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 fancrafts/podfics/fics/fanarts/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.

Kicking off Yarch (a.k.a. BTS' SUGA birthday month) with some recs... ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

FANART

* bts and lee jieun by syublight - Four times IU has worked with and interviewed BTS.

* Cute R63 Yoonmin and the naughty version by ginminie - Super cool Yoonji and Jimin fanarts. Please note that the naughty version is full-on NSFW.

* Hawaii couple by inbloom - Adorable Yoongi/Taehyung piece.

* Catboy!Yoongi Portrait by Wingu_Moon - What it says on the tin. I love the vibrant colors.

* Catentino Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 by shogetsu9339 - Three illustrations of Yoongi alongside a whole bunch of kittens in a reinterpretation of his 2024 campaign for Valentino "The Narratives".

* this song is a haegeum! by milubee - SUCH A CUTE version of the stabby-happy AgustD from the "Haegeum" MV!


FIC

* Found and Loved by <lj user=NinjasWearSneakers site=archiveofourown.org) - (Explicit, Yoongi/Jungkook, 29.9k) - Omegaverse Non-Idol shifter AU in which Yoongi has remained in his wolf form but can't remember what has happened to him. Though wary, he is befriended by another shifter (Jungkook). Oh, and it also has platonic OT7. Now, this fic is abt 90% softe feels. The main themes are Yoongi healing, Jungkook helping him, and the rest of the Tannies being amazing. The remaining 10% does deal with mentions of Yoongi's abusive past + the event that resulted in him being in wolf form for over a year. None of that is pretty BUT it's also not graphically on-page. The story does tackle Yoongi's trama and PTSD in a way that isn't OTT, imo. The tags are pretty clear on the 10%.

I don't even go here, as they say, but this Baldur's Gate Astarion art grabbed me by the throat. Much like I assume Astarion would. XD

Oh wow, that's fabulous. I love it when artists share timelapses of their process.

It's so cool when a fanwork from a random fandom pulls you in, yeah. Thanks for reccing it. :D

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

Lonesome Town by disastershipblonde (Our Flag Means Death, 1950s AU, Izzy Hands/Benjamin Hornigold + Stede Bonnet/Izzy Hads, rated E, 5k words to date) is currently up to 2/? chapters of post-war hard times and genteel menace.

The author's summary:

It’s 1955. Izzy Hands is twenty-six years old and the dictionary definition of ‘hopeless’. Released from borstal three years prior, he’s spent his lonely freedom drifting around the country in search of casual work. The only thing keeping body and soul together is his love of clothes, the Edwardian-style Teddy Boy look of troublemakers and shifty lads with flick knives.

When a chance meeting brings the suave and dangerous Ben Hornigold into his life, Izzy embarks on his career as Borstal Boy, posing for dirty photos in Ben’s Soho studio. The pictures catch the attention of ‘Lucky’ Lord Bonnet, a wastrel gambler with a golden future he doesn’t want.

Ben has a plan. So does Lucky Bonnet. What could go wrong?

[glitteryv]

NGL, I kinda LOL'ed at the "genteel menace" bit. Anyhoo, thanks for reccing it. :D

[delphi]

Thanks for the post! Genteel menace is definitely my favourite kind of menace. :D
