[mpregeminem]

okay anon i finally compiled a short list:

First I'll rec some authors to get you started.

Apparentlynotreallyfinnish - 134 works, really good M rated fics. I'd recommend Experiments it's such a hit.

Isra - 31 works, thee old school rhett and link writer. she had a great grasp on the guys' personalities. Right now I'm rereading The Far Shore and it's just as good as i remembered. It's based on the real story of the guys almost drowning in the cape fear river, making rhett late and exhausted, thus losing his basketball finals. She left the fandom to have a baby with her husband that's how you know the writing is good lol

beastandassociate - 11 works. I already rec Relics of an outmoded design which you neeeed to read, you read about them doing not so planotic bdsm once and then all their following conversations sound insane bc they support exactly what you were reading about (aka link on ear biscuits saying that being tied up and not knowing what the other person's next move is sounds like fun lol)

JennaLee - 12 works. Her fics were the bomb i remember Remedy and Primaeval being my favorites. Also Siren song lol

Color Me by Mythicalinky (RENielsen) - mature, complete, 9084 words. All the tales say this: Whatever hurt you, be it sickness, heartache, or pain, will bloom on the skin of your soulmate. A way to counteract the bad with something beautiful. For most this is all well and fine. Your soulmate will fall and bruise a knee, and a flower will turn up on your skin. It’s pretty, it’s fun, it’s a way to be connected even when you’re far away from each other. Rhett has been covered head to toe in flowers since he was six years old.

So far, he was doing a hell of a job.

2 am and I Want You by captainsourwolf - mature, complete, 2822 words. The rum sitting in his cabinet when he gets home from his honeymoon doesn’t go down as smoothly as he’d hoped it would. In fact, it burns the entire way down his throat and settles heavy and warm in his belly as he climbs into the tub and sprawls out, arms and legs hanging loose over the sides. At least the porcelain underneath him is cool to the touch.

Of Pricks and Pining by holdbythenotsharp - explicit, complete, 15954 words.  Maybe helping each other let out some steam is something they could do sometimes. It doesn’t have to be weird or nothing.

and hearts will be glowing by crackers4jenn - mature, complete, 6350 words.  Rhett's always been a guy who knows how to handle attention well, even the unwanted kind. You have to deflect. But being watched by a room full of his friends, with Link at his side and a twig of mistletoe dangling ominously above them?

Less Talk About That by orphan_account - explicit, complete, 13268 words.  Rhett inadvertently hurts the one he loves, the one he was too stupid to admit he has loved since before college. It’s Valentine’s Day, though, so what better time to make it up to him?

I’d love you for what eternity lasts by BigTimeMoch - explicit, complete, 914 words.  Rhett has never believed in love at first sight; it’s a stupid concept. How can you love someone you don't know?

But now, seated on his living room couch with his lap full of Link and hands gripped in his shaggy black hair while he kisses up and down Rhett's throat, he isn't so sure.

Inmate 756 by its_mike_kapufty - explicit, complete, 2508 words. Correctional officer Link Neal's fascination with prison inmate Rhett McLaughlin is a for-sure conflict of interest. But he can't help himself.

Lucidity by its_mike_kapufty - explicit, complete, 103027 words.  Rhett doesn't know why this is happening. Thank goodness Link doesn't know it's happening at all.

Independence by malienessan - explicit, complete, 31723 words.  Ten years ago, Rhett McLaughlin left society to live in a small house in the mountains, not wanting to be dependent of anything or anyone. Slowly but surely, he has built himself a new life where he finds peace and happiness. One day, he’s contacted by a stubborn reporter who wants to write about Rhett’s life on the mountain. The reporter is Link Neal, and neither man has any idea how their life will change when they meet.

The Sound by FamousWolf and missingparentheses - explicit, complete,  13363 words. Beneath the adulation of the crowds is the subtle sound of something greater, the hum of words left unsaid.

