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!)

I had a great time reading some shorter (under <2k) fic from the Kink Lucky Dip collection, which opened over the weekend, and I come bearing recs!

Recs for Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Yellowjackets, Archer, Fate: The Winx Saga, Doctor Who and Original Work on my journal.

Title: The Carney by x_art
Fandom: The Mentalist
Pairing: Patrick Jane/Kimball Cho
Rating: PG13 for slash/violence once scene NSFW
Summary: Without any kind of explanation, Jane had led him down the garden path with such ease. All it had taken was that first long glance, a warm smile and a few touches and Cho had melted like a candle in the noon sun.

On AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35938705

This is an AU set not long after the American Depression where Cho is searching for his missing sister, Lucy. The search leads him to Lisbon, the 'secretary' for a Private Investigator, who convinces Cho to let her take on the case when her boss turns it down. The case leads them to Jane, one of the last people to see Lucy, and eventually to Red John. The story cleverly brings in aspects of the TV series and has a film noir feel about it, leading to a wonderful and satisfying conclusion.

If you enjoy this then do check out x_art's other works, especially the gorgeous artwork!

Summary:

On the other side of the moment, those turned to dust may no longer be 'alive', but they're damn well not helpless.

This is the story of how they saved themselves.

Reccer's notes: I started following tielan over a decade ago back in the Stargate fandom, because she is a great author who is especially good at writing female characters and consistently focusing on them. This fic is one of my favorites, it is an amazing response to the mess that is Marvel canon. It's a very different take than other Endgame AUs, but it is masterfully well done and if you like any of the characters who got snapped, you'll probably love this fic.

I enjoyed dipping my toe back into Broadchurch with this! The characterizations are superb.

Reaching Out (3437 words) by Ponderosa

Fandom: Broadchurch
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alec Hardy/Ellie Miller
Characters: Alec Hardy, Ellie Miller (Broadchurch)

All her dirty fantasies about him cling to her like ink smudges. It’s a wonder he can’t see the evidence of it on her skin.

It's the last day of Femslash February, so let's just say that I deliberately waited until the last day to post this. Here are 23 of my favourite femslash vids, across 23 different fandoms. I was going to add commentary but I don't have the required brain power at the moment, but know that I think these are all awesome vids.

23x Fanvid Recs for Femslash February

All of these are fics I read in the past month and added to my fanfic database. (Pretty much just keeping up with new fics for fandoms I already have, since I'm still working on Yahoo Groups and haven't had time to add a new fandom in.) There's some creative ones in this lot! (And plenty of super shippy fluff too.)

( Icon guide )

( Explanation of ratings )

( Content warnings and spoilers )

( Ships )

Below are the recs:

( Push (2009) )

( 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! :)
