Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fics/fanart/podfics/fanvids/fancrafts/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled

Cool BTS recs to welcome the new month. 😏

[glitteryv]

FANART

* Untitled Min Yoongi portrait by agustfthv - Beautiful fanart of Yoongi's side profile, flowers, and a fascinating brown and pink palette that adds a layer of wonder to the entire thing.


* - 3 - by meyk96 - Simple yet grin-inducing sketch of RM and some fish.


* Untitled Jungkook Fanart by ohjiminie - Neat piece featuring Jungkook in a cool skirt and showcasing (imaginary) tattoos.


* Untitled Yoongi/Jungkook by safirebluu - A PG-rated moment at some party featuring Yoongi and Jungkook getting to know each other… >:)


FICS

* The Fine Art of Ordering Off-Menu by celli (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi, 12.9k) - Due to ~reasons, longtime friends and coworkers Seokjin and Yoongi pretend to be getting married. The rest of their friends are on board with setting up a big wedding that's doomed to fail

But what if all the goings on lead to Seokjin starting to look at one of his closest friends in a new way???

A fic that brings the lulz via shenanigans, the tenderness via sweet moments, and some 'good times' via hot moments here and there.

As a general rule, I've not the spoons to go and investigate things outside the fandoms that I'm in, but I greatly appreciate that you always have a set of fanart to go and admire.

MDZS/Untamed fic recs again from me today:

Howling by MimiSpearmint (40k)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji is sent by the Institute to do two things: become the Yiling Patriarch's familiar, and report back his every movement. It does not go how any of them planned. (absolutely fascinating modern cultivation/modern-with-magic AU with great worldbuilding and interesting, Irish, setting. Note- this claims to be a Mortal Instruments fusion, which I know nothing about but still thoroughly enjoyed)

Hear a song this deeply by so_shhy (87k)
Summary Snippet: Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford. Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels… (this recently completed modern cultivation AU fic brilliantly weaves a story of LWJ, who is trying to recreate the Lan's lost musical cultivation techniques via carefully monitored research trials, and WWX, a Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department worker who seems to have more skills than he should.)

the spaces between by tellthemstories (series, 2 works, 12k total)
After's Summary: Lan Yuan does not smile for his first three years at Cloud Recesses.
Then's Summary: Hanguang-Jun is infinitely, utterly and heart-breakingly sad.
(a look at LWJ after WWX's death- After through LWJ's POV and Then's through LSZ's. Raw and sad but real.)

[glitteryv]

Classic SGA vid that I only just came across: Anything For You by bironic https://archiveofourown.org/works/1125461 Enjoyable quippy sort of vid of all aspects of life in Atlantis.

Recs from my page, variety of fandoms

[starwatcher]

Hi, folks. Most weeks I make "weekend recs" on my own page. I figured I could link to a few of the recent ones in case anyone is interested. I do a complete workup for each, including link, summary, and my impressions/reason for reccing, so post-links are easier than reproducing the whole thing here.


Old Guard, Harry Potter, and MCU x NCIS x The Sentinel


Old Guard (2), Sentinel x Quantum Leap, and Sentinel x Multiple Crossovers.


All series in this post -- Stargate Atlantis x Sentinel, Lucifer (2), The Sentinel (historic), and Stargate Atlantis x Stargate SG-1.


My main fandoms that I'll rec are Old Guard, NCIS, Sentinel, Stargate (SGA & SG-1), and Harry Potter, although a variety of others will creep in occasionally. If anyone wants to subscribe (because I may not remember to comment here all that often), feel free.

Panty & Stocking with Garterberlt

LMAO at that pansto fanart.

[scintilla10]

Aww, the Katara and Momo art is lovely!

[slippy]

That Panty & Stocking art looks so natural! It's an excellent style switch. The Whamon art is stunning, the Android 18 one brought back my crush, I'm saving the Nope art for after I finally watch it... thanks for making all these recs!

[yourlibrarian]

That art with Katara is an interesting take!

[glitteryv]

Wowza at the multitude of recs. Thank you for linking to them. :D

[doranwen]

A couple Leverage recs:

Comfort and Affection by schrijverr (3707 words)
An Eliot & Hardison cuddle fic. Can read totally platonic or hints of future OT3 depending on how you look at it.

(head of silver and gold) your feet crumbling clay by alinaandalion (1430 words)
An excellent fic, mostly Nate and Sophie, post-The White Rabbit Job from S5. (It's my least favorite season but I still have to say this fic is very well-written.)

[glitteryv]

Huzzah for Leverage recs. Thankies for linking to them. :D
