Sharing the Shiny – Shirasade's recs collection

Welcome!

This is Shirasade‘s fic and vid recs collection, starting 2015. (Unfortunately my recs from 2005 onwards were hosted on Delicious and went bust with the site, although I was able to import an old bookmarks list from 2010 into Tagpacker, and I’m currently in the process of adding the bookmarks from this site there as well.) Because I moved from Delicous to Tumblr and now WordPress, the older posts don’t look quite so pretty.

wanna try out some freaky positions… (have you ever tried this one?), by Magnus17 – Superman (Movie 2025) [Archive of Our Own]

Extreme heat. Unshakable desires that last hours. Shakiness to every part of your body. Night terrors if you go to sleep with the pollen still on you. Sweatiness and breathing problems.

Clark is sure Lois has every possible side effect, and he knows it. The scent was a sharp-sweet tang of alien pollen, one using an actual periodic table element and the other had to be a different terrestrial pollen because what other element could cause this reaction? He knew a few people affected by this from travelling to other cosmic planets with Kara… but that was superhumans like him… but this was Lois. His Lois. And he knew she wasn’t built for this kind of hunger that this pollen caused.

Adult, DCU. This sex pollen fic is basically pure filth, but I really enjoy Clark taking care of Lois in whatever form she needs him to.

Do you want the house tour? (and I promise none of this is a metaphor), by phlebotinxm – Superman – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

His fists clench even harder by his sides. Lois is not sure she’s ever seen him look so lost, completely out of place in his torn Superman suit.

“And I owe Michael a big box of chocolates, too. Because this was humiliating enough as it was for me, let alone for him to have to tell me that I’d have to…”

“Fuck or die?” Lois supplies, finally finding her voice.

“Yeah. I guess.”

The decision comes easy. There is no way Lois is risking Clark’s life because he’s too afraid of his own strength.

Adult, DCU. This has got to be the most romantic sex pollen fic ever, with Clark being so <em>himself</em> despite everything – hot, too, of course.

First Forays, by queenofswords19 – Veronica Mars (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“Feel good?”

“Uh huh,” she’d said again, blinking down at him with desire-clouded eyes.

He’d swallowed and leaned his forehead against hers. “Want to keep going?” He’d whispered. He had stayed still and quiet, knowing she needed space to consider his invitation. He’d watched as her face flicked through an almost astonishing number of emotions: curiousity, uncertainty, anxiety, excitement and then – and Duncan had sucked in a breath as he saw it settle on her face – desire.

Adult, pre-canon. A lovely, sexy peek at Duncan and Veronica before things fell apart.

one grave too many, by leafings – Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

His person does not factor into Jim’s decision-making because he’d do anything, everything, for the crew.

Is Jim aware that they do the same for him?

If Spock moves quicker and tolerates less, it is biological, not insubordination, not murder. It is one less demon for Jim to fight, one less thing to keep him awake at night, with Spock listening to the other man breathing in the next room. When he meets the man’s eyes over someone’s body, he is not ashamed that, deep down, there is relief.

After all, death doesn’t trouble Spock’s rest.

When he’s sonicing his skin of bodily fluids, he knows the crew is grateful it is not Jim’s.

Mature, dark-ish canon AU. Such a fascinating look at an Enterprise crew that’s more than a shade too codependent, too ruthlessly violent when it comes to protecting each other – and most of all, their Captain. Because they all know he’d do the same for them, and Spock knows it most of all.

participation is required (doing things not typically allowed) – Chapter 1, by mr_charles – The Suicide Squad (2021) [Archive of Our Own]

Rick doesn’t ask. Doesn’t offer. He makes his way to the bathroom, washing his hands and scrubbing old lipstick off his face.

He wants to stay. He wants to strip to his underwear and climb in bed with her. He wants to cuddle her, hold her against his chest and let her sleep in his arms all night.

But that’s not what Harley wants.

Adult, The Suicide Squad canon-divergence (everybody lives). I just adore this in all its hotness, the ultimate service top Rick… Official summary: Rick loves taking care of his team.

Hysteria – Chapter 1, by Jacqualine14 – Anne with an E (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“Gilbert, I want you to treat the patient in room three for hysteria.” Dr. Ward

“Hysteria, sir?” Gilbert couldn’t believe it. He was well learned in it of course, but he wasn’t sure he agreed it was a real thing. He had read all the medical journals on the topic, required reading of course, but there was enough dissenting opinions of the subject, that he had his doubts.

“Yes a young lady suffering from melancholia. You are well versed in the technique?”

“In theory sir.” Gilbert admitted, he had never actually performed the procedure.

“It’s a simple thing, use the clear oil in the room, start out slow and then speed up. You will know by the patients reaction to the procedure, when to finish.” Dr. Ward instructed, patting Gilbert’s shoulder as he left to see his next patient. Gilbert took a look at the patient’s chart and walked to room three, knocked on the door, to make sure she was ready for him and waited for her “Come in.”

Adult, canon-divergence. This is delicious, delicious smut after a worried Diana takes a downtrodden Anne to Dr. Ward, who prescribes orgasms to cure her “hysteria.” Enter Dr. Gilbert Blythe, who never returned from Alberta – but is of course immediately intrigued by the lovely redhead. Unprofessional behaviour ensues all around… 😉

Homomorphisms – Chapter 1, by RookSacrifice – Star Trek [Archive of Our Own]

“Well I do. Like what I see, I mean. You’re…” Jim tries to find the right word and suddenly understands what his xenolinguistics professor meant when she complained about how limiting it is to speak in Standard. The Vulcan has an air of familiarity about him, like walking into the kitchen back at the farm house in Iowa after a long tour in the Aldeberan system, but the house in Iowa never felt much like home. This is— “Magnetic.”

“Vulcan blood is hemocyanic. I am merely exhibiting paramagnetism in the presence of your own flux,” The Vulcan says, no affect. Jim feels the corner of his lips quirking up despite himself. He’s never met a Vulcan who knew how to flirt before.

Adult, BDSM, ace!Spock. Set early in Strange New Worlds, Kirk and Spock run into each other in a BDSM club during shore leave, not knowing they’ll be working the next mission together… Pain play isn’t normally my thing, but this fic is really something special. Their scene is done while melded and feels incredibly sensual and intimate – but I love the aftermath even more, when they have to deal with their surprisingly deep connection. Love, love, love their undeniable attraction as well as their discussions about chess and philosophy!

she stretched out on a long white table, by ElasticElla – The Vampire Diaries (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“You shouldn’t be here.”

Elena lets out a breath, he’s alone. It’s beyond lucky, and she can’t stand for relief, leaning against the closet wall. Out of the corner of her eye is his writing, and it’s all too easy to imagine her name at the bottom of the list in shaky cursive.

“I know.”

Teen, canon divergence from 3×03. Stefan goes back to his apartment without Klaus. A short but intriguing what-if.

Coming Home, by DesertFlower303 – The Vampire Diaries (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

As a human she’d known all this. It’s what had given her the strength to hold onto him no matter what. Stefan was hers completely and she was his. As a vampire it is intoxicating in ways she’s never thought possible.

Adult, 4×02. I have no idea what happened in this ep, but it definitely should have been this! 😉

suddenly the world looks back, by summerstorm – Vampire Diaries (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

It’s hard keeping your relationship a secret when your boyfriend lives with someone who can hear every little thing you do from every corner of the house.

Adult. So yes, I’ve fallen into another rabbit hole about a ship from a show I never watched and don’t plan to (blame the Youtube algorithm). But c’mon, Stefan and Elena were great together! Sadly a lot of the fanfic is not the best, but this one’s yummy and full of tension.
