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

FANART

*MILF by pichirobi - A super cute fanart based on Seokjin's love of fishing AND how often Yoongi ends up being his fishing partner.


* BTS as famous paintings by glassrtz - Pretty cool fanart inspired by 7 v. popular examples of Western art. Here is a list of who is representing which painting


* Untitled J-Hope fanart by meyk96 - Ultra-cool and slightly creepy piece that leans on graffiti-style art in interesting ways.


* koobi bysopedoods - V. cute fanart based on the Hobi's Insta stories for the 04/09/2022 soundcheck.


FICS

* bright mistletoe up above us (it's just you and me) by twomblying (Rated Teen, Taehyung/Jimin, background Yoongi/Jungkook, 9.5k) - A non-Idol AU in which the different members of BTS work at an office. Taehyung's mesmerized by Jimin, the new receptionist; so much so, that his matchmaking plans for Yoongi almost get derailed.

This is a pretty fun story.

I fell headfirst into a new fandom, but I am pretty sure the following fic can be read without fandom knowledge:

passerine by blujamas, thcscus
76k
Fandom: Dream SMP
Warnings: Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions Of Violence
(some of the) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Royalty, Found Family, But make it, Angst, tommy and wilbur are princes and technoblade is a feral god that philza picked up from the woods, thats it thats the fic,
Summary: [...] That fic where Techno and Phil are old immortals, and Tommy and Wilbur are decidedly... not.

Beautiful tragedy. There is even a beautiful animatic for it: Sunsprite's Eulogy

Oh, that sounds interesting. Thanks for reccing it. :D

Lesser known untamed/mdzs fics from me again today:

The Best I Can by Zephyr (ZephyrAndTheSilverfish) (26k)
Summary: ‘Have you heard? Hanguang-jun cut ties with the Lan Sect. Stole a child and ran off into the night.’ In which Wei Wuxian is horribly confused by the world he comes back to and can’t help but be drawn to Lan Wangji once more. Lan Jingyi, for his part, is deeply disappointed by the world he grew up in and just wants to see his best friend again. (well done and plausible canon divergent AU where in order to keep A-Yuan safe LWJ leaves the Lan and canon events play out a little different as a result)

starlight shining brighter Sienne (20k)
Summary: It was no secret that to Lan Jingyi there was no one better than Hanguang-jun (and Wei-qianbei). A glimpse into his life shows how Lan Wangji shaped his life, morals, and interpretation of Lan Sect's rules...and just how high Wangxian set Jingyi's relationship standards (very, very high). (an absolutely delightful Jingyi POV of different times in his life (during his childhood and through post-canon) and his feelings towards LWJ and then WWX, as well as the two of them together)

Linger by apathyinreverie (4k)
Summary: Nie Mingjue’s spirit lingers after his death. He sees everything, all the while unable to interfere or make his presence known in any way, less than a specter of a soul that had once been. It is its own kind torture. Right until Guanyin Temple, where everything comes to light, and Wei Wuxian finally puts his spirit to rest, finally leaving him to sleep forevermore. ...or so Mingjue had assumed. (A mix of a really great NMJ POV post-his death for the first half of the fic and then look at how he changes things)

Huzzah for these recs! :D

A fitting Avasarala vid, Sexy Back by runawaynun. It may be largely about her spectacular wardrobe but I like having an older woman be featured in a sexy way too: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38145268

[glitteryv]

WOWZA, A+ vid! Thank you for reccing it. :D

An Eliot & Hardison tag to The Low Low Price Job.
