2030854 I vote Beats and Turnips by Random_User.

I vote for Once in a llifetime, me faffing about is below explaining why I picked it.

I was torn and to some extent I still am.

On the one hand Once in a lifetime was adorable. I really liked the ship as it felt very natural and the story flowed beautifully. On the other it felt incredibly short and almost more like a first chapter rather than a standalone. It happens

Beats and Turnips was also stunning. I loved the ship, it was adorable and funny as all get out. I loved the ocs Salt Shaker and Hard Times, they really made the fic for me. On the other hand to suddenly go "I love you" after not seeing each other for years and only knowing each other for a week felt way too fast. You can't know someone in that short a time, say, you want to fall for them sure but saying it's love makes it sound like two lovesick teenagers.

In the end I think I gotta go with Once in a lifetime. It was short and sweet and to fault the author for making it so short when they were writing on a deadline feels kind of unfair.

I still applaud both authors for amazing works and thank you to TwilightAmory for running this while our glorious leader is indisposed.
