It Is Time... /Rafiki voice
FOR FICRECS. God it's really past time, guys, I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything for a bit. It's been kind of hectic with some minor day surgeries in the family and planning the Iceland trip (there's an 8 hour time difference and a language barrier working against us, fun times) and it's HOT here, like 94F last week, like, jfc this is alaska knock it off.
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:
Pay attention to the strangeness of the weather by pollyrepeat: Arthur/Eames (Inception). STORM-CHASER'S AU. Which works shockingly well?? Wow.
Counterfeit Heartstrings by recrudescence: Arthur/Eames (Inception). Oh damn did someone say accidental domesticity fic? That's my jam.
Virgin State of Mind by recrudescence: Danny/Stiles (Teen Wolf). I'll admit I've mostly given up on teen wolf, but this last episode had a few glorious moments that made me want to reconsider. Great de-virginizing fic, great faces, great ship.
Just a Social Construct by queerly_it_is: Danny/Stiles (Teen Wolf). Another wonderful take on how it should've gone down.
A (Sort of) Fairytale by briecheesie: Derek/Stiles (Teen Wolf). In which Stiles gets turned into a fox. Augh, as much as this ship continues to baffle me on the show, this fic is so good and gradual that it works for me. ALSO, daunt did some gorgeous/adorable/fantastico art included in the fic worth the price of admission even if the fic wasn't great (which it is, it SO is).
The Hollow Man by artificer: Hannibal/Will (Hannibal). WAUGH MAGICAL REALISM WAUGH AMAZINGNESS.
Schedios by lonelywalker: Hannibal/Will (Hannibal). Hannibal paints Will like one of his French girls. Not really. (Kinda really??) Shhh this fic is stunningly visual and fantastic, and I know someone who's working on art based off it as soon as her computer gets fixed ;D
All The King's Man by pookaseraph: Erik/Charles (XM:FC). WOW this was great. I stayed up reading this last night and furiously refreshing tumblr because my nerves couldn't take watching the filibuster livecam so I was saturated in good political intrigue without feeling overwhelmed by it. Also I'm in the middle of rereading some of my favorite Amelia Peabody novels and Charles' trading excursions reminded me a lot of my favorite umbrella-wielding heroine :D
Cursed at First, But Mended by beyond_belief: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). Oh goshhhhhh everything about this fic was quietly wonderful and I could've rolled around in this for DAYS. REGENCY AU.
A Long March by songbird: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). In which Marcus has to leave for a trip and Esca doesn't know if he's coming back so he panics and destroys all the furniture. No okay this fic was lovely, LOVELY, makes your chest all achey with how understated it is.
Terra Sigillata by songbird: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). Esca-is-a-potter AU. aldkjfkldfaldfjladkfjlsdkflaksfjlad. Loved every inch of this fic, goddamn.
every motion is cloer to touching by addandsubtract: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). WHITE COLLER AU OH MY GOD. WORKS SCARY WELL.
In Borcovicus by isis: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). Esca tending to Marcus after they return the Eagle. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwlakdflasdfjlkdfjlakd "That was not a noise of pain," Marcus informed him. "That was a noise of joy at the thought of being clean again." Of course it was, baby.
a wolf in wolf's clothing by ainsoph15: Esca/Marcus (The Eagle). Do you need more than "Esca wears a kilt?" Esca wears a kilt at a WEDDING.
she blinded me with political science by thingswithteeth: Darcy/Bruce (Avengers). SHIP I NEVER KNEW I SHIPPED??? GOD this was good--as flightjacket said in her pinboard review, every 500 words will crack you up. Darcy coming into her own, team being TEAM, excellent excellent.
On a Clear Day by saras_girl: Draco/Harry (Harry Potter). I read some really terrible fic during HP fic's heyday, but this--wow THIS. Really really REALLY worked for me in all the ways. Agoraphobic!Harry, much-put-upon!Draco basically camps in Harry's house trying to convince him to do a fundraiser for some orphans and just, yeah. Fantastic.
The Greek Scientist by calvinahobbes: Elementary gen. Adooooorable, spot-on characterization, BABY, SHERLOCK WITH BABY, what more do you need really (except like, a million more fics where this happens kthnx).
Sins of the Flesh by mistresscurvy: Lagertha/Ragnar/Athelstan (Vikings). Working with the loopholes Athelstan's God provides, awww yiss.
Don't Carry it All by oflights: Sid/Geno (hockey). Sidney's relationship with his blender is on the rocks post-jaw-breakage, but his relationship with Geno is just fiiiiiiiiine.
The Love Song of the North American Douche-Bag by gyzym: Zach Quinto/Chris Pine (Star Trek RPF). oh mannnn i don't even know, this was great, great sniping/sassing/affectionate bullying each other into a relationship of failboats.
Step 1: Enlist in Starfleet. Step 2: ????? Step 3: Profit. by hellostarling: Kirk/Bones (Star Trek: Reboot). ACADEMY FIC FOR THE SOUL. Ugh this was delightful. Prank wars, sass, I just, yeah.
all the things i deserve by damnromulans: Kirk/Bones (Star Trek: Reboot). CLOTHES-SHARING.
You Are Beary Stupid (But We Love You Anyway) by waketosleep: Post STID-genfic of AMAZINGNESS and BANTER. A+++++++++ cannot recommend highly enough.
The Definition of Us by hellostarling: Kirk/Spock, gen (STID). Actually if you only pick one fic in this entire list to read, make it this one holy fuck. Completely blown away by every single word, and the way this ship is handled worked for me down to a spiritual level okay okay just go.
guyyyys oh man, when I see long lists like this it just kind of smacks me upside the head with how many INSANELY TALENTED writers there are out there putting good words together for pure enjoyment and i get all wiggly and warm inside you rock, fandom rocks, HUGS ALL AROUND.
