Community Recs Post! (And Rectember comments)

[snickfic]

Hey all! First, I just want to give a huge shout out to everyone who participated in Rectember. Thank you to all the people who recced, the people who commented on the recs posts, and the people who followed the recs and found new fanworks to enjoy. If you didn't get around to posting all the recs you intended, never fear, themed recs are always welcome to be posted to the comm at any time, no excuse necessary. :) And if you want to look at the themes again, you can find them all here.

I'm just really pleased to see so many folks get a little more comfortable with posting recs here. I saw a lot of new names, yay. Now that you're in the habit, feel free to post recs to the comm anytime. ;) If you have a theme of your own or just a single rec to share, you are always welcome to post them to the comm!

I will probably do a pop-up recs week every few months, just for something different. If you really liked that style of reccing and would like to do it more often, you should check out fancake, a reccing comm that has a theme every month.

In the meantime, here is our community recs post! Every Thursday, we 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 to make posts of your own, 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.

Untamed/MDZS fics that hopefully haven't been recced here before:

and autumn comes when you're not yet done by tired. Summary snippet: in which Lan Sizhui is forced to stay in Lotus Pier for three weeks, and saves Jiang Cheng in more ways than one. Turns out stab wounds heal faster than 16 years of regret. (wonderful Jiang Cheng becoming an uncle to Sizhui fic) 36k

shades of grey by cl410.
Summary: This was why he didn’t like to leave the Unclean Realm, Nie Mingjue thought with dismay. Guileless dark eyes blinked up at him, tiny hands clutching at his robes. Or: Nie Mingjue comes across Wei Wuxian before Jiang Fengmian, and decides Nie Huaisang could use a friend. (excellent AU with WWX still following the familiar canon path, but for very different reasons and the interplay between him and the Nie brothers is wonderful) 57k

A Sick Thought by nirejseki.
Summary snippet: “It’s not wrong if you write it down,” Mo Xuanyu muttered to himself like a mantra as he scribbled down a rough explanation of what he was going to do. “If you write it down, it’s just an experiment, and that makes it okay.” (Hilarious fic where the summoning spell goes a little wrong and WWX winds up inhabiting a cat) 10k

scatter and sunder by silversshadow
Summary: When Wei Wuxian dies at the Burial Mounds the backlash tears his soul apart. The cultivation world is left to watch the pieces. (book canon AU where some deaths were misreported and when WWX destroys the seal it shatters his soul and for years fragments/ghosts/echoes of him at various stages in life appear throughout the cultivating world) 15k

Closer Than Eternity by Netrixie
Summary: Wei Ying just wants to graduate, figure out what he's doing with his life, and make sure there's a Starbucks within twenty feet of him at all times. It would be a lot easier to accomplish if he wasn't being stared at by worryingly familiar golden eyes every time he opened up his social media accounts... In a world where immortals keep to themselves, one of them has decided to let himself be seen. (Reincarnation/Immortal cultivation fic with WWX discovering things) 26k
