[aotearoa20]

February Fic Recs

And in doing so, you will fail

Author: waitingfover Characters: Maglor and Glaurung Rating: Teen Word Count: 1691

“Get out of my head,” Maglor snapped desperately. I’m here now, so I’ll stay. Afterall, if I go, I’ll be taking you with me. The pressure in Maglor's mind nearly drove him to his knees. “Show yourself,” Maglor demanded hoarsely as he raised his weapon. Do you think that putting a face to your fears will make them go away? The voice teased.  “Coward,” Maglor growled.  Well, if you insist…

In which Maglor confronts the dragon burning his lands. This fic is so good. Glaurung is delightfully twisted and scary, playing mind games with Maglor, who’s such a good target with all his guilt and fear. Very creepy, very angst, it hurts but in a good way.

28th february fic rec!

so very excited for the 28op drop!!!!

i miss you, i'm sorry (2K) by leivol6

Louis spends some time with zayn in his hotel room after his LA show. they smoke. they fuck.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

love of my life (80K) by likelarry | @likelarryfics

Harry is 36 and recently divorced after he's finally come to terms with his sexuality.

Louis is the 28 year old who helps him find his way and is everything Harry has ever dreamt of.

The one where Harry struggles to really accept who he is and Louis is there every step of the way.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

wildflower (112K) by blueskiesrry | @blueskiesrry

“You look like a wildflower,” Louis comments, shielding his eyes from the sun, the crinkles near them even more prominent in this light.

“What?” Harry’s words stumble over a surprised laugh.

“With your hair all fluffy like that.”

Harry’s fingers automatically find their way into his hair as he silently curses the humidity out on the water.

“He kind of does, doesn’t he?” Elizabeth adds.

Louis tilts his head to the side, smile softening and blurred around the edges. “Our very own long-stemmed wildflower.”

-

or: a 1950s hollywood story spanning half a decade where harry and louis are constantly growing towards, away from, & around each other and everything harry wants are things he can’t have.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Tattoos and Temptations (67K) by refusethyname | @gonebylouist

“Love,” he drawled, the word dripping with sinful allure, “I’ve got tattoos that are older than you,” he murmured, his voice a rough whisper, his breath warm against Harry’s lips.

Harry tilted his head, a teasing smirk of his own tugging at his mouth despite the rapid beat of his heart. “What can I say, I like experienced men.”

Louis chuckled low in his throat, a sound that sent heat rushing through Harry’s veins. “Cheeky little thing, aren’t you?” he murmured, his hand sliding up Harry’s back to tangle in his curls. He tugged lightly, just enough to tip Harry’s head back and expose more of his neck.

“You’re the one winding me up.”

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Can we please get back to Loving (5K) by umbroshirt

Harry's mad and Louis doesn't know why.

Or, the silent treatment fic I thought of the second Written All Over Your Face came out

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Remember Me Before You (293K) by kingsofeverything | @kingsofeverything

Desperate to find a new place to live after he comes home to find his boyfriend cheating, Harry moves into a loft with three strangers.

A New Girl AU.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Fragments of Forgotten Lives (160K) by freakingmeout | @freakingmeout28

Louis has been missing for over a year, but the first thing he remembers is waking up just a few weeks ago. Everything before that is a blur - no memory of where he’s been or who he was. Now, trying to rebuild his life in Manchester, he finds solace in therapy and a deepening connection with a fellow survivor.

When Harry, a stranger to Louis but someone from his forgotten past, recognises him on the street, everything shifts. Despite the amnesia, something about Harry feels familiar, like a lifeline. As fragments of his lost memories begin to resurface in vivid, unsettling nightmares, Louis clings to the comfort Harry brings. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth of his missing year, unlocking hidden secrets, unspoken bonds, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

[series] such a beautiful dream (112K) by staybeautiful | @harruandlou

“I had a sex dream about Harry.” Louis slapped his free hand over his mouth after the words slipped out.

Zayn paused, his hand freezing as he was about to take a bite, his head snapping up to look at Louis. Louis could relate, it’s how he’d felt that morning after he’d woken up. He’d laid in bed for fifteen minutes trying to figure out what had happened, why it had turned him on so much, and then patiently waiting for his erection to go down.

“Like… my Niall’s Harry? Harry Styles?” Zayn clarified, his face bewildered as if trying to comprehend what had just happened. “Do you even like Harry?”

“His last name is Styles?”

or Louis woke up after having a sexy dream about his best friend’s boyfriend’s best friend resolved to never think about it again. He hardly knew Harry, so what difference would it make? But when they are thrown together only a few days later, Louis had to admit, his subconscious might have been onto something.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

I Could Fall In Love With You (55K) by tippitytap

If Louis were asked to describe Harry's role in his life, the answer would have always been quite simple: best friend.

Since last year, the answer might have also been: housemate and co-parent to the cats.

What Louis didn't think would ever happen was that the answer would one day change to: the man he was falling deeply in love with.

or: Right at the beginning of a nationwide lockdown might be the worst time to fall in love with your childhood best friend and housemate. But if Louis knew one thing, it was that Harry and he would always find a way through life together.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

I Can Pull It Together (6K) by louislittletomlintum | @louislittletomlintum

Harry's eyes drifted to where Louis’ arms were slung over the back rim of the spa, exposing his underarms again. This time his fine hair was more apparent, wet from the spa and curling a little where some droplets of water hung.

Harry wanted to lick them.

He blushed almost instantly when the thought came through his brain, hoping it wasn’t obvious and that the general heat on his face would disguise his embarrassment. He’d never thought anything like that before.

or the one where Harry accidentally discovers a new part of Louis he really, really loves.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Le Sol De La Chambre (60K) by Fandom_Larry

Louis owns a boudoir business. Harry wants some pictures. What happens when an innocent omega ends up posing for an overly handsome alpha? They end up on the bedroom floor.

