I was just going to comment on the [community profile] recthething Thursday post, but I wanted more room to ramble. I've been marathon-reading various tags that don't necessarily go together for the last couple of weeks, so have some completely unthemed, slightly disjointed recs, for Les Miserable (all Les Amis-centric and modern AUs, largely Combeferre ships) and Netflix's Daredevil (all Jack Murdock centric).

It's Thursday and I'm mostly awake and feeling relatively okay compared to earlier this month, so let's do this thing! In case you haven't seen it yet, Reccing Thursday is an attempt to get people to rec things on, you guessed it, Thursdays. Rec a thing, rec many, read recs, have fun.

This week's theme is metafiction about in-universe mysteries and conspiracy theories! I may do more metafiction because I know I have a bunch more metafiction-y things saved but I am failing to find them right now, so here is what I found easily.

MCU: he's been dead for years by [archiveofourown.org profile] cassowarykisses
A fic in the form of a Reddit Unsolved Mysteries thread about the disappearance of Peter Quill as a child. This is just amazing from start to finish; I love the idea of it and the execution is brilliant.

MCU/Buzzfeed Unsolved: The Enduring Mystery of the Winter Soldier by [archiveofourown.org profile] origamidragons
So let me start with the disclaimer that I have never seen a single episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved. I kind of mean to, but I'm also pretty sure I shouldn't, so. But I found fic in the format of it that dives into canon mysteries for various canons and as it turns out, I will sit there and read that like popcorn whether I know the canon at hand or not. (My actual favorite from this person's series is their Supernatural and Stranger Things entries, but I wanted to rec something I knew at least half the canon on.) I just really love this format, and I love the idea of what really happened going dismissed half the time, and I don't know how true to the original show it is, but this person's take on it is fun to read and often makes me laugh.

Umbrella Academy/Buzzfeed Unsolved: The Bizarre Disappearence of Number Five by [archiveofourown.org profile] slytherincosette
And one more of these from another author. I've got very little to add that I didn't just say, I just really like this format, and I find this particularly of interest since you have to allow for a certain amount of weird shit, given the canon, and just... yeah. This is a fun read. :D

It's Thursday rec-day again! I'm having kind of an off day so my commentary may be kept small, but I wanted to throw something up, so have a quartet of Hannibal fic I like a lot.

There will likely be more Hannibal rec posts at some point because wow, I really have a lot more fic saved for this fandom than I thought.

if you will come all the way down with me by [archiveofourown.org profile] coloredink
Quite possibly my singular favorite Hannibal fic of all time. I really love everything this person's ever written, but this fic hits such fantastic notes. I can never get enough of it, and I have finished reading it only to turn around and start it over just because it's so good before.

And So I Raise Me Up From Sleep by [archiveofourown.org profile] bendingsignpost
I have absolutely no idea what actually has gone on in this fic! Which is a bonus, not a negative. It's a head-fuck of a fic and I don't mind rereading it over and over to try and figure it out.

Good Bones by [archiveofourown.org profile] damnslippyplanet
Ghost!Will fic! I'm putting these together as one is the remix of the other, and they're a lovely read together. I really like this premise and the way both these fics work with it, and they've both got some lovely stand-out lines.

Iiiiiit's Thursday! I've missed the last couple cause shit just kept going on. Shit decided to go on today, too, but fuck it, I wanna rec things. If you missed it: We're trying to get people to rec things on Thursdays now. It's great.

This week I offer vids, because I am tired and vids make me happy. I'll try and be more indepth or at least offer a theme next time around, but VIDS. I guess there's a loose theme in that these are all fairly focused vids -- single character or pairing in a single fandom -- but that's about it.

Community: We Never Go Out of Style by [archiveofourown.org profile] fivepercent
[Jeff/Annie; Style by Taylor Swift]
This vid made me realize at some point I started shipping this. It's so well done! And parallels and alternate universes! And everything about the last, like, minute!

Hannibal: Runs in the Family by [archiveofourown.org profile] kiki_miserychic
[Abigail Hobbs character study; Runs in the Family by Amanda Palmer; this... definitely deserves content notes but I'm exhausted and the vidder left none so just take it as a Watch Only If You Can Stand The Show In All Its Gory Glory warning]
ABIGAIL. Abigail Hobbs is my favorite and I would like a million tributes to her that are this goddamn pretty. This song is so hard to match the frantic energy of, and this absolutely manages it while making use of the gorgeous and surreal imagery of the show at the same time.

MCU: after the day's work is done by [archiveofourown.org profile] stardust_rain
[Nick Fury character study; Victory Dance by My Morning Jacket]
Honestly, I don't usually click on vids if I don't know either the vidder or the artist unless something really catches my eye. But there are so few Fury-centric fanworks, let alone vids. And I'm really glad I did this one, because it's gorgeous, and really interesting to boot.

The Umbrella Academy: get up by [archiveofourown.org profile] pollyrepeat
[Five-centric; Get Up by Mother Mother; "Content notes: some graphic violence and strobing/flashing lights."]
I love everything about this vid starting with the summary ("You got dreams, you got dreams, you got dreams, you - oh, shit.") and ending with the everything else. I'm trying to have more to say but the entire thing just sends me into happy-flaily isn't-it-awesome glee.

Aaand I can't find a fifth and I am tired enough not to twitch at it, so I'm going to leave it there for the week. <3!

Via [personal profile] snickfic, an idea:
[personal profile] kore and I were saying how sad we were about the slow decline of reccing culture, and then we said, well, let's try and do something about it. What about making Thursdays the day for reccing, the way we have Reading Wednesdays?
So here is our humble suggestion: today, here or elsewhere on your social media, rec a fanwork or two. A new discovery? An old favorite? Anything goes! And if you're up for it, maybe mention you're doing it for Reccing Thursday. Maybe we can make it a thing. :D


And hey, you know I'm up anything that involves recs. Or might kick my ass in gear and get me reccing regularly. So have a post, and if it interests you, throw up a couple of links, or boost the idea, or just get ready to jump in next week.

I'm reccing on the theme of musical theater canons, in honor of my being nestled into them for the last week or so.

Five recs: Chess x2, Company, Hamilton, and Into the Woods )
