Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Yay, we've been a comm for a little over a week now, and have gotten some great recs from folks. Thank you so much for everyone who has contributed. <3 If you like having an active recs comm, please be sure to tell your friends! Word of mouth is how things happen here on DW.

Anyway, on to the recs post!

Every Thursday, we'll have a community recs 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, or if you're just shy. :)

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

One Ensemble Stars! rec, a short fluffy kuroshu fic~

and they were roommates by carsinoska
Kuro finds Shu sleeping in his bed and tries to move him back to Shu's own bed. But a sleepy Shu drags him into bed and they cuddle. That's it.

Set in !!, Spring.

Just saw this entertaining gifset by arthurspendragon, which captured some wonderful bits of "Merlin being his sasslord savage self."

Two The Untamed WIPs I really enjoy right now:

Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller, Jiang Cheng time-travel fix-it

cast your bitterness into the sea by Kilerkki, canon-divergent AU in which Jiang Cheng gets betrothed to the Wen matriarch

And robininthelabyrinth, nirejseki on AO3, has been posting a lot of very good MDZS fic recently.

[slightweasel]

Halo Effect - a 526k Downton Abbey series about Thomas Barrow. It's a canon divergent AU in which he makes some better decisions than in canon.

The first fic is 81k, the second is 445k. I do not ordinarily read 200k+ fics, so I am not entirely sure what prompted me to start this series. But it is incredible. I'm halfway through the 445k one and I could just. Roll around in it forever, honestly. I'm finding it so, so comforting (which may sound odd since it's about WWI, so I will also note that "comforting" to me tends to be more about delivery than content). I don't remember where I picked up this rec, whether it was here or on meme, but if it was here then thanks, whoever!! :DDDD

Thanks for the rec! At one point I intended to read this but forgot, so now it's safely bookmarked.

Everything in the list below is BTS-related. :DDDD

* This cassette tape collection (down to color-coding) for the first four solo mixtapes and the Persona EP by vmins gets me right in my early 80's childhood.


* Following with the cassette tape theme, vhopego created this really cool fanart that works in each of Agust D's songs from the D-2 mixtape that dropped a month ago. I love not only the retro look, but the overall effect of the tapes "stacked up".


* hobious has posted one of the most creative things I've seen in a long while: they did a cover edit of all 18 songs from Map of the Soul: 7, BTS's latest album, to celebrate this year's FESTA. The blend of the visual (with each tune getting a distinct look) and the actual music (a snippet of each song) is seamless and so amazing it could almost pass for official promo material.


* (TW for alcohol drinks) In honor of BangBangCon The Live (a streaming concert that happened 2 weeks ago), jmingelic came up with this list of 7 drinks paired up with a specific BTS member. It's a cheeky bit of fanwork, imo.


* (NSFW warning) Here are two different fanarts by thirtyandfour:

A mix of Rule 63 + selfcest fanart featuring Min Yoonji (Min Yoongi's, a.k.a. SUGA, female version from an episode of Run BTS)

AND

Another Rule 63 piece that's more NC-17. This time it's featuring NamKook

[gloss]

This piece of highly explicit fanart from heatficsummer exchange is absolutely incredible. M/M, X-rated and then some.

[glassesofjustice]

Humorous Harry Potter femslash ficlet:

This Hooch/McGonagall fic, Shacking Up, is only 601 words but it’s pure banterous delight and never ceases to put a smile on my face.

[frausorge]

What a fun piece! Thanks for the rec.