The Grating Roar by Engazed @engazed

In a London we almost recognise, Sherlock Holmes is a stroppy, solitary genius shirking his civic and moral duty to care for the unfortunate and dispossessed of New Britain. So what is it that possesses him to bring such a wretched, nameless creature with a dark, unspeakable past to Baker Street? Sherlock's life is about to be turned on its head, and all the world with it.

A re-read. An epic and fantastic dystopian AU. Expert world building, loads of hurt/comfort and angst, suspense galore and a beautiful character development for John and Sherlock.

Enamoured With Poetry by Lock_John_Silver @lisbeth-kk

This is basically Holmes' musings about his relationship with Watson, and the latter's poetry. There is no exact timeline, though there are some chapters that have a continuation in the next one, which will be marked as such. At present they are retired in Sussex.

Lovely and fluffy Victorian slices of life, seasoned with poetry. Written for Fluffbruary.

If Equal Affection Cannot Be by blueink3 @blueink3

Sherlock fled London a couple of years after John left him in hospital with nothing but an old walking stick and a half-hearted goodbye. Rosie grew up thinking that Sherlock died when he committed suicide in front of her father by jumping from Barts' roof. So it's somewhat awkward when they run into each other in a Sussex general store between the loaves of bread and the Mars bars...

Rosie manages a meeting between estranged Sherlock and John. It goes really well. Awesome dialogue lines between Sherlock and Rosie btw.

The Last Shred of Truth by All_I_need @the-reading-lemon

It's Christmas time, Lestrade's birthday is approaching, and Sherlock has a promise to keep.

A re-read of part 3 to get back again into the epic "Lost Myth of True Love"- series before I tackle the final part 4. Here we have the bestest development of a deeply friendly relationship between Sherlock and Sally. And I really love this OMC version of Victor Trevor who is Sherlock's epic good boyfriend.

Coming of Age and companion piece  Public, Private, Secret by  221b_careful_what_you_wish_for @  221b-carefulwhatyouwishfor

It’s not easy growing up when your father is best friends with Sherlock Holmes. It’s even harder when you stumble across their secret.

and

To the outside world, Sherlock and John are just friends. In private, they're much, much more. They've agreed to keep their relationship a secret to protect John's daughter, but it's not going to be as simple as they hoped.

First fic is Rosie POV of John and Sherlock's relationship and its change through the years. Second fic is Sherlock and John's view.

Happy 28th! Here is my February 2025 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!

Wildflower by blueskiesrry / @blueskiesrry (112k)

“You look like a wildflower,” Louis comments, shielding his eyes from the sun, the crinkles near them even more prominent in this light.

“What?” Harry’s words stumble over a surprised laugh.

“With your hair all fluffy like that.”

Harry’s fingers automatically find their way into his hair as he silently curses the humidity out on the water.

“He kind of does, doesn’t he?” Elizabeth adds.

Louis tilts his head to the side, smile softening and blurred around the edges. “Our very own long-stemmed wildflower.”

-

or: a 1950s hollywood story spanning half a decade where harry and louis are constantly growing towards, away from, & around each other and everything harry wants are things he can’t have.

Through Eerie Chaos Series by MediaWhore / @mediawhorefics (103k)

Through Eerie Chaos (102k) For as long as anyone can remember, Old Hillsbridge Manor has always been believed to be haunted. Everyone in the village agrees and keeps a respectful, fearful, distance. New in town after a bad breakup and an internship that led to disappointment rather than a permanent job, Harry Styles figures taking pictures of the decrepit building could be a great new creative project. Or at least a much-needed distraction while he searches for a job and crashes at his parents’ new house. No one warned him about the apparitions though; about the music, the laughter, the people who flicker and vanish when you call after them, the echoes of a past that should be long gone… Harry has never believed in spirits but even he can admit that there’s something weird going on. What starts as mere curiosity evolves into a full-blown investigation and soon enough, Harry finds himself making friends with an aristocrat from the 1920s and struggling with finding the best way to tell him that he’s dead. The Ghost Hunter AU where Niall lives to prove ghosts are real, Zayn is a skeptical librarian and Harry gets caught up in a century-old mystery and catches feeling in the process. Peace In Your Arms (1k) The happily ever after ...

I Could Fall In Love With You by tippitytap / @tippitytap (55k)

If Louis were asked to describe Harry's role in his life, the answer would have always been quite simple: best friend.

Since last year, the answer might have also been: housemate and co-parent to the cats.

What Louis didn't think would ever happen was that the answer would one day change to: the man he was falling deeply in love with.

or: Right at the beginning of a nationwide lockdown might be the worst time to fall in love with your childhood best friend and housemate. But if Louis knew one thing, it was that Harry and he would always find a way through life together.

Carry This Feeling by Awriterwrites, dimpled_halo / @a-writerwrites (49k)

There’s something about Louis Tomlinson that makes Harry feel unhinged. It’s in the other man’s stare, in the way he looks at Harry like he knows he’s hiding something. Like he’s not really all he says he is.

Harry’s not so sure it’s fear he’s feeling. Maybe it’s something deeper. Ever since Louis walked into his house, he’s felt on edge. He’s just being himself after all, and that’s usually enough to get just about anyone to drop their pants. But...it’s clearly not working on Louis Tomlinson. It dredges up something oily and unpleasant inside Harry. He doesn’t like it.

He’s got to lock that shit down tight.

*** Harry knows, objectively, that he shouldn't try to get his ghostwriter into bed. He knows. But...he finds it hard to resist temptation when Louis waltzes into his home and his life and turns everything upside down. And, as it turns out, Louis might just need a little turning upside down too.

Salt in Your Wounds by Halos_Boat / @halohamilton (32k)

Harry and Louis have been with each other since university; together for almost a decade and married for seven years when their marriage starts to take a tumble.

