@foxnflames's Rise in the East is a story that pulls you in with a strong voice that's both snarky and extremely peaceful to read, and the world around the main character unfurls with a quiet sense of mystery highlighted by the way he learns about his surroundings right alongside us. It's one of the first I read on the site, but it still remains the most engaging. I'm very curious about where it's going to go.
(it's so hard to just pick one for this!)
