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 podfics/fics/fancraftss/fanarts/fanvids/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

Have I Got News For You May 7th, 1862 by [archiveofourown.org profile] Thorya
Historical RPF, Have I Got News For You

Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, and James Clerk Maxwell take part in a topical news quiz, and it's hilarious. This follows the format of HIGNFY, but I don't think you need to be familiar with the show to understand what's going on. Just enjoy jokes about the uselessness of politicians and Nightingale berating Darwin for being an idiot. I was in stitches.


As Brothers by [archiveofourown.org profile] Linsky
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Max Engelman/Henry Sugar

Henry is a card sharp who donates most of his winnings to orphanages. When the casinos become suspicious of his good luck, he hires his friend Max, a make up artist, to create elaborate disguises for him.

That's all you need to know to follow this fun story in which our heroes have to fake a relationship to deflect the attention of the mob. The author has an uncanny ability to imitate Roald Dahl's narrative voice, and it makes such a satisfying slashy sequel to canon.


So Many Miles and So Long by [archiveofourown.org profile] missmollyetc
The Lost World - Arthur Conan Doyle, Edward Malone/John Roxton

After their adventures in South America, Ned visits Lord John at home and finds what he's been looking for all along. I love the gorgeous, vivid descriptions in this, and the author has a really deft touch with dialogue, packing a lot into a few words.


a future not yet extinguished by [archiveofourown.org profile] Melody_Jade
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Li Mu Bai/Yu Xiu Lian

If you've seen the film: please enjoy this wonderful fix-it for the terrible, no good, very bad canon ending. If you haven't seen the film: please enjoy this story of a woman saving the life of the man she's been in love with for decades and then riding off with him into the sunset.


Major Arcana XXII and XXII by [archiveofourown.org profile] CorpseBrigadier
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead – Stoppard

A seriously gorgeous piece of art that imagines Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as tarot cards. I loved the way it plays with probability in the style of canon, and there are so many insightful little details – check out the cool skull coins at the bottom of each card.
