I have a few different rec lists, so here is a handy-dandy post linking you to all of them. Be warned, I am a huge fan of smut and almost all of my recs are rated R or NC-17, so if you are looking for lower-rated fics, this is not the place for you. This is also almost exclusively slash pairings, though every once in awhile a het pairing manages to sneak its way in there.

I also dabble in fanfic writing, so if you're interested, you can find that HERE.

If you are curious about my likes/dislikes/preferences in fic because you want to make me something (or because you're just nosy), you can find those HERE.

I think I mentioned earlier that I've gotten into Spartacus recently. I am basically in love with Agron and Nasir, who are a canon gay couple in the last two seasons. They are awesome and adorable and I naturally had to find fic!

In the Warnings section of each entry I have different tags, so if you are looking for something specific (like "established relationship" for example) just ctrl+f and enter your tag and it should highlight the relevant entries!

Day 4

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Create something.

I just started by new job today, so I do not have time to write anything. I do, however, have some multi-fandom recs of some non-HP fics I read and loved recently.

Title: Cherry Ride
Author: [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge | favicon copperbadge
Pairings: Steve/Tony
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 9,348
Content/Notes AU: Alternate First Meeting, bottom!steve, car!sex, identity!porn
Summary: A SHIELD agent named Roger Stevens told Tony that his nickname was "Cap". Tony didn't connect the dots until it was much, much too late.
Oh this was super hot! Loved the slight twist on canon with Tony unknowing meeting up with Steve pre-avengers. :)


Title: it's so surprisingly easy now
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tryslora
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,057

Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,024
Content/Warnings: intercrural!sex
Summary: Eric came to a halt, finally noticing what was draped over the bare, stripped mattress. He frowned, picking it up. A jacket.
Lovely, gentle fic that had Jack and Bitty coming together after Jack graduated. The pining is lovely, as is the easy acceptance from them both that they are a thing that is happening.

Title: Drop It While It's Hot
Author: favicon esterbrook
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 15,214
Content/Warnings: outdoor!sex
Summary: As soon as the screen goes dark, Bitty throws himself backwards onto his bed, pulls a pillow over his face, and screams into it. Jack is coming to visit in less than a month! Practically tomorrow! Which is a million years from now!
He's going to need more butter.
Such a sweet fic that takes place the summer after Jack graduates. Beautiful characterizations and the build was fabulous.


Title: Unplanned
Author: favicon stubbornjerk
Pairing: Adam/Ronan
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 2,237
Content/Warnings: established relationship, praise!kink, bottom!ronan
Summary: The thing about being Ronan Lynch is that no one expects you to do something good. The thing about dating Ronan Lynch is that Adam doesn't expect him to be romantic. Or: the two times that Ronan tried his experiment and the one time it actually worked.
This was lovely. Gorgeous and super hot.


Title: i'm the one for your fire (part 8 in the Of Magic and Monsters Series)
Author: favicon venomedveins
Pairing: Agron/Nasir, background pairings

Content/Warnings: AU: Fairy Tale & Fantasy, creature!fic, magic!nasir, werewolf!agron, marriage!fic, rough sex, bottom!nasir, MPREG
Summary: The Wolf Festival is finally here. Agron and Nasir must deal with being newly crowned royals.
Another awesome update! I liked how the Gerulf thread was closed up, and some new villains perfectly setup for the next installment. This definitely seemed like the calm before the storm, but what a sexy calm it was!


Title: Logical Erotics
Author: [livejournal.com profile] entrenous88
Pairing(s): James T. Kirk/Spock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 63,458
Content/Warnings: AU: Academy, teacher/student relationship, semi-public!sex, bottom!kirk, dub con elements
Summary: Just returned from a difficult space mission and about to begin teaching at Starfleet Academy, Spock chooses a logical way to relieve stress: a sexual encounter with someone he'll never meet again. But when Spock discovers his partner of one night is Jim Kirk, a promising new cadet at Starfleet, he's torn between his rational decision to avoid intimate relationships and his increasing fascination with Jim. As Spock's normally orderly life starts to spin out of control, will his obsession with Jim prove his salvation or his undoing?
Such an awesome, sexy Academy AU! Loved the teacher/student aspect and the connection between Jim and Spock was seriously hot. Fabulous read and a fantastic ending.


