Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or two in the comments. This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account to make posts on your own, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget, you're free to post recs of your own seven days a week. :D)

So what cool fic/vid/art have we discovered this week. Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Bangtanning all day, every day.


FANART

* Untitled Bangtan Fanart by zachstaph - An adorable piece featuring all seven members and their current pets.


* Spooky Vamp Boy by tailsbee050 - Two v. cute pieces in which Jungkook's an incredibly sweet vampire.


* Me & I by sleepyrabbit_ - Jungkook and Jungkook and their looks circa December 2020 and January 2021. I love the contrast between them. I'm also digging the mildly implied selfcest too, LOL.


* Taehyung Yoongi's big baby? by mellonuyu - A fluffy piece that plays with the taller/shorter and younger/older tropes-that-are-actually-canon.



FICS

* Come Together, Come Apart by TracksDifferent (Explicit, Seokjin/Jungkook, 17.8k) - A story that weaves the anxiety of the near future enlistment of BTS with a v. slow burn between the older and younger members of the band.

One of the things I liked abt this fic was how a part of it was in epistolary form. Also, the focus of the bond between all seven members. Yes, the mains angle is a romantic one, but the friendship all seven members share is palpable throughout the fic.

SPOILERS for the end of Mandalorian S2. The Mandalorian scene set to it’s Toxic by Britney Spears by imoriginalvisual. I loved the wonderful bits of timing in this editing.

More Merthur in Modern AU by lethal-desires. An Arthur-returns Merlin AU gifset. "Ah, how he loves seeing Merlin under the flickering lamplight; just like old times. And, as usual, concealing it with jibes."

Shipping Merthur: 6th Century Edition by once-and-future-dawn. A gifset showing everyone knows what's going on with Arthur and Merlin.

[glitteryv]

Wow, what a variety of recs!

[glassesofjustice]

Thanks for that Mando vid. A++

[yourlibrarian]

My pleasure! Given that it deals entirely with one scene in the series, I thought that the editing was wonderful (particularly bits like the elevator).

Halo Effect by Alex51324 is a massive, massive (526,782 words in two novels) "Downton Abbey" AU with lots of neepery about WWI. Focuses on a gay character, Thomas Barrow, and what would happen if his plotline worked out better for him.

I have seen about 1/3 of one episode of the show, so this is one you can read with no knowledge of the show (it might even be better that way, since the main character is an antagonist in canon).

[glitteryv]

WOWZA at both the word count and the author (I know of them from my due South days. So, like, from a while back.)

[oracne]

I have to find a Downton summary, because a couple of plotlines from what I assume are canon just got dropped. I think I was supposed to know how those came out.

[schneefink]

Seconding the rec, I love this series :)

[tabaqui]

This is a delightful series, oh yes! Time for a re-read. :D

[definitely_not_an_alb]

Definitely also seconding (thirding? forthing?) this rec, it's an amazing fic. I may have been known to rec this to non-fanish fans to explain to them why I love fanfic

[donutsweeper]

For a change of pace, some MDZS/The Untamed art:

🍃🛶🍃 by Alana (title is a leaf emoji, canoe emoji, then another leaf emoji)
Summary: always the bridesmaid never the bride (Adorable little Wen Ning being the eternal third wheel to Wangxian art)

Ghost General by suarhnir
Summary: Just some random art of a cinnamon roll in all his bamf glory...(Excellent Wen Ning art)

Blackened melody by Valeska
Summary: Fanart for fytheuntamed’s Untamed Fall Fest 2020 on tumblr: Day 31 - Wei Wuxian (excellent resentful energy effect with WWX playing Chenqing)

Unmasked (The Untamed Fanart) by H0riz0nMenthe
Summary: Mo Xuanyu no more. A pencil sketch of a fallen mask and blood splatter. (check out all of H0riz0nMenthe's art actually, it's all amazing)

Harry Potter/Pokemon fanfiction

[thady]

Nothing I've ever thought about, but thoroughly entertaining and fun.

The Very Best (21427 words) by BrilliantLady
Chapters: 8/8
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Anime), Pocket Monsters | Pokemon - All Media Types
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Luna Lovegood/Harry Potter
Characters: Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, Sirius Black, Ron Weasley, Pikachu, Hedwig (Harry Potter), Hermione Granger, Tom Riddle | Voldemort, Ginny Weasley
Additional Tags: Powerful Harry, Magical Theory, Magically Powerful Harry, Time Shenanigans, Well-Meaning Dumbledore, Pokemon Master
Summary:

They told Harry that magic was real, but had limits. He saw no reason why that had to be so. Why should you only be able to break some laws of nature and physics? He wanted a pet Pikachu – but that was just the beginning. Serious fic with a large serving of silliness & fun.

Sometimes, the best fanworks are exactly those that you've never thought of and yet! :P
