of the start and the end, by waldorph

She remembered dying: being cradled in William’s arms while Eric had tried to find something, anything that would save her. She wondered if together they would manage the thing.

Teen, post-movie. I find the movie only so-so, but I like the way it handles its (apparently obligatory) love triangle, i.e. in a way that makes it easy for me to imagine an OT3. This story is pretty much my headcanon now.

The Fifties, by Speranza

“We’re alive! We’re all alive!” Peggy sobbed. “We’re all going to live,” Peggy sobbed, and suddenly it was all Bucky could do not to break into tears himself, because—because— He was knocked back by a great wall of Steve, and he was going to pull away, give them a minute to hug and kiss while he pulled himself together, except Steve’s arms were coming around them both, he was holding them both together.

Adult, AU. This is amazing – the best “what if Bucky hadn’t fallen” fic I’ve read. Also, I so did not see that plot twist coming. 🙂

Sex Scenes Your New Boyfriend’s Too Vanilla To Read About, by jedusaur

Ryan never knows when he’s going to hear it, whether Spencer is going to give someone the word right away or wait almost the full week before handing it out. He doesn’t know how many people will get it, or who they’ll be, or where they’ll use it.

All Ryan knows is that when someone says the word, he drops to his knees and obeys.

Adult, RPF, so many pairings. I’m not hugely into kink, but I just love the relationship dynamics at play here, especially between Ryan and Spencer, who doms Ryan because his best friend needs it.

GET IT KIDS, by apfelgranate

Raleigh is loud as fuck during sex. Mako probably isn’t, but maybe Chuck just can’t hear her over Raleigh’s caterwauling. And Chuck… is not as unaffected by that as he wants to be.

Adult, canon divergence, Raleigh/Mako/Chuck. Chuck lives – right next to Raleigh and Mako. And those two enjoy pegging. It goes about as expected. 🙂 I love Raleigh and Mako as platonic friends, but this is hot as hell.

He turns away.

Helo doesn’t, and Lee watches Helo watching Kara.

Kara laughs, and Lee glances back at Kara. Kara’s watching Helo; laughing with Helo.

This is not new.

Teen, Helo/Kara/Lee. Not very explicit for a shower sex!fic, but absolutely enthralling for everything that’s between the lines. Also, outsider POV, which is my catnip.

ETA: Sadly the link is dead.

Devils and Heathens, by copperbadge

It took her a second to understand what she was seeing, to draw the right conclusion from it, and then she felt both angry and ashamed. Small wonder he didn’t like her.

She was the competition.

Adult, polyamory. Peggy realises some things – and because she’s Peggy, she then does something about it. Totally in character, this could easily be outtakes. Even the modern-day epilogue warmed my heart.

The Courage of Our Hearts, by Poetry

It’s like a dance. She already knows all the steps. Step one, into personal space. Step two, shimmy. Step three, shirt off. Step four, pants. But where she leads, Lito doesn’t follow. It throws off her rhythm. 

So it’s a relief when Daniela sees the man in Lito’s bed, and realizes she’s been stepping to the wrong music this whole time. There won’t be hands in her clothes, trying to stir up feelings that have never been about other people. There won’t be declarations of love she’ll never be able to return in the same way. 

She’s always liked dancing by herself better anyway.

Adult, polyamory, asexuality. This is everything I could have wished for and more – not only do we get to see how Daniela fits with Lito & Hernando (and it’s beautiful!), we even see how Dani & Hernando learn about the cluster. Seriously wonderful!

The Sun Will Rise, by perclexed

As the author describes it:

We hang a sharp left to Angstville right after the climactic events at the hospital in the episode Falling Darkness.

A little farther down that road is the mecca of Pornville, population 3.

Adult, hurt/comfort, polyamory. Hits all the emotional notes as well as having smoking hot sexing in the second part. *fans self*

Cold Shower, by callay

Will’s trying to get his bearings, pulse racing. “Were you just – “ he starts, and then he knows the answer.

Because suddenly he’s with Lito, in his expansive, steam-clouded shower. And Lito’s with Hernando.

Adult, pwp. I love fic in which Will gets to experience gay sex, courtesy of his clustermates – and here it’s shower sex, with Lito & Hernando… Yum!