Harry doesn't think there's anything worth saving anymore, so he leaves. Louis doesn't see the use of stopping him, so he let's Harry go.

Beige by blueskiesrry / @blueskiesrry (5k)

Harry finds it hot–he always does–the way Louis is so attentive, but he finds himself more drawn to Niall and Zayn, watching as the two of them whisper softly to one another, having their own conversation in the midst of the larger, group one, one of their hands coming up to run soothingly along the other’s thigh. It reminds him of him and Louis in their early days, so completely enthralled with one another, caught up in the novelty and freshness. There could be twenty people in a room, and he’d only have eyes for one.

He glances at Louis every now and again to see if he notices as well, and Louis watches some, but he mostly watches Harry.

 or: harry and louis are in love on valentine's day. louis pretends he hates it. they host game night for their friends.

Different Than You Do by galactic_larry / @galacticlarry (2k)

Louis and Harry have been friends for a little over four years. Louis has been in love with Harry for most of those years, even if he didn’t want to admit it at first.

What happens when he impulsively decides to tell him?

Don't Call Me Baby by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt (2k)

A short and cliché roommates AU inspired by To Be So Lonely, where they’re both oblivious to each other’s feelings and Harry gets sad and jealous over nothing. It works out in the end.

Happy Valentine's Day, You Cockroach by allwaswell16 / @allwaswell16 (2k)

Harry Styles, new director of the Milltown Zoo, has a great idea for a Valentine's Day themed fundraiser. For a donation, they'll name cockroaches after people's exes and then feed them to the meerkats on a live stream. He just didn't foresee how many cockroaches would end up with his name...

HAPPY FEMSLASH FEBRUARY 🎉

here's my little reclist :)

.

In the Wake of the Winchesters - iamfoxfire / @supersapphical Cassie/Jess | 22k | 5/7

After her mother's passing, Cassie's grief drove her away from her hometown. Now she moves around the US, visiting any town that might have a story and publishing articles about her travels. Out in California, she hears rumors about a potential haunting but when she goes to investigate, she meets a ghost completely unlike the murderous spirits she's tangled with in the past. This ghost isn't deliberately violent but she is increasingly desperate in her attempts to be heard. Cassie realizes she is in a unique position to try to help this spirit over to the other side except that the more time they spend together, the more the strange connection between them grows.

-> the ghost sex really haunts me, and the description making the house so alive still inspire me to this day

.

neatly-labelled leftovers - gayliens Mary/Jody | 3.1k

Mary hates Jody, she realises faintly, as she opens the fridge to a Tupperware stack of neatly-labelled leftovers. Green bean casserole, turkey chilli, maple-glazed pork chops. All homemade, probably. Jody has two kids of her own and Mary’s own kids to boot, a steady job and a good hunting gig and time to mash her own potatoes by hand. All Mary has to show for twenty-nine years is an aborted life of choosing hunting and home at the wrong times for the wrong reasons, a wedding ring she hurled into the woods two weeks after being resurrected, and a decent pussy-eating technique. None of this, technically, is Jody’s fault. But god, Mary hates her for it. or, mary stays with jody after asa's funeral. things get a little complicated

-> stunning writing !!! !! !!!!!!

.

Fil Rose - @limbel Jo Harvelle | 1.3k

Pink was the color of the minidress that clung tight and glittery and oppressive to the smooth-plastic body of the Barbie that came out of the package, curly red ribbons and giftwrap now laying all scrunched next to Jo’s toes. Four stills from Jo's life, connected by a thread

-> jo gender thoughts in beautiful poetic prose

.

Roadhouse Girl - Jo Daily universe - thereweresunflowers / @mrcowboydeanwinchester serie of 3 works. Jo Harvelle, Jo/Cassie | 42.9k total

Works inspired by Jo's Blog and set within the universe of my Jo manifesto fic Jo Daily - usually pre-season, in the Roadhouse.

-> and basically anything by Ola, half of which is in my to-read list already.. an icon

.

Wolf Like Me - schmevil Bela/Meg | 4k

Meg takes Bela of the rack.

-> such an interesting exploration of Hell and being a demon

.

caution blocks you from the wind - @captainangua Mary/Rowena | 3.5k

Rowena invites Mary out for drinks

.

Target Practice - Petrichora_Vellichor / @petrichoravellichor Mary/Rowena | 2k

Mary and Rowena share a moment on the bunker's shooting range.

-> both of these are Mary/Rowena thesises to me :)

...

AND if I may.... here's my own Mary fic 💕

amidst ashes and feathers - anarchistamara Mary/Amara | 6.7k

"It's a matter of days until she crosses paths with another hunter. And she might not be recognized, but what could she say if they asked her name? Or where she learned to be that good? She can't be Winchester. She can't be Campbell either. She's not sure she can even be Mary." - Mary is brought back from the dead by Amara (again). This time, she doesn't want to do the same mistakes. This time, she wants to be herself. Whoever the hell that may be.

Fic Recs (February 2025)

And now for February recs! (You can find my January post here)

As a reminder, I'm using these monthly rec posts to prioritize spreading the word about authors that are not already on Tumblr (or who appear inactive), with a focus on 1) WIPs/recently written stories (updated or completed within the last year) and 2) NSFW fics, because those could always use more love! If something is a WIP, I've noted that in bold/purple next to the author, and if something is NSFW, I've noted that in bold/red, also next to the author.  

Life has been kicking my ass so far this year, so while I didn’t get to as many stories in my bookmarks as I’d wanted to, below the cut are 5 Yuri!!! on Ice (actually 6, because I’m including one of my own WIPs, lol), and 3 Fruits Basket stories that I think deserve more attention.

