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

BTS goodies for the win! (●'◡'●)

FANART

* Come on wing! by kaseystitches - Cute needlepoint work based on Jimin's repeated phrase during his and BTS' guest appearance in Hot Ones.

* Hooligan 🐯🐰🙌 by Runmi134340 - Amazing portrait of V and Jungkook wearing their leather hoods. Excellent use of shading and highlights too.

* THE JIMIN: God of War by _monjm - Gorgeous piece that uses digital paintbrush effects to recreate a fierce!Jimin. I love that his fit is the same one as the one he wears during the start of the concerts.

* gotta be careful by 94PIAN_ - (throwing a warning for implied mpreg) Pouty!Jungkook being comforted by Yoongi is too adorable for words, really.

* hooligan by mintdr_eam - Good collage of the MV.

* Short video of an ARMY creating an ARIRANG logo coat by jtotheizelle - Loved seeing the process from selecting the fabrics to the final coat.


FIC

* A Catch by literarygarden (Rated Gen, Jimin/Taehyung, background Jin/Yoongi, 4.2K) - Non-Idol AU in which they meet at a club and then Taehyung starts texting Jimin abt fish. LOVED this one so much. If you like Taehyung at his weirdest, this might be for you.

A rec for a really long MDZS/Untamed fic from me today!

A Fork in the Road by Bodldops (142k)
Summary: With a small change, Wei Wuxian has a chance to reconsider his stance. That change leads to others. The most important words you can say, after all, are thank you, and I am sorry. It is better to say them earlier, than later through tears. (very excited that this fic I've been following for ages just posted its final chapter, it's an interesting turn-left AU where canon events shift post WWX punching JZN in Cloud Recessess. FYI contains some Jiang, especially Madam Yu, bashing)

Two BTS fic recs...

[hindsightseeing]

Specifically, two recs for BTS Hunger Games AUs, since I'm apparently in a very specific spiral right now.

give them a show by Recarmdra: Rated M, 91k, Jimin/Jungkook, with some really nice background stuff with Jin and Yoongi.
Wherein Jimin is a hardened Career from District 1, Jungkook is a soft boy from District 7, and love conquers all.

hind & hare by maledict: Rated M, 4k, Jungkook-centric, some Jungkook/Namjoon, brief appearances from the others.
A very sad, beautifully written piece exploring Jungkook's experiences. First part of a series, but I haven't read the second one yet.

Chibi Merlin and Arthur -- both cute and sad. https://www.tumblr.com/faustophilia/806379850284892160

I've been reigniting my love of Trigun by watching Stampede/Stargaze for the first time and this fic is really lovely:

This World is made of Love and Pe(ace)! by Shadsie

Summary: Prompt-fills for "Love and Pe(ace)" - Trigun Ace Week 2026.

Theme: Trope Subversion. An exploration of a series of tropes usually found in romantic and erotic fanfiction applied to asexual interpretations. Seven stories. All universes and mixed universes.

1. Purpose-Driven Machines (Classic Trigun 1998)
2. A Sacred Form (Trigun Maximum)
3. Let's Get (Meta)physical - (Any / All / Trigun-Soup)
4. Hurt Again, Comforted Again (Trigun Stampede and Stargaze)
5. Scrub a Dub, Two Men in a Tub (Trigun Maximum)
6. Salacious Literature (Trigun-Soup, mostly Trigun Maximum with some Stampede/Stargaze minor reference)
7. Lookin' Great ('98 or Trigun Maximum)

(Archive warning apply, but they are moreso allusions than anything on-screen.)