Title: finger on the trigger and all fired up
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tryslora
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,414
Warnings: AU: Omega!verse, AU: Porn, cop!derek, cop!stiles, knotting, bottom!stiles, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, omega!stiles, rimming, heat cycles, tw fall harvest 2015
Summary: Derek goes undercover to expose a drug trafficking ring running inside of a porn studio. What he finds is Stiles.
Oh JFC this was too damn hot. Omega!Verse and cops and porn shoots and basically just amazing.

Title: You're a Mess, But You're a Catch to Me
Author: favicon jsea
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 11,634
Warnings: AU: Omega!verse, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, omega!stiles, heat cycles, tw fall harvest 2015
Summary: The laws are clear: omegas are required to have an alpha guardian. So when the sheriff gets shot, Derek is roped in to stepping up as Stiles' temporary alpha while he recovers.
Derek knew it was going to be a bad idea, but he never could have predicted all of the ways that Stiles would end up turning his life upside down.
Really lovely fic with Omega!Stiles having to stay with Derek because his dad is hurt, and of course Derek is prickly and likes his space, but ends up warming up to the charming Stiles. Really sweet and enjoyable read.

Title: Come to my Window Series (4 Fics)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tryslora
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 13,315 total
Warnings: underage, mates, rimming, accidental bonding
Summary: It's all Scott's fault, but if he's honest, Stiles doesn't mind if it means Stiles gets Derek in the end. Of course, there are complications along the way.
Super fabulous series with Derek and Stiles having some kind of connection, but Derek is, of course, reluctant to seal the deal for ~reasons~/ Cue Stiles doing everything he can to come up with a loophole.

Title: Alone Together
Author: favicon asocialfauxpas
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 16,277
Warnings: AU: Royalty, AU: Fantasy, prince!derek, mermaid!stiles, wolf!derek, tw fall harvest 2015

In between bouts of writing and proofing for [livejournal.com profile] hp_nextgen_fest and [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised, I spent November reading through various fandoms. Normally I would probably separate some of these recs out into different posts, but since it's nearing the end of the month, I figured I'd just lump them all together. :)

Title: Driving Me Wild
Author: favicon nautilicious
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,561
Summary: Bittle swings his leg over the seat, his thighs spreading open. Jack swallows. (Or, Jack sees Bitty on a motorcycle and it ignites his pants pretty much on the spot.)
Oh this was so fantastic! Bitty on a motorcycle was amazing, and Jack's reaction were perfect.

Title: gonna wanna make it move
Author: favicon buchanan
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 8,173
Content/Warnings: fake/pretend relationship, thanksgiving, holiday!fic
Summary: He spends so much time thinking ahead--being careful, holding onto everything so tightly with his shaking hands--that it’s easy to forget that he’s an honest to god dipshit.
Really sweet fic with pretend dating and Jack realizing that maybe he deserves to have Bitty for real.

Title: Helpless
Author: [livejournal.com profile] emmagrant01 | favicon emmagrant01
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack, background Lardo/Shitty
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 19,763
Content/Warnings: shower!sex, rimming, implied switching
Summary: “So we should ask Bits and Lardo to come with us to New York,” Shitty said.
Jack turned to look at him, frowning. “Seriously?”
“Yeah, man. I mean, I know this was supposed to be just you and me, but… We both know those two are gonna be part of our lives after graduation. It’d just be like. Getting a head start on it.”
Oh this is so perfect! Loved all of them going on a trip to New York and finally making their moves. The characterizations were perfect here, and the connection between Bitty and Jack was fantastic. Super fucking hot, and just a really satisfying and believable fic.

Title: All Saints
Author: favicon shortlimbs
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack, background Dex/Nursey
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 21,532
Content/Warnings: shared bed, halloween!fic
Summary: Halloween; when even the most fractured families come together. Truly, the most wonderful time of the year.
Oh my goodness this is so freaking adorable! Takes place during the beginning of Bitty's senior year, and I just loved the relationships between everybody here. All the characters felt so believable, and the developing relationship between Eric and Jack was especially lovely.


Title: Exeunt, Pursued By Heteronormativity
Author: favicon psocoptera
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack & Lardo/Shitty, sort of Eric/Jack/Lardo/Shitty
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 35,786
Content/Warnings: outsider POV, het
Summary: Shitty Knight takes a post-graduation road trip. Four friends, six thousand miles, two tents, several embarrassing photos, a giant rabbit, three cops, and a bear.
Really interesting and well written fic. I loved Shitty's POV and the connection between him and Lardo and Jack and Bitty and all of them together was wonderful. I thought Lardo's character was wonderfully characterized, and this fic has one of the best polyamorous-type relationships I've read. Hard to describe, but I really enjoyed.


