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

(But don't forget, you're free to make posts 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.

kingstoken: (Kirk Spock McCoy)
From: [personal profile] kingstoken
And We Do It All Again by memories_are_all_we_have
Word Count: 10802 words
Fandom: Star Trek TOS
Rating: T
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, however I would say warning for major character death, but the deaths are not permanent, and a suicide attempt
Relationships: Kirk/Spock/McCoy
Summary: Jim has two big problems right now. The first is that he is hopelessly in love with his First Officer and his Chief Medical Officer, and neither seems to return his feelings. The second is that he's stuck in a time loop where his ship is destroyed and his crew killed, over and over again.
Things can never be simple for James T. Kirk, can they?
Reccer's Note: This fic is compelling, but also sometimes heartbreaking. Kirk is stuck in a time loop where everyday the Enterprise and it's crew are destroyed, and he can't seem to stop it. The author does a great job exploring Kirk's feelings, him realizing how deep his love for Spock and Bones is, and his devastation at his inability to save them over and over again. Plus, Kirk's attempts at trying to stop the time loop all seem plausible, including the days he is depressed and doesn't get out of bed. A great example of the time loop trope.

Untamed/MDZS fics from me again!!

a micro utopia born as the overture plays by tardigradeschool (18k)
Summary snippet: Lan Xichen proposes before the war. Somehow, through the property of transitivity, Wei Wuxian becomes Meng Yao’s problem to solve. (Canon divergent fic with an excellent, slightly different yet still scheming, version of Meng Yao)

Always See Me Through by thatoldeblackmagic (3k)
Summary snippet: Lan Wangji does not have a soul mate. Which is not uncommon or even particularly surprising. (book rather than show based, very interesting take on the soulmate AU, one I haven't seen before)

a journal of impossible things by lily_winterwood (18k)
Summary snippet: "Come to think of it, something was odd,” muses Wei Wuxian, blinking back the sudden recollection as his fingers brush against an old pocket-watch on his desk. “I was a man from the Heavens itself… and you were there, too, as my companion.”

His valet’s eyes twitch a little, but he quickly then covers it with a smile and sets down the teapot. “That would be unheard of, sir.” (fascinating Doctor Who fusion)

Strange Regrets by sunrise_and_death (6.5k, locked to AO3)
Summary snippet: It is hard not to feel guilty about it, after. No matter how much Lan Xichen tells him that it is not his fault, Lan Wangji knows things wouldn’t have happened as they did if he had only acted a little differently. If he had told the Jiang disciples that he was going to ask for an exception to be made, or if he’d let them into the Cloud Recesses to wait while he did so, or if he’d waived the rules entirely... (I just spent two days trying to find this one again- a brilliant LWJ, as an outsider, POV of time travel)
