recthethingEvery Thursday, we have a community recs 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 to make posts of your own, or if you're shy. ;)
(But don't forget, you can most deffo make posts of your own 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.

Pretty lulzy fic that'd be familiar to anyone who has gone of a food run late at night. Good banter too.

I really like the way this fic explores what it's like to finally accept something about yourself. The romance between Yoongi and Jimin is, at times, angsty (especially at the BIG REVEAL MOMENT), but there's an overall maturity that keeps the DRAHMAZ from going OTT.
Adding to that, I also enjoyed seeing several kinds of sexualities and gender identities represented in the story as well as how the fic addressed the idea of a queer community vs. the reality of said group.

Summary: Wei Wuxian's magic isn't very impressive, but he loves his gift. His ability to bring art to life isn't going to save the world, but he likes making people's lives more colorful with animated tattoos. He helps people, too, helps remove soul marks with his unique magic. As he prepares for one of these appointments, he braces for yet another sad story. To his surprise, this one isn't - until he sees his own soul mark on his client. (Incredibly interesting magic powers/soulmate AU with amazing world building)
Gusu Lan Restorations series by fuddy_duddy (rainier_day) (2 works currently, 27k in total)
Summary for first fic: A stranger shows up at the studio with a heavily damaged painting and Sizhui wonders if it was a mistake to accept the job on his father's behalf. (Completely IC and wonderful modern art AU. The second fic has the juniors hilariously conspiring to figure out WWX and LWJ's relationship. So well done.)
monsters cannot break her stride by Stratisphyre (3.5k)
Summary snippet: In the last days of a losing battle, Lan Xichen seeks out the only person potentially capable of helping turn the tides against Wen Ruohan. (absolutely fascinating JYL lives AU that I will not spoil any aspect of other than to say the worldbuilding, plot and characterizations were all wonderful)

Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: McCoy & Kirk & Spock
Summary: McCoy's transport is destroyed in what appears to be a containment field explosion, leaving no known survivors. The truth, however, is not so simple as that ...
Reccer's Note: First off, this story is as good as any of the Trek tie-in novels I have read (I read the whole thing in one day, because I couldn't stop reading it). It is about McCoy, who is kidnapped by non-federation aliens who force him to work for them. Meanwhile, Kirk, Spock and everyone on the ship, are grieving for McCoy, because they think he died in an explosion. The author does an excellent job balancing action and character moments, and their pacing is really good. They do not sugarcoat over how traumatic this situation is for Bones, they give it space to breath, while also moving the plot forward, which is not always an easy task. Although the story is McCoy focused the writer also does a good job with Spock and Kirk, and the characterization of everyone felt on point. Plus, they added some really interesting original characters. Also, I like that they took the time to explore the aftermath of such a situation, and not just skim over it, like they would have at the end of an episode. Anyways, if you are a fan of McCoy at all please give this one a read.

An interesting format (second person instructional) focusing on Eliot's life.
Flirting Lessons by tablelamp (1061 words)
Sophie/Parker is a ship I find is often written OOC to make it work, but this one is surprisingly very in-character and well-written, so if femslash is your thing, you'll probably enjoy this one.

This was really an awesome vid. The song, which I hadn't heard, was fitting, and the editing is excellent. MCU winterwidow has always been an intriguing idea to me and this made me want more.
