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

FANART

* Untitled Seokjin sketches by amvuui - SUCH A COOL DUO OF PIECES focusing on Seokjin and "The Astronaut".


* Almond blossom 🌼💫 by hobichuus - GORGEOUS piece. I love the color palette a lot.


* 🐯🐱 by _Yong4_ - An R63 version of Taehyung/Yoongi.


* Until 2025by namgicores - Ooof, this one hurrrrts. But we will wait patiently. In order from left to right: Hobi, Seokjin, RM, Jimin, Yoongi, Taehyung, and Jungkook. ;___;

FIC

* You Are The One I've Been Looking For by NilyuElra (Rated Teen, Yoongi/Seokjin, 7k) - Non Idol AU in which Yoongi is Death. He's navigated his existance by keeping everyone (safe for a handful of ppl) at arms' length. And then, Jin becomes his new (temporary) roommated. An extremely sweet fic despite the seriousness of the premise.

Trigger Warning: mentions of death, on-page temporary death.

Two fic recs from ficinthebox, authors still anon:

Nirvana in Fire:
our hands our hearts are empty. Summary: Twelve years after the Chiyan massacre Jingyan, bitter and grieving, is urgently called back to the capital and presented by unexpected marching orders by his mother: he's to leave his military career and marry Mei Changsu, an eighteen-years-old maiden who claims to be a daughter of his mother's old friend, mysterious Mei Shinan. Jingyan is furious, but he's too filial a son to disobey his mother... (absolutely fascinating canon divergent AU, 9.5k)

The Untamed:
life after life, time after time. Summary: She activated the talisman. Garbled words rushed past her ears, as meaningless as burbling water. Light flashed against her closed eyelids. Her body grew heavy, like something was tugging her down. And then, as abruptly as it began, it stopped, and she felt washed clean, and full, and comfortable.

She opened her eyes.

She stood in her home, the supervisory office Wen Ruohan had granted her. She wore her red silks and her face powder, and she didn't have a single fleck of dirt on her. (Interesting time travel AU, 8.8k)

1 Magic Knight Rayearth Rec

[ladygriddlebone]

touch-and-go by down
Caldina/LaFarga, 921 words, rated T
I very much enjoyed this cute, fluffy, and funny take on Caldina trying to get closer to LaFarga. I especially liked the character voices in this one. The situation and their takes on how it should be resolved felt really true to both Caldina and LaFarga. I needed some tooth-rotting fluff (and lighthearted silliness) lately, and this absolutely delivered.
