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/fancrafts/podfics/fics/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.

[glitteryv]

* Untitled SUGA portrait by jjooSG93 - BREATHTAKING

* Action Romance? by - Mini-comic inspired by Yoongi saying he'd prefer to work in an action movie vs. a romantic one. I love the twist in this fanart.

* bday boy by sarbidraws - V. cool collage of many things related to Yoongi.

* Untitled RM/Yoongi fanart by tinyguki - Cute piece inspired by a (sadly) now-deleted post from RM's Instagram. Featuring two kitties, hehehh.

* Untitled Yoongi portrait by jjooSG93- Gorgeous watercolor from the "Haegeum" MV.

* so proud of our kitten by lynahcz - 2024!Yoongi meeting 2013!Yoongi. So many feelings. ;___;

* don't regret the past or fear the future, you idiot by syublight - Super cool blend of Yoongi during tour and the VCRs that were part of it.

Recs from brand new works (from last week or so), all MDZS/The Untamed:

one piece of art from the Five Figure Fanwork Exchange (creators still anonymous)
- Wen Ning (just gorgeous)

and two fics:
Practical Mythology by metisket (17.5k)
Summary: The Yiling Patriarch is a living legend—a terrifying, ancient force of nature, dispensing punishment or reward with implacable, indifferent fairness. Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is a weird but oddly charming guy who wanders around the cultivation world making fun of people's art and mooching food from sect leaders. It really upsets people to find out that they're the same person. (hilarious brand new time travel AU)

The Straightest Path by meyari (30k)
Summary: The moment of Xiongzhang’s death would live forever in Lan Zhan’s mind. He’d turned towards Lan Zhan, qiankun pouch holding the library in his hands. Then he’d gasped as arrows flew towards them both in a hail no one could survive. (absolutely brutal opening to this brand new canon divergent AU as the burning of the Cloud Recesses goes very differently, but then Lan Wangji takes charge and does so amazingly)

I just read a very cool Hermitcraft fic:
INCOMING MESSAGE - COMM RECORDS by writing_and_worrying
55k, WIP
"A mystery on Hermitcraft told through audio logs" - or, a looming apocalypse on five different worlds at once and the people desperately trying to reach through the multiverse to find a way to stop it and being willing to pay a high price. Excellent slowly revealed angst.

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

Izzy Gets Reverse Big Banged by Vee (Our Flag Means Death, Modern AU, Izzy Hands/Lucius Spriggs, rated M, 3k words to date) is currently up to 1/? chapters of Izzy and Lucius sharing a fandom.

The author's summary:

Voyage Unknown was a small show with no press at launch that became an internet sensation. The very first Reverse Big Bang is underway and fanfic writer Izzy knows they'll be slim pickings for his niche ship. Lucky for him there's a brand new artist in the fandom.

The canon-within-a-canon conceit and execution here is brilliant, with the reader already learning so much about who Izzy and Lucius are in this universe through the doubly fictitious Voyage Unknown characters and ship they're into. Very charming, funny, and compelling so far, and I can't wait to read more of it.

Couple of art recs, Jujutsu Kaisen and Haikyuu!!

JJK
.Domestic cat Gojou, Gojou/Fushiguro by ohhottt; this is so cute omg, I love how happy Gojou looks. <3

HQ!!
.Kuroo/Kenma by xianmeng44; they both look great, I love Kenma's cat ears and the blood splatter! :D

BTS AUs, fusion-style

The Same Sky by averytree and NamjoonProblem
E, 194K, Namjoon/Jin and Hoseok/Jimin with some other smaller pairings. Firefly AU that you don't need to know Firefly to follow. Warnings in the tags and chapter notes.
It’s 2512, but just because the war for independence is over doesn’t mean the dream is dead-- and just because Namjoon and Yoongi fought on the losing side doesn’t mean it was the wrong one. The Verse is full of folks crushed by the Alliance, so they buy a ship, build a crew, and start helping, one job at a time, because though they’re scattered across the Verse, they’re all under the same sky.
--OR--
No matter the universe, Bangtan will find each other and learn about dreams, love, and found family.

you and i both know (that the ghost is you) by harpervalleypta
M, 13K, Namjoon/Jungkook, Avengers AU. Archive Warning: Graphic Depictions of Violence (additional warnings in tags).

One additional spoilery warning:

One member of the team is shot but not fatally.

Namjoon is a haunted house. Jungkook is the ghost that haunts him.
Or, a (very) loose retelling of Jungkook as the Winter Soldier.

A VERY belated Leverage rec:

A Furry Friend (Or Four) by ziazippy5379 (1058 words)
A cute little fic wherein Parker finds a cat.


And a LOTR rec for fic that I stumbled across, and which brought tears to my eyes:

Worm Tamer by PazithiGallifreya (105,489 words)
A redemption AU: What if Gríma had accepted Frodo's offer instead of killing Saruman?
