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 account 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/podfics have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

we could be an ancient tale by mellyflori

Relationships: Joe/Nicky
Summary: "You're the bard?"

"Court poet, technically, but I do the storytelling as well. Sometimes a little bit of singing, but not often."

"You're on a quest in the mysterious forest, Joe."

"I'm aware of the irony, yes. Thank you." Joe rolls his eyes, and a spike of fondness stabs right through Nicky's heart.

A reluctant hero, a dying queen, a desperate wife, a helpful guide, a magical spring, and one smartass shapeshifting weasel. These are the things fairy tales are made of.
Reccer's Note: An AU that is a fun mix of fairy tale, fantasy, and romance. This was a very enjoyable read, the Joe and Nicky romance was very sweet, and the sex scenes were well written. Also, it features Booker as a shapeshifting weasel, which was a delight.
