[crovvlipso]

This is how I imagined my short rook flirting with Emmrich

[mkthefrog]

In my mind they're in love 😔

[likecastle]

I’m going to write fanfic that is sooooo incomprehensible to anyone who hasn’t seen this other piece of unrelated media

[meetinginsamarra]

Fanfics I really liked in September 2023

So. Since I keep a list of what I´ve read anyway (there´s always a list), I will rec all the fics I´ve wholly enjoyed on a monthly basis. Old and new, canon or AU, big or small authors, long or short but nearly always Johnlock (-ish).

The Craving in Between by love_in_mind_palace (mysleepyhead) 

Sherlock Holmes, The wedding Consultant. Picky about his projects because he wants the weddings to be perfect. But when John Watson reluctantly limps his way in his office, with his more than enthusiastic fiancée, Mary Morstan, Sherlock cannot say no. So much fun!

Secrets of the Mind by Kryptaria @kryptaria

In a world where almost a tenth of the population are born gifted, psychics and nulls live side-by-side, without fear or prejudice. But throughout history, the most feared serial killers have been psychics born with multiple gifts. They were hunted down and to be incarcerated or killed.

Wild Nights, Wild Nights and part 2 Rowing in Eden by cassyl @likecastle

If Sherlock had never met John, would he still be on the side of the angels? On his return from Afghanistan, John takes a job working the night shift at a high secure psychiatric hospital, but when the infamous criminal mastermind Sherlock Holmes is admitted as a patient, John begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.

Eight Days A Week by cassyl

When a handsome consultant shows up at the office, John thinks his biggest worry is being made redundant. Little does he know, things are about to get a lot more complicated.

Damage and part 2 Engaged by lifeonmars

No damage could ever be truly repaired. After the tarmac scene, John would not be the same. So was Sherlock. He did not believe in marriage, but he wanted to be married. He found this something of a surprise. Angst and feels, slow build and a happy ending.

rec: laughing at clouds by cassyl (Stranger Things, explicit, Robin/Nancy, 5.7k)

All of @likecastle's ronance is wonderful, but laughing at clouds is truly my ideal ronance story: snappy dialogue, the possibility of going to the movies, feeling like a square peg in a round hole even after all these years, and open ending. It even has some light shenanigans! All of it written with such a naturalness I can't believe it doesn't happen like this. This story is a huge influence of all of my own ronance thoughts, feelings, and writing.

After Steve hangs up, she tries to answer Steve’s question. What’s the harm in her and Nancy hanging out? Why is Robin making this such a big thing? It’s not that she’s actually all that intimidated by Nancy, really, despite her promising career and excruciatingly normal clothes. They were friends once, however fleetingly. They could be again. It could even be fun, hanging out with her. But if it’s not, she thinks, she’s not sure she’ll be able to bear it. And maybe that’s what she’s really afraid of—discovering that, somewhere along the way, the bright spark she saw half-hidden under Nancy’s prim and proper exterior has gone out. What if she’s no longer the girl who made Robin run barefoot across the grounds of Pennhurst Asylum and turned to laugh breathlessly at her clumsy gait as they fled the scene? Robin doesn’t want to find out that all she and Nancy Wheeler really are to each other is two people who went to high school together. She thinks that might be worse than never seeing Nancy again.

Fics With Titles That Start With S Masterlist

Safe and (the) Sound (ao3) - 27dragons, tisfan bucky/tony E, 84k

Summary: Tony dropped out of college to get away from his abusive father. When his longtime boyfriend reveals similar tendencies, Tony refuses to endure another moment of it, running away with nothing more than the cash in his pockets. He makes it to Virginia, where he's taken in by Bucky, a restaurant owner looking for an extra hand who's willing to be paid cash under the table.

Bucky's been struggling for years: to keep the beachside restaurant he inherited from his parents above water (both financially and literally); to live down the fact that he's gay in a small southern town; to get over the man who's owned his heart since he was fourteen. But he's never had to struggle as hard as he is now, to keep his hands off Tony.

Scars (ao3) - Arvensis5 bucky/tony G, 26k

Summary: When Tony tried to urge the homeless guy sleeping on the steps of the Tower’s loading dock to move, he never expected that he'd found Hydra’s pet assassin—James "Bucky" Barnes.

