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

13 fanarts to celebrate BTS' anniversary! 😎🥰🥳🎈🎉🎊

[glitteryv]

* Seokjin abs by jjinniies - To love Jin is to know that he's gonna show as little skin as possible (which is fine as long as it's his decision. I'm just pointing this out for a v. specific reason here). Meaning that ANY display of skin from Jin will give EVERYONE the vapors. Triply so when it's his (well-defined) abs and tiny!waist. Thus here's this piece abt a random moment when such a thing happened, heheh.

* ari ari by ygpjmn - Sometimes, a simple style amplifies the cool factor. Such as in this "Hooligan" MV-inspired piece.

* Untitled BTS piece by circadraws - I love this nature-heavy and soft approach to celebrating BTS' anniversary.

* Happy Festa by niwisdoodsles - What can be cuter than 2026!BTS wearing their debut fits? ;__;

* Untitled OT7 portrait by lynahcz - Speaking of adorability, here's a version of one of the 2026 Family Photos.

* You are brighter than the sun by artemy_jpg - Inspired by their Act 1 fits, here's BTS with their sweetest smiles ever. UwU.

* Untitled OT7 piece by sushida_zo - Another Act 1 fit? YES, MOAR ACT 1 (concert) fits fanart!!!

* Congratulations by junguccivliton7 -This one works on two layers: it's got BTS and BT21 getting ready to head to a party AND it also tips its hat to clips (posted by the members themselves) of the Tannies driving around certain venues on golf carts. Awww!

* thirteen years together by ygmewz - Yet another Family Photo. This time featuring 2013 and 2026 BTS. 😭😍

* BTS 13th Congratulations by goodmorningfull - Quite the dramatic piece! I like the use of black, white, gray, and teal here.

* Happy 613 by J_DTAPPD - A good rendering of one of the 2026 Family Photos.

* Happy Birthday BTS by meito_0613 - OT7 and their red string of fate. That's all.

* I love BTS now and always! by 757Bori - One final Family Photo that features both debut!era as well as 2026!BTS seated side by side. Looking at this fills my heart with so much joy, NGL.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov
Characters: Various Hockey Player OMCs, Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Scott Hunter (Game Changers), Ottawa Centaurs Team Ensemble (Game Changers)
Additional Tags: POV Outsider, Texting, Set During Book 6: The Long Game (Game Changers), Spoilers for Book 6: The Long Game (Game Changers), we are in the minds of straight male hockey players here so there is a greater than average dose of homophobia racism and misogyny, but i promise that some of our more familiar friends show up too
Summary:

Across the NHL, five players wake up to the news of the FanMail video. There are a lot of group chats, some bad advice, a team who just wants to find their captain, a misunderstanding about how a green screen works and the kind of life-changing news that's too big to be watched on a small screen.

Additional Tags: Mixed Media, Social Media, post-canon: the long game, shane and ilya get tired of being asked about their relationship, so they do one (1) interview about it, Shane Hollander Walks Ilya Rozanov Like A Dog, Ilya Rozanov Loves Shane Hollander, Shane Hollander Loves Ilya Rozanov, Media Trained Shane Hollander, Media Trained Against His Will Ilya Rozanov, Eating Disorder (Orthorexia), author fucking hates AI and would rather die than let it into her writing, author just enjoys em dashes, First Husbands of Hockey, shane hollander is a PWHL enjoyer
Series: Part 1 of Sweet Music Playing in the Dark
Summary:

It's Shane Hollander's first season in Ottawa, and the whole Centaurs roster is playing better than they ever have. So why won't the press focus on that? Why do he and Ilya keep having to answer questions about their marriage, and not get to talk about the incredible start to the season that their team is having? Maybe if they do one podcast, with hosts who are normal people, they can just tell their whole story and focus on bringing the Stanley Cup to Ottawa.

or, Shane and Ilya do a sports podcast run by lesbians for members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the internet reacts.
