april fools recs

[bedlamsbard]

My favorite April Fool's headline I've seen today is this one, from my university: University of Leicester announces search for King Richard IV.

The search for Richard IV however presents a far greater challenge in that there is no known historical account of the King's burial. Or death. Or life.

Or indeed any mention of him at all.

Obviously the only possible rec theme for today's Hobbit art rec set is: AUs! And it's a double set because I couldn't decide.

Caveats: No genderfuck (with one exception because it wasn't the main theme), no canon AUs, and no fic-related fanart; those are all saved for different rec sets. Also, no schoolgirls, animals, or animal parts; straight-up AUs.
