Fic In A Box
ficinabox reveals were this past week, and I got two glorious gifts, both for Falcon & Winter Soldier!
Unravel (3400 wds, Sam/Bucky/Zemo)
Zemo gets hit with a drug that makes him crave touch. The pairing is pretty light and background-ish; it's mostly petting. And what glorious petting it is. <3 This was everything I wanted from this premise.
Devil's Hour (11K, Bucky/Zemo)
Zemo escapes from prison and starts calling Bucky in the middle of the night. Lovely slow burn relationship-building fic with a very plausible arc from their canon-compliant mutual distrust to something more.
And here are some things I've read and liked so far:
Definitely check out the whole Falcon & Winter Soldier section - there's a lot of good fic in there, including some really excellent Bucky/Sam.
The Ben January section is also really excellent if Ben/Shaw is your pairing; there's some really nice art and a Shaw as a werewolf fic (a Lady of Perdition tag) that's beautifully canon-compliant and very good.
it's in your head (Dark Matter, Three/Six but also very team-oriented, 5700 wds)
Nicely creepy and very canon-plausible haunted-Raza fic with a Three focus, great character voices and excellent team interactions!
In the Heart of the Holler (Justified, Loretta & Raylan, 3600 wds)
The stories say there's a place in Harlan County that will grant your wish on Halloween night. This is creepy and gorgeous and fantastic, really excellent horror that also feels perfectly in keeping with the setting.
My sister (38F) just rented my (31M) ex-GF's father's house. Should I go visit my sister and BIL, or stay away? (Persuasion AU, 2900 words)
Persuasion as a series of reddit posts to /r/relationships. This is hilarious.
Where never lark or ever eagle flew (Captain Marvel, Carol/Maria, 2300 wds)
Post-canon fic in which Maria and Monica go to space with Carol and the Skrulls. Sweet and fun with excellent SF ambiance.
love is not a victory march (ATLA, Iroh & Zuko gen, 4500 wds)
Five times that Iroh serves Zuko tea, and one time that Zuko serves Iroh tea. Takes place from pre-canon to post-canon, very sweet and in character. Awwwww.
Ask A Manager: Help, I’m Being Transferred to My Mother’s Work Unit! (Vorkosigan Saga, Ivan, 2200 wds)
The Barrayan nobility as basically a dysfunctional family-run company is a weirdly good fit. Very cute.
A Map That Shows The User A Detailed Blueprint Of Whatever They Are Currently Looking At (art, no fandom)
A garbage-tier magical item that definitely puts the garbage in garbage-tier. This entry is also posted at https://sholio.dreamwidth.org/1419319.html with
