Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, just like 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 make posts 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.

another week of BTS goodies...

FANART

- Jimin portrait by Darrchoi - This is Jimin at his sexiest persona: seductive with a hint of danger. The artist has done a beautiful rendering of an already handsome dude.


- BE Concept Doors by 7udios - A v. original fancraft in which the artist created representations of 7 out of the 8* songs in BTS' BE album. Some, like "Life Goes On" and "Telepathy", are more obvious than others, but the entire set is amazing.

* One of the song is a Skit (an audio clip of the guys talking. BTS tends to include skits in their albums (including EPs). The skits tie into the album's concept. In this case, it's the recording of the guys when they found out abt getting the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 100.)

- Namjoon portrait by katsw__ - The way that the artist created an absolutely GORGEOUS piece featuring Namjoon AND integrated his love of Nature is really amazing.


* Artistic Interpretation of BTS songs by ninjin__oishii - A super colorful set featuring two songs from the rap line, Yoongi's "Daechwita", and BTS' "DNA". I love the vibrancy and how individual each piece is.


FIC

- Up We Go by Oh_Hey_Tae - (Teen, Yoongi/Jimin/Taehyung, 100.3k) - This Urban Fantasy AU begins with Taehyung finding a place that shouldn't exist.

Not only is the worldbuilding amazing, but the lyrical style of the writing draws you in. This is the kind of story for those time when you want to drift into a new world that's filled with wonders. And yet, among all the magical realism, there are moments that keep the 'verse also grounded in reality. It's a beautiful story filled with equal parts joy and heartache. NO canon knowledge is necessary.

TW/CW: discussions of loved ones dying, grief and mourning.

yet more mdzs/untamed fics

Petrichor by unnecessary (17k)
Summary: It got a little lonely being the only witch on a mountain, sometimes. Wei Ying liked it! He liked helping the villagers with their problems. But no one else had ever shown any interest in living up here. Not this far up the mountain, where the forest shifted and moved when it got restless. Not here, where strange flowers bloomed that were pollinated by even stranger bees, the kind that looked like they might not have been bees at all. Not here, where you could feel the magic in your bones, even if you didn’t have an affinity for it.

And then one morning, he woke up and found that he was not the only witch on the mountain. There was another one, and his name was Lan Zhan. (Amazing and really interesting witch + soulmates AU with tons of great worldbuilding)

Welcome to the Great Gusu Bake Off! series by BlackWiresOnHerHead (2 fics so far, 1st complete, 41k, 2nd WIP)
Summary Snippet for first fic: Several months ago, college student Wei Wuxian secretly competed in the most popular reality show in the country. The show starts airing in the fall. The freshmen in his dorm collectively lose their minds. (GBBO modern AU, absolutely hilarious)

never love an anchor by tardigradeschool (31k)
Summary snippet: A fisherman and a selkie fall in love beside the sea. Regretfully, things are never quite that simple. (lovely selkie AU)

[glitteryv]

Ahhh, the way that Bake Off AUs tend to appear in every fandom. :P

[donutsweeper]

I love how prevalent GBBO AUs have become :)

[talitha78]

Thanks again for the recs. I loved that GBBO story!!

Under the Surface by pherryt
Word Count: 25842 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dean/Benny/Cas
Summary: Dean was kicked out of his pack because he couldn't turn into his wolf, but shifters aren't meant to be alone. He finds a traveling companion in Benny, who's been on the run from his own pack for years and is desperately lonely. It goes well enough, except that Dean keeps getting sick and Benny doesn't know why, so when they find what appears to be an abandoned village, they take refuge - only to find a lone wolf still lives there and he's not too happy to find strangers in his home.
Reccer's Note: A fantasy AU where all the characters are human-wolf shapeshifters. This is not A/B/O, but actually a really sweet story about how people need other people, and how those who have been rejected or abandoned can find a place where they belong.

[glitteryv]

How interesting!

[kingstoken]

I think it is, and you can probably read this one without really knowing the fandom, because it is completely AU

[yourlibrarian]

[Moodboard] Elyan x Leon Cornish Holiday Moodboards by Isabelle (isabellerecs) for the Merlin fandom.

[glitteryv]

That's a really cool moodboard.

Some art recs from twitter; Boku no Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen:

BnHA
.Bunny Deku by FrejaBoisen; this is just super cute. <3

.Bakugou/Uraraka by joffeecup; also super cute and sweet! <3

JJK
.Crane Game, Yuuji & Gojou, by siyang_come; I love the contrast of silliness with Gojou in the machine and the creepiness, with all the eyes on the sides and the skulls inside, it's super cool!

[glitteryv]

Oooh, that last one made me shiver! :P

let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster) (5043 words) by thehoyden
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Senpai Notice Me, Mutual Pining, 6000 Years of Slow Burn
Summary:

Aziraphale saw him sometimes in all-staff meetings, sitting toward the front but off to the side, lounging against a wall. Even then, he’d had style—wings tipped in gold and face painted with gold flakes in the pattern of the first constellation he designed. He was amazing, and eye-catching, and it was no exaggeration to say that he did not know Aziraphale even existed.

I'm back with Leverage recs! The move was insanely busy and 'net is still terrible but I'm reading more fic finally. So here's a few I read this past week, most focusing on Eliot somehow:

A Matter of Bruises by Bastetsyoungestkitten (2201 words)
A lovely Eliot & Parker fic.

loneliness (please hold my hand) by orphan_account (2101 words)
A good Eliot-centric fic with an angsty ending - just warning you for that!

5 Times Eliot Took Care Of Sophie, And 1 Time She Took Care Of Him by AlannaofRoses (3080 words)
I really love Eliot & Sophie interactions, and this is a beautiful compilation of them, a lot of hurt/comfort in physical and/or emotional ways.

Plan G by NightStreaktheBold (2767 words)
Interesting Nate & Parker fic set mid-show.

[glitteryv]

Welcome back! Moving is such a pain, so I'm happy it's over and you can relax/read more fic. ;P

[michelel72]

Cute Calvin & Hobbes fic in Chocolate Box. I love the ending. Marshmallow Fluff

[glitteryv]

That's quite adorable.
