Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

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.

I did not expect to find 78k of The Witcher Echoes of the Fall AU, a fusion with one of my favorite book series which is set at the end of the bronze/beginning of the iron age and also people shift into animals, but I did and it's fantastic.

[donutsweeper]

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

decay by antebunny (4k)
Summary: The Lans agree to take in the DafanWen after Wei Wuxian rescues them from Qiongli Path. Their only condition: that Wei Wuxian lets himself be purified of resentful energy. Lan Wangji thinks this is how he will finally get his Wei Ying back, free from demonic influences. Wei Wuxian thinks this is a fancy way of saying "execution." (The Wen remnants are saved, but at what cost? This fic's ending is left open and somewhat devastated me)

family by antebunny (8k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian takes the Wens to Lotus Pier before the Burial Mounds, even though he doesn't expect Jiang Cheng to protect them. Wen Qing offers his secret in exchange for their safety. (And I love that between Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli they nearly save everyone)

不忘 | Don't Forget by dragongirlG (50k)
Summary snippet: Wei Wuxian falls into the Burial Mounds and unknowingly lands two thousand years in the future. (really interesting cultivation, reincarnation and canon divergence fic)

this river runs to you by sundiscus (series- first fic is 53k, second 4k)
Summary: In which Wei Wuxian is a curse worker secretly searching for a lost dragon, Lan Wangji is his new assistant, and the two things may not be entirely unrelated. (Brilliant world building and working canon plot points into an AU)

Not Yet (There As Needed) by sunrise_and_death (AO3 locked) 13k
Summary snipped: A meditation on family and the merits of communication, courtesy of Lan Sizhui. (Wonderful interactions between Lan juniors and Jin Ling and WWX)

(Someday I will read things other than The Untamed and MDZS fics and be able to rec different fandoms. Someday)

All BTS, All The Time

[glitteryv]

FANART

* Namkook by hopamine_ - Jungkook and RM have a quiet moment. It's a good visual representation of what both guys are like when they're offstage too.


* Jimin/Jungkook Fanart by JIMINTOP CW for mildly sexual content (nipple play). A bit of naughty time between these two featuring nipple play. What's not to love?


* Knead the dough by drawballa Yoongi loves petting RM's chest and his affection is quite reciprocated. ;)


* Stay connected by seokjinterlude - A cute and simple piece featuring Yoongi and Taehyung playing the guitar and piano respectively. Whether or not it's the two of them as friends or as romantic partners is up to you.



FICS


It's Getting Hard (This Holding Back) (Explicit, Yoongi/Jungkook, 3.5k) and Gotta Handle You Just Right (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi, 3.1k) by smashthatlikebutton - Nothing like people declaring their feelings for each other...while in the middle of an orgy, LOL. I really dig the way that all seven guys interact (with the vibe being more of Close Friends With Benefits than actual!Polyamory, btw. At least, per the author's tags.)

The second fic is a prequel in which we get to see what happens when Yoongi ends up trying on the tentacle dildo on Seokjin.

Although both fics are part of a series, you really don't need to read the first story to understand these two. For one thing, the first story is v. low in explicit content. Also, the focus of it is on a romantic relationship for another ship.

In short, feel free to skip the first fic in the series if you're in the mood for something porny.


* Make It Look So Easy by carmenlire (Unrated, but I'd give it a PG-13 rating; Yoongi/Jungkook, 2.4k) - A glimpse into an AU in which Yoongi's THE mob boss and he's dealing with the aftermath of an attempted kidnapping of Jungkook (his bf). I was tickled pink by the roles the rest of the guys fulfilled as well as the hidden menace in Yoongi as he begins to figure out how to retaliate.

For such a short fic, it builds up enough plot to make you go "Ooooh".

apostasy by darkmillennium
Word Count: 6357 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: M
Warnings: Non-explicit Sex, Hell Trauma
Relationships: Adam/Michael
Summary: Michael's already got a failed life behind him and a hell-bound future in front of him, alright? He doesn't need a fucking demon, of all things, constantly following him around.
The demon doesn't seem to care.
Reccer's Note: Switching characters around and putting them in different roles is often an interesting concept. In this fic Michael is a human hunter, who has sold his soul and Adam is a demon. I really enjoyed this, it is just snippets of scenes between these two characters, but it really made me want more of them and this universe

i've been on twitter since 2012/13 but never really thought to look for fanart there until this past year or so and now i have an entire separate twitter account dedicated solely for fanart recs! fanartrecs, if anyone is interested. (there's quite a bit of nsfw retweets, do be warned.)

anyway, here's some fanart recs from twitter i've come across lately!

bts
19th century taehyung portrait by sarrruna
first we have one i feel like glitteryv will appreciate, a stunning portrait of taehyung in the style of a 19th century portrait.

clueless
cher and dionne by _tasiams
i love clueless and was SO happy to come across this art of cher and dionne. i love this artist's interpretation of the characters and the clothes and colors are just great.

emma (2020)
four screencap studies by _tasiams
more 2020 emma fanart! yes, please!! i let out a gasp when i came across this just a few hours ago. the art is so soft and ethereal with pastel pink tones. just gorgeous.

it (2017 movies)
richie/eddie fake screenshot by trashcanprince
this is a gorgeous what-if of what could have happened at the end of the second IT movie if [spoilers] hadn't happened and in my mind this is now canon!

these next few are for fandoms i either have only passing knowledge of or don't know at all but the art was so gorgeous i bookmarked it anyway.

the addams family
morticia and gomez by vickisigh
gorgeous Halloween aesthetic and use of bold colors.

legend of zelda:
zelda and link by viria13
this made me laugh despite barely knowing the fandom and the art itself is gorgeous. instantly transported me to a magical world.

lord of the rings: legolas & thranduil by myriadgod
two absolutely stunning black character designs.

mexican gothic:
noemi by jemlincreations
character design for the main character of a book that came out recently. bold and beautiful colors and the details are spectacular.

revue starlight:
mykr but make it a spy romance by jawlipops
no idea what this fandom is but wlw spies but it's basically f/f spy romance and i want a movie of it right now.

and these last three are oc's of the artists but i just had to rec them.

what if we were both vampires... and we kissed by firnella
f/f vampires! kissing! well, almost kissing. not nsfw but pretty suggestive.

soft black vampire girls kissing by by_10ia
more f/f vampires but cute kissing this time!

dark rituals by vacuum_chan
gorgeously detailed witch/other eldritch being in her spooky autumn house

Somewhat belatedly, because this week has been a bit crazy, and because I haven't read much fic at all, only one Leverage rec:

Mise en place by sunspot (unavoidedcrisis) (479 words)
A cute Eliot & Parker fic with them cooking together.