---

Yuri!!! on Ice Recs

1) Synthetic (28K, by achillean_dreamer) - WIP, NSFW

Relevant Ships/Tags: Viktor/Yuuri, Cyberpunk, Mild Gore, Violence

I truly wish I could leave a hundred kudos on this fic. I’m drawn to scifi stories, and this one is very Black Mirror-esque, which I absolutely love. 

It’s set in 2049 in a post-war dystopian society that has been experiencing low birth rates, necessitating the government to fund the development of remarkably lifelike droids capable of experiencing and generating the various forms of love via technology called Synthetic.

Viktor – who in this fic-verse is still a champion skater and the son of two famous, late war heroes – is asked to become a sperm donor for the SHIP Institute’s Eros line of androids, and when he pays a visit to the Synthetic procurement chamber, Yuuri – a droid that operates quite differently from his counterparts – ends up dancing with him and seducing him just like he does in canon. 

There’s palpable chemistry between them, and in the middle of having sex, Yuuri invites Viktor to come back to visit him once the skating season is over: a prospect Viktor finds exhilarating. However, just after Yuuri climaxes, he starts to cry from overwhelm, and then begins panicking, shouting about how he’ll be labeled defective, as well as “I don’t want to die! I don’t want to be shut off!”

Before Viktor can parse what’s happening, they are being interrupted by SHIP Institute staff, who forcibly escort him out, while mentioning something about Yuuri experiencing a malfunction error. The next 3 chapters follow Viktor trying to piece together what has happened to Yuuri, who has been removed from the SHIP Institute, a task he’s aided in with help from Yurio (who is a droid in the Agape line). The pacing and suspense build-up in this story is so good, and it’s also just really well-written with an impressive amount of detail when it comes to things like settings and the the kind of technology at play in this society. 

Excerpt (from Chapter 2):

Minami perked up, the swash of red on his fringe puffing out as his eyes twinkled, “Yuuri-kun is soo cool!” he exclaimed. “He’s not like other—” His train of thought was derailed by a throttling high-pitched noise emanating from the device in his hands. He whapped it a few times, shrinking down in embarrassment. “Sorry, I got one of the codes wrong.” His eyes flitted over the screen, reading the data streaming in random digits and letters Victor couldn’t piece together.

An awkward silence fell into the lull as Victor stood, trying to piece together the idea of the Eros droid with the figure in front of him. With his eyes cast to the floor, he seemed small, out of sorts, not oozing with seduction like the android Chris had spoken of. When Chris relived his own Eros experiences, he’d flutter his long lashes, flaunt his most come-hither grin, and let his baritone voice drip out like smoothly. Of course, Victor didn’t know whether to laugh or shiver at the idea, but the thought lingered in the back of his mind enough that he found himself here, looking at someone more prepared for a funeral than a dalliance, except for the spark of fire brimming in Yuuri’s eyes every time he caught his gaze. 

Minami peeled himself away from the screen, puffing happily as he tapped the last pieces of information in, closing the lid with a snap. “Alright! I’m done!”

“Everything in order?” Dr. Nishigori asked, her voice tinged with positive expectancy even as she bit her lip anxiously.

Minami snapped his head up, nodding furiously until he became a swirl of blonde and red over his white lab coat. “Yes. Everything’s set up! Yuuri-kun will perform sooooo good! Optimal!”

2) Make A Blind Eye See (3K, by Fifthnameattempt) 

Relevant Ships/Tags: Yuuri & Takeshi, 5+1 Things, Growing Up, Coming Out, or rather failing to come out

I don’t think I’ve ever read a Takeshi POV fic, and this one is so cute and funny. It’s a 5+1 story focusing on just how oblivious Takeshi is to the fact that Yuuri is so incredibly gone for Viktor (as in, long before the “Living Legend” ever arrives in Hasetsu), and I personally love the idea that everyone in Hasetsu – and I mean literally everyone, including his triplet daughters – has figured Yuuri out for years before things ever “click” for Takeshi, lol.

Excerpt:

“And he - he - he brought that stupid puppy all the way to the rink last week and it’s all Yuuko-chan wants to talk about and it’s like she doesn’t even notice me when stupid Yuuri’s around and – !”

He breaks off, cheeks turning pink as he realizes how close to admitting his greatest secret he is. Mari is looking at him like he’s grown a second head right in front of her.

With a quirked smile, she drops her hands to her hips, and observes, “Wow. You really think about him a lot, don’t you?”

His blush only intensifies when he looks down at his skates. “...no.”

The flat denial does nothing to change Mari’s opinion, but she gives a small, resigned sigh. “Okay, kid, here’s the deal: I’m sorry your parents make you feel like shit for not skating as well as him, but that isn’t his fault, got it? Stop taking it out on him. He really looks up to you and the only time he doesn’t look happy when he talks about skating is when he’s trying to figure out why you hate him so much.”

“I don’t hate him,” Takeshi speaks without thinking, then pauses, considers the words, and is surprised to find they’re actually true. Yeah, it’s annoying that he’s a year younger and so much better than Takeshi already, but Yuuri’s actually pretty nice other than that.

“Good,” Mari says, her dark eyes assessing him and seeming to find what she was looking for with a nod. “And as for that girl-stuff, I wouldn’t worry about it.”

“There’s no girl stuff!” Takeshi insists, even though at the same moment the sound of Yuuko laughing over on the ice forces him to lift his eyes, automatically searching for her.

3) Hold Me Hard and Mellow (3K, by maydei) - NSFW

Relevant Ships/Tags: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov, Light Dom/sub, Blindfolds

When I find a Dom Yuuri/sub Victor fic that involves blindfolds AND rimming, it feels like I've hit the freaking jackpot, lmao. This fic is gorgeously written, and I absolutely love how much emphasis there is on Victor being in a position where he has to give up complete control and how hard that is for him, in spite of the fact that he and Yuuri have played like this before. 

