Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, 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, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

Reccing a few fanart and a couple of fics as well. All BTS because, well, have you met me? XD

* mindales created this fun piece inspired by the movie Clue. I particularly like how they assigned each member the PERFECT role.

* The same artist also did a re-imagining of Jungkook as Spidey that's cheeky as well as in character for the ultimate e-boy, Jungkook.

* Speaking of Jungkook, aptyaki went into a heavy fantasy route with this fanart. Canonically, Jungkook does have several ear piercings as well as a lot of tattoos that start on his right hand and (per what's generally known) might go up to his right shoulder.) In any case, I love the juxtaposition of the canonical Jungkook goth eboy look with this version that goes into a v. magical angle.

* Belong Among the Wildflowers (Belong Somewhere Close to Me) by sinkingmyships is a 10.7k fic featuring Magical Florist!Jin and Office Worker!Suga forging a friendship that becomes something more. This is a softe story for when you want to chill out. There are several fanarts (mini-comics, mood boards, etc) that the author linked to at the end of the fic too!

* Like You a Latte by literallies finds Cat cafe owner!Suga falling for Kitty Gang biker!Jimin. In the span of 6.6k words, this story gives you fluff and dudes flustered by being flirted at.

Just one today~

To Come True a Thing Must Come Second by hollycomb
All of their work is absolutely fantastic, but I really enjoyed this OrigFic featuring ghosts, paranormal goodness, and a cute high-school romance as the centerpiece. I also was totally not expecting the ending at all (in a good way).

Blackpool by TheDivineComedian (HP, Regulus & Sirius, 63K)

A wonderfully gothic ghost story with lots of water imagery. I really loved it!

Torchwood Art

My favourite piece of Torchwood Art (now sadly a little spoiled by photobucket's mark)- Parental Locks.

I was thinking of this fic last night and plan to reread today. It's got a really great time loop and character development across it.

fic

Family Dinner

Nicky and Joe

really lovely paintings of Andy, Nile and The Kiss

Random extra

I was on a crusades kick (because of the old guard) and was reminded of this excellent Richard The Lionheart/Saladin fic from yuletide from a few years ago. Does one thing historical fic doesn't often do by completely transporting you
as ice in the desert

Only one Leverage rec this time, because this one's so long it counts for a ton:

The San Lorenzo Job REDUX by Ginipig (187306 words)
Warnings for graphic violence, references to sexual violence and child murder. This is The San Lorenzo Job from Eliot's POV mixed with tons of backstory and well-fleshed-out OCs. Lots of guilt and emotional healing.
