Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or two 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 to make posts of your own, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget, you're free to post recs of your own seven days a week. :D)

So what cool fic/vid/art have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

I realized I haven't crossposted any recs here in a while, so here are some recent recs I've made:
- 3 Original Works (including a cool comic!)
- 5 SPN recs (including two vids!)
- 3 Star Wars fic recs
- 6 recs for fic of horror canons, including Scream, Stranger Things, IT, Goblin Market, Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, and Happy Death Day.

Chirrut and Toph defeating a group of stormtroopers by yinza. Rogue One & Avatar TLA. Love seeing this fanart of these two in action together.
What We Live For by kuwdora. Excellent video of Rey/Poe/Finn -- humorous, light and sweet, and superbly edited.
happy new year! and happy 8th anniversary to merlin! by gedref. Animated drawing of Arthur and Merlin celebrating.
1000 Watsons walk into a bar... by destinationtoast. Loved this meta-ish mashup of all the tropes and AU styles that fans spin characters through. Very fitting that it's for the earliest contemporary fandom. Also notable simply for the collective name "an embarrassment of Sherlocks."
The Bullpen by elipie. "Elizabeth Swann: Pirate King." Such a fitting song for her, wonderful pacing, and a celebration of a remarkable character.

Various pairings and types of content; details at post.

Born Under A Bad Sign by AurumCalendula.'been having bad luck all of my days' It's great that there are so many women who are traditional heroes or antiheroes in pop culture now, and Dex Parios is another good example. A good look at her in S1 of Stumptown.
Modern Merlin AU by screenwritr. Although I've seen many AU ideas expressed in gifsets, I've yet to see someone attempt to tell an ongoing story with them. Best of all, this one, which starts with caps from The Fall, make the usual story concept of Arthur's return particularly striking.
[Vid] Unlimited Dark Paths by runawaynun. "Bobbie Draper, Mars, and the era she imagined." I'm rather partial to a vid on my favorite Expanse character, but this has some great editing.
I'm Not Done by AurumCalendula is another good example. In my opinion there was not enough love out there for Terminator: Dark Fate. I love how this stitches together Sarah's longer story into Dani and Grace's. Not done indeed.
VID: Seven Nation Army by mithborien. ""I know my value." A Peggy Carter focused fanvid." Some us really miss Agent Carter and this vid gives us so many reasons why.

Art rec: Autopsy by zeroannat at Tumblr.

Artist's description: Inspired by the parallel in Episode 1 (Young’s autopsy/Collins breaking the ice stuck in Erebus’ rudder). Vague reverse Y incision inspired by Goodsir’s botched autopsy job on John Hartnell.

I've always found that part of ep01 so chilling because of the way that scene is presented, so it was really cool to come across this very neat art that combines the two actions into one.

In light of the Supernatural finale, I have put together a bunch of vid recs in my journal. Click through for 31 vids, all from the early seasons of Supernatural. I may have personally lost interest in the show but I still enjoy rewatching the fanvids. I remember those years being a delightful time for vidding, so thank you to all the vidders who not only made the vids I enjoyed watching but also who inspired me to keep vidding myself.

The Pity War Distilled by reine_des_corbeaux. Fic is a crossover: 1917 x The Magnus Archives (MAG 7 specifically).
Length 1.3k; rated T; gen.

Author's summary: William Schofield meets the War.

...Which is pretty self-explanatory.

Familiarity with TMA is useful but not required - I think there's enough context provided that someone who's seen 1917 but not listened to the podcast would be able to follow this, as long as the idea of War personified is something they enjoy reading about.

It's a creepy, moody, atmospheric read.

The Adventure of the Displaced Watcher by antennapedia. "An accident with a magical artifact sends Giles into the past. Can the specialist in hopeless cases help him before the artifact is lost and he is forever stranded?" Delightful story of Giles during Buffy S5 enlisting England's only consulting detective in the hunt, told in the form of both Watson's and his watcher's diary.
Do Nothing; But Trust Your Bird To Fly by Chibihaku. "When Arthur was eight, he met a boy with golden eyes and a penchant for mischief. When he was fourteen, he met a man with a bird on his arm, and a tattoo on his thigh. When he was twenty, he watched Merlin make a whirlwind and lie about it." I really loved the central metaphor of this story and getting a glimpse into Arthur's childhood and adolescence. I also liked the compromise of the ending, which seemed to me a particularly likely outcome had this happened in canon.
Serenity, Nevada by ChristinaK. "Oz's summer road trip takes him to a sleepy little town in Nevada- one that just woke up with a big new problem, and the local sheriff and citizens may have to face a reality they never expected before the closing credits." Flawless crossover with Firefly, whose characters have been transposed to a western town in postseries Buffy's timeline.
Someday by seekingferret. "If we're gonna make it, things are gonna have to change." MCU vid with serious 2020 energy. State violence, the penal system, natural and unnatural disasters, political corruption, and all the everyday people.
Tempt My Trouble by AurumCalendula. "'We're not friends/ And we're not lovers/ We're just trouble'" Wow, great song for Eve and Oksana but also just a wonderful capsule of what makes Killing Eve sing.