Summary: Tony Stark has spent his life growing up in Tornado Alley Oklahoma with his disgraced, drunk, widowed father. At 16 years old, Tony can’t wait to escape the horrible town he’s grown up in. The only thing that makes living there bearable is his boyfriend Steve Rogers, which he has to keep a secret from his father. But after an incident at school, Howard finds out about Tony’s relationship with Steve and he isn’t happy about it. After things with Howard take a turn for the worse, Tony has to figure out a way to escape his house with it’s dark secrets hidden inside - or will a stronger force present Tony with the opportunity to quickly eliminate the problem himself?

Silver Lining (ao3) - cassyl sharon/natasha T, 3k

Summary: Over at the Triskelion, the analysts have started taking bets on how long it'll take Rogers to catch on, and, because Natasha’s always felt that the best way to gamble is to make her own odds, she takes it upon herself to make it as difficult as humanly possible for Sharon to maintain her cover.

Really, lately he has just been trying his best to keep his life in balance between all his daily responsibilities that tug at him for his attention, but then his class comes to his place of work without him knowing about it. Peter should never underestimate his ‘parker luck’.

starting to think our luck could change (ao3) - EverythingYouSeeIOweToSpaghetti bucky/clint N/R, 11k

Summary: Clint's 8 when they put him in elementary and he only knows how to read print but not cursive and he never learned how to write or how to do math. He doesn't know what the capital of the US is and he's never heard of President Bush. So, Mrs. Keller, the old lady they live with now, gets him a tutor, the neighbors’ daughter, Becca. He thinks she's the most beautiful person he's ever met. That is, until he meets her younger brother, James, or Buck as she calls him, who's rarely ever home and who makes him feel things.

Steve Rogers Is A Child (ao3) - LagLemon steve/tony, clint/phil M, 290k

Summary: Tony gets into fights with Steve all the time and it’s driving him insane. Sure, he’s not the nicest guy in the world, but all he did was steal a little of the guy’s sesame seed bagel - he didn’t deserve to get yelled at for something stupid like that.

After drowning his sorrows in hot chocolate and complaining to Pepper about what happened, Tony gets a phone call from Natasha telling him to hurry back home. Something’s happened - Steve has been attacked and he’s not quite the same man he once was - he’s been turned into a child.

With Steve out of commission, the team struggles with what to do and Tony finds himself filling roles he had never expected: babysitter and friend.

Still Here, Still There - ArwenP steve/tony N/R, 281k

Summary: Tony and Steve never think about having a child- until they do. They have their son, Peter, and then… everything goes to hell.

Now that they decided to keep their son away… what will happen to all of them?

Straight on till Morning (ao3) - Sineala steve/tony E, 109k

Summary: Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he’d never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony’s own design. What’s more, the Avenger’s captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive… and very, very attractive.

But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own – and the truth could change everything.

strange light in a purple sky (ao3) - Lake (beyond_belief) bucky/loki M, 10k

stress relief (ao3) - romanoff steve/tony E, 84k

Summary: They don’t love each other. They barely even like each other.

Such Sweet Revenge (ao3) - ali_aliska bucky/tony M, 167k

Summary: When the Rogues are back in the States after being pardoned, the New Avengers want nothing to do with them and as far as Tony is concerned, if he never speaks to them again, it’ll be too soon. After all, he didn’t spend the last year putting himself (and his family) back together only for his former co-workers to ruin all of his hard work.

But then he gets a hand-written letter from the Winter Soldier himself, apologizing for the events that transpired and an off-handed comment from Rhodey about Rogers failing to take care of an obviously miserable Bucky Barnes sets in motion Tony’s new, oh-so-evil plan to get some payback.

After all, what better revenge than to steal the Winter Soldier away from his best friend?

The only problem: Tony sucks at being vengeful, but apparently he’s an expert at inadvertently falling in love.

Suffer the Children (ao3) - natneill99 pepper/tony T, 56k

Summary: When Thanos destroyed half of all life, over 7,500,000 children in the US alone suddenly found themselves without a family to go home to. Fourteen-year-old Peter Parker was one of them.

Superior (ao3) - Teeelsie bucky/clint E, 29k

Summary: Fury casts a dark glance at the closed door, then leans back in his chair and looks at Coulson. “I’ve got an asset who's coming apart at the seams and maybe the only person who can relate is sitting right next to him. Figuratively, anyway.”

“And you think isolating him with someone else who’s been mind-controlled is the way to get him out of his head?”

Fury tips his head. “You don’t think it will work?”

Phil shrugs. “It might.”

“But?”

Phil hesitates before saying, “But there’s a lot that could go wrong.”

Fury snorts. “Isn’t that the SHIELD motto?”

Sweater Weather (cause it’s too cold) (ao3) - UnderwhelmingAlchemist sam/bucky G, 4k

Summary: Despite Delacroix having fairly mild winters, all things considered, living with Bucky highlights exactly how poorly he handles the cold. And of course Sam seeks to remedy this as soon as possible, wanting to make the lead-up to the holidays more manageable for him.

Swings and Roundabouts (ao3) - mariana_oconnor bucky/clint E, 50k

Summary: Clint Barton hates everything about Bucky Barnes, from his stupid perfect hair to his stupid perfect smile - especially the stupid perfect smug smile that he aims at Clint, like he’s better than him or something.

Clint wants nothing more than to wipe that smile off Barnes’ dumb face and make him see exactly how good Clint is. So naturally, he kisses him.

That’s how it begins.

[corujalesbica]

THANK U FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY

So

First we have this momojirou one shot inspired by little miss perfect and I'm such a sucker for that song I knew 4 different versions by heart when I was fourteen. + here we have bnha kids being actual teenagers. + Todomomo bromance (gay / lesbian, my favorite bromance flavor ) Aannnddd its angst. Its pretty sad. Like really sad. Anyways it's great I love itt

Then we've got Mina being a cupid little shit

There's also this fic in which Momo proposes and one that talks in depth about the fact that yao-momo associates her value with physical things and her body, basically what she can provide to others and it's a hurt/ comfort in which Jirou talks to her about it and that she doesn't need to be useful to be worth smt and it's just awesome.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find either of these as they're now lost in the ao3 void. :( I'll link them here if I find them thou!!! Also I can't seem to find good multichapter momojirou :(((

Now as for ronance-

Here we have a little collection of one shots and they're all very cuteee

OK so, I'm not the biggest fan of first person narrative BUT I am a sucker for autistic lesbian Robin. Ngl the writing is sometimes meh (1st person really does make me feel anxious lol) but this is high key funny.

There's also a fanfic in which they're spies I think ?? But I also couldn't find it

U know what would be really awesome??!! A MEDIEVAL AU

Either Witch Nancy x princess Robin

Or princess Nancy x pirate Robin

Omg should I write this *

* is gonna start writing it and stop halfway through it

Anyways if you have any recommendations I would sure as hell appreciate them too!! Always looking for wlw fanfiction <3

If you are writing a fic, i beg you to tag the background ships as background ships. If im looking for a wlw fic i dont want the first 3 pages being all of the most popular mlm fic.

If i filter the mlm ship i lost all the good fics that have that mlm ship as a background ship so i dont want that either because it limits the type of fic i can find.

I just want to read a sweet wlw ship but i cant

New Chapter 📦 - Jun 6, 2022

Chapter 7

Snippet:

He knows tomorrow morning he’ll wake up alone, in a bed that never felt like his, and he’ll ache for this feeling of safety, for a possessive hand on his belly and for the man he’s found and lost in a single night. But all of that’s for tomorrow. If he refuses to open his eyes to a new day, that could only mean it’s still nighttime and he and Armie have hours still before sunrise.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph!

Today I'm feeling problematic😏...got any crime fics???

Hey Lovely!!

Hahahahha Ahh, I don’t have any personal recs... best I can do are these from my MFL list:

Wild Nights, Wild Nights Series by cassyl (M, 36,608 +w. across 2 works || Series WiP || Alternate First Meeting || Canon Divergence, Psych Hospital, Depictions of Violence, PTSD, Post-TRF, Mental Health Issues, Smoking, Case Fic, Questionable Medical Ethics, Mild Gore, References to Suicide, Misunderstandings, Drug Use) – If Sherlock had never met John, would he still be on the side of the angels? On his return from Afghanistan, John takes a job working the night shift at a high secure psychiatric hospital, but when the infamous criminal mastermind Sherlock Holmes is admitted as a patient, John begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.

An Everlasting Inferno by thatawkwardfriend (E, 108,389 w., 15 Ch. || Criminal AU || Different First Meeting, Minor Character Death, Gun Violence, Sherlock Whump, Friends to Lovers / Enemies to Lovers, UST, Mutual Pining) – Sherlock and John are both men who operate outside the law. John works for Mary and her hitmen in order to keep a roof over his head. Sherlock does anything his drug dealer asks of him in exchange for free drugs and housing. They meet one night in a darkened garage to negotiate a deal. But they soon find out that neither of their bosses are being entirely honest with them about their goals or motives. With a little poking around, they stumble upon something much bigger than themselves and discover that perhaps, it might be in their best interests to work together. (Loosely inspired by StartUp and Little Favour)

