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 post of your own, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget, you are 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.

Bangtan Sonyeondan goodies...

FANART

* Hobi, Jimin, and Yoongi portraits by aqualimits - The vibrancy and the accurate likeness of each of these pieces make me smile.

* Breathe by sleepyrabbit_ - Ihni why Jungkook is underwater,but I love the shading, the colors, and Jungkook's tattoos peeking out of his sleeve. Also his little fishie friend photobombing, LOL.



FICS

* Bark for me and I'll bark back for you (because I love you) by hobimo (Explicit, Jungkook/Jimin, 17.1k) - Jimin and Jungkook have been boyfriends for a couple of years. One night, Jungkook "confesses" to Jimin that he's a werewolf. Jimin assumes that Jungkook's a furry. (Jimin is totally wrong.)


* If Home is Where The Heart Is Then Mine is With You by likereallylikeit(G-rated, Seokjin/Yoongi, 10.3k) - Cat shifter!Yoongi adopts a human.

A story that plays with magical realism and soft feelings. I really liked the dynamics between the cat shifters, the way that Yoongi bonded with Seokjin, and the way both characters solidified their connection.


* our hands hold a map (tree rings around our heart) by morelenmir (G-rated, Seokjin/Yoongi/Jungkook/Taehyung/RM/Jimin/Hobi, 10.1k) - Three apartments across Seoul are interconnected via a magical door.

A cute OT7 fic that has the guys meet each other randomly. I loved reading their individual reactions to something that was so fantastical. There was wonder, suspicion, nonchalant acceptance, etc. The ending was v. sweet and fitting for the 'verse too.

An assortment from me again today! (Guardian and The Untamed/MDZS)

Two Guardian fics:
Guardian fics:
Come as you aren't by frith_in_thorns (5k)
Summary: It was a very polite kidnapping. (Shen Wei is grabbed and ZYL has to rescue him without letting the bad guys know who they actually have. Loved it.)

when the light goes out by janonny (53k)
Summary: Shen Wei stumbles across a lantern in the library that is always lit, sitting wholly out of place next to a window that allows in neverending Dixing light. (far future set canon compliant fic that I just could not stop reading)

Two Untamed/MDZS fics:
All In The Family by NevillesGran (10k)
Summary: Five times organized crime came to Baoshan Sanren's doorstep (and one time it didn't), and one time she went to theirs. (Really fascinatingly woven, and sometimes quite fun, modern mob AU story from an outsider's, Baoshan Sanren's in the case, POV)

Softly Falling Snow by vailkagami (4k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian returns to the Cloud Recesses after months of wandering the land to find Lan Zhan in pain, and decides to do something about it. (so tender and sweet)

and one MDZS/Untamed Tumblr art "Inspired by that adorable scene where A-Yuan cheers Wei Wuxian up by pretending to become birds." (slightly abstract but absolutely gorgeous)

4 fics AND one fanart! Wow, a veritable rec bouquet! :D

Don't Touch the Butterfly's Wings by fresne
Word Count: 7188 words
Fandom: August: Osage County
Rating: T
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (although, there is unintended incest, the same that was in the film)
Relationships: Little Charles/Ivy
Summary: Little Charles didn't remember when he became Little Charles. He didn't remember his first toddling steps towards his Dad. He didn't remember the first time his Mom sat him down in front of a TV so she could have a God Damned moment to herself. He liked Sesame Street. Everyone was nice.
Little Charles knew the exact moment he fell in love with Ivy.
Reccer's Note: If you ever watched the film and thought these two characters deserved better, than I suggest you read this, it will be a balm to your soul. It is from Little Charles' POV and follows his life and how he fell in love with Ivy, and also deals with the film's aftermath.

Sounds like a good fix-it. :D

I enjoyed the reminder in this Merlin gifset by thebookluvrr that the writer(s) of the official Merlin books was apparently a Merlin/Arthur shipper too: https://thebookluvrr1816.tumblr.com/post/646512279094968320/dialogues-from-the-official-bbc-merlin-books

[kingstoken]

Cool gif set, also I had no idea that Merlin had tie-in novels.😮

[yourlibrarian]

Neither did I!

[glitteryv]

V. impressive gif set is v. impressive. :D

[schneefink]

Don't Look Back by acuteneurosis, a Star Wars time travel AU: Leia travels back in time and meets Shmi Skywalker, and things develop from there. The first fic is ~150k and complete, the sequel is 185k+ and unfinished.

[glitteryv]

That's a v. interesting premise and some epic-length reads!

[delacourtings]

as always, fanart!

call be your name (music video).
tell me you love me in private by contemppp
an insanely good piece of devil!nas from the music video. gorgeous vibrant colors.

lil nas x as a god in hades by antonodemico
nas from the music video as a character from the video game hades. a cool concept executed so well!

disney
disney girls by _tasiams
beautiful indidivudal portraits of esmerelda, wendy, alice, elsa, megara, and kida all gathered together. beautiful pastels!

howl's moving castle
howl by itsbabypears
tbh i've never read or seen howl's moving castle but i know it via fandom osmosis and adore all the fanart, including this one. love this artist's style and colors.

howl's moving castle box covers by imzeferino
absolutely phenomenal art for what i believe is the brazilian box set of the books.

IT
you're heavy by 10_sgan
a beautifully soft piece of richie/eddie cuddling. love the colors in this one.

comfort by reddierly
another soft reddie piece, this one of them embracing and with gorgeous use of light.

eddie's just a little unhinged today and the follow up local man gets it now by kasphacked
an angry looking eddie (because he's feeling touch aggressive, according to the artist) and a soft, puppy-eyed richie and then the aftermath of that piece, which i won't spoil. just trust me.

i also rec kasphacked in general but espeically a husband who will take your phone calls for u.

misc.
and idk the fandoms, though from digging i think they're from spirited away and pokemon but ciaraturnerart makes the CUTEST art!

and also a quick rec for an event: elasticella is hosting sapphic spring and there are a ton of great f/f drabbles in lots of fandoms over there!

[glitteryv]

So many fanart recs! Awesome!

[doranwen]

A few Leverage recs this time:

The Fourth Wall Job by Gray Cardinal (3106 words)
An amusing crossover with the Carmen Sandiego '90s cartoon. (Not the game show with the super-catchy and punny theme song, but it gets its own mention…) I've played the game on the Commodore Amiga (and later some DOS versions with emulators) and seen a few eps of the TV show, but it was enjoyable enough with just vague general Carmen Sandiego knowledge.

She Can Act (When It's An Act) by Wordstreamer (490 words)
A nice little insight into Sophie's apparent lack of acting ability. Warning - it might just change your headcanon!

The Achilles Heel Job by Nellied (18315 words)
A (in turns) funny and heartwarming fic about the things each Leverage team member cannot do. Slightly AU in bits, but mostly meshes well. OT3 foreshadowing hints, but for those who don't go for the OT3 at all (like me), you can read it without being bothered by them.

[glitteryv]

Thank you for the recs. :D