Deal with the Devil by Harper44 - explicit, complete, 42330 words.  With swift movements, Neal squats down to be on eye level with him, pressing the blade under his chin to make him look up. Rhett does so haltingly, fury in his eyes, until he meets the gaze of his captor. Until now his eyes have been completely and creepily in the shadows, but at this angle Rhett can really see them. They’re startlingly blue and edging on humane, but there’s a tinge of crazy in them that makes Rhett’s skin crawl.

There it is, folks. Made this while listening to songs that remind me of them and you could say I’m not emotionally okay. If you know a fic that should be on the list, message me! XO, Sam

[inevitably-johnlocked]

I am thinking of writing a Tangled Au Sherlock fic where Sherlock was kidnapped by Moriaty in order that Moriaty could use Sherlock's magic curls to stay young and strong. I think it's going to be similar to Tangled with the fact that Sherlock is going to have long, beautiful black curls and John, the thief, comes along and then -boom!-there is love! I don't know if anyone would be interested in reading it though...

Hi Lovely!!

ABSOLUTELY people would read it! I know there’s a Tangled AU (Curled (A Tangled AU) by crimsonwinter) but PLEASE DON’T LET THAT DISCOURAGE YOU. You know what DOESN’T exist? YOUR VERSION. And we all want to read it!! So WRITE IT!! PLEASE!!!

The Other Way | @lovelyrhink​ /crimsonwinter [Explicit] Chapters: 1 - Words: 2726

My Favorite AUs

Save Me or Let Me Drown - by GubraithianFire, E, 72k - Sherlock Holmes was nineteen when he decided he'd had enough. Uni was dull, his family smothering, cocaine too expensive after his trust fund was cut. There was no utility in pursuing a degree in Chemistry, not when he was so good at stealing cars and could make his own money. He had no reason to stay. So he left. John Watson was nineteen when his absent mother dumped on him her last daughter. She disappeared (again) while his father drank himself numb every night (typical). With six younger siblings to take care of, uni was an impossible dream. They had no one except for him. So he stayed. Or: how Sherlock escaped from his family, John sacrificed everything to his, and how, together, they built their own.

Let Me Touch You (The First Summer) - by Shae_Fae, M, 18k - Seventeen-year-old John is spending the summer at Sherlock's country house. Sherlock can't imagine anything worse. Especially since he may be falling in love with the boy. (Literally, I loved this fic so much it inspired me to write my own fic with the same concept)

The Reawakening of John Watson - by 221_be_careful_what_you_wish_for, E, 20k - Trying to escape his troubled past in England, John Watson has started a new life in the American West. When he meets the handsome artist Sherlock Holmes, a smoldering attraction is sparked, complicating his quiet, carefully guarded existence. Maybe taking a risk with Sherlock is exactly what John needs to feel alive again...

Bluest of Blue - by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John, E, 196k - John Watson's 10th season as a Denali National Park Ranger was shaping up to look like all the years before. Until a special team from Europe was flown into the Park for a summer-long wolf-tracking research project, and the head of that research team was wearing a perfectly tailored suit.

Dehumanize Me - by deuxexmycroft, E, 26k - John is sent down for life after accidentally murdering someone, and gets snatched up to play prison wife for a strange man named Sherlock Holmes.

John Watson’s Twelve Days of Christmas - by earlgreytea68, M, 53k - Fake dating AU. It's the holiday season. John Watson needs money. Sherlock Holmes needs something else.

Kings Among Runaways - by allonsys_girl, E, 56k - Sherlock is a street kid with a big drug problem, and John's run away from an abusive home life. When they meet each other in an alley one day, it's pretty much love at first sight. But the streets are rough, and Sherlock's never easy, and so there is much angst.

First and Only - by crimsonwinter, E, 68k - Sherlock and John have been inseparable since birth, working through life as neighborhood best friends, attached at the hip. Unfortunately, reality can break up even the closest of us, and John and Sherlock struggle through all that growing up entails. But first loves are unforgettable, and the boys come to realize that their love is the first and only they'll ever have.

