glitteryv posting in

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

Yesterday was Jimin's birthday, so I've purposely chosen some Jimin-centric fanarts to share and a fic as well. :P

FANART

* ready! aim! fire! by

jenniaki - A piece inspired by Jimin's look during the Louis Vuitton mini-film. It's incredibly detailed down to the gun.

* happy Jimin Day! by

moonbearries - Collage piece filled with details of Jimin's accessories. I promise it's more fun than it sounds! ;)

* Untitled Taehyung/Jimin fanart by

alekdar_ - A stolen moment perhaps after or during the filming of BTS' performance for The Music Day show in early July 2021. The sensuality of the gloves and also Jimin's gaze in the second piece make these fanarts total chef's kiss.

* sweetest angel, happy birthday! by

jiminscookiejar - Two portraits that fall into the classic style.

* Untitled Jimin fanart by

jamxart - CW for mild Implied nudity. A dreamy and sensual fanart.

* they're streaming butter by

joywithluv_ - An astoudingly good piece featuring Jungkook and Jimin wearing the looks from the "Butter" mv.

FICS

* you keep me up at night by

brightlight (Explicit, Seokjin/Taehyung/Jimin, background Yoongi/Jungkook and RM/Hobi, 22k) - Polyamory + Polyamory Negotiations

A non-idol AU in which Jimin and Taehyung have been bffs and roommates for 5 yrs. Things are going well until Taehyung begins dating Seokjin. And now, Jimin's feeling a bit left out..

I won't even try to be cool, calm, and collected abt this fic: I LURVE IT FROM HEAD TO TOE! It's funny and sexy and has AMAZING characterizations. The way the author set up and displayed all of the different dynamics between the (eventual) triad was greatness.

My one complaint abt this otherwise AWESOMECAKES FIC is that we don't see a lot of the other dudes.

Health Hazard by julidoesnotwrite
Word Count: 666
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: “Oh, a present? Thank you, dear boy.”
“Not a present, angel. Just. A thing. That I picked up. Ehh— Stole, that I stole. Demon, me. We don’t go around giving gifts.”
“Oh, stole it, did you? Well, I shan’t thank you, then. I’ll take it out of your hands and thwart you that way.”
Reccer's Note: Crowley is overwhelmed by Aziraphale's smile. Also he denies going out of his way to bring Azirphale presents, but he clearly does.

Only a few from me today:

Nirvana in Fire:
To Freeze or To Thaw by adspexi (2k)
Summary: It takes a grand conspiracy to force Mei Changsu into rest. (exactly what it says on the tin and very well done)

here i will carry, carry you by egelantier (2k)
Summary: Jingyan was still trying to find a solution when Mei Changsu stumbled behind him - Jingyan whirled around and barely managed to arrest his fall. Up close, Mei Changsu's eyes were glassy, slightly unfocused, and he felt more like an ice statue than a person in Jingyan's arms. It took him several long moments to catch his breath and scramble up, and it was obvious to Jingyan that he wasn't spewing apologies only because he was barely staving off a bad coughing fit. (Jingyan carrying MCS to safety, lovely moment between the two)

Those who live (keep living) by Katharos (series, 3 fics, 5k total)
Description: A loosely connected set of canon compliant fics set after the end of the series. Hopeful. (each focus on a different character- Jingrui, Yijin, and then Jingyan- nice little post-canon snippets)

MDZS/Untamed:

fell by you by Vrishchika (44k)
Summary: Lan Wangji was tossed into the Mortal Realm, injured and helpless. Help came from a bright young Head Disciple. Curious, fascinating, and beautiful, it didn't take long for Lan Wangji to become enamored.

And the rest was fate. (Really fascinating immortal dragon AU)

Magic Man by Tafadhali does a great job of capturing the tone of Dr. Sleep: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33647251

This Merlin fanart amused me: https://changelink.tumblr.com/post/664143494135316480/what-if-instead-of-doing-that-juggling-stunt

Also, a Merlin vid, "Make Something Fine" by sweetestdrain, one that ties together Gwen and Merlin's roles and focuses on her journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLwPiqxNQmU
