For “A Tiki Wake”
For its bittersweet description of how several crew members cope with grief, by sharing fond memories of Major Minka Mazur. This post also has a special atmosphere, as it uses a foreign language (French) to perfection. (nominated by Spiral)

For Maj Porter Wallace, in the Camp Sunrise thread

I know a lot of people told me they have been enjoying reading the Camp Sunrise thread involving the stranded characters David and I have established on the Korinn island. What might be less understood is that Wallace is very much a legacy character whom David played decades ago over many years. This Marine was always worth a read but he used to be calcified and bitter and always angry. It was a very intense characterization. What David is doing now with this character is reintegrating this man, using his terrible hardship as an opportunity to actually heal the old wounds in his heart over the loss of his young wife and the losses during the Dominion War that had set him in his path of anger. Although I have the honor of writing the love interest who instigates the turnaround for Wallace, all of this development is completely due to the work that David is putting in and the vision he has to see Wallace’s inner journey come full circle. It’s an incredible payoff for the character and for the reader. Wallace has finally come home in his heart and everyone reading is happy to make the journey with him, as he can finally live and even potentially die, for all the right reasons.

For the beautifully brokenhearted moments Paul demonstrates in Lance’s internal journey throughout M2 as Lance faced feelings he didn’t know how to process, illustrating his frustration and desires concerning his personal life. Ex. “Homemaking” “The Pet Project” and several others.