The Slave Who Wouldn’t Run Away - by kleiothemuse, E, 43k - John Watson, a slave with a contract to one of the many auction houses operating legally in modern-day Britain, is sold to a new master, Sherlock Holmes, who appears to want John to be more of an assistant/housekeeper than to warm his bed. As far as John is concerned, this works out nicely. However, the situation changes when Sherlock’s brother interferes, putting pressure on Sherlock to act according to his role as a slave owner, which entails demanding sexual services of his slave as well as disciplining him. Sherlock appears reluctant to obey, whereas John is strangely OK with it...But is everything quite as it seems?

*Smutty AUs 🔥*

Dr. John H. Watson, Sexual Surrogate - by smurff, E, 21k - A sexual surrogate is a therapist who engages in intimate physical contact with clients who have sexual anxiety. After several men who have visited a surrogate go missing, Sherlock goes undercover and makes an appointment to see Dr. John Watson, Sexual Surrogate.

When This is All Over, Let’s Meet in New York - by 221b_careful_what_you_wish_for, E, 21k - Freelance photographer John Watson is on assignment in a city verging on war. When he meets the mysterious Sherlock Holmes, tension crackles and the night takes a decidedly sexy turn. A gritty little love story inspired by Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

I Have Your Permission - by ianavi, E, 11 works - John and Sherlock are scientific academics who meet at a conference. After a weekend hookup, they begin an ongoing sexual relationship when John agrees to be Sherlock’s sub.

The Dancer and the Detective - by eragon19, E, 3 works - John Watson is a stripper struggling to earn his cut at the club and pay rent. Then the mysterious Sherlock Holmes wanders in and books a private dance with him - which ends up being the first of many...

Bleed So Pretty - by PoppyAlexander, E, 8 works - A collection of fight club stories

[colorsmagazinepakistan]

Random Sherlock Fic Rec

There’s no theme to this. It’s just a bunch a fics that I liked.

Rise and Fall by All_I_Need ( 200k )

Sherlock Holmes is a Fallen looking for a distraction. John Watson is an invalided soldier looking for a flatshare. When they meet, both get more than they bargained for. But while Sherlock keeps John in the dark, someone else is patiently making sinister plans for the two of them.

Empathy by Blind_Author ( 35k )

John is an empath. Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Most of the time, it’s not even useful.

Electric Pink Hand Grenade by BeautifulFiction ( 67k )

"If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.

Curled (A Tangled AU) by Crimsonwinter ( 46k )

Sherlock lives a limited life, high in a tower, and all he's wanted in eighteen years of isolation is to someday break free and see the floating lights. Somehow, a string of events leads him to John Watson, a surprisingly kind thief who steals his heart. Will they escape the selfish advances of Moriarty, Sherlock's paternal guardian, and will Sherlock find the meaning behind the silver lanterns?

Deleted Files by Oh_My_Stars_And_Sky ( 16k )

Whenever Sherlock deletes something from his mind, it appears in John's.

Confessions

Confessions By: crimsonwinter

Summary: John and Sherlock finally confess their love for each other. http://archiveofourown.org/works/1172835

MY RATING: B

最近シャーロックがおかしい。ジョンはシャーロックに尋ねるも、教えてくれない。 いったいどうしたんだ…？

というところからの互いの気持ちを伝え合うフィクです。 ジョンがシャーロックを親友だって思ってるよ、と伝えることで話が展開していくんですけど そこから、するーっと問題なく愛の告白までいくのって結構新鮮ですね。 普通、「��られた！？」とか思うところですけど、そこはシャーロック。斜め上行きました。 でも違和感ないですよ、ナルホド！って思いました。

はぁ～、いいね～～！！幸せ～！ありがとう、ありがとう！！！

So I finally finished listening to the last half of Link's spiritual deconstruction and wow, can we talk about

The fact that both Rhett and Link described the act of praying together as "more intimate than sex" and something they didn't even do with their wives, yet they did with each other

How Link thought Christy was seeing Rhett as a threat to the very foundation of her marriage with Link

Link bringing up the topic of LGBT discrimination in the church quite a bit, how its something he and Rhett had struggled with for a long time because they both knew this didn't correlate with their own beliefs, and then later on meeting Stevie and her partner and the love they have for them and that relationship only strengthening their courage to stand up for the community

THE BIG RHINK FANFIC MASTERPOST

Hello friends! Below the cut is a list of fic recommendations from both AO3 and tumblr. If you have a suggestion to add to the list, message me! 

