A month of recs and a rug!
I've totally slacked on crosposting my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
recthething recs, oops! Have a bunch of recs from multifandomdoodle (Doctor Who, due South, The Good Place, ST:TOS, Tremors and original works):
Some tumblr and twitter art (Doctor Who, Merlin, MCU, Guardian and MDZS/Untamed) recs:
tumblr art:
Doctor Who - Madame Vastra (this truly captures the character's attitude and spirit)
Merlin - incorrect merlin quotes comic (far too funny and adorable)
Merlin - Arthur (gorgeous)
What We Do in the Shadows - Just like Twilight (made for the zine 'What We Create in the Shadows' Vol.2 this has a lot of different vampire canon easter eggs)
MCU - Dr Strange (Study) - 2022
Sharpe's Rifles - Tired scruffy Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe
Guardian - Zhao Yunlan vs passwords (Hilarious comic)
The Untamed/MDZS - He got there in the end (remember that carving WWX made in his headboard at Lotus Pier? It's come true)
Twitter art:
The Untamed/MDZS - first siege of the burial mounds (absolutely amazing and the evocativeness of this is incredible)
and a ton of MDZS/Untamed fic recs:
I also FINALLY finished the big rug I was working on!
It's huge, not that you can really tell by the picture but it's 43” x 27” (109.22cm x 68.58cm)
recthething recs, oops! Have a bunch of recs from multifandomdoodle (Doctor Who, due South, The Good Place, ST:TOS, Tremors and original works):Doctor Who (TV Movie 1996) - Watching. Summary: From his hiding place, the Doctor watches (absolutely excellent Paul McGann peek)
due South - I'll Walk with You (to the Edge of the World). Summary: Fraser, Ray and Diefenbaker under the northern sky (love the colors)
The Good Place - Elemental. Summary: In any form, Michael can always rock a good bowtie. (hilarious yet accurate)
Star Trek: TOS - Alien Encounter. Summary: "My apologies, Captain, but they appear to have bonded with me." (love all the details)
Tremors - Tongue Twister. Summary: Tremors (1990) is about worms. (what a great graboid!)
Original Works:

- chickvalry. Summary: A knight in shining armor and his magnificent steed, all decked out to joust. (there were all just amazing and hilarious)

The Sculptor by Eleanor_Fenyx (27k, embedded art is also here)
Summary Snippet: Wei Wuxian's ad appeared in the Sunday paper just two days ago: Wanted: Subject to pose as reference for neoclassical academic commission. Tall-ish height and muscular physique helpful, but not necessary. 3 months’ pay at min. Enquire at Yiling Fine Arts Collective if interested. And now, here in his studio on an otherwise normal Tuesday morning, stands the most stunning man Wei Wuxian has ever seen here to do as instructed - enquire. (This lavender marriage 70s art AU just finished, it, and its art, is great!)
A Secret Never Shared by Vrishchika (29k, MDZS Reverse Big Bang: 2022)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji finds a glimmer of hope in a small village. (Absolutely fascinating canon-divergent AU where several years after WWX's death temples start springing up to worship Wèimíng, God of the Unnamed Dead, and after offering prayers, LWJ realizes who this new god truly is.)
Elder, an Aesthetic by MarbleGlove (8k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian always enjoyed picking an aesthetic and really leaning into it. As an adolescent, he was joyous, entitled and high-born; during the war, he was dangerous and threatening. After the war, he was lost. But then he found his new aesthetic: Elder of the Jiang Sect. (absolutely delightful canon-divergent fixit AU)
The Best I Can by Zephyr (ZephyrAndTheSilverfish) (26k)
Summary: ‘Have you heard? Hanguang-jun cut ties with the Lan Sect. Stole a child and ran off into the night.’ In which Wei Wuxian is horribly confused by the world he comes back to and can’t help but be drawn to Lan Wangji once more. Lan Jingyi, for his part, is deeply disappointed by the world he grew up in and just wants to see his best friend again. (well done and plausible canon divergent AU where in order to keep A-Yuan safe LWJ leaves the Lan and canon events play out a little different as a result)
starlight shining brighter Sienne (20k)
Summary: It was no secret that to Lan Jingyi there was no one better than Hanguang-jun (and Wei-qianbei). A glimpse into his life shows how Lan Wangji shaped his life, morals, and interpretation of Lan Sect's rules...and just how high Wangxian set Jingyi's relationship standards (very, very high). (an absolutely delightful Jingyi POV of different times in his life (during his childhood and through post-canon) and his feelings towards LWJ and then WWX, as well as the two of them together)
Linger by apathyinreverie (4k)
Summary: Nie Mingjue’s spirit lingers after his death. He sees everything, all the while unable to interfere or make his presence known in any way, less than a specter of a soul that had once been. It is its own kind torture. Right until Guanyin Temple, where everything comes to light, and Wei Wuxian finally puts his spirit to rest, finally leaving him to sleep forevermore. ...or so Mingjue had assumed. (A mix of a really great NMJ POV post-his death for the first half of the fic and then look at how he changes things)
To lurk, to lie in wait by trippednfell (124.5k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian thought he had his life figured out. Work as an emergency room doctor on shift 2-3 times per week. Help Jiang Cheng take care of Jin Ling. Swallow down any other ambition or desire because it just didn't matter. But then, Lan Sizhui entered his life, along with his infuriating, enigmatic father. And everything Wei Wuxian had planned out for his life had to change. (wonderfully detailed modern-with-magic hung jing WWX (and more) fic)
