Reccs: Original Fiction, Fanvideos, RPF, and Turn
In response to the @sunshine_challenge prompt four, I've gone through my AO3 bookmarks and I've decided to recc fics from my small fandoms that have less than 100 kudos. I'm not going to list the warnings, so please check the tags when you click. These fics and fanvids deserve all of the kudos and comments!
Original Fiction
in this garden of dreams, spring | Queen who fought in a war/Princess of enemy country
World building galore and an arranged marriage that really works for me (even though this isn't a trope I often like). This fic is sharp and intense and then has a lovely transition.
White Sheep | Gen Supervillain Family with one Superhero son
Really great family dynamics! I loved the main character's relationships with his brothers and father, and the family's complicated relationship with the superhero. So much humor and background ships!
Au Revoir | Dashing Male Outlaw/The King in disguise
Very clever, swoon-worthy characters and really fun carriage sex!
a resting place for weary men | Impulsive Male Union Leader/Recently Widowed Young Duke
Really well done political kink & power imbalance with two great characters and some super sexy banter and desk sex.
***And then a shameless self-rec:
To Answer His Crown Prince's Request | Idealistic emotional prince/childhood friend and advisor
Featuring Asian characters, 1700s worldbuilding, political machinations, and power plays.
Fanvideos
War Footage Collection
Basically lots of hilarious Band of Brothers crack. B/c I do love crack :D
bring me a dream | Grace/Tommy from Peaky Blinders
This video perfectly encapsulates their relationship! So well done!
Wild One | Basically a homage to Channing Tatum
I wouldn't say I'm a big Channing Tatum fan, but I do enjoy his films. This video knocked my socks off, though. So fun and creative and puts a huge smile on my face.
Real Person Fiction
watching the sun implode and not running | Demi Lovato/Nick Jonas
A detailed 1910 circus AU with great character development. This is like a giant metaphor for their joint tour.
you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk | Demi Lovato/Nick Jonas
This fic is so funny and intimate and detailed and GAH. So many feels.
Feet Water (The Storm is Coming) | Bradley James/Colin Morgan
Fantastic friends turned lovers with a massage, banter, and lovely intimate details. Also includes Irish stuff and an explanation for why 'the storm is coming' was so funny during that one interview :D
Monsters Cuvier Did Not Dream Of | 19th Century Paleontologists
A troubled 'ship with an imaginative paleontologist and some fantastic details.
Hunting Monsters, Monsters Hunting | Demi Lovato/Michelle Rodriguez
Jurassic Park crossed over with the Demi Lovato Music video for 'confident'. Need I say more??? So badass and evocative.
Turn
An ASSortment of appreciative oglings | Ben/Caleb
Some of the snappiest, funniest dialogue I've had the pleasure of reading :) Plus, absolutely no one declined to notice Ben's pants.
I'll be an army | Ben/Caleb
A fusion with Pacific Rim! I just love when Ben has to be a big damn hero, and Caleb is right there with him.