Title: Lose It
Author: favicon stubbornjerk
Pairing: Adam/Ronan
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,409
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!adam
Summary: “I can’t believe y’said that,” Adam whispered, eyes still closed. There was a small smile on his lips. Ronan pushed himself up to kiss it.
“I can’t believe you get turned on by romantic shit,” Ronan muttered in reply, kissing Adam’s jaw.
Gorgeous and super hot fic!

Title: Roses Between My Thighs
Author: favicon Jamesina
Pairing: Adam/Ronan
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,162
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!ronan, first time
Summary: Four things that could have ruined them but didn't.
Beautifully written fic and a wonderful connection between Adam and Ronan.


Title: Seven Times Nasir and Agron Failed at Goat Farming, and Seven Times They Didn’t
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,400
Content/Warnings: established relationship, implied bottom!nasir
Summary: As it turns out, goats are hard work and entirely too fond of violent home invasion. 14 goat farm drabbles.
I really need all of the goat-farmer-Nagron fics in my life. This one was brilliant, and I adored all of the snapshots of Nasir and Agron's life after the war (with their goats).

Title: Do Not Wake
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,519
Content/Warnings: established relationship, intergluteal sex, somnophilia, dirty talk, bottom!nasir, post-sex fingering *for me
Summary: It’s late at night and Agron is fucking tired. Nasir is hard to resist, though, even when he’s fast asleep.
Super fabulous somnophilia fic that manages to be dead sexy, and funny, and romantic, and perfectly in character all at once!

Title: The Solace of Day Break
Author: [livejournal.com profile] einfach_mich | favicon einfach_mich
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,111
Content/Warnings: bottom!nasir
Summary: Nasir worries for Agron's safety and wonders at the meaning of a certain kiss.
Great fic that takes place mid season two after that first kiss and shows the possible evolution of their relationship following Agron's return. Sexy and sweet.


Title: Tearing at the Threads
Author: [livejournal.com profile] 1lostoneficspot | favicon 1lostone
Pairing(s): James T. Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, mention of past Kirk/OFCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 21,351
Content/Warnings: bottom!kirk
Summary: Spock and Jim crash-land on a planet, and Jim (rather predictably) is hurt, forcing Spock to confront certain truths that can't possibly be logical.
This was a wonderful fic. We've got hurt!Jim and pining and jealousy and broken bonds that all get resolved with some gooey feels and super hot sex!


Title: Our Memories Are Numbered
Author: favicon rufflefeather
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 23,105
Warnings: memory loss, rimming, implied bottom!stiles
Summary: Stiles’ Jeep grinds to a halt, he sees someone running through the rain, he's not expecting it to be Derek. He's not expecting a Derek without any memories either, or an Alpha pack that's coming for all of them. He probably should've, because lately nothing goes the way he expects.
This is great! Love the amnesia trope here, and how it really makes for a softer, more open Derek. It was cool seeing what he might be like without his past weighing him down, and the connection between Derek and Stiles is electric. Interesting take on the Alpha pack, and overall just a really satisfying and sexy read.

Title: tricks or treats (Part 6 of the Domestic Series )
Author: [livejournal.com profile] thepsychicclam | favicon thepsychicclam
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek, background Allison/Scott, Melissa/Sheriff, Isaac/OFC
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 17,587
Content/Warnings: established relationship, kid!fic, implied switching, shower!sex, dad!derek, dad!stiles, halloween!fic, holiday!fic
Summary: It's Halloween, and Derek and Stiles are dealing with rambunctious Pack kids, a preteen crisis, PTA meetings, and a six year old's meltdown.
Such a sweet update to the series! I liked getting to see more of Gil, and the kids being a little older was super cute. Just some happy fluff to make you smile. :)


Title: Kiss With a Fist
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ellensmithee | favicon Ellen Smithee
Pairing(s): Alaric/Damon
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,196
Content/Warnings: hate!sex
Summary: A missing scene after Alaric punches Damon at the Grill (1x17 "Let the Right One In").
Hot little ficlet with hate!sex in an alley. :D


Title: Blood of My Blood
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ellensmithee | favicon Ellen Smithee
Pairing(s): Damon/Stefan
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,016
Content/Warnings: sibling incest, blood play
Summary: Damon and Stefan work out an issue or two.
Hot little ficlet with hate!sex in an alley. :D

