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/fics/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

Two art recs from the recently revealed Art Heist Exchange (wherein participants exchange art–and art styles). There's only 12 works and all are great. The whole collection is here. But I especially wanted to rec:

Cyborg (original work of a cyborg with the absolutely most amazing expression on her face)

[FANART] Overdrive (a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Anime) work, which is a fandom I don't know, but the character is striking, especially with the color composition and background.)

And one MDZS/The Untamed fic rec that I absolutely loved:

The Shade of Old Trees Kryal (363k)
Summary: They called the man in the ice Yiling Laozu, after a folk hero associated with the town in the foothills of the mountains where he was found. No one expected him to be alive! (After updating each week for close to 6 months, this fic is finally finished and I'm thrilled to rec it. It's an incredibly well thought out story of what would happen if the frozen body a bunch of modern day scientists had planned to thaw and study turned out to be alive. WWX's history in this is slightly different than canon's (as many of the characters like Wen Qing and LWJ are modern day characters rather then ones from the past) and the changes made to his past to fit that are interesting and sensible. And the various reactions from everyone in the present works very well too. Absolutely an excellent read and while quite long, the ao3 word count is deceptive since often detailed author's notes are included in each chapter since they were too long for the end notes)

Oh, that sounds like a fascinating exchange! Also, that first piece was really good! Thank you for reccing it and the rest of the fanart. :D
