In case you missed it, the themes for Rectember Week Four are here. Come rec longfics, underrated works, and works for tiny fandoms!

And for those of you who have unthemed recs you'd like to share, here is our weekly community recs post! Every Thursday, we have a post 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, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

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

fabrisse

In the Shadows of Tall Buildings -- by SorchaR, Kings TV series. Technically it's only over 50,000 words if the whole series is included, but the first story is over 40,000 words, so I hope it's not too much of a cheat. It's David/Jack and takes place after the end of the series. Jack shows up at David's family farm having escaped from Silas house arrest. It goes on from there.

The Fool in the Mirror -- by thepinupchemist, Marvel Film Universe. It's Steve/Bucky. Definitely an AU. It's also A/B/O. It deals with depression and suicidal ideation in Steve Rogers, so heed the warnings. As someone who's worked a suicide hotline, I think it's pretty accurate. It's over 100,000 words.

No Misunderstandings -- by eretria, Marvel Film Universe, Peggy Carter during the war. There's Steve and Bucky, too. Beautifully written and 66,000+ words.

Single Use Weapon -- by Fahye, Kings TV series. Another after the end of the series story. Another David/Jack. It shows Jack in an intriguing light.

6 longer fics for which NO canon knowledge is required. :DDD

* The Romance of Old Clothes by

fringecity (Explicit, Yoongi/Taehyung, 59.6k) - Non-Idol AU in which Yoongi is an Art Director, Taehyung is a wardrobe stylist, and they have to collaborate on an important TV project. I really enjoyed the writing, the characterizations, the fact that this was a true Enemies to Frenemies to Lovers fic. It also had a dollop of magical realism that was interwoven into the plot. ALSO, if you like vintage clothing (especially the designer kind) or are interested in fashion at all, then this fic will be a treat.

Oh, and it did something that's a MASSIVE SPOILER in such a skillful way I still <3____<3 when I think abt this story.

* let the light in by

sharpa (Teen, Yoongi/Jungkook, 65.6k) - AU in which Jungkook is trying to not fail college while in NYC. Some people have magical powers, some do not. A beautifully written story abt found family, romantic love, and OT7 friendship. Reading this fic gave me COZIEST FEELINGS EVER.

* Fake Sugar by

minverse (Explicit, Seokjin/Jungkook, 87.5k) - One of the best things about the Seokjin/Jungkook ship is how GOOD CHAOTIC they can be when they're together. This story does a really good job of showing why Seokjin/Jungkook is a fun ship to check out.

All you need to know is that Seokjin is a competitive eater who ends up getting Jungkook as a fake sugar daddy. It's lolarious from beginning to end with added sexy and sweet moments throughout the story.

* Darling, Just Say You'll Stay by

tusaisbts and (Explicit, Yoongi/Jimin, side ships for Taehyung/Hobi and RM/Seokjin, 91.3k) - This fic is set in an Old West AU where homophobia doesn't exist. Jimin travels from NYC to a little city out west to marry a rancher he's never met.

Do you like slow burn? As in actual slow burn? The kind where you're just about to explode because you're 30k in and the MCs are still pining for each other? Then this might be the fic for you. The longing Yoongi and Jimin felt was the best AND worst thing ever.

* Summer Sands by

jvante (Explicit, Seokjin/Yoongi that then becomes Seokjin/Yoongi/Jungkook, 94.4k)- Jungkook is a broke college student that, on a whim, decides to join a sugar daddy/sugar baby app. He thinks he's getting catfished when one of the replies is from a v. famous male model...

I really loved the individual dynamics in this story. Since it's pretty long, there was enough time and space for everyone's relationship to get established. It's also hella hot. >:D

* turn up your light by

spudcity (Explicit, Yoongi/Jimin, 101.7k) - A fantasy court AU in which Yoongi marries Jimin without any expectations of love. It's supposed to be a strategic marriage...until it becomes something more.

