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

A bunch of recs at my journal!

Comedy fics for Barbie and FAQ: The "Snake Fight" Portion Of Your Thesis Defense
Re-Animator fic
Fanart recs for Re-Animator, Titanic, Naruto, and Hollow Knight
Horror fic for Biggles, My Neighbor Totoro, and Greek Mythology

So I thought it might be fun to post recs every so often based on the themed days that are supposedly "National ___ Day". I looked on National Day Calendar to see what was coming up soon, and lo and behold, November 20 is National Children's Day and National Absurdity Day! To me, that means recs involving child characters, and recs that are tagged crack or parody. I'm combining them in a single post so I don't spam people, but everything's behind cuts and clearly labeled so if you want only one or the other, it should be easy to explore just what you're looking for.

( Icon guide )

( Explanation of ratings )

( Content warnings and spoilers )

( Ships )

Recs involving child characters:

( Alphas )

( FBI (CBS show) )

( FBI Most Wanted )

( Greatest American Hero )

( The Matrix )

Recs of crack/parody fics:

( The Matrix )

If any of the links above no longer work (and are inaccessible via the Wayback Machine), please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks!

Enjoy! :)

Cross-posting this list of fabulous art and vids from my journal.

( 20 recs in 5 fandoms. Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy, Hannibal, MCU & Star Trek (AOS & TOS). )

scifirenegade

Title: Monsters
Author:

Whispersecho
Fandom: Doctor Who (classic series)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Ace McShane (and Manisha Purkayastha)
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: There are all kinds of monsters.

Something I don't see often is the exploration of Ace and Manisha's friendship. This piece, one of those rare explorations, contrasts childhood make-believe with the real monsters of the real world.

Title: Inanimate Love
Author:

goldenrod (under the pseudonym Palgrave)
Fandom: Doctor Who (classic series)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Fifth Doctor/his hatstand
Rating: General
Summary: The doomed, tragic one-way romance between a hatstand and a Time Lord.

It's just so funny, and the fact that it's written seriously makes it even better (ie. crack treated seriously).

Marie make short recs posts instead of waiting to have 25 links Challenge—starts now, cross-post from my journal.

Trekkie recs because I've recently become obsessed with Star Trek all over again:

Click for Spones recs

Warning for the fact that when I get into a fandom as big as this one, I narrow the tag by going straight for my id so these recs are mostly mpreg and/or kidfic leaning. Here comes:

Spones, TOS
spones mpreg art (0 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Characters: Spock (Star Trek), Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Additional Tags: Belly worship, Fanart, Fluff
Summary:

Spock is fascinated with the new life growing in McCoy.

THIS IS SO PRETTY AND SOFT AND IM INCOHERENT I LOVE IT

Spones, tagged with both AOS and TOS, not because it's continuity soup, but because both versions of the ship are plot significant!
This Must Be The Place (38393 words) by therev
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies), Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Characters: Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Spock (Star Trek), Joanna McCoy
Summary:

After the Ambassador's death, Spock learns that Ambassador Spock and the McCoy of the alternate time had been lovers, partners. But that doesn't mean anything in this time, for himself and this McCoy. Right?

From space adventure to domesticity in a Georgia mountain town, he'll find out.

I lived with this fic for 48 hours and I think it's reshaped my brain. I love everything about it and this author is amazing.

Spones, AOS
the life of the party (10612 words) by remylebae
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Characters: Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Spock (Star Trek), James T. Kirk
Additional Tags: Past Spock/Nyota Uhura, Post-Star Trek Beyond, Implied Mpreg, specifically a discussion of science-assisted mpreg, Possessive Spock (Star Trek), Hand Jobs, Hand & Finger Kink, Alien Biology, Parenthood, Smut, Getting Together, First Kiss, First Time, Frottage, genital sheath, Touch Telepathy, Fantasizing, Hairy Spock, Party, Hook-Up at a Party
Summary:

“Jeez, Spock, just—can we slow down a little here? We’re not even together yet and you’re already charting out the rest of my life.”

Spock’s brow furrowed. “Shouldn’t one consider the future when entering a new relationship?”

Leonard groaned, shutting his eyes tight. “Look, I’m not against… I mean, do we really have to have this conversation at a party? Can’t we—oh, I don’t know—get a cup of coffee or whatever you’d prefer and discuss this, y’know, privately?”

Something shifted in Spock’s eyes; he looked pleased. “You’re considering it?”

Leonard shot Spock a glare.

This was so so much fun. I am overall, I've found, a sucker for how wordy/argumentative fics with Spock are, and when it's well done it's really well done. And I thought this fic hit it out of the park. Also it's funny and hot af.

Spones, AOS
Well Isn't This Lovely (11803 words) by grumblebumble
Chapters: 10/10
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
Characters: Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Spock (Star Trek), James T. Kirk, Nyota Uhura, others - Character
Additional Tags: Slow Burn, Angst with a Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Mpreg, in that Bones is a trans man, Most of the pregnancy is skipped over, Trans Bones, Trans Male Character
Summary:

Bones and Spock have a drunken one-night stand. And, well... shit kinda hits the fan.

I am in love with this fic, the only thing I'm not a fan of is how long it takes for Spock to become aware he has a daughter, but that's a personal :/ that did not take away from everything else. I'm also officially a sucker for child Vulcans. And in this fic, Leonard's mom.

Will be back with more soon 😍
