Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

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.

Fanart:

Untitled Anjali/Rahul by duckydrawsart (Bollywood/Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)
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 encroix (DCEU, Diana/Steve, Explicit, 20813w)
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.
