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

Some tumblr art recs from me today:

Bridgerton
- Sophie at the ball (gorgeous)

Doctor Who
- Sillies (cute doodle of Ten and Thirteen interacting)

Merlin
- Happy Valentine's Day!! (adorable modern!au doodle)
- I once read a fanfic with a modern AU where Arthur is a restorer. Now I think about it all the time (I don't think I've read that fic but I really like this art for it)

Under the Skin (TV)
- Cuddle (adorable Du Cheng hugging Shen Yi and settling in Shen Yi's lap)
- uno reverse of the cuddle (so gentle and sweet of the two in reversed positions)

Great Merlin art recs! I wish they'd linked to that Arthur as restorer fic because I am intrigued!

Poking about in the comments of the art, I found the link. Apparently it was inspired by this fic, that is both incomplete and in Russian, unfortunately: https://archiveofourown.org/works/57758878

Yoongi with Seoltang Because, yes to MOAR Tang fanart!!!

Untitled Yoongi and Seoltang piece by shogetsu9339 - Inspired by one of the photos from the March 2026 of GQ. Only, this time, with Tang as a surprise guest, LOL.

Untitled Tang portrait by knapris - As part of the promotions for Album of the Year ARIRANG (dropping March 20th!), the BTS IG account posted a reel featuring the members with a red and white ribbon that read "What is your love song?". CANONICALLY, Yoongi's contribution was a photo of Tang wearing a fancy and ruffled collar. This is a reinterpretation of it with Tang's name replacing the words. SO CUTE!

Dressed-up Tan by m__206 - This is possibly what happened when Yoongi took Tang's pic.

Untitled piece by __jlau - This is also how Yoongi took that pic of Tang in the bathroom sink (that he later posted alongside other Tang pics on IG). ;___; I lurve the colors and style of this fanart, NGL.


Valentine's Day happened last weekend

🍫❤🌹 by mowaaa - Only the BESTEST VIBES when ultra romantic!RM is wooing his "I prefer to be a clown rather than talk abt feelings" beau, one Kim Seojin. Heheh.

Happy Valentine's Day by Meliminart - Syrupy sweet 2-panel comic of Jimin and Jungkook being adorable with each other.


Hobi's Birthday!!! was yesterday. He's now THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD! Hobi's an 👴🏽, HAHAHAHAAH.

Happy Hobi Day!! by TAT86640504 - A squirrel-themed piece that's super cute.

💚🐿️🌿🤍🌱🌄💫 by eminor_95 - Hobi and Mang!

🐿️💜🎂 by jimjin5199 - A fantastic landscape piece that shows many of the things that Hobi's done circa Chapter 2. Love the style.

SOPE by lv_BnTn - So, one of the IG stories that Hobi posted was this one in which some of the staff sang HBD to him in one of the BTS rooms at Hybe. That was already delightful enough. What made it INTERESSSSSSSSTING was seeing Yoongi in the background kinda grumbling that this was the THIRD TIME he'd to sing HBD to Hobi (so far) . . . and then joining in song, hahah.

Untitled Hobi fanart by Orchid at Bluesky - Hobi getting wooed by the 6 Tannies has a few Easter eggs for ARMYs and a ton of sweetness for locals too. :DDDD

Untitled Crochet Doll by knity_knoty - Hobi circa his HotS tour era. UwU to the max!

I think this fic was recced here before but I finally got around to reading it and also think it's a great example of what Yuletide is about:

Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death by Charlotte_Stant
Summary:
The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.
