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 fanart/fics/podfics/fancrafts/fanvids/other kinds of fanworks 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.

BTS fanworks of awesomeness! 🥰

FANART

* Slaying together for 14 years by agustbites - LOOOOVE this crossover between the RM from "Neva Play" and Agust D from "Haegum".

* A Jungkook vs. Jin mini-comic by kimberlyliperly - Super lulzy panels in which Jin is the Moon.

* Taejoon kitchen scene by trglvz - a morning domestic scene between Namjoon and Taehyung.

* Seokjin portrait by amvuui - What a cutie!

* Untitled Hobi portrait by hopestudio__ - Ultra pretty depiction of Day 3 of Hobi's tour. I love the shading and how it enhances the bedazzled jeans, hehehh.

* Untitled Hobi tour poster by MinaIsLate - So, the first outfit Hobi wears for his concert is head-to-toe red. The fit is v. luxe and impressive in such a way that a lot of folks equated it with the overall vibe of The Powerpuff Girls' villain HIM. #Accurate


FIC

* we still live and breath in the same place by duets (Rated Teen, Seokjin/Yoongi, 3.1k) - Future fic that deals with BTS going on hiatus (for enlistment purposes). It's a bit melancholy, but also full of love.

There's a bunch of exchanges that opened recently and are currently in their anon period. Here's two MDZS/Untamed fics from Alternate Universe 5k 2024 (au5k):

another chance (do i deserve it) (5k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian dies in one world and wakes up in another. He was called a genius—once. But the world he left behind had long since lost the magic that made cultivation possible. Talismans were all that remained, fading echoes of a past too distant to reclaim.

Now, he’s in a world where cultivation thrives, where power hums in the air, where everything he once studied in theory is real. Most terrifying of all, Jiang Cheng is here. Young, alive, standing at his side as if nothing had ever come between them. As if Wei Wuxian didn’t once walk away from him, believing it was the right thing to do. This time, he won’t.

But does he even deserve this second chance? (really interesting AU where talisman genius!WWX from a Modern-with-Cultivation world wakes up in book!verse MDZS and how he tries to cope)

And men say the sun and moon keep on moving (5k)
Summary: Lan Wangji runs into someone he used to know. Too bad he's the only one that thinks so. (Neat little modern superhero-esque AU)

(If interested, you can find more au5k works here and the other exchanges are the Five Figure Fanwork Exchange (fffx), found here, creators reveal March 8th; the High Adrenaline Exchange (highadrenalineexchange), works here, creators reveal March 16th)

Inuyasha
An Afternoon in the Shade by slothykins
Miroku/Sango, 1175 words, rated T
I'm always a sucker for takes on just how Miroku and Sango spent that afternoon while Inuyasha and Kagome were stuck dealing with the monkeys, and this is no exception. (I kind of wish canon had done it this way!)

Home at Last by slothykins
Miroku/Sango, 1115 words, rated M
There are so few stories about the lead-up to Miroku and Sango's wedding. This was fun and cute!

How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying
Worse Places to Be Buried by Lyssandra_Med
Davi/Tsav, 1631 words, rated E
There is a serious lack of fic for this book and this ship, but we DO have this story and it is lovely and fun smut for my favorite Dark Lord/buff orc lady ship.

Fantastic recs are fantastic. :D