A+ characterization of Jimin (and everyone else, but I really liked the Jimin in this story) plus the way Jimin and Yoongi became a surprise POWER COUPLE. There's also some yummy plot to keep you reading this story late into the night. ;)

Dependency by walkingivy
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Pairing: Bones/Spock
Word Count: 158,197 words (for the entire series)
Rating: T (parts 1-4), E (part 5)
Warnings: Hurt/Comfort
Summary: When Spock and Bones are trapped in a no-win scenario on a slave planet, they become closer than anyone would have thought possible.
Reccer's Note: This story is as good as any of the Star Trek tie-ins I've read with the added bonus of Spones. The author does such a great job of creating believable Trek missions with interesting aliens, while also blending in canon events. It is very McCoy focused, but there are other POVs, and everyone sounds in character. The author also does an amazing job of bringing back small plot points from the early part of the series and making them relevant later on. The romance between Spock and McCoy is very, very slow burn, but feels amazingly worth it. The first four parts (128,197 words) make a complete and satisfying story, the fifth part was a sequel that the author became disillusioned with and never completed, so you can skip it if you want.

One Night by story_monger
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Castiel/Sam
Word Count: 56,289 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Sex work, discussions of drug addiction, some discussion of past child abuse, Non-Supernatural AU, some self hatred by Cas, but he is ultimately accepting of his own and Sam's sexuality
Summary: Castiel has already gone through the rigmarole of coming out as asexual and aromantic. That somehow doesn't stop a few unruly cousins from setting Castiel up with a stupidly tall sex worker named Sam. Castiel is mortified and ready to put the whole thing behind him, except he and Sam inexplicably bump into each other again a few weeks later. It marks the beginning of a friendship that ushers them into new territories, both with each other and the people around them.
Reccer's Note: I don't normally like non-supernatural AUs, but this is one of my all time favourite Sastiel fics. I haven't read a lot of asexual Cas, but I think this fic handles it really well. Cas works at a museum, and Sam is a law student who pays for school via sex work. I think Sam's profession is also handled well, it showcases that it is okay for Sam to be a sex worker, while also not shying away from some of the dangers inherit in that type of work. It is such a great fic that shows Cas and Sam forming an unlikely friendship, and the two them trying to figure out what type of relationship they can have while dealing with a variety of issues. This is also where I confess that in AU fics I love when all the angels are part of a large extended, dysfunctional family, and this fic delivers. This fic is chocked full of side characters, and not just the angels, Meg, Charlie, Benny, Mrs Tran, Ellen, Jo, Ash and of course Dean. It deals with some tough issues while also managing to be sweet. I can't tell you how much I love this fic, I was sad to see it end, I just wanted to read more about their lives together

The Last Outpost of All That Is by gekizetsu
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Word Count: 59,037 words
Rating: Not Rated (but I would say it's M)
Warnings: N/A
Summary: Sam and Dean are the last two people left on Earth
Reccer's Note: The author does a fantastic job describing a post-apocalyptic world where Sam and Dean are the only two survivors, and this isn't like the apocalypse from the show with Angels and Demons, and epic battles, no this is a quiet apocalypse where Sam and Dean wake up one morning and everyone else is gone. Set roughly after the ending of season 2. The story really focuses on Dean and Sam trying to process what has happened, and the trauma of such a situation. It is wincest, but how they come together makes complete sense given the context of the story, they only have each other to turn to for comfort.

A Flower In Autumn by enigmaticagentscully
Fandom: The 100
Pairing: Kane/Abby, minor background Bellamy/Clarke
Word Count: 63,627 words
Rating: T
Warnings: AU - Regency
Summary: A.K.A. The Melodramatic Kabby Regency Romance AU You Never Knew You Needed Until Now
Reccer's Note: If you like regency romance novels you will probably enjoy this fic. The author was able to make Abby and Kane sound pretty in character even though they had been plunked into a different genre and time period, which is a feat within the itself. There are also some delightful cameos from early seasons characters like Vera Kane and Diana Sydney.

Our last week of prompts! Thanks to everyone who's been posting recs. :) These prompts are for September 22-28. After that, I'm going to declare the last two days of September and the first week of October as an amnesty period, when you can post any recs you didn't get around to before. :)

WEEK FOUR THEMES
- Works over 50k
- Underrated works (by whatever metric)
- Works about tiny fandoms (define this however you like!)Collapse

glitteryv

* Think Tidy by

nivo (Hobi/Yoongi, 2.1k, Mature) - I have to admit that Sope (Hobi/Yoongi) is one of those ships that I am still dipping my toes in. It's obvious they really care/love each other IRL, so it's fairly easy to understand why they'd be a lovely ship to explore in fic.

