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

BTS - All Social Media-Inspired Fanart Recs! ಥ_ಥ

[glitteryv]

A boon from how active the guys have been is how many things fanartists have created. Behold, a curated selection of goodies...


* findings yoongi zZzZz by KNart93 - a tremendously cute fanart based on RM's first Instagram post.


* finding yoongi by SALTYSUMMER_ - Same title as the piece above, but this time it digs in DEEPER via additional (fake) posts and tags. I love Yoongi's overwhelmed expression in this comic.


* Finding Jimin by THEBLXKSUGAR - Too cute! (Also, for context, this is based on Jimin's emoticon being a baby chick.)


* Namjooning by Aish_ish14 - A recent Insta post by RM--in which he's sleeping while riding a train to or from NYC--is the inspiration for this quietly beautiful piece. I love the different tones of orange and how they enhance the cozy vibes.


* I miss you -_- by sin_sin39 - A mini-comic that might explain why exactly was it that Yoongi's new first post is a red square. The nod to Seokjin/Yoongi is done in a subtle yet neat manner.


OK, more context for the next linkies. So, this past Tuesday, Jimin posted a series of pics on Weverse showing the process of getting some extensions in his hair. The first of said pics had him wearing some ridic long gray extensions. And the fandom has never been the same again, hahaha.

* Untitled Vmin by natsuiki860607 - Just a casual piece featuring the soulmates.


* Poor Yoongi doesn't know how deal with wolf (fox?) Jimin by seesaw__cake - A neat fanart that's halfway between tender and naughty.


* Untitled Vmin 2 by missydesu_ - Ah, but Taehyung is deffo a goner but Jimin and his new look… >:)


* Taegi x Jimin with his long hair by YomiTwt - Ah, and now both Yoongi and Taehyung can't keep their hands off Jimin's hair. (I promise this one is far more innocent than it sounds.)


Folks seem to have latched onto the R63 version of Yoongi/Jimin and I, for one, couldn't be MORE DELIGHTED ABT SOME F/F...

* Yoonji and Jimin take turns cutting off each other's hair by MySinSide - (NSFW-ish because they're in underwear) I really dug the casual-yet-friendly vibe as well as their poses in this piece.


* Untitled Yoonmin by ArtKargent - (NSFW-ish due to suggestive pose?) And here's a slightly cheekier fanart of Yoonji about to get kissed by Jimin. Seeing Jimin's tattoos was a detail I really liked.


* Untitled Yoonmin fanart by Morrison_5727 - What's not to love? Jimin and Yoonji as gfs, Yoonji's attitude, and Jimin's casual chicness! Power couple indeed!


* short hair BFFs by glassrtz - Although this fanart isn't shippy (it can certainly be that. It's up to you, really.), I adored how well the artist captured one of Yoongi's real life gestures and reinterpreted it for Yoonji. And then, there's Jimin looking cool yet always ready to support her bestie. ;)

A mix of things from me today!

First, an amazing Nirvana in Fire vid:
Vid: Secret by sandalwoodbox. Summary: No-one keeps a secret. (Utterly amazing, when you're watching episode by episode it's easy to forget just how many secrets there are that people are hiding and then you see it all laid out like this...)

And then assorted length Untamed/MDZS fics:
Tether by WithBroomBefore (40k)
Summary Snippet: Wei Wuxian tells the truth, sort of. AU diverging when Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji find Wei Wuxian in episode 20. (really interesting canon divergent fic)
found your writing on my wall by howodd5ever (25k)
Summary Snippet: In which Wei Wuxian is cursed, Lan Wangji is protective, and Jiang Cheng is tired. All three of them have to learn how to deal with each other in the aftermath. (really sweet with alternating POVs of JC and LWJ as the two of them spend time with kid!WWX and learn to get along)
smiles like flowers on the altar of the heart by cl410 (1.6k)
Summary: A smile spread across his husband’s face, sly and impish. Wei Ying lifted a hand to inspect the two bottles of Emperor’s Smile dangling from his grip. He shifted in place, and the sword in his hand caught the glint of moonlight with a bright flash. Lan Zhan’s breath caught, and he understood. This was an invitation. A repeat of history, of sorts, of a night that Lan Zhan would never forget. Except this one would be without the tragic ending-- one in which he would return to the jingshi with his husband, where they shared a life together. It took a moment for him to find his voice. (short but utterly delightful)

