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

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.)
