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.

peacetime like a liminal space, by mercess

With a yawn, he unlocks it and pulls it open, and that yawn becomes a squeak, which becomes a cough, which becomes “Buck?” He squeezes his eyes shut, rubs them with his knuckles, and pries them back open.

Gale is still there in the soft light of the hallway, the leather of his A-3 jacket gleaming and crusher cap angled just-so, toothpick a taunt and temptation both in the corner of his mouth. He’s smirking and, if John didn’t know better, blushing as he gives John a quick once-over. John looks down at himself. Lipstick is still smeared on his nipples. Clearing his throat, he tugs the robe tighter shut, shielding his chest from Gale’s sight.

Blue eyes flick up to his, amusement crystal clear. John feels faint. Perhaps this is how a Victorian felt upon seeing an ankle.

“Hey, Major,” Gale says, his familiar drawl like fingernails over John’s skin, scattering goosebumps. John wants to shiver. He abstains. “You’re a hard man to find.”

Adult, post-canon. I read this a while back but somehow don’t think I recced it? Anyways, this is a wonderful POV for a Bucky who’s been trying (in vain, obviously) to fuck Gale out of his system with random women in New York. Except Buck finds him and shows him that just maybe, he doesn’t have to get over him at all.

Shinya, by ikudou

Shinya Suzuki ought to be afraid of him. He is anything but.

He resists and he fights and he dares to talk back, and Shinya — he snaps. Everything that is dark and slimy inside of him rips open, and the devil emerges, eager to pull Suzuki down into the deepest pit.

Instead, it feels like he can breathe for the first time in his life.

Shinya Suzuki is obeying.

Adult, D/s. These two fics offer an amazing glimpse into Sugiki Shinya’s mind, both before and after their ’10 dance’ at the end of the movie. I especially love how Sugiki”s desire for dominance informs almost every aspect of his life, and how he finds his perfect match in Suzuki’s voluntary submission.

Play Hard, by Hartzy – Game Changers Series – Rachel Reid [Archive of Our Own]

Ilya had been in a lot of fights. He’d racked up penalties and put his fist where his mouth often was. But the way he’d lost control was terrifying. It was like he’d stepped out of himself and become…

Ilya paled, and pushed the thought away.

He had started the day in the wrong mindset—thinking Shane needed protection, assuming Ilya knew better than his coach, letting the Montreal players dig under his skin in a way he hardly let anyone do. It all snowballed from there. 

Now his team was out there, trying to clean up Ilya’s mess.

Adult, post-canon. This is an amazing Ilya POV – not only seeing how much he loves Shane, how he fights for him, but also how much Shane does the same for him when his mind goes to dark places. Absolutely exquisite, this made me melt so many times.

Rock me, Roll me, Take Control of Me, by BirdBoneGirl

“Let’s get you to bed.” Straightening from his kneeling position, Adam, still fully clothed, his erection now obvious in his trousers, stepped away from him.

As soon as he wasn’t touching him, sense returned. What was he doing? Why was he cheating on Tessa? “Adam, what are we doing?” He asked, trying to locate his conscience who seemed to have taken a vacation.

Adam paused, as if he too only now could start thinking, he placed a hand on Duncan’s chest.

Adult, AU in which Methos is in the music business and Richie takes Duncan to the concert of local celebrity Byron (yes, that one). Outside the venue Duncan and Methos experience a double quickening that has some… interesting and intense side-effects. Dubcon due to compulsion, but their involuntary obsession with each other is oh so delicous!

Baby’s First Fight (How’s That For Boring), by SageGreenSadness – Heated Rivalry (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“You were defending my honour, Hollander?”

There’s warmth laced in the words, and Shane can’t help but laugh ever so slightly, but he catches something serious in Ilya’s expression.

“Can I tell you something?”

Shane nods, hoping he’s finally going to get some sort of explanation for Ilya’s bizarre behaviour. For a second, he worries that he might be mad, although it would be ironic for Ilya to lecture anyone on reckless behaviour since he’s been its number one proponent since birth.

“It was so hot.”

Adult, post-canon, soft D/s. Shane go feral defending Ilya leads to a delicious, delicious switch in their power dynamics… Love this!

to have & to holler, by badmetaphors

Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Because it was. Finally.

All, post-canon. Ilya can’t shut about how amazing his husband is. Shane feels the same. These two are just so gone for each other, and it’s adorable and heart-warming.