I was sick at the beginning of the month, which mean I had two days with nothing to do but read fic! I took the opportunity to finally read a few of the fics that had been on my to-read list for ages. It was both wonderful and immensely satisfying! Here are some of my favorites from the month in a bunch of different fandoms. :D

rectober banner 4
banner by [livejournal.com profile] nerak_rose


Title: All It Does Is Rain Series (2 Fics)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] theladyingrey42 | favicon theladyingrey42
Pairings: Steve/Tony
Rating: NC-17 overall
Word Count: 19,909 total
Content/Notes first time, bottom!steve
Summary: In which the Avengers rebuild their home, superheroes are more than just the things that made them super, and communication is hard.
Sweet little series with a wonderful Steve and Tony. I liked that the two fics are from different POVs, so we really get inside the character's heads. Great characterizations, and a lovely connection between these two.


Title: A Cure For Boredom
Author: favicon emmagrant01
Pairing: Sherlock/John, John/OMC, John/OFC, John/OFC/OFC, John/OMC/OFC (Please note that Sherlock is present for all of the interactions between John and the OCs)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 81,665
Content/Warnings: switching, bottom!john, bottom!sherlock, light D/s, dom!sherlock, sub!john, threesome (m/m/f and f/m/f), light bondage, blindfolds, first time, sort of open relationship, rimming, dirty talk, double penetration (female), voyeurism, exhibitionism, public!sex
Summary: They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.
I must say that I'm normally not a big fan of threesome/polyamory/open relationship type fics, so I was really unsure bout this one going into it. But, like everybody had assured me, it was brilliant. This is quite *my* Sherlock and John, but I loved them nonetheless. I adored the relationship between Sherlock and John here, the love and trust, and fear and uncertainty of the other's feelings. The sex scenes were smoking hot, but even hotter was how in control of everything Sherlock was. Even though most of the fic is John getting off with other people, Sherlock is an undeniable presence throughout the fic. I thought the ending was great, and very fitting for this Sherlock and John.


Title: Superman For Sale
Author: favicon dm_wyatt
Pairing(s): Clark/Lex, mention of past Clark/OMC and Clark/Lois
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 80,830
Content/Notes: post-rift, future!fic, magic, dub-con, bonding!fic, bottom!clark
Summary: Clark goes missing and Lex tries to figure out why. He ends up "buying" Superman from a kidnapper, who had put him under a spell... Things don't go quite as planned.
Really interesting read! Definitely a little mushy in places and not always the most sophisticated, but I really enjoyed the plot, and I loved Clark and Lex's connection.


Title: Our Days of Blood and Sunset
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 11,130
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!nasir, disability!fic (sort of)
Summary: Nasir knows he should not be angry at someone he’d thought lost forever, someone he loves this much who has been hurt this badly; but he can’t help it, either.
Really beautifully written fic that deals with Nasir's understandably complex feelings about Agron's unexpected return from the dead. It all felt so realistic and believable, and it was really wonderful watching both Nasir and Agron deal with the aftermath of Agron's decision, and seeing them work their way back together.

Title: steal me and shield me (Part 7 of the Of Magic and Monsters Series)
Author: favicon venomedveins
Pairing: Agron/Nasir, other background/past pairings
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 22,051 of 155,638 total
Content/Warnings: AU: Fairy Tale & Fantasy, creature!fic, magic!nasir, werewolf!agron, arranged marriage, rough sex, bottom!nasir, MPREG
Summary: Agron and Nasir are in a race against time as the Wolf Festival approaches and Gerulf's plan begins to be revealed.
Wonderful addition! I liked seeing the Geroff thread wrapped up, but given the introduction of the"Roman" vampires, there is still plenty more to overcome! Super hot, and I adored all of the lovely Nagron moments.

Today I am going to rec ALL THE FANDOMS! But seriously, though. I've been trying to read one longer non-HP fic per week so I can clear out my to-read list, and it's been a lot of fun. :)

Title: the first of many
Author: favicon venvephe
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,828
Content/Warnings: AU:Omega!Verse, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, omega!eggsy, alpha!harry, heat cycles, rimming, bottom!eggsy, knotting, mates, marking, biting, scenting, desk!sex
Summary: Eggsy should have seen this coming.
Looking back, he should have payed more attention to the calendar; he’d been good about taking his suppressants until the last few weeks, when the training exercises and elimination tests had gotten so intense that he’d started to forget the little pills. Dealing with a heat doesn’t seem as horrific after jumping out of an airplane, especially when you’d under the assumption that your ‘chute was faulty, and taking the suppressants was one of those little things that got shuttered off to the side in his mind. If he’d been paying attention it may not have come to - this.
Because Eggsy’s in heat, and there’s only two ways it can go from here.
Crazy hot omega!verse AU with Eggsy unexpectedly going into heat and then him and Harry having some ridiculously hot sex.

