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 well 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/podfic/fanart have we discovered this week? Leave a comment below. Anon comment is enabled.

Another All-Fanart BTS post. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)

[glitteryv]

* Rapline in skirst and Still dizzy from today's Jimin are both by neemalion - Because who doesn't like dudes wearing skirts? It's worth mentioning that the second piece is based on a canonical Jimin promo pic. \o/!


* Some blond!Hobi and one Jimin by joywithluv_ - Hobi's new look has thrilled the fandom. I really dig how the cartoon-y style enhances the eye-catching aspect of Hobi's ultra-bleached new hair color.


* The Evolution of White Bangs by cerajun - See what I mean abt folks being ga-ga over Le High Fashion Blond look? XD. This time the different pieces are based on selcas that Hobi's taken over the month of June.


* I'm not me, who are you?? by _holixri_ - A moody fanart that's inspired by some of Taehyung's recent-ish photoshoots. The flowers add a pop of color to an otherwise somber piece.


* Namjooning series by monsun_mout - A 5-tweet fanart post that's breathtaking. Each individual piece is a feast for the eyes. I also like the overall calm vibe that you get while looking at them.


* Untitled Hobi Portrait by Icheeryart - A lovely piece (most probably inspired by the "Butter" mv) that has whimsical touches such as the fish floating around Hobi's face.


* Jin Photo Booth by jin_griming1204 - What a sweet fanart! I dig the ARMY shoutout and how pink and luscious Jin's mouth looks.


*Untitled Taehyung Portrait by t4nnies - V. cool yet incredibly creepy fanart. All of those eyes are quite disturbing, but I dig them nevertheless.

Loki Series Recs

[kingstoken]

Loki & Sylvie: Two Awesomely Genderfluid Variants by KetchupOnToast
Word Count: 579
Fandom: Loki TV Series
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki & Sylvie
Summary: "'So, what’s with your look?'
'My… look?' Sylvie was confused, and then it seemed to click. 'Ohhh, I see. Why don’t I look like you, is what you mean.'
Loki shrugged, waiting for her to continue."
_ _ _
Right after Loki and Sylvie's discussion about what love is in episode 3, Loki asks Sylvie about her 'look.' Sylvie interprets this as Loki asking why she is in a female form.
Of course, the two bicker like chaotic siblings.
Reccer's Note: Cute little fic where Loki and Sylvie discuss their gender presentations

display your heart for me to see by ebeatrice
Word Count: 2291
Fandom: Loki TV Series
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki/Mobius, Loki & Sylvie
Summary: “Love is an imaginary dagger, really?”
Loki turns to Sylvie (well, as much as one can turn in these chains).
“You’re still on about that?” he asks, “now?”
--
Or, the TVA catches up to Loki and Sylvie and loads them into the back of a spaceship where they bicker like children on a road trip.
Meanwhile, Mobius pilots, annoyed by their antics and angered by Loki's betrayal in Alabama. Loki wrestles with his feelings - of guilt, for his actions, and whatever it is he feels for this man that's made him feel guilt in the first place.
Reccer's Note: This was written before episode 4, so this is not how things went in canon, but I still love it for the delightful bickering between Loki and Sylvie, and Mobius being pissed at Loki (which they did get a little bit right).

And becasue I like heartbreak, two pieces of wonderful art, She was the kinda person you’d want to believe in you by alyrian and she taught him how to do fireworks by blargberries, where Frigga shows little Loki magical fireworks

Great to see the Loki fanworks appearing!

Fics AND fanart! How timely! ;)

Yet more new/lesser known Untamed/MDZS fic recs from me again:

Too gone to stay by Aenya (MZDS Reverse Big Bang, 32k)
Summary Snippet: “Seems like it worked,” says a nearby voice.

“I guess he wasn’t so useless after all,” the second voice is calmer, and familiar to him. “Welcome back, Yiling Laozu,” Jin Guangyao says. (Fabulous AU, WWX really shows how clever he can be)

finding a long lost friend by MarbleGlove (2k, technically 2nd in a series but works as a stand alone. The entire series is only 6k though and a good read as well)
Summary: The painting was a puzzle. It was a portrait of the Sunshot Campaign leaders as they had truly been, drawn by someone who must have been there. It was a painting by an artist who knew the people well and yet was blind to the political repercussions of being too truthful. It was a beautiful painting and XiChen was glad to have it but also knew it would need to be moved to the forbidden section of the library soon. (AU that takes place years after the raid on the burial mounds that resulted in the Wen remnants disappearance and WWX's presumed death when a young rogue cultivator, Wei Sizhui, comes to Gusu and asks to study there; I love the description of the painting and LXC and LWJ's reactions to it)

He Visited, Still Flitting by aceofbasedesires (14k)
Summary: “The esteemed Hanguang-Jun, always where the chaos is,” Wei Ying says and manages, somehow, to inject some levity into it. “Not even I can be selfish enough to keep him from that.” Wei Ying gives himself two weeks to convince Lan Zhan to run away with him. Set in episode 50. (a lovely filler to some missing scenes in e50 with a bonus JC and WWX interaction)

归心似箭 | Longing to Go Home by dragongirlG (7.5k)
Summary: The destruction of the Yin Tiger Seal does not kill Wei Wuxian; it ages him instead. He takes shelter in a cave expecting to die, but instead he lives, slowly learning to embrace life with each new day. Thirteen years later, a young man with a Lan forehead ribbon stumbles into the cave. His name is Lan Sizhui. (gentle and sweet book-verse AU)

It's great to have more canon entering the fanwork stream!

