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.

Posten - When Harry Met Santa

(Reccommended by lailah_tov!)

Media type: Advertisement

Approximate length: 0-10 minutes

In this heartwarming short video celebrating 50 years of decriminalized homosexuality in Norway, an older man gets a few stolen minutes with Santa every Christmas, and they slowly fall in love. But Santa has to hurry away to deliver other presents, leaving Harry sad and lonely for the rest of the year. Can a Christmas miracle happen? Maybe, thanks to some unexpected helpers: the postal service! Holiday glitter, supportive family, pining, friends to lovers, an extremely romantic gay kiss, and appreciation for essential municipal services, all in just three minutes.

We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else - Del Water Gap

(Reccommended by lazyfish!)

Media type: Music (Song)

Approximate length: 0-10 minutes

We Will Never Be Like Everybody Else is a song that, depending on your interpretation, is either a celebration of how each relationship is unique and meaningful or a lamentation of how the subjects of the song will never be able to achieve the traditional milestones of a relationship.
