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

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.)

( 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! :)

Rephrase? by

CenozoicSynapsid

Fandom: Stet - Sarah Gailey
Additional Tags: Interactive Fiction, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Child Death, Animal Death, Artificial Intelligence, Workplace

Rephrase? is a response to the source story delivered in the form of a text game, and it makes brilliant use of the interactive format in a way that perfectly answers the source's own niche format of editorial comments. Here's the author's summary:

Your company's automated vehicle system has killed someone, your team has been working all week to figure out why, and now you're working late writing the summary for your boss. It's a tough job, the kind that might even lead someone to violate the rules of business etiquette. Luckily, corporate has installed a new style checker to make sure you keep things professional.

It's heavy going in many ways - do heed the content tags - but handled incredibly deftly and with great nuance, and all too chillingly plausible. Well worth exploring how each choice gets translated in the outcome.

I have to admit, when I first saw this fic I was perturbed -- 1500 words isn't a drabble! But it's actually a "5 times" fic made up of triple drabbles, and it works beautifully.

Growing Closeness (1500 words) by flowerdeluce
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Loki (TV 2021)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki/Mobius M. Mobius
Characters: Loki (Marvel), Mobius M. Mobius
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Magic, Clothing Porn, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Injury, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, The Void, Desperate End-of-the-World Sex, Triple Drabble, Drabble Sequence, Resolved Sexual Tension
Summary: Time stands still when they’re close, and the TVA’s skewed reference of time's passage isn’t responsible.

For

snowflake_challenge , I made a rec list of six fics with trans characters. You can see the list here.

Merlin/Holy Grail Maship Fanart by gyrhs. Such a great idea, why haven't I seen anyone do this before? This second panel is particularly perfect with the appearance of Will.

Community Comment Fic by dariaw about remote learning (this would have been a wonderful episode plot!)

A Shot in the Dark by Krim.This just had a great tone from start to finish. There's something so perfectly classic Hollywood about the sound and clip choices that make one think about how Only Murders in the Building is both modern and a throwback given its casting.

the country's new behaviour [vid] by stardust_rain. There can never be too many tributes to the wonderful storytelling in Chernobyl and this vid does a great job with it.

Tied to You by gracegraylove. Lovely concept for this Merlin fanart.

misbegotten

A really remarkable story that weaves all the history of the series with a plausible post-canon scenario. Plus lots of feeeeeels.

call me by the old familiar name (40302 words) by simplyprologue
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak, Elim Garak & Kira Nerys
Characters: Julian Bashir, Elim Garak, Kira Nerys, Miles O'Brien, Ezri Dax
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Post-Dominion War (Star Trek), Angst with a Happy Ending, Fake Character Death, Espionage, Lizards, Politics, Garak Can't Pick His Feelings Out of a Police Lineup and that's Very Valid of Him
Summary:

Fourteen years after the end of the Dominion War, Bajor and Cardassia are finally poised to enter the United Federation of Planets, together. But when Castellan Garak and Military Minister Kira find the body of Julian Bashir—with a heavily encrypted datarod containing the last fifty years of covert operations by Section 31 in his hand—on the eve of the treaty signing on Deep Space Nine, negotiations fall apart.

There is some nuance to it, of course, but what is nuance when your friend’s dead body has been found in a stasis container in Cargo Bay Four?

Or, Julian dies in the name of service to the Alpha Quadrant, but does a poor job staying dead. It does get his friends back together in one place, though.