Title: Patience and Sheer Determination
Author: favicon blacktofade
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 47,368
Content/Warnings: AU: Alternate First Meeting, fake/pretend relationship, rentboy!eggsy, bottom!eggsy, table!sex, barebacking
Summary: Harry goes undercover to infiltrate the circle of a corrupt overlord and is given Eggsy, a young prostitute, as a token of goodwill. Harry has to live with Eggsy and keep him safe, while maintaining his cover.
Such a brilliant fic! Loved the slight AU, with Harry coming across Eggsy in much less auspicious circumstances. But Eggsy's fire is still more than there, and the chemistry between them is fabulous. Interesting plot, and some seriously lovely relationship development. Plus, hot sex! :D

Title: the parting glass
Author: favicon kirkaut
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy, implied Roxy/Merlin, mention of brief Eggsy/Tilde and past Eggsy/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 48,525
Content/Warnings: AU: Harry Lives, references to past non-con of the rentboy!eggsy variety, rimming, bottom!eggsy
Summary: The words shrivel and die between them.
Harry's chest hitches on an indrawn breath. The contours of his face are cast dramatically in the fiery hues of the street at night, highlighting the wrinkle in his forehead and the soft slope of his chin and the silvery pink of his scar.
He's beautiful, and Eggsy loves him.
“I miss you.” The confession falls. It lands heavily onto the pavement, cracking into the asphalt. “You're alive, you're right in fucking front of me, and I still miss you.”
God, this fic is just gorgeous! I adore he characterization here and Eggsy's reaction to Harry coming back from the dead is both heartbreaking and painfully realistic. Really beautiful build-up and some seriously hot sex!


Title: We Pull These Jobs To Make A Little Money (No One Gets Hurt If They Don't Act Funny)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] leashy_bebes | favicon leashy_bebes
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, Leon/Elena, Will/Freya, Gwen/Lancelot, past Leon/Morgana
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 48,918
Content/Warnings: AU: Modern, AU: Non-Magical, bottom!merlin, implied switching
Summary: Arthur and his friends have been making their money this way for years. It's all they know and they're good enough to get away with it. Merlin grudgingly works in a bank, wishing his days away. Their worlds collide and everything changes.
AKA: Bank robbers of the round table.
OMG this fic is awesome! I love Arthur and his merry band of bank robbers, and adorable Merlin as a bank teller was perfect. I adored the connection between Merlin and Arthur here, and the sex was just unbelievably hot. Really fun plot, and just an all-around super enjoyable read!


Title: Shut Up And Take A Fucking Bath
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,633
Content/Warnings: established relationship, intercrural sex, maassage!fic, dirty talk, bbtp 2015
Summary: Agron has no appreciation for the comforts of a well-appointed bath. Luckily, Nasir is happy to educate. (Such an altruist, that Nasir.)
Nasir teaches Agron about the pleasures of Roman baths and good god is it delicious! Super hot, and I loved both of their voices here.

Title: Revelationes In Tangendo
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,568
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!nasir, rimming, bbtp 2015
Summary: It still feels odd to choose. To be not only allowed but expected to shape his own purpose every day, in little things and large. Who to fight for. Who to break words or take meals with. Who to fuck.
Gorgeous take on the "missing scene" from Season 2 when Mira interrupts. Super hot, and a really fantastic take on Nasir. Just lovely.

Title: Weather the Storm
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Agron/Nasir
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,186
Content/Warnings: established relationship, implied switching, semi-public!sex
Summary: In which Agron and Nasir deal with the snow storm in absolutely the only medically approved way one should ever deal with life-threatening cold. (Also, there’s angsty musings about Castus. If that turns you off, I cannot help you, because Castus is divine and I want a threesome more than I’ve ever wanted a pony, so there.)
Really gorgeous stolen moment between Agron and Nasir during the storm in Mors Indecepta. They both felt beautifully in-character, and Nasir's thoughts on Castus were particularly realistic, if a bit heartachey.


Title: Desperate Games
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldiara | favicon aldiara
Pairing: Barca/Peitros
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,770
Content/Warnings: bottom!barca, implied switching, bbtp 2015
Summary: In a life that requires deception to survive, Pietros is ever bent on truth, and Barca fears every day it might mark their undoing.
Seriously gorgeous writing and an amazingly characterized Barca. Sexy and sweet.