I'm a sucker for pet names when it comes to Viktuuri -- lol anyone who has read my stories probably knows this -- so that was yet another element of their fun that made everything feel very sweet while at the same time, very much still being a display of teasing/Yuuri's mercilessness as a Dom. 

Excerpt:

A tremulous little moan makes its way from between Victor’s teeth. His lips part, pulling air in through his mouth and over his soft palate, dragging over his teeth and tongue. “I’ll try,” Victor says. “I’m trying.”

Yuuri replies with an indistinct murmur, his fingertips wandering Victor’s sides, over the mountains of his hip bones, dipping between the subtle valleys of his ribs. Victor feels him shuffle closer, settle at his side, and from the balance it feels like Yuuri has risen up on his knees—

Without warning, Victor is lifted and flipped face down. He yelps in shock; keens when he feels Yuuri settle over his back, the bare length of his erect cock a warm line against his lower spine. When Yuuri’s lips find his ear, it’s all Victor can manage to reach forward and take hold of the comforter instead of arching back to seek relief. Blunt pressure pushes his thighs apart—Yuuri’s knee as he settles between Victor’s legs.

He is spread out for Yuuri’s pleasure and amusement.

Shivers traverse his spine; Victor’s muscles twitch and spasm beneath his skin, overcome with longing. He wants so badly to be touched. 

4) Even This Moment (15K, by lily_winterwood) - NSFW 

Relevant Ships/Tags: Viktor/Yuuri, Yuuri/Others, Viktor/Others, Black Mirror AU, Angst with a Happy Ending, Arranged Marriage, Soulmates

This might be cheating since I technically started reading this fic right at the beginning of March, but with my Black Mirror hyperfixation coming back over the last 2 weeks, I just had to put this story on the list. Warning: at one point, it will feel like your heart is getting STOMPED on, but it’s so, so worth it.

This is an AU of the season 4, fourth episode of Black Mirror: ‘Hang the DJ’. If you’re not familiar with that one, it follows Amy and Frank, who get matched by a dating algorithm for certain periods of time which they must adhere to, all for the purposes of the system learning their preferences and assigning them an eventual long-term partner. To borrow a quote from the fic: “The system must assess your reactions to a multitude of scenarios in order to create a comprehensive profile by which to pair you with your ultimate match, replies the device.”

In this AU, Viktor and Yuuri meet as first-timers brand new to the matchmaking system, and when they tap their algorithmic devices – lol, they call the devices ‘Coach’, which I thought was a cute detail – at the very start of their date to reveal how long they are matched for, they see a bewilderingly short amount of time, given how they seem to have instant chemistry: only 12 hours.

At the close of their “relationship”, they are both clearly regretful around having to part ways, as well as each starting to doubt the entire premise of algorithmic matching…especially when Yuuri next gets paired with Seung-Gil for a 1 year relationship, and Viktor gets paired with JJ for a 9 month relationship. 

I won’t spoil what happens with the rest of the story, but aldfjladjsdk, it is SO, so good! I love how it keeps the original spirit of Hang the DJ while also infusing it with a distinct Viktuuri flavor that is so heart-wrenchingly them (i.e. filled with wonderfully angsty pining, some really great sex, lots of feels). And the ending is so, so satisfying.

Excerpt:

Viktor looks up, just in time to meet Yuuri’s brown eyes. They shine contemplatively as he tilts his head and smiles, and for a moment, Viktor has to remember how to breathe.

“Sorry, what?”

Yuuri’s smile grows wider. “Do you think they’re really in love?”

“Well, they’re each other’s ultimate match,” Viktor says, shrugging. “The system has a 99.8% chance of success, so they’re probably it.”

“Hm,” replies Yuuri, reaching over to Viktor’s cake and swiping himself a glob of frosting, popping it into his mouth in a way that gets the blood in Viktor’s head going in the opposite direction. “I suppose I should have more faith in the system, but…”

A sudden, tense silence falls between them. Viktor watches the other man fiddle with his wine glass, a light flush dusting his cheeks as he picks up a napkin for his fingers. He feels drawn into Yuuri’s orbit, a wayward planet caught in the gravitational force of a star.

“Well, I was going to say nice to meet you, but you stole some of my frosting, so…” he jokes, and Yuuri laughs a little at that.

“Interesting shoes,” he says, gesturing to the brouging along Viktor’s oxfords.

“Interesting tie,” Viktor retorts, gesturing to the navy monstrosity threatening to strangle Yuuri’s neck.

Yuuri laughs sheepishly, tugging at it. “Listen, I’m sometimes told I look like I get dressed in the dark, you really don’t need to dig it in,” he says.

“I could think of a lot of better uses for that tie,” replies Viktor, and Yuuri arches an eyebrow, stepping impossibly closer.

“You could?” he asks, and Viktor’s breath hitches a little when he catches the shimmer of the lanterns in Yuuri’s eyes, across the swipe of his tongue as he wets his lips. The very air feels golden between them, golden and warm and infinite —

5) but a whisper from your lips (and I fall to my knees) (7K, by sunderwear) - NSFW 

Relevant Ships/Tags: Viktor & Yuuri, Dom/sub, Kink Exploration, Top Katsuki Yuuri, Nude Photos

By now, my smut preferences are probably obvious, lol, but hey...I like what I like, and that's smut in LOTS and lots of detail. The feelings are obviously a critical component, too, and this fic does such a good job of delving into the emotional side of Viktor bottoming for the first time, with beautiful emphasis on the trust these two have in one another. Plus service sub Viktor/gentle Dom Yuuri is just about everything I could ever ask for in terms of being both hot as well as sweet.  

Note: you must be a registered member of the Archive in order to view this fic

Excerpt:

Smiling up at him, Yuuri asks, “Would you like to ride me, Victor?”