In this story, they're newly assigned roommates. Hobi is over the moon at living with someone who enjoys keeping living spaces neat and Yoongi (despite his initial gruff exterior) is a marshmallow of a person. I'd have legit read a 20k fic set in this 'verse.

* sweet hot jackpot (winning the office pool) by (Teen, Seokjin/Jimin,10.1k, Office AU) - New hire!Jimin makes a terrible mistake in eating someone else's food. Now everyone keeps pushing him to fix it.

Do you like zany premises or goofy humor? Then this fic might be for you! I will say that I liked the Office Shenanigans more than the actual romance between Seokjin and Jimin (tho it was lovely!). Still, it made me take a closer look at the oldest hyungs per age group (the hyung and maknae lines) and consider how and why there would be sparkage between them.

BTW, if you do find yourself becoming a Seokjin/Jimin shipper, this author has several fics to scratch that itch. ;)

* Green witch!Namjoon by

aptyaki - Canonically, Namjoon (RM) is someone who loves Nature. He has a pet bonsai tree and everything.

This fanart is a gentle spin in that love for flora and fauna by making him a green witch. Not only is the art great (the artist did a really good likeness of RM), but it's also whimsical in the best way possible.

* Hobi/Jungkook fanart by

oursummer_ends (Content warning: NSFW fanart that contains nudity (not full frontal, but you can see butt))- Hobi/Jungkook is another one of those ships that I'm slowly checking out. This piece is a rather naughty moment of the two of them in bed. I liked the colors and the intimacy throughout.

* RM/Jungkook Mutual Admiration Society by

rinandrix - One of the reasons why I knew I just had to include this rec is that it plays with (again) canonical details. IRL, Jungkook, who had been wooed by several idol agencies, decided to sign with Big Hit (and join BTS) mainly because of RM. In turn, RM was quite starry-eyed about Jungkook because of his talent. They both happen to be sort of muscle bros too.

This fanart highlights the literal mutual admiration in a way that can be considered platonic or romantic or sexual. It's quite neat that way. ;D

I'm new to the community, but just from reading the Rectember posts, I'm certain I'll participate.

I got into reading and writing fan fiction over 20 years ago. Vids are something I found accidentally a few months ago. I'd welcome any SG-1 vids you'd care to recommend. I prefer Gen or Jack/Daniel. Solo character themes or any combination for friends would also be heartily welcomed.

The two stories I'm looking for...
1. Jack is officially retired. The ceremony is in the Gate room and he kisses both Sam and Daniel.

2. The other is about a planet protected by Thor with a very Scandinavian culture and climate. The Stargate only opens a couple of times a year. Jack and Daniel are stranded there. Daniel finds a former professor of his whom he hadn't seen in years. The story was very long with a great deal of detail about the local culture and Jack and Daniel ending up together.
Found!

Two short fics about unhealthy relationships:

A Less Equal Match by

blancwene
Persuasion, m/f, Charles Musgrove/Mary Musgrove, fic

A devastatingly accurate bit of backstory on how Charles and Mary came to get engaged. (and an exchange treat for meee!)

Wednesday Morning by

pqlaertes
due South, gen, Francesca Vecchio & Pop Vecchio, fic, tw: child abuse

A different take on the ghost trope from the show, completely mundane and all the more bitter and chilling for it.

And two short fics about sex:

Bruised by

Nemoinis
Pop RPF, m/m, JC Chasez/Joey Fatone, fic

Sex that's about indulging in fantasy more than about what's actually happening, right up until it's not. (Note: Link goes to the author's site as this fic isn't on AO3.)

wild thoughts by

bluelines
Hockey RPF, f/f, Gillian Apps/Meghan Duggan, fic

Established relationship sex made of equal parts of knowing each other thoroughly and being able to surprise each other.

