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 fanvids/fics/fancrafts/podfics/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

Some fanvids and fanfics for this week!

Vids:

Gilmore Girls
jess mariano | brutal by ruth: the description says it all: if teenage jess were a song, it'd be brutal by olivia rodrigo.

Stranger Things
The Hopper-Byers Family - Somewhere Only We Know by DarkestxHearts: why is this so good and why does it hurt in the best way? Never realized until seeing this that this is the found family turned real family I'm really rooting for!

Stranger Things S3] [Another One Bites The Dust by Spellbound: the editing on this vid is unbelievable! I admire it on so many levels.

Mad Men
saly & don draper | cool about it by kindred spirit: sally & don draper was the relationship I was most invested in during Mad Men. There's that infamous scene about nostalgia from Season 1, and it's about this vid.

Fics:

Lost in Translation (2023)
After Time by Moebius: i love this fic for two reasons: the fic itself, which is poignant and beautiful, and the opening note Moebius wrote to the receiver of this gift. I'm much older and have experienced a lot more of life now than when I first saw it a decade ago. Now I have to watch Lost in Translation again.

Scream (Movies)
Blood and Nightmares: This fic is still anonymous because it's the gift I received for Trick or Treat. It's Tara and Sam post-Scream VI and I really admired how the author went about their dynamic.

Oh, wow that Mad Men fanvid got me right in the feels. Like you, theirs was the one dynamic I remained super invested for the entirety of the show. Thanks for reccing that, the rest of the fanvids, and the fics as well. :DDD

Yeah that vid got me right in the feels too! I both loved and felt wrecked over seeing just how similar they were.