You can also find my fics on my AO3 account right here. 

Without further ado, let’s get to it. 

Milestones by concavepatterns - explicit, complete, 14231 words.  “Do you ever wonder if we’re missing something that everyone else is seeing?”

coke and peanuts by ficfucker - rabbit lightning!au, explicit, complete, 2982 words.  if redd wants to "go at it like rabbits" who is lohn to deny him that?

Operation Clandestin by ponytales (vanderloo) - mature, complete, 211773 words.  Link Neal is transferred from his low profile human intelligence agency to Los Angeles, home to one of the most respected and dangerous agencies in the United States. This is where he meets his handler; a mysterious and alluring man who goes by "H". Link soon realizes not all is what it seems, and his relationship with H might just be in the center of it all.

Color Me by Mythicalinky (RENielsen) - mature, complete, 9084 words. All the tales say this: Whatever hurt you, be it sickness, heartache, or pain, will bloom on the skin of your soulmate. A way to counteract the bad with something beautiful. For most this is all well and fine. Your soulmate will fall and bruise a knee, and a flower will turn up on your skin. It’s pretty, it’s fun, it’s a way to be connected even when you’re far away from each other. Rhett has been covered head to toe in flowers since he was six years old. He hates them more than anything; they’re a constant reminder that he still hasn’t found and saved his soulmate from whatever is hurting them. The one where two broken boys find each other.

The Inmate by good_mythical_miles - explicit, complete, 2984 words.  Rhett and Link drifted apart during college. Rhett became a Correctional Officer. Link fell in with the wrong crowd.

Attachment by goodbothtimes - explicit, complete, 3200 words.  Link sends Rhett an audio attachment. 

Getting Comfortable by serpentjester - Seaborne and Roach!au, explicit, complete, 1292 words. Seaborne and Roach wait for a suspect to rollerblade by. They pass the time. In retrospect, the El Camino is not a very good place for fucking.

The Far Shore by Isra - mature, complete, 88994 words. (there is no description posted with this story, but it is a long slow burny high school fic)

Let’s Make the Stars Blush by lovelyrhink (crimsonwinter) - Seaborne and Roach!au, explicit, complete, 6369 words. His partner is an innocuous doofus of a stargazer, but as of the last few weeks, Seaborne’s thoughts are anything but innocent.

The Good Guys by orphan_account - Seaborne and Roach!au, explicit, complete, 4231 words. Seaborne and Roach have been on a stakeout for a few hours when Roach starts getting a bit… restless.

Terra Nova by pinecontents - not rated, complete, 35556 words. Rhett spent his entire life working towards a single goal: crossing dimensions to work on an untouched Earth in a parallel universe. When he gets there, though, he finds that the most fascinating thing about it isn't the pristine wilderness or the exotic animal life--it's one of the guys who works there.

Wild Horses by lallyloo - explicit, complete, 46175 words. After his first year of college, Link is back home for the summer and his mom sends him to work at his grandparent’s farm. While there he meets the new farmhand and everything he thought about his life is soon turned upside down.

Link Neal... CUM ON DOWN! by Criminalmind1927 - explicit, complete, 4502 words. Rhett McLaughlin, the charming host of “Guess That Price!” is instantly smitten with today’s seemingly unlucky contestant, Link Neal. But will Rhett drum up the courage to make something happen with the inauspicious man or will BOTH men go home with nothing?

No Such Thing by Apparentlynotreallyfinnish - explicit, complete, 10208 words.   A 17-year-old Link gets a text message from an unknown number. The wrong number turns into a burgeoning friendship. As the years go by, both of the boys have to face their feelings for each other.

If the Creek Don’t Rise by cerealbaths (timelordangel) - Rabbit Lightning!au, teen and up, completed, 1111 words. Somewhere in Tennessee, 2004. Redd's always moving on, Lohn's always wishing they could stay put for a while. 

