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/fancrafts/fanvids/fanarts/podfics/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

BTS Fanworks for y'all! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

[glitteryv]

FANART

* Leather & Pearls by artmy_yuki - An all-too cool version of Yoonji wearing one of the outfits that AgustD has been seen wearing during some of the US concerts.


* Morning routine by yOunG_loV3 - A mundane instance featuring shirtless RM and Jungkook. Set in an alternate version where Jungkook never got his arm sleeve ink.


* Kootar by Cherymochii - A 3-part study of Jungkook trying to deal with the hot weather in Qatar. Inspired by a recent-ish Bangtan Bomb that showed the behind-the-scenes of the "Dreamers" MV. This artist deserves a gold star for the intense attention to detail to all of Jungkook's arm tattoos.


FIC

* Fashion is Art by loquaciousEscapist (Rated Teen, Seokjin/Jungkook, 7.7k) - Broke college student Jungkook is hired to be the newest (read: ONLY) model for a quirky fashion line.

For a short fic, this one was tremendously entertaining. I loved the not-so-slow burn between Jungkook and Seokjin, the horribleness of Seokjin's designs, and the way the rest of the Tannies were involved in the story.


* lost in amazement by loquaciousEscapist (Rated Teen, RM/Yoongi, 10k) - A really smooth fic featuring academic rivals!Namgi, lots of funny asides from the rest of the Tannies, and a sweet romance between two guys who learn to (eventually) move past bad first impressions.

A few recs from the 2023 MDZS Reverse Big Bang from me today:

Oh if I could I'd will these clouds away by gdnightsweetme (7.5k)
Summary: Lan Wangji reaches the shop and stops dead. There is someone huddled on the step, but the meager overhang does nothing to shield them from the snow and the wind. “They are not dressed right for this weather,” is the first thought Lan Wangji has.

A boy is lost, a boy is found. (sweet, modern AU, LWJ helping MXY fic with accompanying art)

Peachick by saichan (6.5k)
Summary: Really, it all started with her brothers. If not for them, then Jiang Yanli might never have had the idea.

Jiang Yanli crochets a peacock feather baby blanket to announce her pregnancy to her husband. (lovely JYL-centric crafting = love fic with accompanying art)

Fate's Helpful Assistants by wanderingflame (24k)
Summary: When the Juniors discover Zizhen’s teacher knows Sizhui’s dad—and there’s clearly something going on between the two—they decide fate has brought the former lovers together and it’s now up to them to reunite them. Unfortunately, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan aren’t making it easy. (Very cute Modern-with-Cultivation fic with accompanying art)

Lovely recs are lovely. :D

I want to go to sleep (in your coffin) by slowtowners
Word Count: 1735 words
Fandom: What We Do In The Shadows (TV series)
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Guillermo/Nador
Summary: "Master? Are you awake?" Guillermo questions.
Slightly panicking, Nandor thinks back to books he’s read in which a character is sleeping.
"Zee zee zee zee zee," Nandor repeats the last letter of the alphabet, keeping his eyes shut.
-
In which Nandor plots to get closer to Guillermo. With Nandor being Nandor, things go about as expected.
Reccer's Notes: This is very cute, with Nador pretending to sleep like a human so he has an excuse to cuddle with Guillermo. Also, there was a line near the end about Colin Robinson starting a podcast that made me laugh.

That sounds like a good fic to read. Thank you for reccing it. :D

[kingstoken]

You're welcome!

Just the one, fanart, Jujutsu Kaisen: Droste effect, Itadori, Sukuna by tuuu06167427; this is so cool, I love how Itadori's expression morphs into Sukuna's with each layer, it's neat!

[glitteryv]

Oh, that IS a really cool fanart! Thank you for reccing it. :D

[yourlibrarian]

A nice illustration by Merlocked18 for a Merlin/Arthur story about archaeologists in Italy in the 1920s

[glitteryv]

Wow, the artist captured their likeness really, really well! The AU angle is neat too. Thank you for reccing it. :D

Just one Leverage rec again, but this one's exceptionally powerful:

And Let My Sins Become My Armour by Distracted (3334 words)
Emotional h/c with Eliot and Sophie. Tagged "Eliot Spencer Needs a Hug" and does he ever. Excellently written!

[glitteryv]

Such a chef's kiss of a rec. :D