Title: Timeline Series (3 Fics)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] unforgotten | favicon Unforgotten
Pairings: Charles/Erik, implied Alex/Armando
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 31,625
Content/Notes AU: No Beach Divorce (sort of), time travel, bottom!charles, implied switching
Summary: After Magneto of an X2-ish future succeeds in the unthinkable, Charles sends his consciousness back to 1962 to guide Erik away from the path that will lead to the genocide of the human race forty years hence. Charles knows that Erik has always loved him, and intends to use this knowledge + sex to seduce Erik away from his ideals in his youth. There's no way this well-thought-out, sensible, debugged and 100% bulletproof plan can possibly go wrong.
Really cool set of fics that have Charles going back in time when he first met Erik and seducing him for the greater good. Interesting, and funny, and sexy reads!

As usual, I did a little bit of reading in several different fandoms this past month. I actually didn't do a ton of fanfic reading overall, as I was getting work done on some m/m romances. :D

Title: Exact Measurements Required
Author: favicon trilliath
Pairings: Steve/Tony
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 13,350
Summary: That time S.H.I.E.L.D. quartermasters accidentally put Steve's balls in a vise and it goes exactly as well as you'd expect it to. Tony promptly offers to help. Because he's helpful like that. Obviously.
Oh this is so great! Really lovely team dynamics, and the relationship and development between Steve and Tony is fabulous. I love the idea of Tony working on Steve's costume, and the constant adjustment were too funny! :)


Title: Hard-Knock
Author: [livejournal.com profile] yeaka | favicon yeaka
Pairing: Bilbo/Thorin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,622
Notes: bottom!bilbo, public!sex, alpha/beta/omega dynamics
Summary: Bilbo rides the river in Thorin’s barrel, then rides other things.
Quick sexy little ficlet with a dash of omega!verse thrown in!


Title: Hold for the Applause
Author: favicon DivineProjectZero
Pairing: Colin/Taron, background Colin/Livia, mentions of Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 18,393
Content/Warnings: RPF, open relationships, first time, bottom!taron, rimming, fantasy, dirty talk
Summary: The thing is, once Taron sees it, he can’t stop seeing it. (or: the one where Hartwin is to blame for the Firtherton.)
Super awesome, sexy fic that sort of blurs the lines between Hartwin and Firtherton. Super clever, and just a really fabulous read!


Title: Thrill
Author: favicon vorador
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,293
Content/Warnings: dirty talk, semi public!sex
Summary: Eggsy chokes on a moan and shudders against him. "Harry…"
"Shh, darling," Harry whispers and kisses the spot he'd just bitten, brushes his lips against the shell of Eggsy's ear. "I need you to be very quiet now. Can you do that for me?"
Super hot little fic with Harry getting Eggsy off in the bushes during a party.

Title: Exsatio (part 2 of the Recuperandae Series)
Author: favicon DistractionReaction
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 54,317
Content/Warnings: AU: Harry Lives, rimming, mild bondage, bottom!eggsy, rough sex
Summary: Five times Harry tries to wine and dine Eggsy, and one time that things actually work out as planned.
Seriously amazing sequel to one of my favorite Kingsman fics. The characterizations are great, and I just adore their connection here. Loved all the coitus interruptus and the sexy build up of tension. When they finally manage to have sex, it's just about the hottest thing ever.


Title: The Coming of Spring
Author: favicon ingberry
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 9,746
Content/Warnings: bottom!merlin, outdoor!sex, glomp fest 2013
Summary: Kings, even new ones, were not supposed to long for their menservants. They shouldn't let their eyes linger on their wrists, the plump of their lips, or the shape of their thighs. Arthur knew this, but he still wanted. There was nothing about Merlin he didn't want.
Such a lovely gorgeous fic with pining!Arthur and a seriously beautiful relationship between Arthur and Merlin.


Title: my kingdom for your graces (part 6 of the Of Magic and Monsters Series)
Author: favicon venomedveins
Pairing: Agron/Nasir, background Crixus/Naevia, Mira/Spartacus, implied Auctus/Duro, Pietros/Barca, past Agron/Duro, mention of past Agron/OCs and Nasir/OMCs
Rating: NC-17

Fabulous update to this captivating series! Agron and Nasir are finally reunited (in the sexiest of ways) and all of the plots surrounding them continue to thicken! Highly recommend this series, though you definitely should start from the beginning!


