Community Recs Post!
Every Thursday, we have a community 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 to make posts of your own, or if you're shy. ;)
(But don't forget, you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. :D!)
So what cool fic/vid/fanart have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Old Guard Recs!
Word Count: 24318
Fandom: The Old Guard
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: Based on this prompt over on The Old Guard Kink Meme: "Everyone is a little surprised when king Yusuf takes Nicolo, a seemingly unremarkable man of modest origins, as his concubine... Turns out Nicolo has a good head for military strategy/is actually the head of Yusuf’s spy network/etc. The boytoy lounging around in silks sipping expensive wine while the Royal Council debates important state matters is just that - an act. Only Yusuf’s innermost circle is aware that in private they never so much as touch. Nicolo takes his job very seriously and Yusuf respects him as the talented professional and valuable advisor he is. That they have a secret raging crush on each other is also something only Yusuf’s innermost circle is aware of, and they despair at it everyday."
Reccer's Note: Yusuf is a King, and Nicolo is his advisor/spy, that disguises himself as the King's concubine. It's a fun adventure story, set in a fairy tale type world. Both these idiots love each other, but they won't admit their feelings until something bad happens. All the rest of the team is involved, and I was delighted when each one made an appearance.

Peggy Carter by
I love this style of art, and it's very pretty. It's far from new, but I just discovered it. :D
Untitled Sam/T'Challa by
This is too cute. I love T'Challa using Sam's wings as a mode of transportation. I'm a sucker for the chibi style so this really made me smile.
Kissing during the mission by
This is gorgeous. The level of detail, the style of art ... I just love it. It was for a fanfic, with Sam and Bucky going undercover and a link is provided in this one, but I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet.
It's called a fly by by
Another chibi style fanart and this was very sweet. I like how Bucky looks grumpy but actually could be smiling too.
Untitled Sam/Bucky by
They use the shield to protect them from the rain. Love the detail and their expressions.
HP Fanart:
the golden trio going to lunch by
I really like how they get to be happy and relaxed, and Ron with his arm around Hermione, and her happy adoring face really gets to me.
Hogwarts Express by
A very cute piece of art and I love how there are floating objects all around. Ron and Harry playing around while Hermione reads felt very IC too.

Untitled Anjali/Rahul by
One of my favorite Bollywood movies/on screen couples. It's really pretty so I don't know if it counts as a fandom, but it is very pretty so I had to share. :D
MCU Fanfic:
You Shake My Nerves (Carol/Natasha, G, 7516w)
Carol's on her way to handle some diplomatic talks when she gets waylaid by life readings on a planet where there shouldn't be any.
Post Endgame fix it, where Carol finds Natasha stranded and injured. Such a good H/C, with a realistic struggle to get Natasha help.
Somebody came close (Natasha/Darcy, PG-13, 1045w)
Blinking sluggishly, she goes to shift but whimpers as pain flares up, licking along her spine and legs. She stops, lets herself breathe raggedly for a moment, and waits for the pain to temper off, back down to something she can more manage.
Natasha and Darcy's first date don't go quite as to plan. Poor hurt Natasha and Darcy is comforting in her own way.
Another Country (MCU, Steve/Tony, PG-13, 1315w)
No paradoxes means no consequences. Steve has regrets, and he can't fix anything, but he can have something for himself.
This from the H/C exchange so no author revealed yet. This was really a bittersweet piece dealing with Steve making a slight detour post Endgame. They really capture Steve's longing and while you know there can't be a long term happy ending, much like Steve, you just want to live in the
moment.
Distract and Extract (Agent Carter, Peggy & Jarvis, Ana Jarvis, G, 1035w)
"If all fails, Mr. Jarvis, why, there is always the window.”
Planning for a case is always better in good company and with a fine spread in front of you.
This was written for me for the DCMarvel exchange so author is still anonymous and I found this fic absolutely delightful! On point with the voices and characterizations and it really felt like it could be a scene from the show.
Other fandoms:
the tabernacle, reconstructed by
Steve Trevor never expected to build a life backwards. Sometimes what you get is what you get. (post-movie)
Steve survives but he's suddenly in 2017 and has to make his way, with more than a little help from Diana. It is a slowburn and the UST and Steve building his life was a definitely a different take on the trope, but one I enjoyed greatly.
something (HP, James/Lily, G, 2422w)
Lily knew that too well - something was always better than nothing, and in that moment something was her husband in her arms and his arms around her.
Anonymous due to the fact H/C reveals haven't happened yet. Lily gets injured during a battle with Voldemort and James takes care of her. Truly a great mix of hurt and comfort. Really had me gripped even when I knew she would be okay, and had in my feelings about both of them, together and separately.
I could offer you a warm embrace (Smallville, Clark/Lois, PG-13, 1303w)
Another story turns into a fight with a monster, and certain feelings are pushed to the surface.
Set in s10 where Lois knows about Clark but he doesn't know she knows. Story goes wrong, the Blur has to save the day and Clark feels guilty about Lois getting hurt. It really showcases how bad they were at being broken up and the fic definitely made me smile.
