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

Still grooving while reccing BTS fanworks... (❤ ω ❤)

[glitteryv]

FANART


* everyday by cathie_CT - The intimacy between Taehyung and Jimin in this piece is already greatness. What makes this fanart worth reccing is that the artist chose to depict the moment riiiiiight before they kiss. It's a FEELSPLOSION in a subtle way.


* LET'S BURN! by monixx9- All right, y'all. Like, the embroidery was already KILLA in the amount of details involved. AND THEN, YOU FIND OUT THE EMBROIDERY ALSO GLOWS IN THE DARK!?


* Untitled crochet fancraft by Sonitchka2 - Such a cute knit bonsai that's based on RM's own babby.


* Yoga NOby nadirainland - Cute piece based on the Run BTS episode where they do aerial yoga.


FICS

* The New Head of Strategic Development Mr. Kim by pinecones (Explicit, RM/Seokjin, background Hobi/Yoongi, 18.7k) - Very fun Omegaverse + Office AU story in which omega!Seokjin has let others at work think that he's mated to some alpha (he isn't). This lie by omission works wonderfully…until RM (who is an alpha) starts working as the literal head of the Strategic Development department.

Excellent characterizations, funny shenanigans, and some intensely hot sexy times. ;)

This fandom's creativity = ♡♡♡! The crochet bonsai, I'm so in awe of this IDEA, and then the execution is also flawless! :D

I'm in awe of anyone who can do knit crafts, LOL. But, yeah, the crochet bonsai is extra adorable. :D

A couple of art recs and a fic rec this week! Bungou Stray Dogs and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

The art:

BSD
.Oda/Dazai by asxxiz; this is so cute, I love this artist's style! I love Dazai's blush and seeing him happy like this. <3

.Kenji who sings and Akutagawa who listens by yo_bun_00; BEAST AU! This is so cute omg, they're so sweet!! I love them a lot. <3

And the fic:

Timeless by Klitch
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Fai/Kurogane, Sakura/Syaoran, T, 26180 words;
-Fairytale AU;
Once upon a time there was a child of misfortune and a broken mirror...and a day when snow fell in spring...

An old fic I revisited last night; it's delightful! They wrote the characters and their relationships into this world so well, and I love the conflicts Fai with his love for Ashura and his love for the rest of the team, and the clashes between him and Kurogane. The interactions between the main four are so lovely, I love them so much!! This is a fun read. <3

[glitteryv]

Fanart AND fics? Thank you for reccing them. :D

[donutsweeper]

Surprise, surprise, more lesser known MDZS/Untamed fic recs from me today (this time with an accidental canon-divergent AU theme):

The Fourth Path by handwritten (onefromanotherworld) (6.5k)
Summary: Wen Chao finds the Yunmeng Siblings and Wei Wuxian after the core transfer and throws them all into the Burial Mounds hoping to trap them there for all eternity. Turns out eternity is not as long as he had hoped for. After months developing a new cultivation path, the Yunmeng trio has come back to take back their sect. (absolutely fascinating demonic cultivating trio AU)

Patriarch by WithBroomBefore (26.5k)
Summary: Fix-it AU diverging from canon during the second Nightless City battle. A number of people don't die, but that does not make things easy. (AU where LWJ accidentally becomes a new Yiling Patriarch and WWX doesn't die, sort of)

Paths untaken by apathyinreverie (5k)
Summary: The thing is, the Cloud Recesses are big and Caiyi is even bigger. (Or, Lan Zhan chooses differently at Qiongqi Path.) (short but believable canon divergent fic after WWX rescues the Wen and hilarious brief LXC and LQR reactions to the result)

[glitteryv]

Solid theme is theme. Thank you for reccing these fics. :D

Fanart recs

[tamsin]

santana as j.c. leyendecker’s “the discus thrower” collier’s magazine cover - Glee, Santana, great pose and colors

wednesday - Wednesday/Enid, great use of contrast

Max Chapman - A League of their own, Max, lovely portrait

Like I needed an excuse - A League of their own, Jess/Lupe, love the intimacy between them

Re: Fanart recs

[scintilla10]

ooh, these are all so pretty! Especially love the colours and contrasts in the Wednesday/Enid piece.

Re: Fanart recs

[facethestrange]

I LOVE art that highlights the contrast between Wednesday and Enid color-wise. :D

And the Santana one is such a creative and unique idea! ♡

Re: Fanart recs

[glitteryv]

Oh, that Sanatana fanart is so cool! Thanks for reccing all of these fanarts. :D

[dolorosa_12]

I hope it's okay to link directly to a recs post on my own journal, which has the fandoms, pairings and other details listed.

Three recs for fic, all for small book fandoms (2 Benjamin January mysteries by Barbara Hambly, 1 The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon).

[glitteryv]

Thank you for reccing these fics. :)

[doranwen]

So, uh, I have NO idea what happened last week. I went to look at DW and realized I had two weeks of posts to catch up on instead of just one. Like, what? I must have been SUPER busy then. Anyway, I'm back with another Leverage rec:

The Two Hitters Job by sternenblumen (3739 words)
An Eliot & Quinn fic with some Eliot whump. Background can be read as whatever flavor of OT3 you like (platonic included).

[glitteryv]

Time is a weird concept, really, heheh. Thankies for the rec. :D

BTS fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Display Piece (https://archiveofourown.org/works/44375125) by clarz
artist Jeongguk/idol Namjoon, who are both poly!, rated Teen but with a lot of talk about dicks as artpieces

I just really like the setup of this story and all the talk about the art. And the flirting.

Re: BTS fanfic

[glitteryv]

Oh, I'm deffo rarin' to dive into that fic. Thank you for reccing it. :D!