Oh, I'll have to check out that fanvid! Thank you for reccing all of these things. :D

[reeby10]

I just started reading through lupinus's Teen Wolf fics, so I'm going to rec their Dragon Verse series. Accidental baby acquisition, dragons granting wishes, and get togethers oh my!

[glitteryv]

Haha, it sounds like a good time for everyone! Thankies for the rec. :)

The Superstitious Ones Are Always the Worst by JoyAndOtherStories
Word Count: 5995
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Two weeks into moving together into a South Downs cottage, Crowley is secretly enjoying domesticity AND secretly hoping that his and Aziraphale's relationship might move into a less platonic arena, eventually. Instead, he has an exceptionally inconvenient encounter with mobsters whose only advantage is the accidental possession of blessed weaponry. This won't further his hopes AT ALL. (Or will it?)
A bit of fluff, mild peril, crimes against fashion, far too much banter, and a healthy helping of smut!
Reccer's Notes: For a story that has both mobsters and smut this is surprisingly sweet. Plus, I love stories where Aziraphale is the one to rescue Crowley

[glitteryv]

What an interesting premise! Thanks for reccing this fic. :)

3 v different recs

[feckyeslife]

This week's fics that have me going *heart eyes* for surely must be shared.

A Heart of Wreak in Thee, That Wilt Revenge by symbioticdeath has it's third and final chapter out. Delicious Netflix Punisher series AU with a wonderful Karen Page/Billy Russo rarepair sprinkled with some delightful cameos from the MCU. I probably already rec'd the earlier chapters of this but it's done and I'm already going let-me-in.png at the Series that has been tagged on this (and definitely didn't write my own related work last month nope nope).

I would be remiss if I didn't prop up these two great fics from the Heart Attack collection (which I'm sure has even more goodies, but these two hit my id perfectly and only one was created FOR me)

came down from the stars just to hold your hand by Anonymous is an Among Us fic. Crewmates racing across the galaxy to rescue a crashed ship and getting betrayed along the way, discovering old flames are on the crew roster of the crashed ship, then having to escape dangerous aliens -- it's a great trip. The characters are phenomenal.

Vanilla Lace by Anonymous is a Divergent series Vampire AU. Definitely something that might not hit the casual fan's buttons (especially with the non-canon Eric/Tris pairing) but I love how wholeheartedly excited you can tell the author was when crafting the worldbuilding and story here. Snark, pining, political machinations, and a bit of bloody smut make this a great fic.

Re: 3 v different recs

[glitteryv]

Heart-eyes fics are deffo worthy of getting the spotlight, heheh. Thanks for reccing these. :D

[seerofrage]

I have two Yugioh fics to rec, by the same author; each looks at the relationship from one of the characters' POV, and I enjoy them a lot. <3

about him by vindice
Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura, T, 430 words;
Character Study, Poetry, Pining Devotion, Angst with a Happy Ending, POV Second Person;
This isn’t about you.

&

foolish boy by vindice
Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura, T, 710 words;
Character Study, Poetry, Devotion, Mutual Pining, Requited Unrequited Love, Angst with a Happy Ending, POV Second Person;
You won’t do that to him.

The first is from Bakura's POV and the second from Yami Bakura's, and the pining and devotion are very good. <33

[glitteryv]

Ah, wow, same author and different POVs! Thankies for reccing these fics. :)

[doranwen]

Very late, but I was sick Thursday (still not feeling great, but enough time to add one Leverage rec here):

Looking For a Place to Land by Distracted (981 words)
A lovely short Nate & Eliot fic.

[glitteryv]

I'd call it fashionably late myself, haha. Tho, in a more serious note, I truly hope you get well soon. Thank you so much for reccing this fic. :D