Title: All Stirred Up
Author: [livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26 & favicon jsea

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 49,430
Warnings: AU: Werewolves Exist, laura lives, cop!derek, barista!stiles, bottom!stiles, magic!stiles, rough sex
Summary: Derek's first duty as a new deputy is the early morning coffee run to The Leaky Carafe, and it's not long before he discovers that the quirky barista has a knack for making the perfect drink. Every time. Even before you order. But is it intuition, luck or magic that has all Stiles' customers leaving happy?
Oh this was just such a fun AU. I really love how the authors interpreted the tropes and themes and canon elements here, but gave them a fresh twist. Fabulous connection between Stiles and Derek and just generally a super enjoyable read.

Once again, I sort of bounced all over the place this month in terms of my fandom reading. :D

Title: Toasted Buns
Author: [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge and favicon scifigrl47
Pairings: Steve/Tony
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 47,044
Content/Warnings: switching, bottom!steve, bottom!tony, hotel!sex, first time
Summary: After seeing Tony naked and tanned -- all over -- in a decontamination shower, Steve realizes he may be in trouble. Tony, meanwhile, is definitely in trouble over those tabloid pictures of him sunbathing nude. The solution is clearly a tropical island getaway.
Oh such a fun and sexy fic! I loved Steve and Tony's relationship in this, and the sex was smoking hot!

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 8,863
Content/Warnings: established relationship
Summary: For the first time since Edoras, Gimli and Legolas are alone. The battle of the Pelennor Fields has been won. They have an entire suite to themselves in the guest wing of the citadel of Minas Tirith.
And there is a bath.
Such a wonderfully hot and sweet Sansûkh outtake with Gimli and Legolas getting it on for the first time. [This is a "Deleted Scene" from Sansûkh, which is an amazing Thilbo & Gigolas WIP that I highly recommend. I think you'd probably be okay to read this fic without having read Sansûkh, but it'll make a bit more sense if you read the main fic first.]


Title: Post-Game Celebration
Author: favicon razielim
Pairing(s): Jason/Percy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,236
Content/Warnings: AU: High School, underage, first time, bottom!percy, semi-public!sex

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 9,469
Content/Warnings: breakup!fic, future!fic, bottom!ronan, outdoor!sex
Summary: After Adam and Ronan have gotten together and then broken up, Ronan visits Adam at college.
Lovely, bittersweet fic with Adam and Ronan having broken up in the past, and trying to make things work again. Great ending.


Title: Ice
Author: favicon Molly
Pairing(s): Clark/Lex
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 8,346
Content/Notes: underage, first time, forced proximity, barn!sex
Summary: In which Lex almost dies, Clark almost saves him, and there is almost (but not quite) too much schmoop.
Super sweet and sexy fic with and adorable Clark and a fabulously characterized Lex.


Title: it's shaking the sky and i'm following lightening (part 5 of the Of Magic and Monsters Series)
Author: favicon venomedveins

Word Count: 16,271
Content/Warnings: AU: Fairy Tale & Fantasy, creature!fic, magic!nasir, werewolf!agron, arranged marriage, rough sex, bottom!nasir, MPREG, dream!sex, mention of past sibling incest
Summary: Agron has left for war, but Nasir is now fighting a war at home too. Who is really the hero and who is really the villain?
Awesome update to a fabulous series! Things are starting to get more intense here, and the tension continues to mount. I adore this world the author is creating, and both Agron and Nasir are really wonderfully characterized. (Also, a note about the past Agron/Duro, because that's not generally my thing, but it's all non-explicit and in the past. It does play a part in the story, but this is very much a Nasir/Agron fic.)


Title: Is Forever Enough

Pairings: Derek/Stiles, background Scott/Allison, Cora/Lydia
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 10,836
Content/Notes: AU: Werewolves Exist, arranged marriage

Word Count: 12,501
Content/Warnings: AU: No Werewolves, wing!fic, bottom!stiles

Really wonderful AU that still manages to perfectly capture that awesome essence of Stiles and Scott's friendship. And then seeing that friendship evolve into something deeper was just lovely.

I read a little bit in a lot of fandoms in June! :D

Title: Watch Over Me
Author: favicon keelywolfe
Pairing: Bilbo/Thorin
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,928
Content/Warnings: established relationship, outdoor!sex
Summary: Keeping watch at night whilst on the road is quite an important task. Though perhaps it should have been specified precisely what should be watched.
Oh this is just too hot and sweet. Love the little glimpse of their relationship here on the road to Erebor.


