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 fics/fanarts/fanvids/fancrafts/podfics/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

*Yup, this week's post is going up a whole day early as I'll be AFK until v. late tomorrow afternoon. 😅

I didn't have a lot of time for reading this week so only one rec from me, MDZS/The Untamed as usual:

The inherent romanticism of hiding a body together by Aki_no_hikari (4k)
Summary: Lan Zhan finds true love in the middle of a dark forest, burying a body. He offers to help, after all, he has experience on the matter. (dark lwj love at first sight modern AU that is oddly sweet, despite the premise)

Specific spotlights to follow, but a general recommendation to any monster-lovers out there for SpaceCadetGlow's ongoing Kraken and Hen 'Verse (Our Flag Means Death, Izzy Hands/Benjamin Hornigold, rated E, four stories with a cumulative 35,256 words to date).

It features actual-kraken Hornigold—an eldritch creature who can shift between full kraken and human disguise with a hybrid shape in between—and a besotted young Izzy who happily learns a great deal about oviposition along the way. Fun for any OFMD Goldenboy fans, but also reads well canon-blind for anyone who's just here for the tentacles.

Eldrich beings are always fun. Anyways, thank you for reccing this story. :D

CELEBRATING 11 YEARS OF BTS WITH A FANART LINKSPAM!!! (❤ ω ❤)

[glitteryv]

With a few pieces also \o/ Jin's discharge from the military. IT'S A DOUBLE PARTYYYYYYY, Y'ALL!!!


* Hold on--I fixed it 🥹💜
by __jiau - A sweet piece based on the NEWEST OT7 selca posted after Jin finished his livestream after returning to civilian life. ;__;

* people say the world has changed, but thankfully, between you and me, nothing’s changed by bakbakjimin - What a fun portrait of all 7 members + Kim Yeontan (V's pomeranian) at the BTS dance practice floor. I love the detail of each member wearing their respective fits from their MVs or concerts.

* Untitled sewing art by checkonethree - EXTREMELY cool mini-set of a photoframe surrounded by mini-heart pillows made of some kind of purple fabric and seven different 7s. Each one being an exact replica of what every member got inked on different parts of their body.

* 💜 BTS ⟭⟬ANNIVERSARY 💜 by nano16483850 - ANOTHER OT7 during Chapter 2 collage. NGL, I love that what could've been an extremely difficult time for ARMYs ended up being a moment of even more creativity, reconnections, and reaffirmations that le Bangtan Sonyeondan is a one in a million group. ;__;

* spring day will come again by fruitybtsarts - A good hat tip to Young Forever era. I dig the color palette too.

* Untitled Jin portrait by jin1204_tuna - Disarmingly cute piece featuring Jin, Wooteo, and RJ. UwU to the MAX.

* Welcome Home by shogetsu9339 - Adorbs 4-panel comic abt Jin's return using custom dolls.
