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

Some BTS goodies for y'all! (oﾟvﾟ)ノ

FANART

* Everyone's favorite girlfriend by jjeoreomo - NSFW warning for lingerie and light bondage.

What a fun Yoonji/Jungkook fanart! I love how openly sexual this piece is without anything super graphic.


* Yoongi with little buns is my dream by vigoh_ - The adorability factor is off the scale with this fanart of Yoongi letting Taehyung and Hobi, his two boyfriends, do some hairstlying. Heheh.


* Untitled Nam2seok fanart by gaucherouni - lulzy mini-comic abt RM, Hobi, and Seokjin's tattoos.

FICS

* An Unexpected Warm Front by peanutbutterapple (Rated for General Audiences, Taehyung/Yoongi, 8.2k) - A gentle story that combines Omegaverse with College AU.

Omega!Yoongi's usual naps in class get disrupted by a new student who is the weirdest alpha he's ever met.


* Is My Roommate A Vampire? by Cloudyworld - (Explicit, RM/Yoongi, 13.1k) - RM really likes his roommate Yoongi, but he has some…questions abt just how human Yoongi is or isn't.

Pretty fun story that plays with miscommunication in a way that won't frustrate readers.

MDZS/Untamed fic recs (with accidental canon era but AU theme) from me today:

Inter-Sect Politics for the Absolute Beginner by Elpie (Horribibble) (3.5k)
Today, with a formal missive from Koi Tower in hand and Zonghui staring at him with open concern, Nie Mingjue throws his head back and laughs and knows that no request will ever bring him such joy: Sect Leader Jin Guangshan has been brutally assaulted and, due to a conflict of interest, the Jin sect begs the assistance of the Honorable Sect Leader Nie Mingjue in the search for justice. AKA Wei Ying was raised in a brothel in Yunping, and Sect Leader Jin is having a very bad day. (a hilarious take on what it says on the tin)

Flowers Blooming by Ilona22 (36k)
Summary: At the coast, there is a city where they say the most beautiful of flowers live. Among them, one shines for many reasons. Wei Ying is orphaned when he is four years old. Unlike in another world, he does not have to wait years to be found by his father’s martial brother. Instead, he is found by a woman looking for a child to love. From that, he grows up differently. Some things are changed. Other matters are not influenced by the absence of one child. And yet others were written in the stars long ago. (Interesting canon divergent Non-Jiang, rogue cultivator and courtesan WWX!AU, somewhat not Jiang friendly)

What if you're making me all I was meant to be by WishingStar (12.5k)
Summary Snippet: Something has gone wrong with the world. The worst part is, Sizhui's the only one who realizes it. (interesting combined AU/Soulmate AU/Time Travel AU fic)

It's so neat how you do themes each week. Thank you for reccing these fics. :D!

Arteries (1551 words) by AliceInKinkland
Fandom: Star Trek: Discovery
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Characters: Mirror Philippa Georgiou
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Character Study, Dreams and Nightmares, Horror, Mirror Universe
Summary: In the days leading up to her coronation, incoming emperor Philippa Georgiou is plagued by a recurring dream.

Such a fantastic character study! ♡ (Keep the rating and warning in mind because it does get pretty graphic.)

A Gift to Her (100 words) by Merfilly
Fandom: The Sandman (TV 2022)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lucien | Lucienne (The Sandman)
Additional Tags: Drabble, Solstice
Summary: Lucienne is tired, and yet...

This is so soft and peaceful! ♡ (And it has a podfic by blackglass, which is how I found the original story.)

[glitteryv]

What looks like an intense character study PLUS a mellower story (with bonus!podfic). Excellent recs are excellent. :D!

[facethestrange]

Aw, thank you! ♡ Yeah, my tastes swing wildly from 'soft and cute' to 'gory and horrifying', without much in-between (sometimes in the same fanwork/fandom, sometimes - like here - in different ones). xD

[yourlibrarian]

Fun read where Murderbot confronts some familiar problems: Murderbot and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Lorelei https://archiveofourown.org/works/43682748

[vriddy]

Murderbot continues to be very relatable :D

[yourlibrarian]

If only we had the same countermeasures!

[glitteryv]

Awesome! Thanks for reccing this fic. :D!

Two fics I loved from Yuletide this year:

Such a warm commotion by whetherwoman
Fandom: Fire Island
Noah/Will + Noah/Will/OMC, rated E, ~9k, post canon.
Really loved this look at their relationship after the events of the movie! It rings very true for the characters and was soft as well as hot.

Of course I want by trobadora
Fandom: Tian Ya Ke/Faraway Wanderers (novel Word of Honor is based on)
WenZhou, rated T, ~ 3k, canon divergence.
Loved the teasing in this, nice character work.

Fanart (all MDZS/The Untamed)
- Lovely WangXian kissing by moobiess
- Another great WangXian piece by vorpalone

Someone I follow posted a Yuletide reclist (mostly 2022, but not all), but there was a fic for the podcast The Silt Verses that I really wanted to highlight called The Mire Tide. It feels so in keeping with the tone and voice of canon, and it's just exceptional all around.

[glitteryv]

Ah, isn't it so great when a fic keeps everything solidly in character and voice? Greatness, really! Thank you for reccing this fic. :D!

[doranwen]

One quick Leverage rec:

Invasion by nostabbingwednesdays (1939 words)
An ace!Parker fic where Parker gets sensory overload - but the boys are there for her.

[glitteryv]

That sounds like a good story to check out. Thankies for reccing it. :D!
