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

FANART

* Untitled goth cowboy Hoseok by RanNguyen3 - What an amazing piece! The artist based it on the promo for Hobi's upcoming folio.

The next batch of fanarts were inspired by the ALMOST 5-HR live that Jungkook did earlier this month. It was glorious and a bit O___o a times.

* After the live 🐰🐥 by mariartpasta - Cuteness!


* Marry Me JK 🐨💗 by vanndort_ - Wedding bells for the sweet couple


* 🐰💤💕 by bespokebunny - NSFW-ish due to nudity. Jungkook snoozing (based on his own words that, occasionally, he does like napping on his dog's doggy bed. IDEK, y'all.)


FICS

* Display Piece by clarz (Rated Teen, pre-RM/Jungkook, 7.7k) - V. fascinating story in which art patreon!RM visits artist!Jungkook. I love all the art nerdery as the two of them flirt with each other.

(the entire Meowterprise series is wonderful, check out its whole tag)

and not quite fandom, but the artist who brought us Our Blessed Rebel Queen: Carrie Fisher and Our Lady of Grateful Camaraderie: Betty White has now presented the tribute Our Lady of New Frontiers, Nichelle Nichols as well.

[glitteryv]

Oh, that Addams Family piece is perf! Thank you for the rest of the recs. They were amazing too. :D

[facethestrange]

Daaaaamn, the Nichelle Nichols art looks so much like the pictures of me and jacquelee with Nichelle Nichols (SHE WAS HOLDING MY HAND ♡) that it made me tear up, thank you for the rec! ♡♡♡

[donutsweeper]

Oh wow, it really does!

Some others I've seen by lyricl
Word Count: 6633 words
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Izzy/Ed/Stede, Background Izzy/Lucius
Summary: Stede, whose greatest pleasure on God’s green earth was putting Ed Teach in a beautiful dressing gown and making love to him face-to-face until they were both crying, would never understand it—this mean, snapping push and pull between Ed and Izzy.
“'Boss,' he calls me,” Ed said around a yawn. “What happened to ‘lazy little slag?’”
“You can be both,” Izzy mumbled, patting Ed’s chest over the tattoo on his sternum.
Reccer's Note: So basically this fic is Ed/Izzy having sexy times while Stede watches, which is very nice, but I thought the banter was also great and felt in character. It's a futurefic so there were also some hints at how they ended up in the situation they were in that intrigued me.

And Above All Else by viceversa
Word Count: 44,154 words
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Izzy/Ed/Stede
Summary: Izzy Hands, fresh out of prison, was adrift in his hometown. Not knowing who to contact or what to do, he channels his emotions into writing like he'd learned to in prison, sharing at a local open mic night in a small bookstore. Reluctantly but surely, he befriends the owner, Stede, and let's Edward, his old boss, come back into his life.
Reccer's Note: You'd think from the description that this fic might be somewhat angsty, with Izzy having just gotten out of prison, but it is just so soft. Izzy and Stede meet first, and Izzy just kind of falls into Stede's little group of misfits and then a relationship with Stede, and eventually Ed comes back into Izzy's life. Izzy is softer here than he is in canon, still a bit of a grump, but a little more open. It is hard maintain character's personality in Modern AUs, but I still really enjoyed this. One thing, Izzy's experience of prison is no where near realistic, like he goes to the best prison ever, that has lots of free educational courses including creative writing courses, but the author admits in one of their notes that they are aware of that.

Thank you for these lovely recs. :D

Some Arcane recs:

Coming to Collect (https://archiveofourown.org/works/44748008) by ArcherFtx - Great Sevika/Vi fic pre-timeskip when Vi is a teen and Sevika is still working for Vander.

Backpay (https://archiveofourown.org/works/43725645) by witchoil - Another good recent Sevika/Vi fic but this is an AU where Vi works for Silco.

push me down i'll pull you with me (https://archiveofourown.org/works/39379374) by Morike91 - Fantastic Sevika/Vi smut (although heads up, this is archive-locked, so you'll need to be logged into AO3).

[glitteryv]

Excellent! Thanks for reccing these. :D

One quick Leverage rec:

The Face Connection Job by Plotbunnyhunter (3697 words)
Eliot & Parker between S1 and S2… A fun action-filled fic.

[glitteryv]

Solid fic rec is a solid fic rec. :D

[militarypenguin]

Haven't posted here in a hot minute! Let's make up for lost time with some Mob Psycho 100 fic I've recently read and loved. You can check out the comments section on these fics for longer, gushing comments from me.

against all odds by Anonymous (Mob/Reigen, nsfw) - Trans man!Mob topping the hell out of Reigen. Sweet and hot, and I love how the author lays out the history between them.

Backpay by Unashamedfully (Mob/Reigen, nsfw) - Reigen owes Mob 2190 kisses--Reigen finds a way to both swindle his way out of it and give Mob his money's worth. I love the domesticity in this, the history of their relationship, and the amazing, amazing buildup to one extremely hot ending.

Better Him by ConnorRK (OCs/Reigen, nsfw, cw: non-con) - Reigen, Ritsu and Teru are kidnapped and Reigen offers himself up to their captors. The vividly intense writing and fantastic characterizations make this an absolute must for anyone with a fondness/stomach for non-con who loves reading about Reigen getting whumped. A second chapter is also in the works, so be on the lookout for that!

games people play by quiveringpalm (Reigen-centric Mob/Reigen, cw: allusions to past abuse) - An ongoing slowburn fic about Reigen coming to grips with his past and developing yet-to-be-realized feelings for Mob. I've been following this fic since day one of the first chapter dropping and it is phenomenal. The prose is exquisite, the pacing is brilliant and I love, love how the writer utilizes all of the characters and their dynamics (not just Reigen and Mob, but also Serizawa and Dimple are in pitch-perfect form here).

Shadows of the Mess You Made by crowtoes (Mob-centric gen, cw: gore, implied body horror) - Post-Suzuki showdown AU where Mob wakes up feeling different. The finest, whumpiest body horror you can ask for.

[glitteryv]

Look at all of them recs! :D
