Community Recs post!

Every 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 deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. :D!)

So what cool fanvid/podfic/fanart/fic have we discovered this week? Leave a comment below. Anon comment is enabled.

Thanks for these, particularly liked the first one!
kingstoken: (Animated Aziraphale Crowley)

One good Omens fic and One Superman & Lois fic

[personal profile] kingstoken 2021-08-19 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
All the Dinners by JoifulDreaming
Word Count: 890
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: G
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: It was right and it was how it should be and in that moment it was a travesty that it had not already been.
Reccer's Note: Aziraphale decides he wants Crowley to be a constant part of his life. I love the banter in this little fic, and how Aziraphale just kind of springs the idea on an unsuspecting Crowley.

We've Got You Covered by Beth4LC
Word Count: 1665
Fandom: Superman & Lois
Rating: G
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (but there is nothing bad in here)
Relationships: Lois/Clark (background)
Summary: When Lois Lane tries to make an insurance claim for one car bomb too many, she discovers that she is famous for more than just her reporting.
Reccer's Note: I don't think you need to have watched the show to enjoy this fic, just as long as you are aware of Lois Lane, Clark Kent and the general scraps they get themselves into. It is an outsider POV of the Kent's insurance customer service rep, and it is somewhat realistic and humorous.

Ha! The Superman and Lois one was entertaining.

Two exchanges revealed this week and I didn't have a chance to finish making my way through either, but have some recs from both:

WDLF5 (assorted fandoms, still anon)

due South- Takes a Pet Like No Problem (1k)
Summary: Ray's late to a crime scene. Fraser already has plans. (Ray's snark in this is a thing of beauty)

The Losers - Apocalypse With a Side of Beer (1k)
Summary Snippet: “I should have known. The whole world goes to shit and you’re just sitting here on your goddamn porch like nothing’s happened.” (It might be the end, but Jensen and Cougar together again. Melancholic but sweet)

The Untamed- Burden to Bear (500 words)
Summary: Lan Wangji knows if he were ever to ask, Wei Ying would offer him a liar’s smile in return, just as he offers to everyone else. And that, more than anything, Lan Wangji cannot abide. He will not be one more thing for Wei Ying to run from. (LWJ trying to navigate WWX's PTSD and help where he can. So excellent)

White Collar- goal-oriented projects (3k)
Summary: “You really never wanted to join Starfleet?” Neal asked one day over dinner, swirling his glass of Andorian wine.

Maybe he shouldn't have been there, sitting at Peter and El’s dining table, bringing them dessert and bottles of premium off-world alcohol. But Peter had probably missed his window of opportunity for keeping Neal Caffrey out of his home that first week they’d had him out. And now El liked him and his paranoid little Trill friend, so semi-standing Thursday night dinners it was. (wonderful and completely IC star trek fusion)

The Witcher throw a granny square to your witcher (absolutely hilarious art)

and 10 Year Promise - Pingxie Exchange (Wu Xie/Xiaoge pairing from The Grave Robbers' Chronicles related fandoms including the book series "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and the Cdramas: Lost Tomb, Ultimate Note and Lost Tomb Reboot) - also still anon

The Grief That Does Not Speak (6k)
Summary: Zhang Qiling takes care of Wu Xie, the best ways he knows how. (Wonderful angsty, yet sweet, h/c)

Collision Course (2.5k)
Summary: Wu Xie keeps finding Xiaoge shirtless. He's overjoyed Xiaoge is comfortable at home with him and Pangzi, but he also thinks he might combust. If a heart attack doesn't take him first, that is. (Hilarious)

The Real Ghosts of Rain Village (4k)
Summary: A film crew come to Rain Village, and Wu Xie proves unable to resist temptation. (Nice little nod to one of the shows' actors and cute character's responses to a star filming near by)

By any other name (17k)
Summary: Wu Xie is trying to be a normal, reasonable person about letting Xiaoge go on a job without him. One missed check-in leads Wu Xie back into his old habit of dropping everything to chase Xiaoge across China.

The Xiaoge he found wasn't quite the one he lost. (Amazing animal transformation fic, wonderful read)

august flies quickly (3k)
Summary: with autumn breezes brings change to the monotonous spin of the clock. or, zhang qiling meets the eyes of a stranger from across a train platform. (Paperman inspired AU, very sweet)

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. (2k)
Summary: "Xiaoge," whispers Wu Xie. His voice cuts through the silence like a sharp knife. It almost sounds healthy. Wu Xie gropes blindly till his cold hand finds Zhang Qiling’s gloved one. If it were anyone else he would quickly extract his hand from the hold, but this is Wu Xie: the exception to most everything in Zhang Qiling's life. So, he holds the offered hand tightly, as if his iron will alone can drag Wu Xie back from the brink of death. (beautiful missing scene from Reboot)

Going Home (3k)
Summary Snippet: In which Wu Xie is being a moron and everyone is done with his bullshit. (everyone's reactions were so utterly hilarious)

like you would do for one you love (2k)
Summary Snippet: Wu Xie hated the way Xiaoge—still, after losing all of his memories—was surprised that anyone cared what happened to him. (wonderful h/c and very sweet)


Also, a favorite Untamed/MDZS author of mine posted a new work that I just have to rec:

Dear Fellow Traveler by Netrixie (14k)
Summary Snippet: “Good morning, Wei Ying.”

