Fic Recs: AVG, AVG/CM, SPN, SH/Labyrinth, Looper, TW
You know what's both hilarious and slightly horrifying? I have more that 1,500 things tagged to still be recced on Pinboard. These are very recent but I feel like I should really get to that accumulation sooner or later.

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (BBC), Labyrinth
Rating: PG
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes, Jareth (The Goblin King)
Relationship(s): None

Yep, that's pretty much how it would play out.

When That Trumpet Sounds (1942 words) by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Characters: Original Character, Gabriel (Supernatural)
Additional Tags: magical artefacts spell trouble, magical instrument, Tricksters, Zombies, High School
Summary: So it was the Platonic Ideal of trumpets, but it was still a trumpet. What harm could playing it do?
Reccer's Notes
At some point, Gabriel misplaced his trumpet - yes, *that* trumpet - and it's not the sort of thing you should play in a band concert.

Einstein's Definition of Insanity (5208 words) by seriousfic
Fandom: Looper (2012)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: joe/sara
Characters: Cid (Looper), Sara (Looper), Joe (Looper)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
Summary: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Reccer's Notes
A particular part of the movie was remarkably traumatizing (still not discussing it, thanks) but it's been long enough I could revisit the end and an alternate version thereof. Or, rather, a "what happens next" kind of scenario. The characterizations feel spot-on - hard and half-broken but surviving. I would add warnings/tags for drug use and binge drinking, but that's inherent to the movie, so.

Ride Out This Electrical Storm (4958 words) by blacktofade
Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Derek/Stiles
Additional Tags: First Time, Established Relationship, Blow Jobs, Birthday Sex
Summary: It turns out that both Stiles and Derek are inexperienced in the bedroom department, but Stiles just takes that as a challenge and tries his best to blow Derek’s mind.
Reccer's Notes
I have to second Cia's comments on this one: "Starts off cute and heartwarming, but ends up just plain hot. The transition felt really smooth and natural."

Do It Again In Reverse (3550 words) by Greensilver
Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Vernon Boyd
Additional Tags: Woke Up Married
Summary: Lesson learned: drunk hyperbole in Las Vegas really didn't pay off.
Reccer's Notes
Funny and sweet (and I want to wrap Derek up in cotton batting, especially his heart, because those bits are *fragile*).

Moonflower (367 words) by Hatteress
Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf)
Additional Tags: flowers trope, Tumblr Prompt
Summary: Derek eyes the colourful monstrosity next to the bed. “Is that a moonflower?” he says, and Stiles grins, like Derek’s just aced a test or something. Derek tries and fails to keep his lips from ticking upward. “You’re as subtle as a brick to the face.”
Reccer's Notes
It's Scott's comment that makes me laugh. In which subtlety really isn't Stiles' forte.
