Community Recs Post

[snickfic]

Hi, all! In case you missed it, we have a week of Rectember themes here.

And for those of you who have unthemed recs you'd like to share, here is our weekly community recs post! Every Thursday, we have a post 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, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

My usual batch of BTS rec. ;D

* pick and choose me by Miralana (RM/Jimin, 6.2k words)

Omega!RM is settling in a new town as a part-time librarian. He strikes a simpatico with a charming Alpha!Jimin. But, at least, he is steering clear of the Pack Alpha's younger brother...or is he?

This is a cute A/B/O non-Idol story with interesting roles for the BTS guys. There is a lot of heart despite the story's length.


* the way the water flows by sharpa (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi, 7k words)

An extra chill Mundane AU in which Seokjin trains potential idols while Yoongi has a YouTube channel. They've been together for a while.

The whole thing is more of a "A Day in the Life" AU that has a few canonical details thrown in. I really enjoyed the intimacy between Seokjin and Yoongi while they hung out, have some fun in bed or reminisced about their relationship. Oh, and Yoongi is a transgender man.


* Many the miles by yoonluun (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi, 2.7k, Explicit)

Seokjin and Yoongi have some naughty fun while traveling by train. They're married. Also, Yoongi is a transgender man. This fic features cock warming and consensual somnophillia done in an incredibly good way.

It's the kind of Porn With Feelings story that leaves you feeling warmed up when you need it most.


* It's You I've Been Looking For by pansexuall (Teen, Taehyung/Jimin, 24.2k)

A fluffy Mundane + College AU in which transgender woman Tae is both amused and annoyed that her friends keep talking about nonbinary Jimin. Time stops when they finally meet.

This is the perfect story for when you are in the mood for something mellow/warm/SOFTE. Jimin and Tae are too adorable for words

when it's cold outside by shrdmdnssftw (Mature, Seokin/Yoongi, 10.3k)

Another Mundane AU (what can I say? I was in a mood, LOL), this time with a sprinkling of magical realism. The development of Seokjin and Yoongi's relationship from acquaintances into something else was nice to see.

I also liked the way the rest of the ensemble interacted and the seemingly "random" meteorological occurrences. ;)

awakened by touch by jhoom
Word Count: 5135 words
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: It starts as a simple offer of a foot massage after a hard day. Nicolo wishes every day would be so rough, if only so he can feel Yusuf's touch again.
Reccer's Note: Historical Yusuf/Nicolo, set after they stop trying to kill each other. A touch starved virgin Nicolo, Yusuf trying to "take care of him", and some miscommunication. It is basically PWP, but porn with feelings, very well written.

Haven't read as much this week, so there's only three Leverage recs, with no particular theme:

The Leverage Age Play AU No One Asked For by celestialskiff (23750 words)
This is an AU series where littles exist and Parker is a little - and it features non-sexual age play (which I guess works for the uncommon kink theme this week, lol). I had never even heard of this particular AU type, and while it's definitely not my kink, I wasn't squicked by it and found these stories to be very well-written and enjoyable.

The Out of this World Job (Or, Per Furtum Ad Astra) by pathera (7293 words)
Eliot, Hardison, and Parker - In SPAAAAAAACE. It somehow really works. Tagged OT3, but platonic enough to work if you're not into the OT3 as romantic/sexual (like me), though there's some Hardison/Parker hints for sure. Written for this playlist with cover art and liner notes.

What Makes Us...Us by Telaryn (1668 words)
A lovely Eliot/Parker fic set between S1 and S2.
