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

FANART

* Untitled Kim Seokjin fanart by

o24_y1 - A sweet fanart of Seokjin's The Little Prince-inspired "Moon" performance

* Untitled Jimin fanart by

BuLa78run - Such a cool drawing of Jimin taking a dip somewhere and showing all of his moon tattoos. Adding the NSFW warning cuz his 🍑 is lovingly displayed.

* First love by

basketofloquats - What a neat piece from the recent MNet performance. I love the way the artist depicted Yoongi on top of the piano with all the light twinkling around him.

* I felt attacked by Jimin when I woke up by

AltieDraws - Not only do I love the style this artist used to draw Jimin from his recent Weverse article, but I also liked the hat tip at his back tattoos.

* Untitled Jimin/Jungkook fanart by

nukames - Sweet moment in bed for Jimin, Jungkook, and all of their new tattoos. Hinted at v. mild nudity but I wouldn't say it's NSFW?

* Jungkook's tattoo study, a 2022 upgrade by

sharrills_art - Striking and vibrant, these two pieces explore the before and after of Jungkook's new ink. The level of detailing is amazing, really.

FICS

* two tickets to wife city by

screamlet (Mature, RM/various OMCs, RM/Hobi, background Seokjin/Jungkook, Taehyung/Yoongi, 8.5k)

After seeing Seokjin and Jungkook get married, RM decides he has to tie the knot with someone. So he meets and dates all kinds of wonderful ppl, getting support and comfort from his friends when those relationships inevitably run their course.

And then, there's Hobi. Who is sure RM will never see him as a potential husband…or will he?

The zany tone of the story balances out RM's desperation to settle down. Some moments are a little serious and introspective, but the general mood is more lighthearted than not.

* tidally locked by

screamlet (Mature, Seokjin/Jungkook, background RM/Hobi, Taehyung/Yoongi, 10k)

Taking a place a whole year later after the events of the fic above, this fic is a DELIGHT if you are a Seokjin fan OR if you like stories featuring friends being platonic soulmates (of a kind.) The author does a SUPERB JOB with Seokjin's characterization.

In addition to that, I love the worldbuilding (some of the guys work in the music industry, others don't) and how all 7 end up connected.

As typical, some new/lesser known MDZS/Untamed fic recs from me today:

Paper Trail by Wolfling (21k, MDZS Reverse Big Bang 2022)
Summary Snippet: Rebuilding a relationship one letter at a time. (Post-Canon tender and sweet epistolary fic)

梅花/plum blossoms by bunnxianluvsu (MooseFeels), MooseFeels (20k)
Summary: Lan Wangji has been chief cultivator for many years when he is given a gift. (Wonderful AU where WWX didn't return after 13 years and the truth came out due to different reasons and LWJ has been the chief cultivator for 40 years when the Emperor presents him with a courtesan, Mo Xuanyu)

Amid the Frost by LtLJ (5k)
Summary: The Yiling Patriarch's demonic cultivation sect is invited to help fight a massive waterborne abyss. Exhausted and half-drowned from battling ghouls, Wei Wuxian meets Hanguang-jun. (A really interesting Non-Jiang WWX, no sunshot campaign canon-divergent AU where WWX and LWJ meet and are instantly drawn to one another.)

Wonderfully done Merlin fanart comic/poem -- certainly how I'd like to think Merlin and Arthur passed those years: https://h-l-w.tumblr.com/post/687400064300220416/words-from-you-are-jeff-by-richard-siken

I keep going back to this story. It's sweet but never sticky, and a ton of characterization in a compact space. It's Ed and Stede's last time in front of a firing squad, and there's no way out. They totally die. But the world carries on, with accounting, Love Island, and reading while you eat your lunch. CN for death, alcohol, and accountancy.

in the margins (3305 words) by weatheredlaw
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Blackbeard | Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet
Characters: Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard | Edward Teach
Additional Tags: Modern Era, Reincarnation, Soulmates, Drinking, First Meetings, First Kiss, Implied/Referenced Character Death
Summary:

At this stage of his life, it’s important for him to realize nothing exciting will ever happen to him. That he is too old for spontaneity, but too young still to die. He reads a book about pirates. His namesake occasionally appears. Stede feels a kinship with him that goes beyond the name and the page, grips him like a vise and won’t let go.

or: Ed and Stede choose each other in this life. And the next. And the next. And the next.

Flight Rising, fannish cooking, SFW. Emojis and macarons that I thought were pretty neat. The talent!

Wicked, Elphaba/Fiyero, fanart, SFW. Here. A really cool artwork/costume design for a circus AU.

Multifandom, fanvid, SFW. GOD IS A WOMAN | INDIAN MULTIFEMALE EDIT. I can't say I've seen any of these movies but it's a beautiful vid of costumes and scenery. CW for some violence.