Victor nods, and he’s desperate enough for it that he finds his voice.  “Yes, yes please, Yuuri - “

Yuuri cuts him off with a chuckle.  “Okay, okay, you can.  But first, I want a kiss.”

Eager, Victor bends and steals Yuuri’s lips, but lets him control it.  Yuuri kisses him sweetly, one hand stroking Victor’s hair and the other cupping his cheek.  Victor feels his heart stutter, swelling with how tender Yuuri is for him.

Yuuri releases him a long moment later.  “Alright, sweetheart, go ahead.”

Victor climbs into Yuuri's lap and reaches back for his cock, and wonders if Yuuri can feel his hand shaking from the anticipation.  With a soft sigh, he presses the stiff head against his hole and lowers himself down, and - wow.  Yuuri is achingly hard; Victor wonders how he's waited so long without touching himself, and his own cock throbs in sympathy.  

A moment later, the feeling of being filled overcomes him.  His focus narrows to the spot where Yuuri joins him, sharp as a blade.  He can't contain his voice, and a low moan fights it's way out of his throat as he sinks down completely.  This is how it’s supposed to be - not with fingers or toy, but with Yuuri’s cock.

Ok, and lastly for Yuri!!! on Ice, I’m including my own NSFW fic, which I’m hoping to post the last chapter of later today or tomorrow: Push it, want it, own it (currently at 12K).

This is a post-canon, Dom/sub fic that was an excuse for me to write yet another installment of “Viktor riling Yuuri up in order to flip the latter's possessive switch”. Essentially, the premise is that Yuuri and Viktor have been apart for a week, and on the day of Yuuri’s return home from a "besties getaway" with Phichit, they end up FaceTiming and discussing the results of an annual fan-voter contest: Golden Skate’s ‘Best Ass in Men’s Figure Skating’. Yuuri is the winner, a fact that Viktor can’t be more thrilled about. What Viktor is not such a fan of, however, is the invasive commentary on his own post-retirement body. 

As a way to both clap back at the fans who have critiqued his ass, as well as up the ante on the urgency of their reunion sex, Viktor ends up filming a livestream while Yuuri is flying home. The last few minutes of this stream involve him jumping rope to a very NSFW song, with his laptop camera positioned to get an ideal view of his ass, lmao.

Excerpt below (from Chapter 2):

“Faster. Fuck me good, baby,” Yuuri snapped in demand, the directive slicing through the weighted air of their surroundings with ease, prompting Viktor to whimper and scrunch his eyes in overwhelm.

“Show me how happy you are that I’m back home,” Yuuri continued a bit more softly, before bringing his hand around in a curl over the back of his neck to clutch at his t-shirt.

“I’m–, I’m so happy, Yuranya,” Viktor said with his eyes still closed, and all the sincerity he could muster.

It was true, and not only for the fact that he’d missed being touched over the last week so much that it ached.

As he’d been all too happy to expound upon in his livestream, missing Yuuri went far beyond the physical. There’d been countless times over the past 7 days when something had happened – something funny related to their dogs, or thought-provoking during a Papio staff meeting – and Viktor’s smile had dimmed in an instant, remembering he couldn’t turn to his side to see what his spouse thought. He and Yuuri had exchanged frequent texts and even talked every single day over FaceTime, but it just wasn’t the same; he wanted to be able to hear Yuuri’s cute, lilting laugh in person, not through the tinny connection of a phone.

His husband’s hips twisted nimbly under his heated palms and the press of lips to his brow bone made Viktor’s heart swell with tenderness.

“Show me then, lyubimiy,” Yuuri muttered against his skin. “Make me yours.”

Fruits Basket Recs

1) A Fabulous Style (1.5K, by modzy78)  

Relevant Ships/Tags: Ritsu & Ayame, Personal Growth (note: this is my tag, not one on the story), Gender Exploration (again, note this is my own tag) 

aldfjlksdfjlksadfjklsdf, I apologize for the incoherency, but I am not kidding when I tell you that I have LONGED to see a story like this written ever since I first discovered Fruits Basket (the manga). Natsuki Takaya has been open about the fact that she didn't have much room to explore Ritsu's character in the original run, and if it'd been written in current times, one of the things I'd most want to see is an intentional embrace of gender nonconformity instead of Ritsu (seemingly) "giving up" on femininity entirely towards the end of canon. 

Of course, who better than to help with such a journey of self-discovery than the one person Ritsu seems to admire most in terms of confidence? Enter Ayame in all of his glorious bluntness, lol.

This story is a PERFECT depiction of what I imagine the beginning of Ritsu's gender exploration journey could look like, as it involves Ayame and Mine doing mini style "makeovers" for both Ritsu and Mitsuru; this is done under the guise of getting the two of them suitable outfits to wear during Tohru & Kyo's wedding afterparty. There's a moment in it where Ayame tells Ritsu that his (note: in this fic, Ritsu is using masculine pronouns) gender nonconformity is something he's always admired, and it genuinely had me tearing up. 

If you love Ritsu and/or Ayame, or perhaps you just long to see more overt embrace of gender nonconformity in Furuba, I think you'd love this story. And, while this is probably controversial for a number of reasons, this fic got my creative juices flowing to envision what a similar kind of thing might look like for Ayame & Akito 

Excerpt (Ayame is the one who starts off speaking):

His eyes swept over Ritsu as he led him to the waiting car. "Which does lead me to question your current choice in attire. Just where did you procure that suit?"

Ritsu's face reddened. "I...um...got it from the tailor my father uses. I'm sorry if it does not meet your standards!" He placed the boxes in the car and allowed Ayame to lead him to the back seat. Mine was already pushing Mitsuru into the front passenger seat with a grin.

