Community Recs Post!

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 fancrafts/fanvids/podfics/fanarts/fics/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.

Two interesting modern AU MDZS/Untamed fic recs from me today:

For the Love of Quilting by Scrippio (5k)
Summary: In which Lan Zhan makes a friend at a quilt show. (cute modern AU)

Long Road Home by ValiantBarnes (Cimila) (58k)
Summary: Wèi Yīng points them east, when the dust has settled and it's just him and A-Yuàn left. East, towards the home he once had in Yúnmèng. He hasn't been further east than Yílíng city in a decade for a reason. There's nowhere else for him to turn, with the world collapsing around him and everyone else he knows already victim to the hungry dead. Wèi Yīng knows he'll find a safe haven at Lotus Pier; he's even got a nifty little talisman that will guarantee him access, no matter how unwelcome he is. No matter how safe the destination, the journey is a long trip by foot with a five year old.

After an isolated winter, they don't run into Sòng Lán; Sòng Lán runs into them. (I don't usually read zombie apocalypse fics or WWX pairings other than Wangxian, but this one intrigued me, especially when interestingly combined with modern-with-cultivation, great world building and characterization and growth. As a note, despite the summary, the fic is about the trip to Lotus Pier but ends right before they get there. Also, while there's a lot of implied character death, no main character has theirs described.)

I'm a particular fan of how the Lower Decks one was written 😊

A rec-in-progress (aka a rec for an active WiP):

Cuffing Season by [archiveofourown.org profile] StedeBunnett (Our Flag Means Death, Modern Omegaverse AU, Izzy Hands/Lucius Spriggs, rated E, 16k words to date) is currently up to 7/? chapters of unexpected romance and omegaverse smut.

It features omega!Lucius going into heat for the first time after a traumatic incident and approaching an agency to find a temporary partner who isn't going to retraumatize him. The only candidate is alpha!Izzy, who due to his age, size, disability, and penchant for being tied up is seen as less of a threat—and who is experiencing a serious hit to his self-esteem after being left by his partner following the loss of his leg. The two prove surprisingly compatible over the course of an intimate couple of days, with the story playing in the space of power dynamics, service kink, and relationship roles. This is a Lucius who gets to reconnect with a way of being that he once loved and was scared away from, and an Izzy who gets to be a very good boy and valued for qualities that have nothing to do with mobility or physical intimidation. Very sweet, funny and hot so far.

Coming Hame by Fyre
(Our Flag Means Death, General audiences)

Nathaniel Buttons's story: "E’en as a wean, Nathaniel had a love for the sea.
They bided in a wee hoose doon near Leith. His paw spent all his days oot on the waves and his maw gaithered up the catch in her creels to tak them tae the mairket. Salt and fish and the slap o’ the waves was as much a pairt of his life as breathing."

I really enjoyed Take Care by [archiveofourown.org profile] spqr this week. It's a Star Wars original trilogy fic, Luke/Han, set right after Return of the Jedi, about Han dealing with the fall out of Luke's whole new personality and deal and also Luke learning to feel and connect with the world. Really funny, in character, emotional and fun read.

Anyone miss me? Lol, I intended to post a Leverage rec last week - and the week got away from me, and before I knew it, it was the next week. So here is one very belated rec:

When the Past Comes Calling...With Automatic Weapons by Telaryn (8075 words)
A great post-S5 fic with a lot of Quinn POV.