Fic:

song to the (literal) siren by anonymous (DCEU, Barry/Iris, G, 842)
In which merman Barry Allen saves human Iris West from certain doom in a ship crash, because the author really likes puns.
I received this for a fairytale exchange and it's just so sweet. Great meet cute!

hold on to the memories (they will hold onto you) by silverlandings (Gilmore Girls, Rory/Jess, Mature, WIP)
"Sometimes I wish Jess never came here in the first place. Would’ve saved us all a lot of trouble, right?"
Upon Jess' sudden return, a still hurt Rory wishes they'd never met. What she doesn't plan on, though, is her wish actually coming true.
I was intrigued by the premise and though there is only one chapter up so far, I'm already awaiting what will happen next.

you could call me babe for the weekend by alexisbldels (Gilmore Girls, Rory/Jess, Mature, WIP)
"This isn't Vegas, babe. Whatever happens here between you two is going to follow you all the way back to New York."
In which Jess and Rory call it even and start up a no-strings attached relationship while in Stars Hollow for the holidays.
I'm a sucker for this trope and it's already great. It's a WIP (3 chapters up) but the author updates every Thursday.

The Caverns of a Heart by anonymous (Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius, G, 1318)
Remus doesn’t sleep for the first week after Sirius dies.
Inspired by the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Just well done and I was really happy with it so I had to share.

Eleven Men and a Baby by AndreaLyn (Ted Lasso, Roy/Keeley, PG-13, 6430)
Parenthood is a team sport.
Roy and Keeley have a baby and the whole team is involved. I really love how they capture all the character voices and this fic was entertaining from beginning to end.

[glitteryv]

Huh, a bouquet of fic recs. :)

[svgurl]

Fanart:

Duck Grayson by comickergirl (DCU, Dick Grayson/Nightwing)
Adorable art of Dick as a, well, duck.

Clark & Lois by dovelywind (DCU/Superman: TAS, Clark Kent & Lois Lane)
Funny art of Lois and Clark, with her not knowing he is Superman yet, and going headfirst into danger.

Euglassia watsonia by kennymayovo (Elementary, Joan Watson & Sherlock Holmes)
Still one of my favorite scenes from the show, and this looks great. I love their expressions and the style.

Mini Golden Trio by giuls233 (HP, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger)
Golden trio eating pizza. This is too cute!

Flirting by blvnk_art (HP, Harry/Ginny)
Love their comics and their style.

Sam, Bucky, and Alpine by maddie_w_draws (MCU, Sam/Bucky)
This made me giggle and the smile on the cat's face is the best.

Two bros holding hands by yellowcrowindustry (MCU, Sam/Bucky)
Their expressions! I'm here for all versions of this scene.

Lazy Sunday by galaxyinblueart (MCU, Sam/Bucky)
The two of them playing video games. Love the details and really everything.

Captain America by winterybirb (MCU, Sam Wilson)
Beautiful art of Sam in his Cap costume.

Rhodey by galaxyinblueart (MCU, James Rhodes)
Lovely art of Rhodey.

A Naked Ghost King Before Breakfast by Airawyn is a short and funny post canon Heaven Official's blessing fic. The name is a fairly solid description of the content

Rotten Work by ShanaStoryteller is multi-chapter a post canon Untamed fic that just finished. Jin Ling gets annoyed at the poor communication skills of all the adults and decides that it's his job to make sure Wei Wuxian knows he's loved and valued

Additional Tags: Angst, Oh my god so much angst, Slow Build, like glacial, things are going to get worse before they get better, but there will be a happy ending, As canon as it gets, Death is only the beginning, Dead peanut gallery, gimli is a BAMF, SO MUCH RESEARCH OH GOD, Gratuitous Khuzdul for the win, everyone's dead but they're all still hanging around, Safe for Dain Fans :), Neurodiversity
Summary:

From a Hobbitkink prompt:

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

 

(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

~**~

This story made me cry more than once, and it made me smile and laugh more than once.
And I never forgot about it, even after waiting almost 4 years between the main body of the story and the end.
It's amazing, with a great plot, wonderful worldbuilding, and amazing characters.

I'm going of to re-read this story. Again.

[oracne]

WOW that is EPIC length.

[glitteryv]

Well, that word count is something else! Thanks for reccing it! :)
