Nightingale, by Saucery

Marcus – didn’t step back. His courage, really, ought to have been lauded; as it was, it was a mere unremarked-on necessity. His contract specified that he not engage in communication with the client, but it also stipulated that were a response commanded, he would, if the environment were secure enough, be compelled to obey.

Esca knew that, of course. The brat knew everything. “Come here, Marcus.”

Mature, AU. Esca is a dancer, Marcus his bodyguard. It goes about as well as expected. Intense!

ETA: Sadly the fic has been deleted.

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.

You want some bourbon/I want some oranges, by jouissant

Don’t worry it, he meant to say, but he didn’t have the chance. The move was ill-timed, and their fingers brushed. Their hands caught in midair and dropped to the earth together. The expression on Nix’s face reminded Dick of earlier, in the road.

Adult, Winters’ POV. 18′000+ words of feels about Winters and Nix, all of them perfect in their hesitant unavoidability.

In The Space Between Them, by Fee

Ariadne repeats, “Arthur and Eames – they’re a bit childish, don’t you think. This isn’t preschool. Eames flirts by kicking over Arthur’s chairs for heavens sake.”

“Flirts?” Cobb asks, surprised. 

Teen, post-movie. Ariadne is having problems figuring out what Arthur and Eames are to each other… I love outside POV, and this is just lovely.

The Merciless Hours, by togina

“I heard you’re the best shot on base,” Rogers said, staring out over the camp and toward the horizon. “Maybe the best shot in the Army.” 

His head swung around in surprise when Bucky’s response came out in a bitter laugh and a puff of smoke. “You been asking around, private, I can guarantee that ain’t all you heard.” He arched an eyebrow, letting his gaze drift down the broad contours of a chest visible below the cotton of the private’s shirt. “You interested?”

Teen, a bit underage, comic!verse. Bucky’s never been the kid sidekick. This is intense, and I’m utterly in love with Bucky & Steve’s relationship here.

Iconic, by Te and Jack

Bruce is there above him, showing nothing but pure Batman
face. Silent, and silent, and still managing to tell him that this
is a case closed a decade ago.

But he’s not going to let it go. He’s not fifteen anymore,
going home alone to pine and yearn and jerk off until he can
sleep is no longer age-appropriate.

Adult, angsty DC comics smut. Nightwing finds himself in a familiar position with Batman… only this time, it’ll end differently. This isn’t fluffy or sweet, but it’s full of emotion and hot, acrobatic sex. 🙂
