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 podfic/fic/fanvid/fanarts have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Good Omens Rec

Word Count: 211,245 (currently)
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: E
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Once Upon A Time…
There was a red-haired sorcerer who lived alone in a high tower. And a blond prince who lived in a palace full of people. And they were both of them desperately lonely.
The Kingdoms of Empyrion and the Sorcerers of Apollyon have hated each other for hundreds of years, ever since the Great War. They do not interact, other than to occasionally try to kill one another. And they certainly do not make friends.
Crow is an exhausted sorcerer who just wants everyone to leave him the hell alone: for the Sorcerer’s Council to stop harassing him to live up to his potential, and for wannabe Empyrion Heroes to stop attacking his tower to try and kill him. Until one day when he meets Prince Azra of the High Fells, who doesn’t behave anything like he’s supposed to…
Part fairy tale, part fantasy, all love story. There’s magic, and grand romantic gestures, and Heroes and a handsome Prince, and a Villain. There are even some wild heroics, though not necessarily from who you would expect. At its core it’s simply about two (relatively) sane people living in a mad world who find each other.
Reccer's Notes: I am finally going to rec this amazing fic I have been following it for months, but I didn't want to rec it before the ending, in case it didn't end well, but the story is now complete, except for a promised epilogue from the author. It is hard to describe how lovely this fic is, it is like a warm hug, part fairy tale, part love story, and a sprinkling of adventure. In this AU Crowley is a sorcerer and Aziraphale is a prince, they are both very lonely and build a friendship with each other, even though they are supposed to be on opposite sides. It is deliciously slow burn, it takes these two idiots more than half the story to admit they have feelings for each other, but all the build up is worth it, you'll be cheering in your seat when they finally get together. There are also delightful cameos from other Good Omens characters, Anathema is a witch, and Newt is her cat, Madame Tracy is the local pub owner and Shadwell is her bird! The demons are terrible council members, who won't leave poor Crowley alone, and the angels are Aziraphale's awful brothers, who will not consider his own wishes when it comes to his life. As an added bonus, there is beauitful art placed throughout the story. If you are a fan of fairy tales, light fantasy, idiots pining for each other, or just AUs in general, then please check this out.

I hope you enjoy it! The word count is intimating, but worth it in my opinion, it's even better if you read over time in small chunks.

Busy week so just a handful of art recs from tumblr from me today:

MCU - The Order of The Avengers (Medieval / Heroic Fantasy AU) part 1 and part 2. (really love how some of the characters are depicted)
MCU - Peggy Carter (CA:TFA era and absolutely amazing)
MCU - bucky barns & winter soldier (another oldie but goodie)
Nirvana in Fire - Fei Liu (so lifelike and well done)
MDZS/Untamed - Wei Wuxian (simplistic but beautifully evocative)
Lost Tomb Reboot - Princess Mute (she's the most minor of characters for a tiny fandom but so adorable here I had to rec this)

Ooh, thanks for these. The FMA one sounds like what I didn't know I wanted (how have I never considered that ship?) and the art is really nice, ESPECIALLY the Todoroki. Sometimes art is just magical to me.
