recthethingEvery 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 fics/fancrafts/fanvids/fanarts/podfics/some other kind of fanwork 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

Date: 2023-08-03 02:08 pm (UTC)Sango/Kikyou (with mentions of Inuyasha/Kikyou and Sango/Kohaku), 1383 words, rated E
More of a rediscovery here... I just revisited this story this week, but I've read it many times over the years, and cannot recommend it enough. It's dark and strange and presents a very messed up vision of Kikyou and Sango (among other characters). This is the story that sold me on Sango/Kikyou in all its fucked-up glory. Paynesgrey has written a large collection of IY fic over the years, and it is all very good!

Rating: Mature

Relationships: Shauna Shipman & Taissa Turner
Characters: Shauna Shipman, Taissa Turner, Yellowjackets (TV) Ensemble
Additional Tags: Psychological Trauma, Hallucinations, canon-typical weirdness, Manicures & Pedicures, Mild Blood
Summary: Taissa Turner, like the rest of the Yellowjackets, is not someone Shauna likes to remember. If anything when it comes to the Wilderness and those who lived there with her, she makes an effort in the opposite direction and calls it notes toward a forgetting. / (twenty years after the Wilderness, Shauna Sadecki remembers. shit gets a little bit weird)
The Wilds
(A soft friendship during a traumatic time.)
#1 Bros Agenda (672 words) by minicarlos

Relationships: Josh Herbert & Kirin O’Connor

Summary: Maybe this is enough. Just bros being bros.
The Witcher (TV)
(Speaking of 'wonderfully disturbing' fics... Well, this one is far less bizarre and more straightforwardly horrifying.)
The Mercy of a Good Leader (1067 words) by Runarelle
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon & Jaskier | Dandelion
Characters: Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, Jaskier | Dandelion
Additional Tags: Blood and Violence, Stabbing, One Shot, Feral Jaskier | Dandelion, Feral Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, Protective Jaskier | Dandelion
Summary: They may be mere humans, on the run, tired and a little filthy. They may look like easy, ripe targets. But Cirilla had been raised by the Lioness of Cintra, and Jaskier had traveled for over two decades with a witcher who had once carried the moniker of Butcher. / Or / Two Nilfgaardian soldiers get lucky, and then they get very, very unlucky.
(This is very heavy and emotional, and amazingly written!)
A Father’s Demons (3030 words) by Chancy_Lurking

Relationships: Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon & Lambert, Lambert & Vesemir (The Witcher)

Summary: Ciri’s knees almost buckle, the blood draining from her face and her scent going sour with pain and fear. He catches her by the arm reflexively, startled when she staggers, but that appears to make it worse. Geralt whips around to look at her when she can’t quite smother the pained sound in the back of her throat, but she instantly stands up straighter when she meets his gaze. She doesn’t pull out of Lambert’s grasp, though, just stands there, gritting her teeth and shaking. / Lambert lets go of her arm, takes a step back. “Does that hurt?” he asks, because he hadn’t even hit her that hard, what the fuck? / Ciri blinks at him, looking a little dazed on top of being ashen. “Isn’t… that why you did it?” / Rather abruptly, Lambert stops feeling anything at all / (Lambert somehow became everyone he ever hated as a child.)
(After the two angsty stories, some cute and soft fluff is in order. :D)

Date: 2023-08-03 02:33 pm (UTC)An Indestructible Love by Bodldops (12.6k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian does not meet up with Jiang Cheng like he promised, and at first, Jiang Cheng is a very reasonable amount of worried. He does not feel it is at all fair that his worry should only become worse once he's found his misplaced brother. AKA the one where Jiang Cheng has opinions about how much of a mess Wei Wuxian has made of everything, and does his best to get them all out of this disaster in as few pieces as possible. It's a trial. (Really interesting canon-divergent AU with a great Jiang Cheng voice. Has accompanying art)
Going on charmingly by scribbet (21k)
Summary Snippet: a teenage Wei Wuxian arrives at the Lan sect as a (mostly) respected disciple of the Immortal Baoshan Sanren instead of the well-known troublemaker of Yunmeng Jiang. Lan Wangji learns to come to terms with this (eventually). (Wonderful canon divergent fic where WWX comes down from Baoshan Saren's mountain shortly before the Gusu lectures and befriends LWJ while studying there. Has accompanying art)