Wei Ying groaned at the words, pulled the thin blanket over his head and pretended to still be asleep. Lan Zhan’s soft chuckle was easily heard through the material and Wei Ying peered out from beneath the sheet, his breath catching at the sight of Lan Zhan’s serene smile. (delightful WWX was raised by his parents with Baoshan Sanren as his grandmaster fic)

Fanart:

And the sun shined on them again by [twitter.com profile] keiidakamya (MCU/Loki (TV), Thor & Loki)
Awesome comics where Loki finds Endgame Thor (set during those 5 years). Great art and it just gives you all the feelings.

Captain Carter by [tumblr.com profile] thecoolsquirrel (MCU/What If ...?, Peggy Carter)
Beautiful drawing of Peggy.

Captain Carter by [tumblr.com profile] asgrony (MCU/What If ...?, Peggy Carter)
Another lovely art of Peggy in her costume. Especially love the details on her hair.

A badass space princess and her scoundrel by [tumblr.com profile] mellendraws (Star Wars, Han/Leia)
Great art of these two. Love the style and really everything about it.

I saw that Loki comic floating around this week, and it gave me so many feels, it's lovely, and feels true to character
svgurl: (avengers: thor)

[personal profile] svgurl 2021-08-19 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Same! I saw it on Tumblr and it was just amazing. I haven't watched the Loki TV show but it felt in character to me as well and I loved how they had it be Endgame Thor that he found. Artist did an excellent job.

[personal profile] yourlibrarian 2021-08-19 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, love that Han and Leia one. And the comic was wonderful! Thanks for the recs.

[personal profile] svgurl 2021-08-20 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It was very sweet. And the comics was one of the best things I saw all week for sure. No problem! Thanks for letting me know what you thought. :D

[personal profile] svgurl 2021-08-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem! It really was. I love softer moments between those two and the art was very pretty. :D

Locked Tomb rec

[personal profile] isis 2021-08-19 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I really enjoyed Your Necro Questions Answered by [archiveofourown.org profile] Magichorse - T-rated, background Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus established relationship Summary: Syndicated columnist "Nav the Cav" offers a sympathetic ear to cavaliers across the galaxy and dispenses practical, no-nonsense, real talk advice on how to properly manage and care for your necromancer.

It's in the format of an advice column, funny and sly, and the appearances from Camilla, Palamedes, and some of the other characters made me giggle.

Great art and gif sets. In the last Loki gif set there is an image of him in a fur trimmed cape, I don't remember this, do you know what it is from?
yourlibrarian: Loki in Chains (AVEN-LokiChains-eikon.jpg)

[personal profile] yourlibrarian 2021-08-19 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I do! This was a deleted scene from Thor 2, which occurs just before Frigga appears to Loki in his cell. In it, he imagines himself as king of Asgard which (I imagine) was written as foreshadowing about how the film ends.
kingstoken: (Loki)

[personal profile] kingstoken 2021-08-19 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I never knew about that scene, thank you.

I am once again here to rec my bestie [personal profile] athenrys's fic with Unintentional Brunch and a Hyena which is a Harley Quinn/Rick Flag oneshot set post-BOP (that's my best guess because I don't usually go here). It's hella awkward yet fluffy and I adore it.

And then I'm pretty sure that I haven't rec'd the following fic from [archiveofourown.org profile] ameliaisland - A Raven and a Dove which is an Alina Starkov/The Darkling fic from The Grisha Trilogy and/or Shadow & Bone (TV). Chapter 4 just came out and I'm 👀 so captivated.

[personal profile] graveexcitement 2021-08-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)

i'm also here with some WDLF recs (several of which were gifts for me ^u^):

ATLA - Should Have Read More History Books (1.9k, gen)
After an unexpected trip through time, Aang decides to change history.

One problem. He slept through most of history.

BNHA - Whose Eyes Show The Road (700w, gen)
"Sensei," Midoriya said, "I need you to listen carefully. We have eight minutes before this loop resets. I'll remember; you won't."

Shouta pinched the bridge of his nose then looked down at his empty cup. Eight minutes wasn't even long enough to make more coffee. "How many times?"

BNHA - Twilight Weaving Morning (3.6k, Bakugou/Uraraka)
"Well, fuck," Bakugo Katsuki said. "You're supposed to be eighteen months old." Behind the words, Ochako heard him saying You're supposed to be dead. I thought you were.

Ochako wondered if he'd heard the shadow of the same words behind what she'd said. "I suppose the back in time thing is an obvious Hail Mary route. Did you have a plan? At all?"

Star Wars - Conspiracies (1k, gen)
CC-1010 died on Mustafar, strangled by Vader. Fox woke up in his office in the Senate building with Rex and General Skywalker.

Star Wars - Jedi Spice Tricks (2k, Finn/Poe)
Finn shakes his head. "I can't read your mind. We've been over this." Poe has a strange, definitely outsized appreciation for Finn's Force-sensitivity, such as it is.

Some errands, some toking, some makeouts: life could be a lot worse.

Stranger Things (fused with Locked Tomb Trilogy) - Ghostbusters (800w, Will/Eleven/Mike)
The twin necromancers of the Sixth get into plenty of trouble together. Good thing they have a loyal cav to get them out.

Zero Escape - Sixteen Children, No Answers (600w, gen)
An in universe write up of the first nonary game as an r/unsolved mysteries post.

Original Work - In The Walls (1.7k, gen)
Taking care of a feral cat colony isn't that difficult, except when a haunted house is involved.
