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/podfics/fanvids/fanarts/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

Nothing but good BTS fanworks. 😛

FANART

* Untitled The Astronaut fanart by o24_y1 - A cool piece inspired by Jin's "The Astronaut" MV. I love seeing Wotteo hanging out next to Jin.

* Future's gonna be okay by o24_y1 - Cool piece based on the "Haegeum" MV. I love the colors being so vibrant.


* starting up pat-pat business by 0901pppp0912 - V. cute fanart of Maknae line making sure they each get some time to rub their hands against RM's buzzcut, heheh.


FIC


* juxtaposition by theundiagnosable (Explicit, Taehyung/Jimin, 5k words) - A Jimin-centric story that explores his current mindset as well as how awesome his established relationship with Taehyung is.

Content warnings (per the author): "pretty badly dysphoric/negative body image thoughts; said dysphoria is largely in the past and is being remembered by the pov character who is now in a much better space mentally"

FTR, the overall story is way lighter in mood than the warnings might make it seem like. At the same time, the warnings are there for a reason. <3


* Sunny With a Chance of Lizards by SugarAndMint (Rated Teen, Yoongi/Jimin, 59.5k) - Non-Idol AU in which Yoongi calls Jimin by accident (Jimin and Hobi have the same phone number except for one digit) one night.

Yoongi's a freelance songwriter and producer who is trying to figure out if he's emotionally and psychologically strong enough to try to pursue a career in the highly competitive Korean music business again. He'd attempted it before only to crash and burn in a rather bad way. Hyung line are a close group of friends (also Namseok are dating). Maknae line are friends. V. low heat story that has lots of feelings and a really good and fun slow burn.

Trigger warning: a cat that's mostly Yoongi's pet gets hurt in Chapter 5. THE CAT IS ATTENDED TO AND THINGS ARE OKAY FOR THE CAT. I'm giving the heads up cuz Yoong almost has a panic attack and I teared up when I was reading that section. The author had warned for it at the beginning of that chapter, but I figured it'd be good to add an extra heads up.


* so much at stake by caprikoya (Rated teen, Yoongi/Seokjin, 12.4k) - Perfect for SPOOOOKY season, here's a Yoongi-centric Non-Idol AU in which most of the Tannies are some kind of supernatural creature. In Yoongi's case, he was turned into a vampire against his will and he's not coping well...

Trigger warnings for depression, insomnia, and an extremely mild instance of self-harm

spoiled here

there's a scene later in the story in which Yoongi (who, again, is a vampire) pulls back one of the blackout curtains during daytime, and watches his hand turn pink from sunlight. His thoughts at the time are muddled as he has been in a depressive episode after getting turned. Another member (who is also a vampire) closes the curtain and takes care of Yoongi.
