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.

[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! ♡]

Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death

[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.
