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.

BTS goodies...

FANART

* Jungkook Selcas by

damladrawings - Pretty cute fanart featuring each of Jungkook's 2021 selfies (so far.)

* Jimin and Jungkookie by

yurun_1 - Extremely adorbs cartoon-style art inspired by the latest episode of Run BTS in which Jimin and Jungkook were a team.

* Untitled Hobi Portrait by

_holixri_ - A piece that's soft and sensual at the same time. I love the fishnets and giant fur coat look

FICS

* pour it all on me, baby (i'll receive you) by

yoonlun (Explicit, RM/Jungkook/Suga, but V. MUCH OT7, 22.8k) - Jungkook cries the first time after having sex. RM freaks out and asks Yoongi for help.

Confession time: I'm extreeeeemely hot-and-cold when it comes to PWPs. Like, yeah, the porn is good, but I'm occasionally wanting more, you know? (This is NOT a judgement on folks who love PWPs. We all ping/connect to different things and that's okay.)

This fic approaches a PWP scenario with an extra side of FEELS. I gobbled all of it up. It was v. satisfying to see Jungkook figure himself out while in the middle of a threesome OR while getting busy with Seokjin, IJS.

CW: mild verbal degradation--including the usage of the word 'slut'--that is 100% consensual.

* make you breakfast by

graciouskoo (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi, 4.3k) - A look into an established relationship at the start of the production for the "In The SOOP" TV show.

NGL, it's rare for me to seek out fics featuring characters who are in the closet. That goes double when it comes to RPF. That said, I liked the way this author approached that topic: acknowledging the stress and frustration of being in that kind of situation while also carving up a space where people can simply be themselves AND planting the seeds for a hopeful future.

There's nothing grandiose about this v. short fic, but it really works.

TW/CW: Closeted couple discussing the situation.

Where they truly belong by ClaritaWinter
Word Count: 2547 words
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: E
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: The first time Nicolò felt Yusuf’s arms embrace him from behind, he froze.
The first time Nicolò felt the rough scratch of Yusuf’s beard at the back of his neck, he shivered.
The first time Nicolò felt the press of Yusuf’s soft lips on his shoulders, he trembled.
The first time Nicolò felt the swell of Yusuf’s erection against his backside, he gave up.
Or, Yusuf and Nicolò's tentative first steps into each other's arms.
Reccer's Note: Another historical first time fic (I will probably never get enough of these), the author does a great job of exploring Nicky's feelings and insecurity, but also lets him be the one to make the first move. Also, the sex is very well written, evocative without being too much.

Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: “When I’m gone,” Nicky says softly in the quiet of the room, “I want you to move on."
Reccer's Note: This little fic made me tear up a bit. Nicky and Joe discuss what Joe should do if Nicky dies permanently, and Joe expresses himself beautifully.

Assortment of Tumblr art from various fandoms from me today:

Peggy Carter (MCU) art (wow, just wow. I love Peggy so much)
Philantropist Wen (Word of Honor) art (chillingly done)
Kong and his friend Godzilla observe a corgi (ridiculously adorable Godzilla vs Kong fanart)
Shen Wei and Zhao Yulan (Guardian) Art (absolutely gorgeous)
Wen Ning (Untamed/MDZS) Birthday Sketch (the most adorable of adorable WN drawings)
Tang San (Douluo Continent) art (it's unlikely that anyone knows this fandom, but I love how this is reminiscent of an old scroll style of painting)

I haven't seen that Peggy art before. It's beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing. :D

Oh I like that Peggy art too! And the Kong and Godzilla fanart is a +10 over the movie itself.

Only time for one Leverage rec this week:

Let's Go Steal a Snuggle by Demenior (7613 words)
A cute 5+1 where everyone naps on Eliot, and Eliot naps on others. A little OT3-ish in a pre-OT3 way, but you can skim over the little bits that hint at it and still enjoy the rest of the fic as just friendship. (I did.)
