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 of 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.

Some Bangtan Sonyeondan goodies:

FANART

* Carat by summeringminor - V. mild NSFW due to Seokjin being shirtless and laying back in a seductive pose.

* Untitled Taehyung portrait by 13434C - A gorgeous fanart of Taehyung's profile.

* Untitled BTS fanart by heygentlyplease - V. cute piece based on Season 2 of BTS' travel show Bon Voyage


FICS

* the wishes that are in our eyes by misspamela (Explicit, Taehyung/Yoongi, 9.4k) - In a world where folks have powers, Taehyung has the ability is to manifest babies.

This is such a tremendously adorable story, y'all. Folded into the magical realism, there's Taehyung pining for Yoongi and how they end up getting together.


* our bodies, possessed by light by shookyfan (Rated G, Yoongi/Jungkook, 3.1k) - One night post-one of the 2018 London concerts, Jungkook gets a visit from Yoongi.

TW/CW: The fic deals with the aftermath of Junkook's IRL foot injury (mentions of stitches and the injured person complaining of pain). Also mentions of Yoongi's anxiety (including his fear/panic at seeing people he loves getting hurt.)

Select GalacticHub Posts Regarding the Space-Faring Species of Sol III by ivyspinners
Close Encounters of the Human Kind by Blurble
Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind by kototyph

All three of the above are part of the "Humans are Space Orcs (Meme)" fandom and were submitted as part of Yuletide. I hadn't heard the meme's title before, but I've been loving the fic coming out of it.

[glitteryv]

Hahah, I was reading the title and for realsies had a moment of "This sounds like Yuletide thingie". ^__^

[frausorge]

How fun! Thanks for sharing the recs!

[fred_mouse]

Oooh. I hadn't realised that had made Yuletide. I love Humans as Space Orcs.

The People's Alchemist on Youtube by Setari
Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed/Roy
Summary: The People's Alchemist, an internet-famous political vlogger known for his explosive temper, sharp insights, and scathing commentary, runs into smooth-talking Fuhrer Candidate Roy Mustang in a supermarket, of all places, and sparks fly.
Luckily, his dedicated fans are there to document the whole thing.

Social media reacts to the development of Ed and Roy's relationship against the backdrop of an election. This fic is a modern AU, but with all of Amestris's sociopolitical conflicts. I'm a sucker for outsider POV fic, and this is a fun one.

[glitteryv]

Oh, wow, that sounds v. interesting. :D

Does He Know? by Hevheia
Word Count: 796 words
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: “Does he know?”
Nicolò clears his throat and focuses on the scimitar again, pretending to clean the spotless metal. “Does he know what?”
“Does he know that you love him?”
Reccer's Note: A first kiss story, with Nicky pining for Joe. The author is able to pack a lot of emotion into a small fic.

[glitteryv]

It deffo takes a lot of talent do what you mentioned in your reccer notes. I gotta check this fic out. ;)

[schneefink]

Bad for the Rest, a fantastic Ares/Dionysus (et al) Hades fic with the gods in the modern age.

[glitteryv]

Modern AUs can be super fun. Thanks for reccing this.

[schneefink]

They can be! I don't think I'd call this one a modern AU though because when I read modern AU I usually expect the canon background to be transformed in some way, and technically this is just a story set in the very far future from canon.

[charlottenewtons]

Hannibal but it's a Victorian vampire period drama fanart by when-the-bricks-are-down

[glitteryv]

Oh, what a fascinating piece! Good rec!

[abby82]

Wow!

That is one amazing rec. Sooo good.

Tony Stark & Loki artwork: Truce, Idunn’s Apple by vanitasmorgue https://vanitasmorgue.tumblr.com/post/640791717496356864/truce-idunns-apple

[slippy]

Loving that Loki-Tony art. The tension there...

[yourlibrarian]

It's such a common aspect of Frostiron stories but I've rarely seen artwork for it, and yes, that one kind of summed the conflict up well.
