A few recs from things I've read in the past week.
Several bandom:
And I Dream Of What I Need by
blindmadness, Frank/Gerard
When one is the male princess of a magical kingdom, few things come as a surprise anymore. Princess Gerard Way of the kingdom of Belleville sets out on a quest to fulfill a prophecy and encounters dragons, climbs mountains, runs from volcanoes, banters with King Peter of Wilmette, and finds true love along the way.
Campus by
bellheim, PG-13, Bob/Gerard
“This guy I know, his scholarship only covers so much,” Mikey says. “So he’s looking for a little, nothing serious, just enough to get him by this semester. And I know you’re looking.”
“Wait, wait,” Gerard says, and doesn’t freak out. “The fuck do you take me for? I don’t need to pay some guy you know for a date.”
Mikey snorts, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Yeah, no, okay? Maybe I was talking about your project? I’m not that interested in your personal life.”
College AU in which Gerard is an art student and Bob is his model.
All About The Benjamins by
kueble, NC-17, Brendon/Cash
Brendon used to be sure that Bank of America was the most fucked up place he’d ever work in his entire life. Now? Now he’s three days into a position at First Star Savings Bank that’s further out in the country and further separated from reality.
Two of Cups by
mokuyoubi, NC-17, Brendon/Ryan, Jon/Spencer
Brendon really, really wanted to go to the carnival. He’d been excited to move to Las Vegas, having heard all the stories about it. He knew his parents would be upset if they knew his enthusiasm wasn’t so much about spreading the word the prophet as it was about seeing the big city.
And now there was a carnival, with gypsies and dancers and a snake tamer and the exotic fortune-teller, and Brendon wanted to see it so badly he could almost taste it.
Very awesome magical-ish circus AU.
Erasing All This Body's Known by
disarm_d, NC-17, Spencer/Brendon
"What the fuck?" Spencer says, once Brendon has walked away. "Did you see--? With the--?" Spencer pulls his lips back and says, "Grrr."
"With the him-being-a-vampire?" Ryan says. "Yeah, yeah I noticed that."
One Supernatural RPS:
Sweet Dreams Remain by
dark_reaction, NC-17, Jared/Jensen
Jensen is a bartender who has the shit luck of falling for a married man, or the cocktail waitress who ended Jared and Sandy's fabulous marriage.
And a bit of Harry Potter:
Crup-tion of the Not-So-Innocent by
calanthe_fics, NC17, Harry/Draco
If you thought that befriending Draco Malfoy would be easier than defeating the Dark Lord you’d be wrong. Harry Potter has to grow another pair of legs and a forked tail before he can break down the frosty barrier blocking the way into Malfoy’s heart (and his underpants).
For a little bit more in the same 'verse:
A Hump a Day Keeps the Ministry Toadies AwayIn which Percy Weasley learns that it’s best not to irritate Harry Potter’s boyfriend.