I wouldn't remember most fics under 1k if I were asked off the top of my head, and the few I would, I rec'd the other week in the "works I re-read" post. However, this is exactly why I built a fanfic database in the first place. A little fiddling with the SQL to build the right query and some formatting to create a report, and I have a list of all my favorite fics (that were entered in the database so far - I didn't quite get to 1000 total fics before the Yahoo Groups project took over my life last fall, only a handful of smaller fandoms) which are under 1K words. Since that list includes any favorites of the works I wrote, which would violate the self-rec rules, I'll paste the recs here and filter those out.

The one thing that this list doesn't have are the ships, though I'll try to note those if I remember them. (I can run queries and generate reports that limit by ships - or any number of themes, for that matter - that's easy enough, but to include the list of ships in the query results or report would be prohibitively difficult and the results would be terrible to try to wade through, formatting-wise.) So you're getting author - title, with rating and words below that. I'll group fandoms under cuts to make it easier to expand just the ones you know, since this is mainly tiny/rare fandoms. (I'd started with the small ones, adding those to my database, and I hadn't finished the Matrix ones, even, plus I know I'm behind on the FBI ones since that's been an active fandom.)

With short fics it takes more time to describe them than it does to read them, so I'm probably not going to say anything about most of them, and recommend just trying them. I'll try to warn if there's any serious triggers that I remember, but mostly just look at the tags.

One note about ratings: My database includes fics from both Fanfiction.net and AO3, so I adopted a standard MPAA-style rating system, where G to R corresponds to ff.n's K to M, and PG to X (which was shorter to use than NC-17) corresponds to AO3's General Audiences to Explicit, but I may occasionally mark a General as G if it's particularly suitable for children to read. It's a bit of a compromise but so would be any other option. Fics that chose not to use a rating (on AO3 or a blog post) are Unrated.

( Crossovers )

( Alphas )

( FBI (TV) )

( Flood (2007) )

( Fried Green Tomatoes )

( Push (2009) )

( The Matrix )

I hope someone finds something enjoyable on this list. :)

Having always had an interest in Arthurian stories, when I heard about BBC's Merlin I checked it out. And I was so disappointed in it that I didn't try again for several years.

One work that made me think I should was the vid "Red" by obsessive24. It's striking to watch, even if one doesn't know the canon (and, as is the case with quite a few Merlin vids, makes it look much better and more coherent than it is). It was likely because of Red that I ended up trying out Steam by new_kate, "Renaissance-era Steampunk reincarnation AU featuring brilliant engineer Prince Arthur, his savant mechanic Merlin, a robot bird, and an evil mecha."

I don't even recall how I came across it now, but I'm guessing it was someone's rec, and it sounded intriguing enough that I gave it a go. I enjoyed the fic and decided to try the series again before going after more fanworks.

I still think it is a deeply flawed canon, but after a bit I grasped why the fandom had latched on to it so tightly. That would be a separate essay, but without fanworks I would surely never have watched the show nor continue to read in it regularly.

In terms of minor characters, the first one that popped into my head was J.A.R.V.I.S. He adds a lot to many a story, but I recall one in particular focused on him -- The Son Of Man by copperbadge. "JARVIS did not want to be a real boy. He was quite happy being a building." It was particularly nice that it was a long fic as well!

I don't tend to read much under 5000 words much less 1000, but I did have one item in my bookmarks, also, as it turns out, featuring J.A.R.V.I.S.: Verb: Buttling by redsrule1.

kingstoken

bring me home (like memories do) by echelons
Fandom: X-Men Comicsverse
Pairing: Logan/Ororo
Word Count: 863 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Canon Typical Violence
Summary: Alone, injured, and amnesiac, Logan remembers someone else.
Reccer's Note: Poor amnesic Logan has some memory flashes of Ororo, I really like how this author describes the memory flashes, and really conveys the thought process of a sad, confused, but determined Logan.

I Saved A Plate For You by ilgaksu
Fandom: Hawkeye Comics
Pairing: Clint & Kate
Word Count: 326 words
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: Kate finds out about the farm.
Reccer's Note: A little bit of a mix of the Hawkeye comics and the films, because here Clint has the farm which is a movieverse creation. It is Clint's POV and a look at how much he wants Kate to be a part of his universe.