Deflowered - Director’s Cut by Lorelei_Lee (E, 328,535 w., 51 Ch. || Mafia / Mob AU || Rape/Non-Con, Dub-Con, Boss John/Rentboy Sherlock, Bottomlock, Virgin Sherlock, Pining Sherlock, Jealous John, Prostate Milking, Sounding, Anal Beads/Plug, Anal Sex / Fingering, Spanking, Begging, Blow Jobs, Riding Crops, Begging, Romance, Desperation, Minor Character Death, Implied Self Harm, Violence) – It should have been strictly business. Being a Mafia boss with a sadistic sexual streak, John had long since realised that his playthings were in it for the money only. Being a masochistic rent boy, Sherlock seemed too good to be true. Little did they know…

Feel free to add more Criminal AU fics! <3

[likecastle]

It took me five months, but I finally put the ficlets I wrote for @strangerthingsfemslash Stranger Things Femslash Week up on AO3.

[swissmissficrecs]

HI, I LOVE YOUR SITE; as you know by now. Can you please rec me some fics 'bout John being Sherlock's caretaker? they become something more. like in Proving a Point. Thank you so very much.

Reply: So great to hear, and the feeling is mutual. I love all of your creative ideas. So for this one, while I don’t know if there are any others exactly like Proving a Point (which I have included below for completeness), here are some AU’s where John is paid to take care of or watch over Sherlock in some capacity:

John is Sherlock’s caretaker

A house in the country by PlainJane (20K, E, Johnlock) With new "real rape" laws in place, every unbonded omega is at risk, including Sherlock Holmes. He needs someone to help protect him and hide his true nature, but John Watson may be more of a problem than a solution.

Mental by Boeshane42 (18K, E, Johnlock) Sherlock Holmes is a patient in a closed psychiatric ward. John Watson is his new psychiatrist.

Names for the Galaxy by evadne (191K, E, Johnlock) Sci-fi AU. Sherlock Holmes is a recent arrival to 22nd century earth, and determined to find out who he is and where he comes from. John Watson has the unenviable task of teaching him how to be a normal human being.

No Power of Mind by ab_initio (29K, M, Johnlock, Mystrade) On Monday, it's the Woman. Tuesday brings Henry Knight. Wednesday is Magnussen. Greg is Thursday followed by Moriarty on Friday. Sherlock see dead people in his palace of white. When Mycroft hires Doctor John Watson to take care of Sherlock, Sherlock wonders how long this doctor will last. As time passes, the doctor-patient relationship drifts away and Sherlock's visions begin to take control. As his sanity slips away, John tries to hold on and bring Sherlock back from the depths of his mind.

Northwest Passage by Kryptaria (95K, E, Johnlock) Seven years ago, Captain John Watson of the Canadian Forces Medical Service withdrew from society, seeking a simple, isolated life in the distant northern wilderness of Canada. Though he survives from one day to the next, he doesn't truly live until someone from his dark past calls in a favor and turns his world upside-down with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes.

Possession by Nana_41175 (110K, M, Johnlock) "I seem to be suffering from delusions of being a vampire." Dr. John Watson has a new patient in hand. It seems like a straightforward case, or is it? Vampire!Sherlock/Psychiatrist!John AU fic. 

Proving a Point by elldotsee, J_Baillier (186K, E, Johnlock) Invalided home from Afghanistan, running out of funds and convinced that his surgical career is over, John Watson accepts a mysterious job offer to provide care and companionship for a disabled person. Little does he know how much hangs in the balance of his performance as he settles into his new life at Musgrave Court.

Transference by JeanElizabeth (16K, E, Johnlock; Viclock) Sherlock Holmes has been admitted to a mental institution for paranoid schizophrenia. He is assigned to psychologist Doctor John Watson who he inevitably begins a love affair with. John must wrestle with his guilt in putting not only his job, but Sherlock's mental well-being, in danger. Sherlock struggles with his mental disorder while living in a confining and controlling environment. So much angst and pain that can only be dulled one night a week.

Wild Nights, Wild Nights by cassyl (32K, M, Johnlock) If Sherlock had never met John, would he still be on the side of the angels?  On his return from Afghanistan, John takes a job working the night shift at a high secure psychiatric hospital, but when the infamous criminal mastermind Sherlock Holmes is admitted as a patient, John begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.

@alexxphoenix42 also has this list where John is Sherlock’s bodyguard which seems like a similar kind of thing.

[ao3feed-geralt-jaskier]

by cassyl

Jaskier finally convinces Geralt to let him cut his hair.

Or, Geralt muses about his own terrible self-image and Jaskier tenderly negotiates a haircut.