Ayame sighed. "It's not my standards that matter. It's yours. It does not fit your style at all. It feels as if you are a caricature of what you think a grown man should wear to a wedding. It completely lacks personality. Frankly, I expected better from someone with your fashion sense."

"I'm so sorry! I wanted to show that I'm a worthwhile man instead of a source of shame. I was ensured this is what most men wear to weddings."

"True, but most men are dull when left to their own devices. Tell me, Ritchan, do you see yourself as a man?"

2) tired eyes (2K, by ohmygodwhy) 

Relevant Ships/Tags: Haru & Yuki, First Crush, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse

The true heart of Fruits Basket, for me, anyway, lies in its platonic relationships and the way we see characters caring for one another or inspiring transformation in one another separate from anything romantic in nature. 

My absolute favorite is the friendship between Haru and Yuki. Haru is very open in canon about the fact that Yuki is his first love, but just b/c the latter doesn't reciprocate his feelings, doesn't make their relationship any less moving. 

tired eyes -- which was written last year, for Fruits Basket Mondays -- is told vignette style, with 3 different scenes that capture the ways in which Haru shows Yuki support and understanding, and I guarantee it'll move you. The care isn't just one-sided either; as the last vignette shows, Yuki understands Haru is far smarter than he's ever given credit for (due to the zodiac story about the "dumb ox" getting tricked), and makes sure to let him know that he recognizes that.

Excerpt:

“The ox wasn’t stupid,” Yuki finally says, voice small and soft the way it was back then, before he found his voice. “He was just helpful.”

He could be talking about the legend or he could be talking about, right now. Saying that Haru is helping, even if all he does is talk to him. He knows it’s more than most people do. The adults don’t do shit, and that includes not making Yuki feel like a human being.

“Yeah, exactly,” Haru says, chest all warm, “He was giving his friend a ride. Hey, one day I’m gonna get a motorcycle.”

“What?” Yuki’s eyes scrunched up all cute at the sudden change in topic.

“A motorcycle, like the ones on TV. They’re super cool, and I could get the gloves and everything. I could give you rides all the time.”

“Rides to where?” Yuki asks, but he sounds interested, and that’s enough to make Haru feel like he’s not just a stupid kid. His parents don’t like his motorcycle idea.  

3) The Cost for Silence (56K, by AveSolace) 

Relevant Ships/Tags: Tohru/Kyo, Machi/Yuki, Haru/Rin, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Suspense, Blackmail

I’ve read/loved another fic by this author and adore their writing style/ability to capture emotion organically, even when writing from several different POVs. It truly shines in this canon divergent story about the Sohma family being blackmailed, and their trying to discover the identity of the person threatening to leak video of an animal transformation to the public.

I’ve read up to Chapter 7, but even without having finished the story I feel confident listing this as a rec because the suspense build-up is so good. 

And not only that, but each chapter contains several different POV’s, and all of the exposition as well as dialogue – whether it be from Tohru’s POV, Kyo’s, Yuki’s, or some of the OC’s within the Sohma family who are tasked with getting intel on the blackmailer – feel so fitting with the urgency of the situation. There is a real backdrop of anxiety/dread in this fic, as it pertains to Akito finding out about the situation as they try to triage, as well as each of the Juniishi pondering what might happen if they fail to figure out the identity of the blackmailer before they are forced to pay the ransom. 

Excerpt (from Chapter 2, Shigure is the one who starts off speaking):

“So, what we need to do—and I really see no way around informing the others about this, but that’s on Kureno and Hatori—is try to remember every time we’ve transformed somewhere outside of the estate, the hospital, or the safety of our own homes, and if there may have been the possibility of us being recorded.  Say, there were security cameras, or there were a few people nearby—even if they didn’t seem to notice; they could have been discreet about it—someone may have been hiding and watching us, or taking some other video and we may have shown up in the background, or someone really sus had passed by and we got a bad vibe, anything.”

“And we have to figure that out in a week!?” Kyo blurted out.

“Ideally, yes,” Shigure replied lightly.  “Preferably a little bit sooner than that.”

“Just pay them the money, then!” He was clearly panicking, his voice trembling slightly and his pupils constricted as he slammed his hand on the table. Tohru couldn’t help the sadness flooding her heart as she watched him. “There’s no way we can know for sure if some creep recorded us!”

“No, I don’t expect anyone to know with certainty,” Shigure clarified. “Just like with what Momiji’s father is doing, this is simply meant to narrow down the possibilities.”

“So what!? That won’t do jack shit!”

“Which is why the real MVP here is our hacker. If all goes well, he’ll track down exactly who did this.”

“And if he can’t!?”

“Then the Sohmas will pay the money, Stupid Cat,” Yuki grumbled, gripping his head in his hand and leaning his elbow on the table. “Obviously they’re not gonna let this creep post it on the internet.  They’ll pay him off and get it back…”

“Why don’t we just do that already and end this!?” Kyo demanded. “Why drag it out!? This is impossible!”

“What do you think will happen next after that?”  Yuki raised his eyes and glowered at him. “Once we pay them off, destroy the video, and the dust settles?  How do you think Akito will respond to a mess like this?”

Unfortunately, between work, travel, and fic exchange deadlines I ran out of steam for my annual Feedback February celebration. This final catch-up post collects all of the recs I had left and I'm not planning any more. (Still, if there's a question on this list I didn't get around to that you want me to answer, let me know.)

😭 A fic that ripped your heart out (but it hurt so good)

darkness, moonrise, @a-whale-bone's Rogue One/His Dark Materials fusion - like the original movie, its tragic ending is heartbreaking perfection. 

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

Oh, so many! All of the fics that do things I can't do: plotty action/drama, or complex dual timelines, or low-stakes but still compelling modern AUs like the switch.

👀 A fic that you love a normal amount

Say Anything was a formative movie for me and The Biggest Fool is the perfect post-canon coda. If I were a Hollywood producer, it would have been filmed as the sequel.

😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day

In a cranky phase last week, I re-read @lucymonster's wonderful gift for me after the world ends and it lifted my mood.

28th appreciation fic recs: February edition

Hi! Welcome to the February fic rec list! I wanted to put together all the fics I've read and loved over this month for the 28th appreciation, so here they are! Click on the links for full tags and summaries. If you read any of these make sure to show the authors some love by leaving kudos and comments, and sharing any fic posts!

☁️To you I can admit, I'm just too soft for all of it by @starryhaze28

(28k / not rated / non traditional a/b/o)

“Harry?” Louis asks when he hears the frantic crying coming through the speaker. “H, darling what's wrong?” Concerned, Louis puts on his shoes as he keeps hearing the sobs. It’s the middle of the night and the phone call has definitely pulled Louis out of his deep slumber, but Harry is crying, and Louis has to be with him. “It’ll be okay, baby, I'm gonna come over, okay? You just- Haz you have to send me your address, yeah? Can you do that for me?” Louis asks, trying to remain as poised as possible as he presses his phone between his ear and shoulder so he can grab his jacket. “No.” Harry cries out. “It's all wrong, Lou- It’s-” Another sob. “I hate it, Lou, I hate it so, so much, make it stop.” the nesting shop au

Thoughts: the softest dearest thing you'll read, characters I would die for, a true comfort read

☁️While you're figuring it out by @silverstuff50

(4k / E / wholesome bdsm)

Harry is in a rut and his mood is getting lower and lower. Louis helps him with love and kink.

Thoughts: if you love kink, and if you love the softness and emotions that come with established relationships, then this is for you, its the perfect combination!

☁️On that note by @allwaswell16

(6k / E / pen pals, getting together)

Louis’ office job on an omega only floor would be absolutely fine, if not for the alphas he and his friends have to deal with in the building. But although they’ve never met face to face, the friendly notes sent between him and Harry in Purchasing help him get through the day.

Thoughts: this was so cute, and Louis' character esp is so endearing, and the way they get together is so precious !

☁️(drippin' on me) till my feet are wet by @justanothershadeofblue

(3k / E / watersports)

They’ve known each other so long, is the thing. More than a decade, at this point; their entire adult lives. They know each other with a deep and abiding familiarity, know each other's ins and outs, hopes and fears, secrets and kinks. There’s nothing hidden between them, and little that escapes each other’s notice. All of which is to say, Louis knows exactly what Harry’s up to, making this huge pitcher of lemonade and waiting until the lads were out the door to bring it outside and press a cold glass into Louis’ hand. He’d poured the liquid carefully, sunglasses concealing his gaze as he filled it to the top. “Drink up,” Harry had said, and Louis had, tipping the contents down his throat in one long pull, letting a few drops slip free and run down, chilled and sweet, into his short beard. He’d caught Harry’s eye and held out his glass for more. “Good,” Harry had said, voice deep, and filled it again.

Thoughts: so. fucking. hot. And bonus: the tenderness that comes with established relationship. Best of both worlds really, so it's perfection.

☁️We don't fight fair by @hellolovers13

(2k / E / chase, non traditional a/b/o)

“What, you think I'll just roll over for you now?” The smirk on Louis’ face was almost devilish. “Yes,” He breathed against Harry’s lips, cocky and sure, like it was a fact of life. It sent all kinds of shivers through Harry. God, but he wanted to. Wanted Louis to have him right against this wall, let everyone see how he fell apart under him. But not tonight. Harry fixed his posture, standing up straighter and trying to get himself under control. “I don't think so, omega.” Or: Nothing like a little chase to start off Louis' heat.

Thoughts: *muffled screaming*. Genuinely was so hot I was speechless for a good while. If that's not convincing: there's a chase. And it's O/O. I'm begging y'all to go read this.

☁️Man spreading by @red-pandaaa

(2k / E / pwp)

“Manspreading is such a bad habit,” Harry said, mainly because he felt like he was obligated to. “Is that so?” Louis said, in a tone that challenged Harry to disagree. Harry nodded as firmly as he could. “I think you should try to tone down the manspreading a bit.” “Maybe I should spread out my man instead,” Louis mused. OR Harry complains about Louis manspreading, Louis makes a joke, and rimming ensues

Thoughts: short and sexy, i loved it sm, this ones for the uh...rimming enthusiasts!

☁️Trippin', Stumblin' by @itsnotreal

(4k / M / friends to lovers fluff)

Harry was falling for Louis. No, really. He was literally falling for Louis— well, okay, maybe it was because of him. Technicalities. Or the one where Harry is super clumsy but still manages to catch Louis’ attention.

Thoughts: nervous awkward harry is so precious to me, this was so fucking cute and PRECIOUS

☁️You can try to hide by @itsnotreal

(6k / E / cnc, hunter prey kink)

Harry has managed to keep his innermost thoughts at bay when he’s around Louis, but what happens when he shows up unannounced one night when Harry’s at his most vulnerable.

Thoughts: read tags! cnc done WELL, so gripping so thrilling, so hot. The mind reading is SUCH a nice touch ahhhh

☁️Shut your mouth, baby by @larry-hiatus

(3k / E / new years smut)

While fooling around in a closet at a New Year’s Eve party, Louis can’t seem to keep quiet. All he needs to do is hold off until midnight, when Harry will finally uncover his mouth and let him come at full volume.

Thoughts: Em never misses with the smut so this is another banger, bonus: desperate overwhelmed Louis. So. 10/10 in my mind.

And that's it! Yet another short list bc I've been so tired and falling asleep before I could read sigh. Also yes literally almost all are smut but in my defence it's because I didn't get time to read long fics and short ones are usually smut. But then again we love and support smut in this house so you're welcome. Send some love to the authors if you check out any of these!!
