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 podfics/fanarts/fics/fancrafts/fanvids/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.

* Yeah, this post is going up abt 12-hrs early due to me being unexpectedly afk all day tomorrow. Again. 🥲. Regular Thursday posting will resume next week for realsies!

Switching it up this one time with BTS and Le Sserafim recs! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠

FANART

* Kisses for Hobi by sopedoods - A six-panel collection of Hobi receiving smooches from the rest of the group.


FIC

* she's cheer captain and i'm on the bleachers by Rubylove(Rated Teen, Yoongi/Jimin, 6.8k) - A cute College AU in which Yoonji has a raging crush on Jimin…


* This Sordid Place by theharrowing (Explicit, RM/Jungkook, 27.4k) - Non-Idol AU in which RM is single and, after much cajoling from established!Yoonjin, he activates his Grindr acct. Matches with a V. CONFIDENT (and horny) Jungkook...and, later on, with Taetae. Endgame ship is Namkook. Pretty funny and hot.

* Boom by halotolerant (Rated Mature, Kim Chaewon/Huh Yunjin, 1.7k) - What a neat Le Sserafim x BTVS crossover! I loved all the nods to K-Pop canon intermeshed with the Watcher/Slayer dynamic!

* Another Door Slightly Ajar by spacewitchbot (Rated Teen, Kim Chaewon/Huh Yunjin, 1.8k) - A super groovycakes Magical AU in which Le Sserafim are witches in a corporate world. I loved the nods to the Unforgiven era (including the fic's title) and the cute moments between Yunjin and the rest of the members. Especially Chaewon.

Oh, wow, a fandom that (to me) feels like a blast of the past! Thank you for reccing this. :D

Gundam 0079 fanart

[jellyfishlover]

Here's some Gundam 0079 fanart (and a little of Gundam Origins, tangentially)

Various 0079 art -- I really like how the artist draws there faces, and the first drawing of Char and Garma is just really good! It has a very solid atmosphere!

Sayla and Char roleswap AU -- This au is so good and enticing! I really like how some of the dynamics change a bit with this swap! :D (and also Sayla in Char's outfit is just plain amazing! XD )

Char and Garma art -- Very silly! XD

Re: Gundam 0079 fanart

[glitteryv]

Hooray for all of the fanart recs. :D

Three MDZS/Untamed AO3 recs from me today- two fic and one art

Fan Art of littledust's The Needle and the Nail by sylviamorris
Back in April I recced The Needle and the Nail, a fic about what if WQ didn't die when she turned herself into the Jins, and now there's gorgeous Wen Qing and Jiang Cheng artwork for it.

the fire and the forest by androids_fighting93 (15k)
Summary Snippet: Wei Wuxian doesn't die in the siege. (Interesting canon divergent fic where a not quite stable WWX rescues A-Yuan and then goes to find LWJ post-siege)

coop d'état by wolfsan11 (5k)
Summary Snippet: Or, Wei Wuxian finds himself the proud of owner of five chickens, while Lan Wangji defies the government (his uncle). (slightly silly but very sweet new post-series fic)

You're welcome! It's gorgeous :'D

MCU

[musyc]

A tumblr fic from 2015 that I had saved as an HTML file for years. Have been going through my saved fics to see what's on AO3 and what's not, and happily this one has been transferred to there!

Steve Rogers: PR Disaster (4071 words) by idiopathicsmile
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Captain America (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Steve Rogers
Summary:

Interlude: The Story of Steve “Walking PR Nightmare” Rogers, and How For a Short While He Single-Handedly Destroyed the Emotional Health of Eva Laura Ortiz, His Now Ex-Publicist

(Throwback Thursday to that time in 2015 when I decided to just really lean into my incredibly self-indulgent headcanons about Steve Rogers, his politics, and kind of his whole deal. Occasionally people ask why this isn't on AO3 so here it is! Seven-ish years later. I aim to please. Eventually.)

Re: MCU

[glitteryv]

Ah, that's deffo a joyful thing! I love seeing commentfic (circa LJ days) as well as Tumblr fics getting posted over there. Thanks for reccing this. :D

[doranwen]

Another quick Leverage rec:

Not Quite A Good Man by xkcdBlackHat (460 words)
A brief but VERY good AU that has Sterling as the one whose child died because of IYS's policy.

[glitteryv]

Oh, that sounds interesting! Thank you for reccing it. :D

Two The Untamed/MDZS fic tecs

[sunshine304]

First, the amazing gift fic I got for fandomtrees:

Like Water on Parched Earth by lirazel
Wangxian, ~ 23k, E-rated, post-canon, getting together, sex curse
After a night hunt, Lan Wangji asks for two rooms at the inn. And then things go from bad to worse.


And another one that got posted yesterday:

Every Time You Close Your Eyes by brooklinegirl
WangXian, ~ 38k, E-rated, Modern AU, time loop, temporary character death, angst with a happy ending
"We're caught in a time loop," Lan Zhan says. "This is the fifth iteration." There's a flash in his brain, a quick series of images, Wei Ying's lifeless eyes staring past him, over, and over, and over again. "It starts like this every time. It ends with you dead. Then it resets itself."

Re: Two The Untamed/MDZS fic tecs

[glitteryv]
