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

Another short and long Untamed/MDZS combo rec from me today:

different people with a common pain by littledust (2k)
Summary: After the events of canon, Lan Sizhui and Wen Ning encounter a village gripped by sickness. Sizhui's memories of Wen Qing return as he watches Wen Ning use his medical training. (a sweet little canon-compilant healer!Wen Ning post-canon fic)

can't find a way home by KouriArashi (109k)
Summary: After giving away his golden core and being thrown into the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian takes his revenge on the Wen sect without crossing paths with the Sunshot Campaign. With no trace of him found, his loved ones have no choice but to believe he died in the Burial Mounds, and go into mourning. But then strange things start to happen around Yunmeng ... and in Lanling, Jin Guangshan has only begun to take advantage of the power vacuum left behind by the war. (Another really long, just completed fic. This does a great job at showing how being thrown in the burial mounds an might have affected WWX and how much everything might have changed if he'd been more messed up than he had been in canon after that experience)

That's a good combo! Thank you for reccing these fics. :D

Handful of fanart recs! Mob Psycho 100, Pokémon, Bungou Stray Dogs, Kingdom Hearts, and Yugioh!

MP100
.Shelter, pages 5-8 and page 9, a Shimazaki/Teru comic by qiandai_suian; I love how Shimazaki messes with Teru, he's such a tease omg! Also love how flustered Teru gets when Shimazaki tells him he likes him. (':

Pokémon
.Owl, Decidueye by wulierrr; this is so cool, such a cool atmosphere surrounding it! :D

BSD
.Kenji by Hei__wa2; he's so cute! Really love their color choices. <3

KH
.Saïx by kanolussi; there's so much emotion here, and I love the movement of his hair and the cords on his coat, and the tiny sliver of his scar glowing on his face, it's all great!

YGO
.Bakura by imfinethnkunyou; he's cute, I love how they draw him. <3

[glitteryv]

This Merlin gifset I saw: https://www.tumblr.com/anxieteandbiscuits/710768464223223808/aristos-the-musical

reminded me of one of my favorite fan vids ever, Lightning Strike by obsessive24 -- a comparison of Kings, Merlin and Alexander the Great, as heroes who live in history and myth.

[tarlanx]

Thanks for reccing the fan vid - it was really good.

[yourlibrarian]

So glad someone else saw it! I don't even know how many times I watched it, and it's never lost its power for me.

[glitteryv]

Oh, I remember that fanvid! Thanks for reccing it and the gifset too. :D

The first series told in first person from Ed's POV. Great writing and will occasionally stab you.

Modern AU with the "Looking for fake boyfriend to mess with my awful family at Christmas Craigslist ad" trope. Adorable. Also, red pandas.

Some good BTS fanworks... (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ

[glitteryv]

FANART

* DIORMIN by majablanque - A lovely collection of drawings based on the Jimin x Dior collabo. Including some renderings of his W Korea photos.


* Untitled Hobi fanart by hobaybee - Striking doodle-style piece of Hobi during his Jack in the Box era.


* Flower field by hycintwo - A stunning fanart based on RM's "Wildflower" music video. The combination of Nature and RM dressed in ivory clothes is v. soothing to see.


* Part 1 of a really good crossover and here's Part 2 by agustbites - I love the idea of "Smoke Sprite"!RM, AgustD, and Arson!Hobi meeting up. >:)


FICS

* indiscentsible by cloudyworld (Explicit, OT7, 10k) - A story about a version of BTS set in an Omegaverse. Three members are alphas, three are omegas. Although everything made it seem like Jungkook would present as another alpha, he ends up being a beta instead.

This is a fic abt how he balances his pack in both sweet and naughty ways.

[doranwen]

One quick Leverage rec again (and note what it has in it, lol):

Midazolam by mewCoyote (1498 words)
Nate & Eliot fic with a bit of h/c.

[glitteryv]

Solid rec is solid! :D
