I've really been enjoying the Wheel of Time show, and here are some fics I've found that I've liked so far!

These are all codas to episode 1x04, so spoilers ahead!

Beside a Fire by

kaasknot
Nynaeve/Lan, rated G, 3.9k words
“The camp was quiet with shock. Warder and Aes Sedai alike walked softly, their eyes turning and returning to the Greens’ tent, where Moiraine had sequestered herself and the wilder in Kerene’s old quarters.”

Corruption by

daydreamer0083
Rand/Mat, rated T, 4.5k words
Mat falls ill while grappling with the aftermath of their stay at the farm. Rand worries about him.

Gratia by Moiraine (atarynnosaurus)
Nynaeve/Moraine, rated T, 3.3k words
After what happened in the cavern, and the way the Aes Sedai camp starts acting around her, Nynaeve retreats for some much needed solitude. Moiraine interrupts, but the two manage to find an unexpected common ground, and share some open honest conversation about what happened.

kiss it better by

jessicawhitly
Moraine/Lan, rated M, 543 words
The scar is fresh and pink, and his fingers brush it gently.
"A new mark," she murmurs, and he hums as his fingers brush over the round of her shoulder.
"You seem to collect them these days."

7 recs from this year's Nirvana in Fire Exchange (5 fics and 2 vids) at my journal.

All of these are fics I read in the past month and enjoyed or found interesting enough to add to my database. I finally caught up to the end of the fics on Fanfiction.net but was only able to enter a few of them so far; the rest will come next time, most likely.

( Explanation of ratings )

( Content warnings and spoilers )

( Ships )

Below are the recs:

( Alphas )

( Speed (1994) )

( 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! :)

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 fanarts/fanvid/podfic/fics have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

* Yes, your eyes do not deceive you: this is up a whole day earlier, haha. I'll be afk for the next two days, so I thought it'd be better to post this up now vs. potentially being unable to do so tomorrow. ;)

the space between insane and insecure by sumomomochi
Fandom: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Pairing: Armitage Hux/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren
Rating: E
Summary: Kylo is so different from Armitage it’s not even funny. It’s not just that Kylo’s parents are okay with him being queer (though the vlogs of him and his mom are always hilarious, sound effects covering the single syllable of his real name as they give each other shit). It’s not just that Kylo is so sure of himself (though the aggressive confidence he has is inspiring). It’s not that he’s glamourous with his involved looks, or that he’s so outspoken against queerphobia, or that he’s fucking beautiful.

It’s that Kylo is real and Armitage is not.

Full rec at my journal.

This is just a reminder that we're always glad to have people rec works from exchanges that go live. Fic in a Box revealed a few days ago, so if anyone has recs, please do post them to the comm! One rec or lots of recs, all are welcome. :) You can also rec your gifts, if you did the exam yourself.

And to help you find things to rec, the FIAB mod is doing a super cool thing where they're posting reading lists every day of the various works. They plan to include every work in a reading at least once. Today's reading list is of works greater than 20k and "in-universe documents," a very cool category of fanwork you should definitely check out if you're not familiar.

Happy reccing! Feel free to comment below with questions. :)

I'm not done reading the entire

ficinabox collection, but I have to recommend the four gift fic I received. Reccs for DC EU and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier at my journal. Two are NSFW.

Also, these two fanmixes. I love the formatting of each, and the playlists themselves feel so tender and epic and timeless (and full of songs I had never heard of before).

trickortreatex released this past weekend! Here are a few recs from that. All are still anonymous.

I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) (Ted Lasso, Roy & Keeley, 700 wds)
Phoebe cajoles Keeley and Roy into dressing up and taking her trick-or-treating. Keeley is enthused. Roy...is less so. Completely adorable. I haven't seen S2 yet but didn't notice any spoilers. Roy being a grumpy, devoted uncle is always my jam.

echoes never ceased (Falcon & Winter Soldier, 400 wds, Sam & Bucky gen)
The hospital's been quiet, so far. Really creepy and excellent.

Your Hands Will Do (Falcon & Winter Soldier, Bucky/Zemo, 2200 wds, explicit)
“Everyone has needs, James. It's nothing to be ashamed of.” Bucky needs some help after both his vibranium arm and his other arm are damaged in a fight. Sweet and hot, and has excellent Sam too.

That Special Touch (Cobra Kai, Johnny/Daniel, 1100 wds)
"The sooner you stop complaining, the sooner we'll be done." Pumpkin carving at the LaRusso household. Very cute.

Tuned (Cobra Kai, 975 wds, gen)
So Johnny has magic mind-reading powers now. It should alarm him, Daniel thinks, how easily he’s accepted that. Johnny with telepathy, and somehow it works! Fun, sweet, and a bit angsty, with dead-on character voices.

Monsters Come Out At Night (Stranger Things, Steve/Nancy/Jonathan, 1300 wds)
"So?" Steve asks, shifting on his feet. "Is it something or…" Monster-hunting casefic with established relationship! It has that properly creepy Stranger Things feel, and the character dynamics are really lovely.

And one bonus rec:

Locks and Keys by

latestillusion (Falcon & Winter Soldier, Sam/Bucky/Zemo, 1100 wds, explicit)
Sam and Bucky convince Zemo to try out a chastity device that comes with two separate locks. Chastity-belt porn, very sweet and hot.

This is an extremely short post this month because while I've been still wading through years-old fics posted on ff.n (in my small bits of free time not occupied by other projects), I've not actually finished doing so, and I'm doing it on a different computer (because the Linux update of FFDL stupidly required a development version of a library rather than one that was actually found on OSes) so I'm waiting till I've caught up to the present day to dump the lot over to this computer to import into the database.

So I present to you one Matrix fic not from ff.n (or AO3 for that matter) that I had time to read, format an epub of, and add to my database. No special flags, but it does have some things some people would find triggers. If you want to know what themes those are, please comment and I'll be happy to let you know; I'm not including them here because some people like to be surprised. I found it a very good read, intense and emotional, and an interesting take on Trinity's backstory.

Any R-rated or X-rated fic from The Construct requires a password to access; you can find the password on their site here.

Beyond the Clouds (23277 words) by SassySnowperson
Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Biggs Darklighter/Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian/Biggs Darklighter/Luke Skywalker
Characters: Biggs Darklighter, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian
Additional Tags: Polyamory, Friends to Lovers, Post-Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Pre-Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, mentions of canonical injuries, Mutual Pining, Biggs Darklighter Lives, Tatooine Cultural Discussions
Summary:

Luke is left reeling after nearly dying by his own father's blade. His pride is wounded, his dreams are shattered, his friend is frozen in carbonite. The only bright spot in these bleak days is one Lando Calrissian, whose easy charm and comforting presence do a lot to ease Luke's mind.

Unbeknownst to Luke, there's more good news waiting, though this particular bit of joy will make certain things a great deal more complicated…

Lando paused. "So, if you'll forgive the vain questions, what are the similarities?"

Luke smiled, thinking of his first friend. "Well, let's see. You both have enough charisma to sell sand to a Jawa. Flirt as naturally as breathing." Luke reached over, laid a hand on Lando's jaw and ran his thumb across Lando's mustache, skin brushing over Lando's lips as it went. The sensation stayed long after Luke dropped his hand and said, "He even had the same mustache and fondness for capes."

Lando, still lost in the sensation, took a minute to say, "Well, it certainly sounds like you have a type."

This is amazing and I love it. Luke and Lando's characters are so perfectly explored, the yearning is so deep and so heartfelt.
