Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, 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, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

BTS ficcies for all:

* absinthe by justananpan - An 11.3k non-Idol AU in which Jin and Yoongi are co-workers at some office. One day, Jin asks Yoongi to pretend to be his husband for an upcoming school reunion. Yoongi keeps saying now until Jin (as a joke) says that they could be in a FWB-type of relationship.

This fic does the v. tricky thing of having characters pining for each other after they've begun sleeping together. It's also pretty lulzy because Yoongi's reactions are unexpected.


* apple and cinnamon by namakemono - At 40k, this is a fic that follows Jungkook as he starts realizing things about himself after Jimin becomes his new roommate. I loved the way that the rest of BTS were brought into the story. BTW, this is also a total AU, so no canon knowledge is needed.


* A Quiet Room by ninamonday - 4.4k words of a story told from Yoongi's POV as he leaves anonymous reviews of hotels and tries to figure out what exactly is his relationship with Jungkook. For a story that this short, it deffo communicates v. clearly the routine of touring, what makes people seek out the familiar, and the tentative first steps into a new kind of relationship for Yoongi and Jungkook.


* space by misspamela - This fic is about half of the one I recced above and yet here's some FEEEEEELS in it from beginning to end.

This future fic centers around Jungkook: his post-BTS life is like now that he's a solo artist, what the bond between all 7 ex-members is like, and where he's headed. In between all that, he seeks Yoongi out. The story begins on a kind of wistfulness turns bittersweet until landing on the best kind of hopeful note. I love it to bits and would read 200k more words of it.


* Circle Back to You by Orphan Account. - Here's 12.4k words that blends in the canon (with it set in 2018) and the fantastical (time travel and doppelgangers).

One night, 2018!Yoongi finds his 2011 version sitting in his kitchen. It's pretty goofy (because 2011!Yoongi is a total brat) and introspective (both Yoongi realizing what's changed in all those years and what hasn't.) Adding to that is a secondary plotline of Yoongi trying to keep his massive crush on Jungkook under wraps.
