begin again (you say we can still be friends), by spock

He’s sharing his best friend with a guy who doesn’t even know it.

Teen, Josh POV. I love this movie, and this fic does a good job at filling in the blanks and making (mostly) sense of what was only implied in this strange and lovely fairy tale…

Louder Than a Whisper, by zarabithia

The questioning eventually comes to Bucky. “Captain America,” a sharply dressed male reporter says, “what are your thoughts on repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?“

Steve feels a sharp twist in his gut, one that matches the nagging impulse that hasn’t left the back of his mind in the months since he made the decision to not come out.

Mature, comic!verse. I love comic!Steve & Bucky, and this Steve is so great – both during the war with Bucky and after his defrosting, forming new relationships and dealing with his sexuality in a world that hasn’t come quite as far as many would like to think.

ETA: Sadly the fic has been deleted.

Most of him was covered in black robes, just like Luke round about the time of Endor. Leia had laughed at Luke for it. She’d laugh at Ben now, if there was any room for laughter between them. She hadn’t had anyone to laugh with in such a long time. 

Teen, post-TFA. I’m not a Kylo/Ben fangirl, but oh, this fic… Leia’s POV here is simply amazing, and I lovedlovedLOVED all the different relationships forming after Ben gets captured by Luke and Rey.

I’m enjoying Westworld so far, and the romantic in me is very much rooting for the star-crossed lovers robots Dolores and Teddy. This vid captures both the beauty and the heartbreak of their story. Music by Raign.

Harkness Anthropology 101: An Abridged Guide to Human Sexual Evolution

Sex looks a lot like your life these days. You can have something for an hour, a night, maybe a year or two, and then it’s gone.  Even if you believed in it, it would be stupid to think that staking claims means all that much.

Teen, Jack/various. Great Jack character study in early series 1, with just the right dash of Ianto. 🙂

This one’s short (and doesn’t have any Steve in it, which is unusual *g*), but it doesn’t pull any punches – and I simply love how the noises Bucky makes (completely wordless, because that was taken from him, too) fit into the soundscape. Music: Data Romance – Night Section.

A tribute to all the attractively falling (and just attractive) men of the MCU… Love it! Music by The Weather Girls.

Laura knows that expression simply because she herself wears it so often. 

Falling for Clint Barton has its own particular facial expression – fond and exasperated and slightly sappy all at once. Though to be fair, on Natasha it’s more exasperated than sappy.

Teen, polyamory (not a threesome). Because if I was Laura, I’d enjoy imagining Clint and Natasha having sex, too. *g* This is how I can live with the weird farm family thing.
