Why This Must Be Read:
Well, frankly, anything alyse writes is well-written and usually scorching hot. This one is one of my favorite tropes: friends to lovers. It's awkward and funny, and yes, hot, even though it's fade-to-black.

Why This Must Be Read:
Jane Foster and Thor Odinson at Hogwarts. Jane and Thor keep their signature personality traits while fitting perfectly into Rowling's universe. It's a lot of fun.

Why This Must Be Read:
There's wonderful insight into Krycek and Scully, and each of their feelings for Mulder, by virtue of their decisions when they're forced to make choices.
The noncon is more coercion from an outside party, but it could definitely still be triggery.

Why This Must Be Read:
Sometimes when the pressure gets too much, you just need to relax. This is a great example of that friends-to-lovers trope I mentioned above.
