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 fanarts/fics/fancrafts/fanvids/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

Striking, isn't it? One thing I thought was cool to see in each of these was such different styles but all memorable in some way.

BTS Fanarts of JOY ( *︾▽︾)

[glitteryv]

* broke my heart but I'm healing by camy__min - Simple yet beautiful portrait of a shirtless Yoongi after the reveal of the location of his "7" tattoo.


* So burn it till it’s all gone 🔥🐰🐱 by hunnysvga - Amazing piece featuring the moment in which Jungkook appeared onstage during Day 1 of the D-Day Tour: The Final to sing "Burn It" with Yoongi. I love how vibrant the art is here.


* when bae criticises late-stage capitalism with you during your tour finale 😻 by - Cute fanart inspired by RM's surprise guest starring to sing "Strange" with Yoongi during Day 3 of the the D-Day Tour: The Final.


* FUTURE'S GONNA BE OK 🖤 by 0901mg_ - INTENSE poster-style fanart of Yoongi's 3 guest stars during the last three concerts. The mix of blacks, reds, and oranges enhances the vibes a lot.


* somebody pointed out that these songs spell bts and i havent stopped thinking about it since 🥹 by bakbakjimin - Same, OP. Gorram it, same. Like, THE FACT that "Burn it", "Tony Montana", and "Strange" were performed EXACTLY in that order... *clutches heart*. ;___;


* 💜🔍🔎🐱🔍🔎💜 by dopeshow401 - One of the most magical things that happened this past weekend was seeing BTS' entire Hyung Line reunited. There's a lot to love in this piece. I legit get teary-eyed if I stare at this fanart for too long.


* rockstar kim taehyung ⚡️⛓ by tokehashi - Exactly what it says on the tin.


* Love Me Again ✨ by thuyaleelee - What an artsy rendering of V's MV for "Love Me Again". I love everything abt this!


* Love Me Again 🐻 by elaramins - A colorized version of one of the B&W photos that dropped last night (per my time zone) as part of the promo rollout for V's upcoming album "LayoVer".

Right? :D

First, I have to submit my usual Leverage rec.

Songs for a Sleeping Girl by DeGuerre (1184 words)
This is the first in a series of one-shots showing Sophie's love language of physical touch with the other team members. I've not even read the next ones yet, but I can already tell they'll be good from this one, which is a Nate/Sophie sickfic, all sweet and very them.



But I also read two absolutely amazing fics this week for The Fugitive and I loved them so much I have re-read them at least two or three times already. I am not joking at all, I keep being drawn to them and adore them. So if you've ever watched The Fugitive (you know, the one starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones), then you really really need to read these. They're both lovely friendship fics and I just HAD to rec them here. ALLLLLLLLL the feels…

Cosmic Irony by OrionLady (16517 words)
The "Samuel Gerard helps Richard Kimble get back into some sense of a normal life and they build a strong friendship in the process" fic you never knew you wanted. It's part of a series - and I like the first and third one too! - but you *can* read this one without reading the others, and this one's my favorite of them all.

The Anatomy of a Heartbreak Éclair by OrionLady (23645 words)
An incredibly beautiful and in-character look at what might have happened after Richard Kimble was exonerated and went back to work - all from Samuel Gerard's perspective. It made me laugh, nearly cry, smile, and sniff, all in turns.

[chestnut_pod]

Those two original ones are just so cute!

Resurgam by HolRose
Word Count: 13,704 words
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: When two damaged people meet in a time of war, it is quite possible that anything might happen. They might change each other’s lives. They might even fall in love.
A human AU set at the time of the London Blitz featuring two lonely souls from very different worlds who belong together. And a lot of very necessary tea.
Reccers Notes: This lovely fic came out just before season 2 and I'm afraid it might not get the appreciation it deserves. It's a Human AU where Aziraphale and Crowley meet when they are both on volunteer fire watch during WWII. It does a wonderful job of building up their relationship, and is very soft for the time it takes place in. You can tell that the author did a lot of research to make the setting as accurate as possible, and you'll learn a bit about the fire brigades and the early start of the war.
