HP FIC
Warm Welcome by
torino10154 (Bill/Charlie, hard R)
Hello, guilty pleasure pairing! This hot little ficlet was written for me and features Bill being a naughty influence on his younger brother. Nom.
HP ART
Blue Window by
stellamoon (Harry, G)
I love the color, texture, and emotion in this -- stunning.
Undone by Anonymous (Percy/Tonks, R/NWS)
This is so beautiful. I love the facial expressions, which make them look completely lost in each other.
Comfortable Silence by
savagesnakes (Remus/Harry, NC-17)
I could actually repeat the exact same rec for this one as for the Percy/Tonks above -- the facial expressions totally make this. I do love the stained glass in the background too. :-)
Secret Sanctuary by Anonymous (Lucius/Regulus, R, semi-public sex)
Guh. Love the costumes!
ST FIC
Guilt by
imachar (Pike/Boyce, R)
Disregard the 2/30 in the header, as this fic stands alone (though it's part of the author's magnificent
Weight of a Man series, well worth reading). This is a look at an aspect of Pike's post-Narada emotional landscape that I'd never considered, and it's very moving.
As You Wish by
mackem (Kirk/McCoy, NC-17, service kink)
Anyone up for some well-characterized porn? :-D There's something awesome about the way Bones grumps and complains but still obeys what Jim tells him to do (and gets off on it). Brain-meltingly hot.
L'ENGLE VERSE FIC
How like a winter hath my absence been by
hesychasm (Adam/Vicky, PG-13)
Madeleine L'Engle has a very distinctive style of storytelling, and
hesychasm does a lovely job of staying true to that style. Here she captures a pivotal moment in Adam and Vicky's relationship.
HOCKEY RPF
Heart in Hand by
salifiable (Sidney Crosby/Alexander Ovechkin, NC-17, dubious consent)
I blame
ella_bane for this one. I don't know a darn thing about ice hockey, and I don't normally read 130,000-word stories in unfamiliar fandoms, but she said this worked as original fic, and she was totally right. I was sucked into this story for hours. It's one part romance and one part coming out story, and I found both parts equally interesting.
If you enjoy, leave a little love for a hard-working author or artist. :-)
ETA: Forgot that I also wanted to link to this:
