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

FANART

* Untitled Namgi fanart by agustbites - Another fanart inspired by RM's thirst clip? YUP! This time, there's the bonus!Yoongi laying down on the floor (which, it's canon too, hahah.)


* ☀️🌙🌊🥹 by Elsa_draws - NSFW content warning for nudity (no genitals are shown but the two ppl ARE naked). I love the mellow vibes.


* layoVer 🌧️by hobeeternal - Cute fanart based on the "Rainy Days" MV by Taehyung.


* Haegeum Yoongi doll by mishalla_bts - The level of DETAIL in this doll is jaw-dropping, really.


FIC

* and now i'm covered in you by jooniesyoonie (Rated Teen, RM/Yoongi, 12k) - Non-Idol AU in which they're all at university. There are some small magical elements (such as RM having some plant-based powers, but the whole thing is more on the Magical Realism side of things.) The premise: slowly but surely, Namgi get together. V. low heat but super lovely all the same.

One fairly old (2020) and one new (completed this month) MDZS/The Untamed fic rec from me today:

the song remains the same by la_muerta (4.5k)
Summary: Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story, and there is no other version of this story. But maybe the end of one story is just the beginning of another one. Wei Wuxian dies a second time, this time for good. Lan Wangji retreats to the cave under the Cold Spring to grieve and unintentionally seals himself for a thousand years. He wakes to a world of electric lights, internet memes, and bewildering technology - but some things remain the same. (this older fic from 2020 is just lovely and lyrical)

Lay my body down by tawaen (48k)
Summary: One of the fragments of Wei Wuxian's soul, splintered during the first siege of the Burial Mounds, uses the energy released by the Yin Tiger Tally and flees backwards through time to another moment where Wei Wuxian was close to death – after the fall of Lotus Pier, at the hands of Jiang Wanyin. Knowing how his first life will end, Wei Wuxian decides to hide his survival, and leave the cultivation world behind. (recently finished canon divergent fic where WWX leaves during the night after Jiang Cheng's attack post-Lotus Pier's fall and many things change as a result. Note- not Jiang Cheng friendly)

Two amazing-sounding recs. :D

Woman in Hiding: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45155725

Still ongoing, 25+ words. A Sakura/Itachi soulmate fic where she's aware she'll die alone and unloved, except she didn't die and now has to deal with the awkward and thorny situation of having kissed one of Leaf's biggest traitors.

Very fun! Read all chapters in one go.

[glitteryv]

Sounds like a good time! Thank you for reccing it.

This piece of Star Wars fan art by givenclarity made me laugh -- which is not common when we're talking about Order 66: https://www.tumblr.com/starwarsheritageposts/726487729011032064/givenclarity-panharmonium-i-just-ordered-a

.i hate summer….. Oda & Akutagawa by mama_naranai825; this is so fun, haha, Akutagawa melting under the coat is very relatable. :'D

.Bunny day Naomi/Junichirou by aaarakugaki; I love their outfits and how she's covered up by his jacket, and their expressions are great. <3

.One more hour, Kenji & Tecchou by r1kuuw; I'm not caught up so I'm missing context but omg I super love the expressions going on here, and the shots of everyone else!! Super cool! :D

[glitteryv]

One quick Leverage rec again:

By Sea and Sand by Tanjamuse (2960 words)
A completely AU Sophie/Eliot fic. Fluffy and enjoyable, even if it's not very much like the show. :)

[glitteryv]

That sounds like the best kind of AU to me!Thankies for reccing it.
