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 fanarts/fics/fanvids/fancrafts/podfics/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Back to my usual MDZS/The Untamed fic recs this week:

The Jade Chamber by raitala (18.5k)
Summary: Set in modern day London. As a member of the Gusu Institute, Lan Zhan plays his part on keeping the spiritual peace in the metropolis. Wei Ying left the Institute a long time ago, but from time to time they still work together and Lan Zhan mourns the closeness they once had. Lan Zhan calls Wei Ying in on a strange case at the British Museum. Events conspire to shatter the careful barriers they have erected. So much pining. Some case fic. Emotional rollercoaster with a happy ending. Some critique of the museum as an imperialist institution. (interesting world building in the modern-with-magic/cultivation AU and a plausible not quite something-made-them-do it but rather something-made-them-realize-they-wanted-to-do-it set up)

Ties by WithBroomBefore (series, 2 works, 16k total)
Summary of first work: Wei Wuxian collapses beautifully, like a player, because of course he fucking does. If Wen Qing did not know better, she would suspect him of faking it. (really interesting canon divergence-post Lotus Pier's fall but before the golden core transfer-fic with what happens if the transfer doesn't happen)

we all know they're both clowns: a college AU by colonelcatastrophe (4k)
Summary: Prompt: "Fluff, college AU, chaotic WWX, LWJ who doesn't want to mess up their friendship." (as it says on the tin this is fluff, utterly adorable fluff)

The Turtle in the Lanshi by Brierilee (1.6k)
Summary Snippet: Hanguang-Jun was an excellent teacher, really. Easily Jingyi’s favourite. And normally he really, really would be paying attention. It’s just… today, he just could not focus. He kept getting distracted by the turtle sitting on the desk behind Hanguang-Jun. (delightful story and hilarious Jingyi POV- vaguely based on a short bit from the novel but can be read without knowing about it)