Stuck with Me Now by rhettjmc - mature, complete, 3700 words. In which Rhett is a Mandalorian who finally captures Link Neal, the notorious smuggler.

‘tis the damn season by rhettjmc - explicit, complete, 3432 words. After Link left Rhett over ten years ago, they still hook up every time Link comes home for the holidays - consequences be damned.

Neighbors by lovelyrhink (crimsonwinter) - OT4!au, explicit, complete, 2300 words. “We need to talk about this.” “I thought we were.”

Nightswimming by lallyloo - teen and up, complete, 1967 words. Rhett kissed him once when they were teenagers and they never talked about it again. Now Link wants to talk about it.

Stripped by LikeASwitchInHeat - explicit, complete, 2665 words. Let me see you stripped down to the bone -Depeche Mode. “Stripped”.

Dental Dang by LikeASwitchInHeat - explicit, complete, 3408 words. Link had been mildly devastated when Rhett had threatened to probe his mouth while filming, and then crushingly allowed Link to call his bluff. He ‘didn’t want to hurt him’. The disappointment had been plain on his face. After the fact, Rhett had apologized for his squeamishness, and promised to make it up to him. So far, he was doing a hell of a job.

A Stand-in for Starlight by LikeASwitchInHeat - explicit, complete, 3354 words. no description for this one but it’s adorable sex in a cave during a camping trip. 

Try Me by LikeASwitchInHeat - explicit, complete, 2804 words. Rhett takes a moment for himself during a family trip that he and Link are taking with his parents the summer before they begin college - reflecting on his feelings about his future-roommate, and what he would like to do about them.

Get A Grip by LikeASwitchInHeat - explicit, complete, 3232 words. no description for this one, it’s basically Rhett fantasizing about having rough choke-y sex with Link it’s great 

2 am and I Want You by captainsourwolf - mature, complete, 2822 words. The rum sitting in his cabinet when he gets home from his honeymoon doesn’t go down as smoothly as he’d hoped it would. In fact, it burns the entire way down his throat and settles heavy and warm in his belly as he climbs into the tub and sprawls out, arms and legs hanging loose over the sides. At least the porcelain underneath him is cool to the touch.

Of Pricks and Pining by holdbythenotsharp - explicit, complete, 15954 words.  Maybe helping each other let out some steam is something they could do sometimes. It doesn’t have to be weird or nothing.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

S'up lovely! I think I might have asked this before, a lifetime ago, but I'm hungry again. Do you or anyone know of some good Tangled / Bioshock Infinite type AUs where Sherlock has spent his whole life locked in a tower and John is a rogue thief or bounty hunter etc who gets him out but ends up falling in love with him?

Hi Lovely!

Ahh, I think someone did ask awhile ago about Tangled AU fics, which I only know of only one fic:

Curled (A Tangled AU) by crimsonwinter (G, 46,330 w. || Tangled AU || Alternating POV) – Sherlock lives a limited life, high in a tower, and all he’s wanted in eighteen years of isolation is to someday break free and see the floating lights. Somehow, a string of events leads him to John Watson, a surprisingly kind thief who steals his heart. Will they escape the selfish advances of Moriarty, Sherlock’s paternal guardian, and will Sherlock find the meaning behind the silver lanterns?

As for BioShock, I have no idea if there are any AUs.

Here’s a callout for if any of my Lovelies have any fics with plot points similar to what @hersqueensguard is looking for!

Crimson pays tribute to Rani Bagh in its first look. The karandi embroidered shirt features slender cypresses, majestic chinars, magnificent palms and humble champas in a modern vertical composition rendered in the most soulful of stitches - the Chawal Tanka. The shawl is strikingly beautiful with illustrative drawings of Rani Bagh on one pallu and Mirchi borders in gold marori on the longer ends. The handmade gota neckline, gold striped pant and the prettiest kingri borders finish the outfit beautifully. @crimsonpakistan #GhulabGhar #CrimsonWinter #Winter2018 #Indigenous #Fashion #ColorMeCrimson #CrimsonPakistan.