Title: Don't Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Author: favicon blacktofade
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,957
Content/Warnings: daddy!kink, praise!kink, light D/s, semi-public!sex, implied bottom!eggsy
Summary: It doesn’t slip out on purpose. He’s three sheets to the wind, celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday after returning from a recon mission in Sri Lanka, which means he’s jet lagged, too, and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. His mum’s on the other side of the room talking to Roxy for God’s sake. If he’d meant to say it, he would have waited for a more appropriate moment.
Though, he’s not sure there will ever be an appropriate moment for accidentally calling Harry daddy.
Super sexy daddy!kink fic.

Title: Vanilla
Author: favicon coffeeinallcaps
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,283
Content/Warnings: AU: Harry Lives, established relationship, switching, bottom!eggsy, bottom!harry, dirty talk, massage!fic, sex toys, semi-public!sex
Summary: Eggsy laughs breathlessly. He looks up at Harry--eyes bright, lips wet and puffy--and says, "Can't believe you been denying me this for so long."
Harry touches his thumb to Eggsy's cheekbone, watches Eggsy lean into the touch a little, and thinks, me neither.
In which Harry and Eggsy keep trying (and failing) to have vanilla sex.
God this fic! So freaking hot and sweet. Loved it.

Title: Breathless (A Tale of Eggsy Unwin)
Author: favicon xxjinchuurikixx
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 101,936
Content/Warnings: AU: Harry Lives, first time, dirty talk, bottom!eggsy, light spanking, rough sex, barebacking, rimming
Summary: In which Harry Hart returns to confuse the shit out of Eggsy, and make his life a bit of rough.
Really wonderful Harry Lives AU that deals with the aftermath of the movie and Harry living through his ordeal. There's lots of delicious angsty pining as Harry refuses to give into his feelings for Eggsy and Eggsy is so gone on Harry he just doesn't know what to do. But the payout is so worth it, and the sex is crazy hot! :)


Title: These Inconvenient Fireworks and timestamp probably gonna sin again (must join community for access)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mdasch & [livejournal.com profile] everydayslike
Pairing(s): Harry/Louis, Zayn/Liam, mention of past Louis/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~190,000
Content/Warnings: AU: Modern, teacher!louis, teacher!zayn, teacher!niall, fireman!liam, photographer!harry, switching, bottom!harry, bottom!louis, bottom!zayn, first time, rimming, office!sex, semi-public!sex, some light cross-dressing, panty!kink, implied bottom!liam
Summary: Future AU in which nobody tries out for X Factor but the boys end up finding one other eventually anyway. Louis is a jaded bastard who owns a cat named Duchess and teaches drama to teenagers, Harry is an idealistic aspiring photographer/part-time footy coach, Zayn teaches English lit and wears leather jackets, Liam saves people from burning buildings, and Niall is Niall.
So I'm not really a big 1D fan, nor am I all that enthusiastic about bandom fics, just because I find it harder to care about RL people in a shipping sense. But [livejournal.com profile] anemonen recced this, and it was an AU, so I figured I'd give it a go. I really enjoyed it! It's told primarily from Louis's POV with Zayn's POV tossed in for good measure. I really liked the characterizations and the friendships between all the boys, and how their relationships grew and evolved. I really liked that the two main relationships here were really very different, and if never felt repetitive or boring. The fic is mostly Louis/Harry as far as explicit interaction goes, though Zayn/Liam does get some screen time. I will say that the "misunderstanding because of a lack of communication" trope was almost overdone for me, but I think it was resolved just in the nick of time. Overall, I seriously hot, enjoyable read. [Also highly recommend the timestamp from Liam's POV, adorable and super sexy.]


Title: who's gonna ride your wild horses
Author: favicon darkrosaleen
Pairing: Gansey/Ronan, Declan/Ronan

Summary: It didn’t seem fair that Declan was the one Ronan needed and Gansey was the one Ronan had.

Rating: NC-17

Author: favicon venomedveins
Pairing: Agron/Nasir, background Pietros/OMC, Auctus/Duro, Crixus/Naevia, Mira/Spartacus, implied Pietros/Barca, past Agron/Duro

Summary: Nasir is given to Agron through an arranged marriage as payment for safe passage through Agron's kingdom. Cultures and magical powers clash as the two try to adjust to their life and Agron's father pressure to create a new heir.
Enjoying the hell out of this series, and this was a wonderful update! Loved seeing Agron and Nasir's relationship grow and develop, and it was nice seeing the snapshots of the other characters as they prepare to go to war.
