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

Weekly BTS goodies .(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

FANART

* Checking to see how it's healing by _jellyfish_ - A cute fanart of making sure his lip piercing is healing correctly. I really like the style this artist used to depict Jungkook's doe eyes.


* Good morning by natsuki860607 - Such an adorable fanart of Taehyung and Jimin going thru their morning routine. Their floofy hair makes me ^_^!


* careful…he bites by artisqueer - B&W drawing of a bare-chested!Namjoon that left me sweating. Cuz, wowza, the sensuality of his posing and facial expression…


* I blacked out and woke up with this drawing on my desk by lachasso - What an apt title! Here's Namjoon in teeny-tiny briefs and wearing what, if I'm being nice, I'd call a shoulder warmer, LOL. This is a piece meant to make stop you in your tracks and just ADMIRE. >;)


FICS

* Operation Boiled Frog by courtlily (Mature, RM/Junkook, 22.7k) - That extremely vivid title aside, this is a pretty cool canon-compliant fic in which Jungkook's realization of his feelings for RM is the starting point for LOLARIOUS seduction 'schemes' courtesy of suggestions from the rest of the group members.

The characterizations are solid throughout and RM's obliviousness is super adorbs too.

BTW, what I mean by "canon-compliant" is that the fic takes place throughout most of summer 2020. During and shortly after the filming of "In the SOOP" Season 1. So, if you've watched that show or know what I'm talking abt, then you might get a kick out of the story. Even if you don't, though, it's a highly enjoyable read.

Trigger/Content warnings: There are three mentions of the COVID-19 pandemic in the fic. Particularly in relation to how BTS' schedules (along with everyone else in the world) changed due to lockdowns, social distancing, etc. I didn't find any of the three mentions upsetting or triggering (like I usually do when it comes to seeing it pop up on fic), but I thought it'd be good to give a heads up. Y'all know yourselves and what you can and cannot cope with. <3

More MDZS/The Untamed fic recs from me today:

Make Me a List of What You Lost by Eevee (EvaM), kazzashepard (49k)
Summary: Demonic cultivator (and bisexual legend) Wei Wuxian offers to marry his definitely-a-lesbian best friend so she can receive her inheritance and take over for her sexist uncle as the head of Qishan Labs, the medical facility turned experimental cultivation incubator where Wei Wuxian has worked ever since his life, love, and future all went up in flames.

There's just one problem - he's already married to the college sweetheart he hasn't seen in thirteen years. Now he'll have to return to Gusu to face up to old love, hard truths, and long-kept secrets, all the while trying to remember that he's there to get a divorce. (Modern cultivation AU with great world building and tropes)

I called your name 'til the fever broke by darkredloveknot (enheduane) (10k)
Summary: In the forest, in a house drenched in memories, there lives a witch. One night he gets a visitor who has forgotten who he is. (Modern with magic, light horror AU. Wonderfully lyrical)

Students of Song and Seeds by DizziDreams (20k)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji had two goals when he arrived at Gusu University, where he would be studying Illusion Magic in the university's acclaimed Music program: 1- Graduate with honors. 2- Do not acquire a soulmate. (Great modern-with magic university soulmate AU with a lot of interesting world building)
