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

This week's BTS goodies... 😃

FANART

* 토끼 - JK by CadelKipp - Cool art celebrating the new Lunar Year.


* Love in the moonstar by yeoboprettybaby - Possibly inspired by the 2022 Chuseok photoshoot, here's Seokjin and Jungkook cuddling while wearing hanboks. I like the soft vibes.


* heart boy by yoongeesus - Nice rendering of Hobi during last week's Dior fashion show. It's cute that the artist changed Hobi's original shoes for something that's more playful.


* in paris by runballadmix7 - Another fanart inspired by the Dior fashion show. This time, though, it's Hobi and Jimin as seen by someone behind them.


FICS

* don't love me like this by glossedmouth (Unrated, Taehyung/Hobi, 3.5k, Omegaverse) - Hobi's an omega who begins to get courted by alpha!Taehyung. What might sound like the simplest of premises becomes a tender story of two people learning to understand each other. I really like the way the author wrote abt Taehyung being in the autism spectrum, the background Yoonjin commentary, and the way Hobi/Taehyung love was honest and soft at the same time.

Various MDZS/Untamed lesser known AUs from me today:

Heart of Glass by Sweetlittlevampire (60k)
Summary: In a world where stained glass is imbued with magic to grant wishes - a practice now forbidden - Lan Wangji tries to navigate through a life in which he thinks himself responsible for his mother's untimely passing. While faced with the trials and tribulations of the life of a young aspiring novelist, he meets a young boy, a mischievous crow, and a man who claims to be still able to weave the magic of old. (fascinating steampunkish "modern" (1920's-ish maybe) cultivation AU)

The Porcelain Lotus of Yunmeng series by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (2 works, currently 16k)
Two works 1)The Porcelain Lotus of Yungmeng. That one where Wei Wuxian doesn't die at the Siege of Nightless City and Jiang Cheng finds him first. and 2) A Place for Fury. That one where Lan Zhan catches up. (Where JC finds an injured and amnesiac WWX a few years after Nightless City and brings him to Lotus Pier and then later LWJ finds him there and what happens then. Very interesting AU)

Lost Oppurtunities by Scarlet914 (6k)
Summary: Mo Xuanyu dies before he could summon Wei Wuxian. The truth still comes out. At the Guanyin Temple, Jin Guangyao reveals everything and brings out a mysterious array to get a second chance. But an unforeseen attack disturbs the array, which leads to an unexpected outcome. Jiang Cheng finds himself in his 7 years old self, safe and sound with his family and sect. Soon enough, he learns that he was not the only one who came back. He vows to be a better brother this time around. But his determination and regret just might be too late. (really interesting idea for a time travel AU with a great JC voice)

This week I have read the new chapter of possibly my favorite currently regularly updating WIP three times already.
MCYT/SBI vampire AU: To Be Truly Free by CleanLenins
97k WIP, gen
Featuring royalty, vampires, child soldiers, gods, prophecies, and Techno doing his best to find some measure of freedom despite terrible odds.

[glitteryv]

All right! Thank you for reccing this. :)

[doranwen]

Two Leverage recs this time!

Click, Click, Click, Snick by sunlitroses (3626 words)
General banter and becoming a family with the younger three; can be read either as pre-OT3 or just platonic.

(This one's archive-locked)
The Art of Flirting by lunarshores (1838 words)
A delightful Sophie & Parker 5+1.

[glitteryv]

Woot, woot! Thankies for the recs! :D

MDZS/The Untamed Fics:

Post Mortem by cataclysmic_calamity is a threadfic that is now completely archived on AO3!
WangXian, E, 79k. Modern AU, serial killers, friends with benefits, drug addiction, angst with a happy ending
This fic deals with some heavy topics in an interesting way. Wei Ying basically becomes the “final girl” in a very real horror movie that his life suddenly turns into, Lan Zhan unwavering support at his side. Had me on the edge of my seat. Has a happy ending but heed the warnings.

As You’ve Always Been by vesna was really entertaining.
WangXian, E, 15k, Modern with cultivation AU, getting together, hurt/comfort
It's not that Wei Ying has anything against Lan Zhan—on the contrary. But they aren't exactly on the best terms these days, and Wei Ying needs this job. Lan Zhan getting in the way will just complicate matters.
Or, a spontaneous night hunt together leads to unexpected results.



Fanart for The Untamed, Word of Honor, Glass Onion:

- Beautiful Prince!Lan Wangji and General!Wei Wuxian fanart by sweetlittlevampire.
- Very cool Glass Onion art of Benoit Blanc/Philipp by petite-madame.
- Gorgeous WenZhou by the ever amazing brilcrist.
- Another breathtaking WangXian piece by Foxking/狐狸大王a

[glitteryv]

Excellent recs are excellent. :)
