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/fancrafts/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.

A rec-in-progress (aka a rec for an active WiP):

All the Apples on the Ground by SpaceCadetGlow (Our Flag Means Death, Izzy Hands/Calico Jack Rackham, Izzy Hands/Benjamin Hornigold, rated E, 53k words to date) is currently up to 8/? chapters of canon-era backstory with hurt/comfort, bonding, and secret relationships.

This is marked Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, but suffice to say the Izzy/Hornigold relationship (so far only partially glimpsed or understood by POV character Jack) exists in a dark place. When a young Jack is injured saving Hornigold's life during a raid, Hornigold repays him by lending him a young Izzy as nursemaid and general provider of whatever other 'comfort' Jack wants for the course of his recovery. Jack gets to know Izzy better and feelings start to be caught, leading to things getting complicated as their time together grows short. So far, this is one of those stories that balances whump and realism just right for me, and it features a very likeable Jack at a time before all the harsher lessons of life could take their toll. Great writing, and a real sense of time and place on the ship.
