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.

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)
