you're welcome to discuss recc'd canons by replying to my comments! You can also join the AAT Event Discord.

A More Satisfying Vengeance - SassySnowperson

(Reccommended by Alicelikesgravity!)

Media type: Original Work

Approximate length: 30-45 minutes

Content Warnings One character in the series spends part of the fic convinced they are about to die. They never actively want to die, but they do have a cheerfully fatalistic approach to the whole thing.

When Sironn married the King of Kadar, he quickly grew to understand that the King had all the power, and Sironn had none at all. Which is why Sironn considers it nothing short of a miracle he outlived the abusive tyrant.

He'll take solace in that, as his own end is no-doubt coming quickly now that his husband has been declared a traitor and executed for his crimes. After all, there's only one thing to do with a deposed king's spouse, and that's kill him as quickly as possible.

One problem. The new king, Eshan, disagrees.

Tove Lo - No One Dies From Love

(Reccommended by shiftyjack!)

Media type: Music video

Approximate length: 0-10 minutes

An F/F Human/Android couple! There is bittersweet ending but also many shippy moments.
