snickfic: Buffy looking over her shoulder (Marko plot)
[personal profile] snickfic
Hi, all! In case you missed it, we have a week of Rectember themes here.

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.
misbegotten: Erik and Charles from X-Men: First Class (XM Erik and Charles)
[personal profile] misbegotten
X-Men's Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr are one of my favorite relationships, and there is a wealth of great stories from which to choose. These recs are some of the ones that I've read over and over.

6 stories in no particular order )

Side by Side by Rebecca @ Ao3 is an adorable pair skating fanart of Leo and Guanghong from Yuri on Ice. It was drawn for the Rare Male Slash Exchange, and I don't know if it was crossposted anywhere else.

Super sweet, catches the intimacy of this kind of skating! Kind of mimics the anime's style a bit, which is neat. Always lovely to see something new with this rare pairing. <3
kingstoken: Joe/Nicky from The Old Guard (Joe Nicky)

My newest favourite ship is TOS Spones, so here are a few recs

Not Everything Happens Quickly by OnlySlightlyObsessed1
Word Count: 8722 words
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: If Spock could only put the incident from his mind and focus on his work, he would be content. He did not have infinite time to spend on personal reflection.
Reccer's Note: McCoy almost dies and Spock can't figure out why the incident still bothers him so much. I really like the author's writing of Spock's self reflection and thought process and his realization that he has feelings for McCoy.

Nothing By Halves by therev
Word Count: 10608 words
Rating: M
Warnings: Choose No to Use warnings
Summary: McCoy wishes he could talk to Spock's human half. After a transporter malfunction, he can.
Reccer's Note: Another transporter accident, in this one Spock is split into two people, a human Spock and a Vulcan Spock, and things get a little complicated when McCoy starts to have feelings for Spock's human half. This one had the feeling of a trek episode, with the added bonus of Spones feelings.

Mirror, Mirror by twisting_vine_x
Word Count: 17683 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Choose No to Use warnings
Summary: Dealing with the aftermath of mirror!Spock’s forced mindmeld
Reccer's Note: I'm a sucker for anything that deals with the aftermath of McCoy's mind-rape by Mirror!Spock. McCoy is not dealing with his trauma well, plus he has residual effects from the meld left in his mind, Spock realizes that something is wrong and confronts McCoy. This fic handles McCoy's trauma well, and also has good descriptions of mind melds.

Surgeon's Mate by belmanoir
Word Count: 4590 words
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: Spock likes McCoy. McCoy won't take a hint.
Reccer's Note: Dealing with the aftermath of "Bread and Circuses", a great pining Spock fic, with McCoy being under the mistaken impression that Spock is pining for Kirk.

Negativity Bias by OnlySlightlyObsessed1
Word Count: 6222 words
Rating: M
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: It's a common human characteristic to interpret ambiguity as a negative. McCoy is several assumptions ahead of Spock
Reccer's Note: The fic begins during the episode "Operation Annihilate", the author changes the reason for Spock's eyesight returning, and I think I like their explanation better than the show's. I also really like that in this fic McCoy reveals his feelings, although he thinks that Spock isn't interested, so he thinks he is going to be stoic about the whole thing, which just confuses Spock.
frausorge: Benton Fraser in his Mountie uniform and Ray Kowalski wearing his shoulder holster, standing on opposite sides of an opened door, with some dots of light scattered over the image (getting there)

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

Decorative Effusions by [archiveofourown.org profile] 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 [tumblr.com profile] 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.