The Grand Plan by Cornerofmadness
Fandom: Star Trek TNG
Pairing: Beverly & Deanna
Word Count: 228 words
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Beverly has something she wants to ask Deanna.
Reccer's Note: I'm a little biased because this was written for me, but it is a cute little slice of life, where Bev knows exactly how to tempt Deanna

Fictober18 #7 "Don't Worry, We Still have Time" by KaCole
Fandom: Star Trek VOY
Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay
Word Count: 331 words
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Chakotay has issues after Tom Paris and Kathryn's trip into transwarp.
Reccer's Note: A little coda to Theshold, if Janeway and Chakotay had already been in an established relationship.

ART: Valkyrie on the battlefield, haunted by ghosts by

poxei - SFW. Great concept, gorgeous execution.

ART: Carol/Valkyrie naked cuddling by

moishpain - NSFW. Gorgeous and hot.

FIC
What Heroes Do by

AliceinKinkland
Valkyrie-centric Val/Loki, 5k. One of my foundational stories for Valkyrie. I love how it touches on her history as a slaver. I love her dynamic with Loki, as another person with very mixed feelings about Asgard, trying to reinvent himself and figure out who he is. Everything about it is good. <3

the valiant never taste of death but once by

Ias
Valkyrie/Blonde Valkyrie, Valkyrie/Hela, 18k. This is a look at the end of Asgard’s era of conquest, through Val’s eyes. This is just brutal in the best way. I love the psychology here of Val and her commander gf, and also Val and Hela, how Val has never really believed in Asgard’s shining ideal and ends up being drawn to Hela as someone who embodies the opposite of it. Just really interesting stuff here.

the ghost and good queen val by

Wildehack
Valkyrie/Loki/Thor, 8k. Valkyrie with what remain of the refugees, after Loki and Thor are presumed dead. Post-IW fixit from Val’s perspective, with flashbacks. I love everything about this—Val as grudging leader of the remaining refugees because she’s the only one left, Val and Loki in their prickly FWB situation while they both are in love with Thor, Loki and his magical ~~sleeves~~ interdimensional cupboard. The voices are great, the humor and the grief is great. A+++.

i brought a knife to a gun fight by

paperclipbitch
Valkyrie + Bruce, 2k. In which they come to terms with each other, a little. Great voices, very funny, great characterization.

Time Share by

thingswithwings
Valkyrie/Bruce, 12k. After Ragnarok, Val talks the Hulk and Bruce into a truce. I love how much Val and the Hulk just really enjoy each other, and how Val and Bruce build something between them, too, despite not being sure what to make of each other at first. I am absolutely in denial about the final scene.

my black eye casts no shadow by

Queelez
Carol/Valkyrie, 5k. Carol hires Valkyrie to help her on a rescue mission. The voices and dynamic here is great, and I freaking love the body horror elements, as they're rescuing folks from, as the notes warn for, "forced roboticization." :D :D :D

The Slow Death of Winter by

misura
Valkyrie/Hela, 2k. In which Valkyrie ends up locked in Hela's prison, and Hela has reasons to keep her alive. Hilariously awkward hurt/comfort, less murder and sadism than one might expect, and Hela's narrative voice is great.

Nostalgic by

thedevilchicken
Valkyrie/Hela, 1k. Val thinks back on the time Hela had Valkyrie eat her out on the throne of Asgard. This is short but packs a hell of a punch, with a great last line. Also: scorching hot.

and i've loved in shades of wrong by

ginnyweasleys
Valkyrie/Loki, 6k. Sparring leads to fucking; after the first couple of times it happens, Loki's feelings start to get more complicated. I liked their dynamic here, and the sex is 🔥.

Port Out, Starboard Home by

scioscribe
Valkyrie/Loki, 15k. Post-Ragnarok, Loki is pregnant and blue and Val marries him to protect him from various threats. I also love fic where Loki is forced to deal with being Jotun, and then Val is so great in this, and the romance is so sweet and understated and yet feels like it goes really deep, under the sarcasm and teasing. My heart. ;_;

* Cursed to be a monster!Jungkook by

Meowclifer - A fantasy AU in which Jungkook is a prince cursed to become an actually!cuddly monster. The fact that Yeontan (Taehyung's dog) shows up, also hints at some potential Jungkook/Taehyung goodies. :)

* Amazing acrylic paint of King Yoongi by

minhmiracleart - A gorgeous painting based on Yoongi's look as the Hoseon era, evil king in the Daechwita mv.

