Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, just 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, 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.

Rollin' up with the BTS recs...

FANART

* Jungkook portrait by shevchenkaa97 - A striking watercolor portrait of Jungkook that I pretty much <3___<3 at as soon as I saw it.


* Visual representation of the BE album part 1 and part 2 by monmouths - V. cool pieces inspired by each of the 8 songs in the album.


* Yoongi's cover was blown by sn_trix - A cute mini-comic based on a Bangtan Bomb in which Jimin befriends a kitty during a photoshoot.


* Vampire AU by chimnycricket - Vampire!Jimin is feeding. CW: blood


FICS

* 6+1 by wildlikeawolfpack (Mature, OT7, 27k) - Jungkook and Hobi hook-up segues into actually dating. Early on, Hobi tells Jungkook that he's got 5 other boyfriends and Jungkook learns a thing or two about himself.

The thing I liked the most about this fic was seeing the process of someone learning about polyamorous relationships and where such knowledge leads them. Jungkook tries his best to understand what Hobi being polyam means for their relationship. There's some emotional angst, but I felt that it was addressed in a good, non-dramatic way. I also liked the tentativeness and, ultimately, the love between all seven guys.

A Good Old-Fashioned Cock Up by Atalan
Word Count: 1188 words
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Crowley's habit of subjecting Aziraphale to bad movie nights backfires spectacularly.
Reccer's Note: Hilarious little fic where Crowley accidentally brings the wrong type of film to movie night, and Aziraphale figures it out way before Crowley does.

FebFeels - 28 Days, 28 Ships by TheGreenestGreenToEverGreen

assortment of Untamed/MDZS things:

here comes your ghost again by yuer (vintageblueskies) (4k)
Summary: He stitches a tiny row of suns along the left cuff of his inner robe—not flames, never flames, not after Lotus Pier burned, not after Wen Qing burned—suns, life-giving and scorching, for the last, best doctor of Qishan Wen. She would probably laugh at his badly sewn suns and his sentimentality, but her eyes would be soft. Some days, he misses her so much he thinks it might swallow him whole. (beautifully melancholic WWX remembering WQ fic)

Amazing Untamed WWX-centric video (The Sound of Silence by Disturbed) (embeds don't appear to work for comments so I'm just linking it)

An Untamed/MDZS fanwork of sorts:
Sect Scarf Patterns by Opalsong
"19 colour-work crochet scarf patterns based on the 5 Major Sects (plus Yiling Wei) and on our favourite characters. Plus some worldbuilding about how these patterns could exist in the actual canon-type universe." (patterns and pictures of the completed versions for the various scarves)

Melancholic little A-Yuan and LWJ art (tumblr link)

A+ assortment. ;)

Fandom: Captain America (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Characters: Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern: No Powers, Alternate Universe - Urban Fantasy, Alternative universe - rural urban fantasy, Skinny Steve, Bisexual Steve Rogers, nokken Bucky Barnes, Artist Steve Rogers, (I'm having trouble tagging this one yes), supernatural creature, not quite as lighthearted as the summary sounds, but still soft, Soft Stucky Week, Mythical Beings & Creatures
Series: Part 3 of Soft Stucky, Warm Stucky, Little Ball of Sass
Summary:

When Sam's friend needs a house-sitter for his place in the country, Steve jumps at the chance. Six months rent-free to do nothing but draw and paint and wander the countryside, looking for inspiration? It was like a dream. But when he gets lost in a storm and nearly falls into a pond he starts to rethink the whole like a dream aspect of life in the country. And when a red-eyed, sharp-clawed, silver-fanged creature rises out of the darkness, Steve is one hundred percent certain the dream's morphed into a nightmare.

...until it gives him a cup of tea.

(Inspired partly by this prompt a supernatural creature is supposed to scare you but instead it gives you a cup of tea and a blanket because you're having a bad day and you keep coming back and partly by this painting.)

This was such an intriguing looking Merlin artwork, which was for a story: https://lordmemengliish.tumblr.com/post/643417657666928640/aha-no-merlin-dont-become-a-bog-bodyyoure-so

And I quite liked this Merlin gifset which utilized dialogue from The Old Guard in a very fitting way: https://fy-merlinxarthur.tumblr.com/post/644164200741142529/camelotsheartthe-love-of-my-life-was-of-the

One funny Leverage rec for this week:

Five Times Sophie Devereaux Attended Her Own Funeral and One Time She Didn't by quid_felis (1395 words)
A very funny 5+1; the last line is so very Sophie I giggled.
