Cross-posted from my journal. Most works are SFW G/T-rated. ☆ on favorites!

First up, my gift!
due South
☆5 Times the Department Almost Found Out About Us + 1 Time Someone Did - Fraser/RayK, 6.4K, M.

I love five times fics, I love secret/hidden relationships, and I love spot-on character voices, and this fic delivered on all counts! A wonderful series of moments between Fraser and Ray. This was a fantastic gift, and I was delighted by it.

Art
Original Work:
Nestled in Green - A very cute mother and baby orangutan. (Sidenote, the recipient, Danceswithorangutans, has a very specific niche and I adore them for it. I love an exchange recipient who knows exactly what they want and requests it with glee.)

Kaiju Love - Cute kaiju and its friend!

Let Virtue Take Her Sacred Nap - Fairy and human - I love the colors and style of this piece. It reminds me very much of a lushly illustrated book.

Fic
Firefly:
Stitches & Needles - Jayne/Simon, 500. Jayne and Simon flirt-insult while Jayne gets stitches. Good voices and verbal sparring.

Winnie-the-Pooh:
☆A Good Day - Piglet and Pooh, 650. Piglet and Pooh have a celebration. Wonderfully reminiscent of the original books. This could easily have been included by Milne.

MCU:
☆Setting a Schedule - Clint/Natasha, 1K. Clint and Natasha are having some trouble finding time to be together, but they find a practical, if unorthodox, solution.

Addams Family
☆The Heart of an Addams is Hard to Refuse (they will hunt you down and throw it through your window) - Wednesday/Joel, 1K. This was absolutely wonderful. Great lines, excellent attention to voices, and an enthralling Addams-ish solution to their quandary. Second favorite fic of the whole exchange.

Babylon 5:
Pick Up the Stones - Delenn and Sinclair, 1.9K. A meditative piece on mourning. Very flowing, and a nice look into Delenn's mind.

Ghosts (US)
The Fall - Trevor/Hetty, 3K. A 5+1 fic exploring the development of their relationship, with a heart-warming ending.

Crossover: Deep Space Nine/Columbo
☆Just One More Thing, Mr. Garak - Garak and Columbo, 1K. A dialogue-only fic, pitch-perfect in voices, and a delight to read.

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

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.
