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/fancrafts/fanarts/other kinds of fanwork/fanvids/podfics 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

Groovilicious BTS fanworks. ✪ ω ✪

[glitteryv]

FANART

* Our Muse by rontansomari - Gorgeous Art Deco-style Jimin portrait based on his album MUSE.

* them! by findingkii - BTS wearing skirts. The way the artist paired up each look to every individual member was really cool.

* practice by nukames - A quiet moment between Jungkook and Jimin and Jimin's guitar.



FIC

* paved with by go_gentle (Explicit, Taehyung/Jimin, 27.8k) - Non-Idol AU in which Jimin is a junior lawyer and V is a sex worker. I have to admit that I was a bit shooketh by Jimin's first impression of V as well as HELLA STRESSED abt his work life.

THAT SAID, I really liked how this author worked their public personas (Jimin's workaholic and perfectionist tendencies, V's gregarious nature) into the story. LOVED seeing the rest of the Tannies too. AND was near tears at the end (which was a happy one, btw).

I gotta add some Trigger/Content warnings

for

there's a lot of socially acceptable yet gross behavior from all of Jimin's superiors/bosses. Also at some point, Jimin notices that V's been hurt by other clients. NOTHING is explicitly depicted, but the dialogue makes it clear that some of V's clients are physically abusive.

* lost in amazement by loquaciousEscapist (Rated Teen, RM/Yoongi, 10k) College AU + Rivals to Friends to Lovers in which RM and Yoongi despise each other when they take a PhD level philosophy class. I have to second the author's tag of "gross romantization of postgraduate studies", hahah. All in all, it was a good time.

Aww, Death & cats, so great!

Loved both the Sherlock Holmes art too, gosh. And I don't really know the fandom, but I love seeing fannish crochet - that one was really cool. Thank you for so many tasty art recs!

Cool rec is cool! :D

Pokemon Fanart

[jellyfishlover]

in the pokemon universe, i thought it might be cute if the '@' symbol were called 'the mew' or 'mew symbol' -- A very cute comic about the @ symbol, featuring Bill, Prof. Oak, Green, and the Johto trio!

"Happy June Yellow truthers" - a very cute drawing of Yellow from Pokespe holding a nonbinary flag!

Re: Pokemon Fanart

[falkner]

Thank you for the great recs! I will now make it my life mission to refer to @ as the mew symbol to anybody I know who knows Pokémon.

Re: Pokemon Fanart

[jellyfishlover]

I'm glad you enjoyed them!! :D

Re: Pokemon Fanart

[glitteryv]

Such cute recs! :DDDD

[seerofrage]

Just the one art rec, Pokémon: Decidueye by 15355451wer; these are cool! Love the style and designs. <3

[jellyfishlover]

Woah, they do look super cool! Thanks for rec-ing this! :D

[seerofrage]

Glad you enjoy too! :D

[glitteryv]

This week I've mostly read dark fics, focused on unhealthy and toxic romantic/sexual relationships. One was a fascinating study of Bruce's inappropriate relationships with Dick, Jason, and Tim and his guilt and excuses. There're also two fantastic Bruce/Jason fics, exploring their complicated relationship and history. Additionally, I've found an amazing post-Dark Crisis enemies to lovers Slade/Dick fic and a funny relationship reveal Slade/Jason fic. Apart from that, we also have a Damian/Dick relationship study with trans Damian and a recurring motif of blood. And the last rec is a spectacular long canon divergent one-shot centered on Cass/Rose and their relationships with their fathers. Hope you enjoy the recs <3 Tumblr link.

[glitteryv]

Thank you for your rec.

My life has been so busy, I missed last week. Making up for it with an absolutely beautiful one here:

is this sadness or is this grief, for all the years i lost? by Anonymous (1292 words)
A lovely Nate & Parker fic, with Nate acting parental in the best way. *sniff*

[glitteryv]

Excellent fic rec is excellent. :D
