He doesn’t say anything, but he looks hurt and then he looks mad and then he’s leaning toward her and kissing her and his long fingers are in her hair, curling around her neck. She can’t be startled too long because his mouth is almost hot and his tongue is silk, and all she can read from him is his answer: This. It’s this.
Adult. Short and to the point, I can totally see this happen. Alex & Bobby are hard to get right, but this definitely manages.
He just wants to let it all spill out and see what she says. Kathy thinks I’m in love with you and she wants a divorce and I’m so confused and what do you think?
Adult, AU. Long “what if Elliot hat gotten a divorce” fic in which nothing is easy and everything is perfect, right down to the cases they’re working.
There aren’t enough Dominion vids as is, and even less for the amazingness that is Noma and her love for Alex. This one uses a slower song than I’d normally like, but it’s just beautiful and made my heart clench… Music by Kathryn Dean.
“Five minutes,” he says, and his voice is angry, tight. “That’s all I want. Five minutes where I don’t have to think about what’s best for everyone else and I can just figure out what the hell is best for me. Why can’t we have five fucking minutes away from the world when we can be real, and I don’t have to worry about my kids being taken away or endangering our jobs or ruining our partnership? Just five goddamn minutes with no consequences!”
Teen, angst. Olivia and Elliot are trapped in a car in a snowstorm. They have to share body heat (of course they do). Boundaries blur. Not a happy Christmas fic, but this just strikes a chord.
“Don’t you fucking give up,” he snarls, and she can see his furious face in the lightning. He shakes her, as much as he’s able to in the weight of the ocean.
I’m not doing that, she thinks. Am I?
Adult, angst, adultery. Olivia and Elliot have to swim for their lives, and somewhere in between the cold and the ocean and the fear the barriers they’ve so carefully built fall.
He was stubborn and arrogant and had no idea how kind he really was, and Clarke loved him so much she thought she might die of it.
In another universe, she did. Bellamy stayed dead when he fell and Clarke stayed dead when she crashed, and the world went on without them and they became nothing more than an old story, two war heroes with a romantic story and some old newsreels and comic strips.
Some days, she thinks she’d rather be in that one anyway. At least then, she’d know how it ended.
Teen, Steve/Bucky!AU. Locked for AO3 users. This is probably my favourite of all the MCU AUs I’ve read – it all fits brilliantly, all the ways that are the same and all the ways that are different.
ETA: Sadly fic has been deleted.
“Do you think he wants to ride her?” Capable had no gentler word in her vocabulary for it than “ride.” All the other words were much worse. “He’s taking his time about it, if he does.“
Cheedo nodded. “You think he’d try it while she’s still weak.”
“I bet he’d ask her first.” But Dag’s voice sounded doubtful.
Adult, post-MM:FR, voyeurism. Honestly, I’m glad the movie didn’t push a romantic angle, but that’s what fic is for, right? And I have a thing for outside POVs, and this one’s lovely, as the Wives see what sex can be for the first time.
ETA: Sadly the fic seems to have been unpublished.
She doesn’t realize the War Boys have stopped calling him “Blood Bag” and started calling him “First Husband,” not until she overhears one of them ask Capable where First Husband is.
Adult, post-MM:FR, polyamory (but ultimately not). This is somewhat OOC, but I liked it anyway – funny and sweet (also, sexy).
He stands and he waits and he feels a numbness wash over him, and he’s grateful. Ross glances at him and nods and then he and one of the Marshals walk out and close the door behind them.
Eames looks at him, and he feels the breath tremble a bit in his lungs.
“I’m sorry, Bobby,” she says, quietly, and her eyes are pain.
He doesn’t know what to say. He doesn’t trust himself to open his mouth. Hey, Eames. Don’t leave me.
Adult, AU. This is by far the best Goren/Eames I’ve read – it’s just so utterly in character, despite taking them out of their normal surroundings, with Alex being put in witness protection and Bobby coping about as well as expected. Their voices are spot-on – and the sex is awesome. 🙂
There’s a lot of not-so-great E/O stuff out there, but this vid is heartbreaking – bittersweet, because it showcases their chemistry so beautifully while also making everything clear that stands between them (in a romantic sense).
