Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

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. :)

(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.

A few more hopefully new to the comm Untamed/MDZS fics:

Heliocentric by Aki_no_hikari (AO3 locked) 13k
Summary snippet: Wen Qing dies, Wen Qing lives. A second chance to make things right. (Amazing Wen Qing time travel fix it)

this house is loved by ribena (AO3 locked) 15k
Summary: They say Wei Wuxian died in the first siege of the Burial Mounds. Thirteen years later, Lan Wangji stumbles upon a shrine for the god of forgotten things. (Slightly sad, or perhaps melancholic at least, but lovely)

Exposure Therapy by Lise (6k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian is terrified of dogs. Jin Ling would like to fix that. (very, very sweet and funny)

Standing Engagement by x_los (18k)
Summary: Lan Wangji believes he and Wei Wuxian are essentially engaged. While they search for his missing betrothed, he accidentally reveals as much to Jiang Wanyin. Now everyone in the cultivation world knows about the imminent marriage, except for Wei Wuxian himself. (a wonderful might-have-been with great reactions by everyone)

Wei Wuxian is Definitely Not Possessed by Kaizay (20k)
Summary: Three times Wei Wuxian attempts to behave and the three attempts to “exorcise the evil spirit that possessed him.” (Utterly hilarious, poor WWX!)

BTS goodies ahoy!

FANART

* Vampire!Jungkook and Witch!Jimin by tailsbee050 - A super cute and v. short comic that tips its hat to JK's love for snacks.


* Blond Taehyung by SIS28440660 - Although it's more implied than actual, I do like the overall unsettling vibe that is all over this piece. It's easy to associate the Taehyung in the art as a vampire, but he can easily be any other kind of monster in disguise.


* Vampire!Jimin by yelhsamoonchild A portrait of Vampire!Jimin - There is a kind of dreaminess in this piece that makes it v. pleasant to look at.


* Jungkook, Year 3045 by googiedit - A cyberpunk edit that winks both at present day!Jungkook, eboy extraordinaire, as well as a Jungkook of the future.


FICS

To Be So Lonely by rykus (Explicit, Seokjin/Jimin, 6k) - Nonbinary!Jimin has a crush on the owner of a local queer bar. I really enjoyed this small window into what queer club culture might be in South Korea. Also the slow-ish burn between Jin and Jimin, a shy-yet-interested type of circling around.


* but not for me by raviolijouster (Teen, Yoongi/Taehyung, 8.2k) - A College AU in which everyone seems to think (if not outright assumes) that Taehyung and Yoongi are in a committed relationship. This is a good example of the Failboats in Love trope. :D

A few Leverage recs again:

catch me if you can by bandwidthlimit (2366 words)
A Nate/Sophie fic set pre-series that I liked.

Bang, Bang, Bang. by WonderTwinC (491 words)
A great little ficlet focusing on the times Nate has been shot.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe by NienteZero (1878 words)
Outsider POV focusing on Eliot pre-series.

A BTVS fic that I recently enjoyed:

Even death is a shadow of forgetting by redcheekdays (25526 words)
Summary: A retelling of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 6, wherein someone bothers to tell Faith that Buffy died. (Buffy/Faith)

Sitting in the Corner, Playing With Myself by pamdizzle
Word Count: 4591 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: T
Warnings: Lucifer's Cage, Mild Torture, Mild Gore
Relationships: Adam/Michael
Summary: Funny title, angsty af Michael POV of how his and Adam's agreement came about. Happy ending, for all that they're still stuck in hell by the end of this fic.
Reccer's Note: A look at Michael and Adam in the cage, and how their relationship may have developed to be more than just Angel/Vessel. This is always a favourite trope of mine for this pairing. Plus, the ending is really cute.

Take My Hand (Life Could Be Better Than This) by shadowscast. Umbrella Academy. "It's 2015. Ben is dead, but he's doing his best to keep his brother alive. It's not easy, when Klaus's first priority is to stay high all the time. In the midst of a particularly rough patch, the ghost of a soldier shows up claiming to know Klaus from the Vietnam War. Weird, right?"

I'm beta on this and the story is almost completed but being posted in installments.
