roll the dice on my thighs, by Honeyedwine – Masters of the Air (TV 2024) [Archive of Our Own]

Sometimes Curt wonders if John knows how lost he looks without Gale at his side, like Curt doesn’t notice the glances he throws behind him hoping to catch one last glimpse of Gale’s silhouette before the darkness swallows him up. John turns back smiling down at Curt, before taking in another puff of his Lucky Strike, politely blowing smoke from the corner of his mouth away from Curt like the gentleman he isn’t. Curt burrows deeper into the warmth of John’s body and wonders where he factors into the two Bucks saga of epic love. Named and claimed on day one, inseparable as two halves of the same thing.

He’s been clinging to the fringes of that love, lapping up the runoff of that unspoken passion happily. Lately it’s been feeling like maybe it’s not enough but he takes what he can get without complaint.

Adult, kind of poly. Love Curt in this – irresistibly drawn to the intense relationship the two Bucks share, he figures he’s happy to give Bucky the sexual release he needs while pining for his best friend.

“What do you need from me?”

She gave him a gentle, relieved smile. “The last thing I want is to put you in an awkward position. If there’s someone else?”

“There’s not.” The words spilled out of his mouth too quickly. He ought to have held back and pretended to consider, but he didn’t want to lie to her. The closest thing he had to someone else was the same man Leia spent the rest of her time arguing with, but if Han was tight-lipped about how he might feel about Leia, he was as silent as cold space about reciprocating anything Luke felt. Han was about actions: swooping in to save Luke’s butt, or embracing him like the missing part of his soul. His words were all sarcasm and distance, never opening himself up in case he got hurt, and Luke had learned to live with that.

Leia’s eyes took him in for a long moment. He wondered if Leia saw the words he didn’t say. Then she nodded, to him or to herself.

Adult, canon-divergence. Leia and Luke get engaged for morale purposes. Lovely Luke POV.

What Han wanted to do now was grab him by the shoulders and shake him. What he needed to do was break through Luke’s hard-earned Jedi calm and demand what he actually thought, what he really felt. As much as Luke had loved Leia, her choice had become crystal clear by circumstances set into play before they were born. As much as Han and Leia both loved Luke, the wall was built between him and them forever. What Han ached to do was pull him close and kiss him and act like none of this mattered as much as what he felt for Luke and what Leia felt for him just as fervently, like they could work past anything including the accident of the twins’ birth

Adult. After finding out that their twins, Luke pulls away. Han doesn’t like it one bit. This is the perfect post-trilogy OT3 fic.

Wei Wuxian wants to laugh, but the doors reverberate with the loudest impact yet, and he knows that Lan Zhan has arrived.

“Wei Ying!”

The marks painted on the door are starting to show cracks, but it’s too late. The array on the floor is complete.

Wei Wuxian stands in the centre, closes his eyes, and blows a few simple notes on Chenqing.

The power comes up through his feet.

It feels like dying.

It feels like happiness.

It feels like it’s working.

Okay, so this. This series has eaten my brain for the last week – it’s about 4 different epic canon divergences, all supposing that Wei Ying decided to send his consciousness back in time to fix things. Each one is focused on a different “time traveller”, and the results are very different yet somehow always plausible.

Oh, and there’s about 45 shorter fics as well, including the whole bunch of utterly delightful “future nonsense” about the adventures of the six Immortals of Yunmeng in modern times. AND there’s plenty of ace rep, which pleases me muchly. Just… the whole things is utterly brilliant! (I’m tagging the WangXian alone because that’s pretty much the only ship that always sails.)

A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement – Chapter 1, by Brenda – Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

“This will go ever so much easier on both of us if you treated me like I had eyes in my head and a brain,” she said, interrupting him without regret. She wanted, more than anything, to wipe that fearful look off of his face. “I promise, I’m not trying to trap you or to blue-card you. In fact, I’d like us to come to some sort of arrangement where Steve is concerned.”

This is a love triangle after my own heart… After all, in a real triangle, all points are connected. 😉

Let Toretto Be Toretto, by astolat – Fast and the Furious Series [Archive of Our Own] | https://archiveofourown.org/

It was a joke between him and Letty when Brian first got assigned to the campaign: they’d met the Secret Service team together and it had been all Dom could do not to look over at her as Han said, “Governor, this is Agent Brian O’Conner, he’ll be the head of your personal detail.”

“Well, now you really have to win,” Letty said that night, laughing deep and throaty after Dom fucked her twice even though they’d been through three cities that day. “Shit, Toretto. Do you think somebody knows?”

“If they know and this is their idea of what to do about it, I’m not complaining,” Dom said. He didn’t tell Letty she didn’t have anything to worry about, because she knew that just fine. “Jesus, he’s pretty.”

A fantastic bodyguard AU. Established Dom/Letty.

“So what the fuck even was that last night,” Letty said to Mia, the next morning, after the guys went off to the garage. “Do they do this—”

“All the time,” Mia said.

“While you’re there?” Letty said.

“Well, I think they like it better if I’m there,” Mia said. “Otherwise it might seem gay.”

In which Letty is not about to let Brian and Dom get away with shit, no matter how obtuse they’re being. (Established Dom/Letty and Brian/Mia.) This is A+ crack. 😉

The minivan was spotless, freshly waxed, and had a new carpet down in the back before they took it back home, but Mia was mad anyway: after dinner she was banging the plates around in the sink with an expression like an angry tornado, and when Dom tried to slink past her to get the empties into the recycling bin, she whirled on him. “Is it really asking too much for you to quit having sex with my husband?” she said, and shit, he wasn’t going to forgive Ramsey ever.

“Mia,” he groaned. “Do we seriously have to talk about this?”

“Yes!”

“Jesus Christ,” Dom said. “Yeah, apparently it is asking too much; you think I want to be doing this?”

Dom discovers a (not so little) something about Brian – and about himself… This is hilarious and hot.

Coming Together in Permutations of Four, by Friendie30 – Tortall – Tamora Pierce [Archive of Our Own] | https://archiveofourown.org/

Jon’s not too sure when his wedding night turned into a morning where Thayet presses herself against Alanna’s bare back, sighing in contentment and falling asleep once more, but. Well. It’s rather difficult to be angry when faced with the sight of the only two women he has ever fallen in love with cuddling on his bed.

“Well, our girls are obviously the smart ones, getting some sleep while we men hover in the doorway. What do you say we follow their example?” George’s suggestion seems sound enough, so Jon steps back from the doorway and lies back down on the bed. George strips.

A wonderful exploration of the complex and intertwined relationships between these four, everything I didn’t know I wanted.
