Friday recs post: I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
Why yes I have been playing in the Misfits tag on AO3. It was nearly as fun as rolling around in ron-draco-fest’s awesome.
Harry Potter fic
Good Fortune of the Unlucky by Anonymous. Ron/Draco, ~7400 words, hard R. Summary: Draco's life isn't exactly coming up roses, but a slew of misfortune seems an unfair blow. And why is Weasley being so damn concerned? A short tale of the unexpected.
This is loads of fun, with a great dynamic between Ron and Draco and a nice touch of hurt/comfort for those that way inclined.
Ever-After by Anonymous. Ron/Draco, ~2200 words, PG-13. Summary: The only thing they have in common is Hermione.
The boys end up living together having had their hearts broken by Hermione - no bashing, though. It feels very real, a string of lovely, IC little scenes over time (Draco laughing at Ginny's jokes but not liking her, Draco pretending not to see Hermione while Ron smiles at her) that culminate in a TERRIBLY ROMANTIC ending.

Taste by Anonymous. Ron/Draco, NC-17. Summary: Draco loves the taste of Ron’s cock.
This is four panels of brain-melting hotness. CLICK IT NOW. There is loads to say about the seedy atmosphere Anonymous creates, the B&W challenged only by the red of Ron’s hair, but OMG IT’S JUST SO HOT. Ron’s body is so gorgeous and I love that we get barely a glimpse of his face: this is all Draco’s POV and he just wants some cock. Draco’s face as he fervently sucks and then the come-shot -- CLICK IT NOW PEOPLE.
Summer Breeze by Anonymous. Ron/Draco, G. Summary: A romantic getaway to the park wasn't Draco's first choice, but it certainly wasn't a bad experience.
This is a romantic bit of traditional art. I love the perspective and them wrapped up together on the grass and the kiss.
Avengers fic
This land is mine by flesh. Avengers gen focussing on Natasha, ~1400 words, G. Summary: Natasha comes home from work.
This is just so comforting and lovely. Natasha has a solo mission and comes home to a movie night, cuddling in with the others while they take care of her in their individual ways and banter together and she feels safe with them. HEARTS IN MY EYES.
Won’t You Please (Leave Your Mark On Me) by torakowalski. Clint/Coulson, ~20 000 words, NC-17; handcuffs, waxplay, spanking, subdrop. Summary: Clint really likes handcuffs; he’s just not sure how to tell Phil that. Which is a problem since they’ve been sleeping together for a few months now.
I don’t generally read Clint/Coulson; the lack of meaningful onscreen interaction kills it a bit for me. But I love this fic to bits. It’s engrossing and sexy and Clint’s struggle not to let on is sort of heartbreaking and Coulson is Boyfriend of the Year. Also I really enjoy kink-negotiation fic, and as a kinky sub - and someone who couldn’t do without kink - this is catnip for my id.
These Are Better Days by adventurepants. Avengers gen, ~4000 words, G. Summary: Steve's tried to watch the news, some-he has a lot to catch up on, after all-but sometimes even that's not real. “The Daily Show is funny because it's fake,” Bruce had tried to explain to him. “Fox News is funny because it doesn't know that it's fake.”
They try to be patient with him. He figures, with Thor back in Asgard, he's the closest thing to an alien they've got. But he's stopped watching the news, anyway. It gets old, after a while, when you just keep seeing your own face.
This is lovely Avengers gen, full of gorgeous little character moments: Steve thinking of Natasha as a hero and her quiet understanding of him, Thor promising Steve he won't be alone, Tony fighting a journalist with deeply childish coding.
Misfits fic
Chemistry is Like Electric by flwrpwr_vampyre. Alisha/Nathan, ~3100 words, NC-17; brief dub-con moment. Summary: She's caught him looking, of course. They always look, boys do and Nathan is definitely looking now.
This is sexy and adorable and they’re both very IC.
The Female Assassin by Sarah531. S3-team gen. ~700 words, G. Summary: Kelly finds her unexpected place in the history books.
This little ficlet makes me so happy; Kelly as a famed twentieth-century figure is pleasingly subversive and I just like it when Kelly gets her due as a fucking superhero :D It’s a nice team moment, too.
The Fear by
laurashapiro. Alisha (with Alisha/Curtis and Alisha/Simon). Summary: I don't know what's right and what's real anymore.
This is a great, uptempo character study of Alisha; the song really works for it, letting the vid slide easily between chirpy moments and the darkness underneath. The cut from Alisha and Curtis’ sex scene in the cubicle to her and ‘Jesus’ is really effective.
