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 welcomed to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

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

All BTS, all the time. :P


FANART

* RM/Jungkook quiet time by km1108mh - A sweet kiss between two dudes. As one does. My fave thing is the details in Jungkook's tattoos and his hair.


* Untitled kisses fanart by bracariii - A neat moment in which Yoongi is getting some gentle smooching from Jimin and RM. The color palette is lovely.


* Taehyung/Jungkook in bed by 97_vk_95 - A v. eye-catching piece in which Jungkook and Taehyung are napping. Not only are the colors great, but the details, y'all. Something abt this piece just mellows you out, you know?



FICS

* Homebound by Midtilteinn (General Audiences, Taehyung/Jimin, 11.8k) - The story begins when a harried Taehyung drops Yeontan, his dog, at Jimin's workplace thinking it is a doggy daycare. (It isn't a doggy daycare).

This non-canon AU is a delight because of how the author plays with the zaniness of the situation. Even better is how there's some angst added in to keep things from getting too saccharine.


* My Sky is Clear by bwichimbap (Explicit, Taehyung/Jimin/Jungkook, 5.6k) - One night, post-concert, Jungkook knocks on Taehyung and Jimin's hotel room and asks them to teach him how to kiss.

There's so much tenderness and playfulness in this fic! I really love reading abt the Maknae line being an OT3 (or starting the path into becoming one) and this one really hits the spot in that regard. Jungkook's personality was the perfect combination of vulnerability and excitement. I also loved seeing Jimin and Taehyung realizing that they want this first kiss (and what follows) to be a good experience for Jungkook. :D


* Make This Feel Like Home by eternalmaze (Explicit, RM/Jimin, 1.3k) - A Canon Compliant AU in which RM and Jimin are married. Not much happens plotwise, but I do love the sensuality of Jimin welcoming his husband and the sweet mood between them.

An excellent P&P fic. Very cozy.

Ooooh, a cozy P&P featuring Kitty sounds delightful! I might have to read it in late December. ;)

Fic, The Walking Dead, Friction Match by vegarin
Daryl POV gen with Glenn groundwork, early during the show.

Daryl was twenty-one when he first thought of a life outside their little Georgia farm town, and twenty-three when he stopped thinking altogether.

After they had burned the acres of sick crops for two years in a row, Merle told him, ruddy-faced and breath drenched in whiskey, "Get outta here while you can."

Daryl looked at his brother, his strong, callused hands that had always seemed larger than life, and did not answer.

Because he knew, even then, that you couldn't ever leave your family behind.

I have the vaguest of ideas as to who is who, but this fic's summary is really good.

More The Untamed/MDZS fics that are hopefully new to the comm:

Counting Brushes by Fortune_Maiden (6k)
Summary: Nie Huaisang and Nie Mingjue get into an argument over paintbrushes. The effect this has on the cultivation world is staggering. (Canon divergent fic where NHS sort of accidentally saves everything. I love it)

the moon, grown full by Deinde (22k)
Summary snippet: Wei Wuxian's spirit wasn't missing for those sixteen years. Instead, he watched A-Yuan grow up in Cloud Recesses. When Lan Wangji returns from a night hunt injured, Sizhui and Wei Wuxian must go on a journey to find answers and reclaim themselves. (interesting WWX-as-a-spirit AU)

Heart and Hand by updatebug (series, 4 works, 29k total)
Summary for first fic: One month after Wei Ying first disappeared, twelve days since Lan Zhan learned of this and joined the search, Wei Ying's daemon landed in his lap. She was terrified, injured and, most importantly, alone. She does not know what has happened to Wei Ying. No one does. (really well thought out daemon AU with great world building)

And They Have Escaped The Weight of Darkness by cosmicmilktea (10k)
Summary snippet: In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks. He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets. (Canon divergent post-tiger seal's destruction wherein when striving to help people LWJ finds an amnesiac WWX)

cloudy autumn heaps the sky by anatheme (23k)
Summary snippet: Lan Wangji fell in love with a rogue cultivator who trespassed and drank on the wall of Cloud Recesses but in a desperate bid to win the Sunshot Campaign, the war council agreed to have him betrothed to the Second Prince of the Upper Realm. (AU with dragon spirit LWJ and fox spirit WWX and love finding its way)

The Once and Future Yiling Patriarch by DarkPhantom (PhantomFlutist) (series, 4 fics, 39k total)
Summary for first fic: The memories are still fragments, for the most part. Smells or sounds or a ghostly touch. A few times, a word. A name on his lips, strangled and unidentifiable by the time he's given it voice. And one sentence, just one, in a voice so deep it resonates in the deepest part of his chest. "Wei Ying, come back to Gusu with me." (great immortal cultivator and also reincarnation combination series, loved the world building and seeing all the characters who show up)

I am more than sure that there are ppl who will discover a gem or two among your recs. ;)

[fred_mouse]

multiples here I haven't seen; this is the fandom that is currently eating my mind, so thank you!

[donutsweeper]

Enjoy! If you haven't already checked them out I've been posting recs for Untamed/MDZS every other week or so for a few months so there might be a few other new ones there for you to read. :)

Loved this awesome AU gifset by screenwritr which used images from The Fall to suggest a modern Merlin story, where Gillian Anderson's character helps him search for Arthur: https://screenwritr.tumblr.com/post/634448606243487744/modern-merlin-au-now-detective-merlin-teams-up

[glitteryv]

Oh, that was a BRILLIANT giftset! Awesome rec is awesome. :DDDD

Only one Leverage rec this week:

The Longer Way Down Job by cosette141 (14965 words)
An alternate ending to The Long Way Down Job, with a lot of excellent Eliot & Parker. Some drama, h/c, and a happy ending.

*Gives you two thumbs up*
