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

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

FANART

* ♡✨ by o24_y1 - Close-up of Seokjin's eyes based on a screenshot from the upcoming Suchwita episode he was the guest at.


FIC

* all hands on deck by snooki (Explict, Loose OT7; Established Taehyung/Jimin, 10.1k) - So this one time, Jimin and Yoongi start to argue that they can take on RM's huge EGGPLANT EMOJI . A bet is made...

I really enjoyed this cuz it had a lot of sex snafus, Vmin VMINNING, sweet!Jungkook, and a lot of sweet moments as well as lulzy ones.


* you, me, and the pretty boy makes three by jooniesyoonie (Explicit, 6.2k, RM/Yoonji/Jungkook) - Verrrrrrry hot fic featuring a phone sex threesome, pegging, and some yummy femdom. Good times for everyone, really!


* The Thirst Trap by sequoiasem (Explicit, RM/Yoongi, 16.6k) - Canon compliant (in the sense that BTS exists. You really don't need to know anything more than that) story abt RM asking Yoongi for help taking hot selcas. Which, in turn, leads to some realizations and lulzy moments.


* Hello, Stranger series by racingthesunset (Explicit, RM/Jungkook, background ship of Taehyung/Jimin, 17.9k split into two fics) - A Non-Idol AU couple of fics abt Jungkook's exploration and experiences in kink. Also, v. hot times abt a specific kink fantasy he's held close to his chest.

Summary: While recovering from an injury, Wei Ying contemplates the meaning of home. Turns out the Wens have a lot to say on the topic. (soft and sweet modern-with-cultivation AU)

[Wonderful characterization, unsettling mood and the softest ending! ♡]
the fall (10577 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: B'Elanna Torres & Naomi Wildman
Characters: Naomi Wildman, B'Elanna Torres, Samantha Wildman, USS Voyager, The Doctor (Star Trek)
Additional Tags: Dreams, Dreams vs. Reality, Sentient Spaceship Question Mark, Child's POV, Unlikely Friendships
Summary: No one in Engineering thinks Naomi’s just being silly. They think she’s in the way, or else they don’t think about her at all. But the ship computer said Seven’s in Engineering, and Seven promised she’d help Naomi with her homework today, so Naomi puts on a brave face in the turbolift and starts to make her way down.
(Naomi falls much further than she should — in the wrong direction, no less — and she can't seem to find her way back home.)


[Great scene choices, and the song couldn't possibly be more perfect for Lottie! ♡]
[VID] The Letter by Anonymous
Fandom: Yellowjackets
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death
Characters: Lottie Matthews
Additional Tags: Fanvids, Season/Series 01, Animal Death, Mild Gore, Mental Health Issues, Possession
Summary: Gather me up, because I’m lost. A Lottie-centric vid for season 1.


[Wonderful exploration of trauma and healing, with an adorable ending! ♡]
our own thing (1798 words) by Daxs10thHost
Fandom: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: La'an Noonien-Singh & Number One | Una Chin-Riley
Characters: Number One | Una Chin-Riley (Star Trek), La'an Noonien-Singh
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Backstory, Friendship, Developing Friendship, Intergenerational friendship, Getting to Know Each Other, Midnight Conversations, Worldbuilding: Illyria, Platonic Support, Hair Braiding, The Process of Healing From Past Trauma, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort
Summary: In the dark, she can hear La’an’s muffled sobs and wants to go to her, but remembers what the doctor said about control and one’s own space. “La’an,” she calls softly, “you’re in your quarters on the Federation starship Martin Luther King, Jr. My name is Una. Ensign Chin-Riley, remember? You’re safe.”
or, after an unexpected rescue, Una helps La’an heal


[Fantastic worldbuilding and flawless, often hilarious, characterization! ♡]
Frozen (3307 words) by KannaOphelia
Fandom: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax, Greebo (Discworld), Minor appearances of Nanny Ogg and Agnes Nitt
Additional Tags: gen - Freeform, Fantasy, Borrowing, Knitting With Malice, Minor Peril to Innocent Bats
Summary: Granny was not afraid. Many terrors stalked the forests of Lancre at night; and Granny was reasonably sure she was the most fearsome of them.
The small, furry creatures might have told her differently. They might have whispered in hushed tones, if they could whisper, that is, rather than squeak and snuffle, of a horrifying bedtime story for young animals, emphasizing the importance of staying hidden and not wandering too far from home. Of an embodiment of death and destruction, an apocalyptic figure of doom, that appeared and disappeared leaving only carnage in its wake. A horror that, not content with nine lives, nightly went out to add more to his collection.

Another quick Leverage rec:

Inquiry from Nathan Ford by marlowe78 (3127 words)
An excellent conversation from Eliot's POV - with Nate, post-The Big Bang Job. There's a few minor issues with the opening quotation marks but they don't affect how good the fic is. There's also a couple sequels which I haven't read yet, but it reads well on its own. :)

[glitteryv]

Thankies for reccing this fic. :D
