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

Reccing le BTS (pretend to be shocked) 🤣

FANART

* You brighten my life by mix03 - What a delicate embroidery featuring RM, his beloved bicycle, and Koya.


* you are so loved, joonie by kyimchi - A sweet comic featuring the other six members making sure that RM gets his kisses.


* September boys by kisslatr_ - Soft fanart of RM and Jungkook from a 2020 vlive. Bwee!


* Untitled RM fanart by DoodlesLisa - Amazing watercolor based of a picture RM posted on his Insta last week.


FICS

* ...and then things got weird by The_Best_of_Bees (Mature, 8.3k, RM/Jimin) - Post-moving out of the Hannam Hill dorms, RM is finally able to enjoy wearing lingerie while at his apartment. A relaxed evening, however, gets interrupted by Jimin (who, canonically, lives in the same building--if not the same floor--as RM does in real life) who walks in to borrow something.

What might sound like a sexy premise ends up offering up a lot of soft emotions and introspection. I enjoyed reading abt RM and Jimin realizing that their friendship can expand into something else. It's sweet fic with a smidgen of naughtiness.

I found this gem and... devoured it like the best cheese in the world (I don't drink, so no wine).

Stray Kids Pod (Teen, at least, although the only one actually labeled is G, four (so far) fics, 165k words) - Seungmin is a marine biologist, investigating a sunken ship. And meets a merman. And then the rest of his pod. And... Decides maybe these are the best things to ever happen to him. Amazing world building, Believable villains, and cameos by ATEEZ (which was a lovely surprise).

Thank you for reccing it. :D

tumblr things (art and one vid) from me today:
Captain America - 1943-2023: Old Habits Die Hard - (2022) Bucky Barnes and Cigarettes (wonderful style to these)
Merlin - Merlin with a horse (sweet and gentle)
- Here’s a little Merthur doodle I did. (Merlin and Arthur from s5e1, so much more than just a little "doodle")
- A Merlin and Arthur Hug (so much emotion in this one)
- Two loves I have, of comfort and despair/ Which like two spirits do suggest me still (gorgeous and wistful Merlin)
- I love AU with an alternative first meeting and I love even more when Merlin is a powerful sorcerer/druid/God/whatever and Arthur fall in love at first sight. (perfect and delightful comic for this AU)
- Merlin, Redesigned (a gorgeous, redesigned take on Merlin and his powers)
Guardian - A kiss, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan (so tender)

Word of Honor (vid) - Where Is My Love? – WenZhou Reincarnation AU (incredibly well done combining of clips from WoH, The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion and Begin Again)

Excellent set of Merlin art recs. I had seen a few of them before but not the Bonk one -- awesome!

[vriddy]

The art recs for these 3 fandoms are all wonderful, omg 😍😍 Really enjoyed them, thanks for sharing!

[scintilla10]

Aw, this is a great variety of art! Thanks for sharing. :)

[glitteryv]

A neat bouquet of recs, how awesome! :D

[seerofrage]

Handful of art recs from twitter! Fandoms are Kingdom Hearts, Pokémon, Bungou Stray Dogs, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Mob Psycho 100~

KH
.Dancing Axel/Roxas/Xion by moong_nim; these are so cute and sweet, they all look so happy together. <3

Pokémon
.Team Rocket as Loid, Yor, & Anya from Spy x Family by kianamaiart; this is so perfect, haha, I love it! :D <3

BSD
.Fukuzawa/Ranpo by nekoy113; I love how this artist draws them, and I love how they're posed here, with Fukuzawa framing Ranpo. <3
.To the stray dogs, BEAST Dazai by MongzuBSD; this is so cool and so sad, aw man. ;v;

JJK
.Gojou/Fushiguro by 0BIT54; I love the style of this so much!! Gojou looks so cute here, haha, and I just love this little scene, Gojou and Fushiguro walking through the festival together while some girls whisper about them behind them. <333

MP100
.Teru and his past self by D_Hyang_seol; this is so cool, and I love how you can tell just how different he is from the interaction. :D

[vriddy]

Omgggg the team rocket one 😍😍

[seerofrage]

Isn't it great? :D

[glitteryv]

Aww, that KH fanart is v. sweet! Their smiles made me grin. Thanks for reccing all of these fanarts. :D

Old Guard fic

[kingstoken]

The Knit King
Word Count: 29,564 words
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: Winter is coming, and the kingdom is in danger. Yusuf, loyal Hand of the Queen Andromache, travels to entreat a God for assistance. But the price he must pay is unexpected: one full year spent in the Knit King’s small realm.
Reccer's Note: I might be a little bit biased here, because I created the art for this fic as part of the WIP Big Bang, but I do think this story deserves a rec in it's own right. The author does such a nice job creating the world for this story, it is fairy tale-esque, but also a little otherworldly. The relationship is also nicely built between Joe and Nicky, however it is slow burn, so know that going in.

Re: Old Guard fic

[glitteryv]

Thank you for reccing it. :)

[schneefink]

Legend of Zelda
Art - Looking forward to the face-to-face meeting~ by lili51540640 - Midna in a cuddly sandwich between Zelda and Link. I feel like I don't see a lot of OT3 art of them, glad to see it!

Mob Psycho 100

But mobrei have been in my head for half a month.
Idk why fem versions.. by PonnnPony - Uhhhhh hot damn, that's all I can say.

Nope
Art - I saw NOPE by tora0820 - Art of Em and that Akira reference (if you've seen the movie you know the one :D) done in Katsuhiro Otomo's style. So cool.

Art - nope, nope, nope. by mettaflix - Old magazine cover-style art of the movie. Too many great details to count.

[vriddy]

Ooh, the Zelda piece is delightful! And the Mp100 gender swap is excellent as well 😍

[glitteryv]

A whole lotta variety. Thank you for reccing these. :)
