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

NB: Next week's post will go up on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8TH instead of Thursday.

* Untitled SUGA portrait by lv_BnTn - Super cute piece inspired by Yoongi's fit in the "SWIM Performance MV".

* 🦁🐹🐰 by anoyonnari - Adorbs 4-panel comic based on the OT7 late summer livestream in which Jin was (happily) manhandled.

* Finally Joon by ONLYNAMJ00N - Gorgeous watercolor portrait of 2026!RM

* I think that's a good attitude by sayuteatime - Mildly NSFW-y piece abt Jimin making sure RM's subby tendencies are taken care of . . . (There's no nudity, but the image IS somewhat suggestive.)

* Swim, swim by sukima_yokai - Sailor!BTS spending some time in the ocean. Neat!

Some fanart from tumblr from me today:
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
- He’s just too cool to not draw him, okay?… (Roy and Riza with neat fire affect)

MDZS/Untamed
- Visitor (gentle and touching art of a-yuan and LWJ when LWJ was recovering after the whipping)

Merlin
- Something eternal (gorgeous)
- Merlin and Gwen (love the depth B&W adds to this)
- Emrys: The Greatest Sorcerer; The Biggest Liar (love the dual look of this)
- Fuck You Kilgharrah! (Merlin's only yelling what most of us were thinking at various points during this show, 2 part comic)

and, while not exactly a fandom, fannish at least:
Happy 15th birthday to Nyan Cat! (the original animation and a cake for it, drawn by its original artist)

Summary:

Shane finds out on Twitter.

Not from a lawyer or a teammate or even one of the journalists who've been calling nonstop since the FanMail video went viral. He finds out at 6:47 am, still in bed, that Russia is coming for Ilya. Propaganda charges. Passport revocation. Return to the Russian Federation required.

What follows is weeks of watching everything fall apart. Ilya's career. Their safety. The system that was supposed to protect them. Shane keeps playing while Ilya can't. The lawyers file paperwork and say to wait. Montreal demands silence.

Shane faces a choice: keep his head down and trust the process, or burn down his career and force the world to pay attention.

He chooses fire.

Summary:

The problem is, no one knows how to market Ilya Rozanov's (in his own words) sexy Euro masculinity to an audience of white straight men.

He needs the best. And if it happens to be his secret lover’s mother who despises his very existence, so be it.