* BTS as geese fanart 1 (Seokjin and Taehyung) and 2 (four of Jungkook's looks by

reallynotjin - I love the goofiness in seeing geese versions of Seokjin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. These pieces are sure to make you smile.

* A SOFTE Taehyung/Yoongi moment by

dblacat - (Implied nudity because one of the characters is taking a bath, but there's nothing specifically NSFW here) I love the color palette in this piece. Yoongi and Teahyung's overall relaxed and intimate vibe draws you in.

* Fairy!Jin by

NevDrawsAyy - It's Jin in his fave pink hoodie smiling at you while sitting on a flower. This is too cute to not share with y'all.

* YoonKook and Vmin hands by

neptuneartyk - Although I wouldn't say I'm a hands-type of person, there's something abt Yoongi's hands that makes me swoon. In this instance, the artist has used some of the choreography and/or concert moments to showcase Yoongi/Jungkook. I love the contrast between Yoongi's pale hands and Jungkook's tattooed ones. And then, the second piece has Taehyung's long hands holding onto Jimin's much smaller ones. It's adorable.

* Taehyung x Basquiat by

xvii_rx (a.k.a. Roach) - Roach is one of those artists whose pieces ALWAYS makes me stop and really take my time to appreciate everything happening in them. Here we see Roach do a Taehyung portrait inspired by Basquiat. The vibrant colors and overall style are fantastic.

glassesofjustice

This is a rec for an Explicit fic where the smut does the heavy emotional lifting and is the catalyst for serious character growth. The uncommon kink (at least for my ships) is mutual masturbation. I see this mistagged all the time when people actually mean finger fucking and it makes me sad because I adore mutual masturbation. This fic delivers on that front in spades.

The key themes are sexual discovery and coming out/internalized homophobia.

Title: Pansy, Rows, and Mutual Wanking
Author:

violetclarity Artist:

kysprite
Ship: Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson
Word Count: 27,052
Tags: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Eighth Year, Roommates, Party Games, Truth or Dare, Underage Drinking, Research Projects, Internalized Homophobia, Coming Out (to oneself & others), Denial, Friendship, Fights, Getting Together, Masturbation, Mutual Masturbation, Explicit Sexual Content, Sexual exploration, sexual realizations
Rec: This fic really utilized mutual masturbation as a vehicle for mutual exploration and discovery in a way of I haven’t ever read before. There is also untagged shower sex. The smut is 10/10. Hermione goes on a journey, and it’s a joy to read. But, she’s also filled with doubt and fear about herself which causes her to act like a bit of an asshole. If you want a sexual awakening journey through porn, this is the fic for you!

First post to share some favourite fanarts, mostly from tumblr. All are safe for work unless otherwise stated.

1. The Witcher: Yennefer/Geralt (+ Roach) by astrolunos
Me, my husband and his 1000 pound horse. It makes me laugh a lot.

2. DC: Harley Quinn by za-ra-h
Really stunning art of Harley in some period clothing.

3. Killing Eve: Villanelle/Eve by hoffmanpictures
There's lots of great KE fanart but this has to be my favourite. I particularly like the way it uses colour.

4. Twin Peaks: Pinned Down by delina
Audrey/Cooper. NSFW. Really hot, fantastically detailed piece of art.

5. Star Wars: Kylo Ren & Leia by mythoughtcrime
Amazing role reversal AU with Leia as a sith and Kylo as a jedi. The artist has actually done a few panels for this AU that are linked in the original post.

Two recs for fanart, both watercolors with a floral theme:

Decorative Effusions by

mific
due South, m/m, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, fanart, SFW

This is from Flower Crown Day 2020 and shows Fraser and Ray appropriately adorned. The crowns are beautifully painted, and the facial expressions are priceless.

watercolor portraits of joe pavelski in teal with the golden poppy of california and in green with the yellow rose of texas by

18minutemajor
Hockey, gen, Joe Pavelski, fanart, SFW

I love the use of the flowers to symbolize his old and new teams, and how the flowers as well as the uniform colors shade onto his face which to me suggests something about how big a role being part of a team has on a player's identity.
