Hello! I'm an ace-spectrum person, and I'm pretty new to fandoms and I struggled finding SFW/Sex-averse friendly fics, so I thought I would give a few recommendations for those interested!

Lemme know if there's any interest in a Sherlock one or a Harry Potter one!

Fics

TW: Discussion of death, dystopian world, violence, physcological abuse, SH, s**c*d*l thoughts/idealations, smut

Can I please rec Love in the Time of Bugs? It's an adorable, somewhat-angsty Human AU with chronically ill & pet shop worker Crowley, and fussy, anxious bookshop owner Aziraphale, who struggles with family issues (namely: fucking Gabriel, though Muriel, his younger sibling, is absolutely adorable and wonderful and possibly the best part of the fic). I loved it so so much, and it only has around 1.5k hits; that is a crime!! <3

Thank you for the recommendation!

Love in the Time of Bugs by ProdigalPragmatist [Rated T, 37K words]

A tarantula, a snake, and a veritable angel. Pet store employee Crowley is about to experience a meet-cute, all over some roaches. Family drama flares alongside tempers, and Aziraphale can’t keep his secrets forever. Soho’s gossip has never been more active, which is a feat in and of itself. Things are going to get interesting.

Relationships: Fourteenth Doctor/The Master (Simm)

Characters: Fourteenth Doctor (Doctor Who) The Master (Simm)

Summary:

He drowns in the deluge, doesn’t need to be held down to be submerged; and he knows he’ll be washed out by the end of this, strewn across the ground, a wobbling stack of boulders ruined by the sea.

A nameless alleyway on a nameless planet and a named Time Lord who flinches with its utterance — they've never kissed with these faces, and the Master's hand is tight around his mouth.

Relationship: Will Graham & Hannibal Lecter

Characters: Will Graham Hannibal Lecter

Summary:

“Locked behind the walls of Troy,” Hannibal muses. “Do you feel as though you’re under siege?” Will huffs, bunching the curtains to peer onto his porch. Glowing eyes stare back at him, demonic in the low light. “A horse I could deal with,” he says. “A wooden one would be even better. I have hammers and saws, I could manage that.” “But not a cat.” “No,” Will drawls, “not a cat.”

six dogs. one will graham. it's funny how quickly things can change.

Hi!! I just discovered your blog! Thank you for providing such an amazing service!! You're doing the Lord's (Satan's?) work!

Was wondering if you could suggest some good fics that take place between the showdown at the Tadfield air field and the morning of the kidnappings. Adult content is fine, though I'm not sure if I need to specify that.

Thank you again!

Hello and welcome! Did you see our pinned masterpost? It has a huge list of tags we use, including #the night at crowley's flat and #bodyswap, which is where you'll find loads of fics already recommended, so check those out! Here are some more to add to the collection...

All the Hugs in the World by EdosianOrchids901 (T)

After swapping appearances, Crowley and Aziraphale try to comfort each other through their anxiety. When a teary Aziraphale admits that he’s afraid their current hug might be their last, can Crowley reassure him? Now featuring bonus hugs.

And a Borrowed Car by contritecactite (T)

"Try a miracle." "What? Why? What miracle?" "Just—anything. Slow down the car or something." "That would be a miracle," Aziraphale grumbles, and he focuses on doing just that. The Jeep drops to such a crawl that the driver behind them gives his horn an angry series of beeps. Or: Aziraphale falls asleep in the stolen Jeep, Crowley remembers that his flat could use some cleaning, and they end up sharing a very nice room somewhere and talking about things they've lost and time they've wasted. It turns out all right in the end.

a drink sounds lovely by oops_witchcraft (M)

No, It's past time. He told himself. With resolve, he reached out again, and grabbed the demon’s hand. Crowley’s calm exterior fell and he looked up in confusion, his body rigid. “Aziraphale, what-” “I love you, Crowley.” Okay, so not exactly subtle, but it was a start. ----- That deleted "night at Crowley's flat” scene, but they watch The Sound of Music.

Something to Break the Fall by inconvenientlydiscorporated (G)

It happened because, as his chest tightened and his mortal teeth clenched themselves together to brace for the impact, he needed something to ground him to Earth. He needed that ledge to find purchase, that branch to grab on the way down. He needed, quite frankly, for something to break the fall. And anyway, they like holding hands.

a step (a leap), and a landing by ProdigalPragmatist (NR)

The bookshop is still smouldering and the Bentley is in pieces. Aziraphale is overwhelmed and there's one line still left to cross. Crowley has a perfectly good flat but it's hiding its own horror, and it's hiding its own secrets. An obligatory 'Night at Crowley's Flat' fic ft. a panic attack, hot cocoa, and the threat of a tomorrow that might not come.

The Devil in Your Eyes by Luinlothana (T)

After the world did not end, Aziraphale and Crowley return to Crowley's flat to figure out what to do next. It's harder than it seems but each of them tries their best to protect the other. If only they could make sense of the last prophecy...

'Get out of the way.' The Master made his choice; he stole back his fate. And then he woke up. Through the Doctor's TARDIS, he wanders. He's not himself, but the Doctor tells him he's perfect, just like this. The scabs of their past define the scars of their future—who is the Master becoming?

Relationships: Fourteenth Doctor/The Master (Simm)

Characters: Fourteenth Doctor (Doctor Who) The Master (Simm)

Summary:

He pulls away but he’s followed, pursued, and it’s not the slide of the Master’s thighs around his kneel that scares him, or the brand of ownership passing through skin. He didn’t earn this and he’s terrified of being given, even as he’s taken from. “Would you let me teach you?” sounds like a boulder tipping over the rim of a well, pulls him down with the sentiment. “You’re so lost, dear heart, would you ever let me find you?”

A pomegranate as life, endearments as a curse—the Doctor is falling, falling, and he'll pull the universe down with him. He doesn't know who he is but he knows what the Master wants him to be.

(the big thing happening (probably only to me) is that this is now a series!)

[theprodigalpragmatist]

The vacuum of space is frigid. It’s caustic, a pressure against his lungs that feels more comforting than it should. It matches the constriction of every breath he’s heaved out since he lost them all, since he lost himself. Artron glows at his fingertips. He’s been fighting this, too. He doesn’t want to go, but he doesn’t want to stay.

The Doctor has said his goodbyes. His foot swings in the vastness of space beyond TARDIS doors, and he steps out.
