recthethingEvery 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/fancrafts/podfics/fanvids/fics/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

Told from Jimin's POV, this is must read for Vmin shippers. The author did an outstanding job in portraying the Vmin dynamic (with all of its ups and downs) from pretty much every angle. Even better is that the main conflict is an internal one and, rather than run away from it, the story has Jimin having to confront his own issues without making his (or anyone else's really) characterization veer into OTTness. There's some angst, yes, but also a lot of joy and love.
Throwing in a warning that, in the story, BTS is on a yearlong hiatus for reasons other than military enlistment. Some of Jimin's anxiety comes from his worry abt what the group will be like when they get back together, whether anyone want to have a permanent solo career, etc. Finally, Jimin does experience v. complicated feelings abt his gayness. I actually do hesitate to call it internalized homophobia (though I can see how other readers might consider it that), but there we are. This too is addressed, btw, so it's not like Jimin is stuck in a self-hating loop forever.
1 InuYasha rec
Date: 2023-10-19 03:34 pm (UTC)MirSan, 54,630 words, rated M
I don't even know where to start, other than: if you like MirSan and you enjoy adventure stories, this is a must-read. There's a major canon divergence during the final battle with Naraku and the sacred jewel, which spins off a brand new adventure for Miroku and Sango. It's an emotional roller coaster in addition to the action, and the author does an especially great job with the romantic rival - both in making him a fully fleshed out character in his own right, and creating a situation in which readers will likely find themselves almost hoping he succeeds in winning Sango over. (At least, I did.)

Summary: Lan Wangji doesn't know why Wei Wuxian is so interested in traveling to a city at the very edge of the civilized world. After Yunping, what secrets could possibly be left? But the desert remembers many things. (excellent post-canon bookverse casefic, many author's notes and comments are at the end of chapters rather than in the footnotes so the wordcount looks higher than it truly is)
The Most Beautiful Man Alive (and his gremlin son) by meyari (4k)
Summary: There was never a time when Wei Wuxian wasn’t aware of it. The way people looked at him, even as a child, made it obvious. But there was a time when he didn’t realize just how much power the face he’d inherited from his father gave him. Once he knew, though, oh. Oh, things changed after that. (canon-era AU where lots of things change as a result of WWX's unquestionable lineage and ridiculous beauty)

A BTS rec

"A Soulmate is just a person whose magic resonates with yours, makes yours easier to cast, better, stronger, and, frankly, Jeongguk needs all the help he can get. But he’s also a romantic at heart, and he’s heard all of the stories of Soulmates falling in love because they’re so well matched, and he wants that. Badly."
Or, Jeongguk and his six soulmates falling in love over the 92 days of spring.
This is so much fun - the other works by this author are also worth checking out.
