Wilderness Were Paradise Enow, by belmanoir

“I wouldn’t have said any of it if I’d thought there was a grain of truth in it. I like you the way you are, you must know that. I need you the way you are.“ Jim chuckled mirthlessly. “It doesn’t sound as pretty coming from me as it did from Miss Kalomi, does it? But I need you.”

Adult, post-This Side of Paradise. Kirk wants to know if Spock is really unhappy – and finds he himself has some explaining to do. Perfectly in-character revelations and sexing ensues. Especially love how Vulcan Spock remains through it all!

Dick takes his responsibilities as Battalion XO seriously, albeit with great reluctance; but even if he wanted to join his men in their foxholes, he couldn’t. He’s too valuable to be allowed to sleep on the front line. Fortunately, Nixon doesn’t give a rat’s ass for decorum. No one should sleep alone in this kind of cold.

Teen, Bastogne fic. This might just be my favourite foxhole fic ever.

Finding Home, by Destina

He wants the familiarity of cheap whiskey, the burn of it, the taste of home in every foreign town. He wants to be watched by knowing eyes, to be wanted.

He wants too many things he can’t have, God help him.

Mature, post-series. Nix is having trouble adjusting. This is perfection, an amazing Nix POV and a great look at post-War life.

One Unknowable Thing, by Destina

Dick had pressed his fingertips against Nix’s throat and held them there until some warmth bled from his fingertips back into Nix’s frozen skin. His pulse beat steadily against Dick’s hand, an echo caught and tapped back.

M, angsty Nix POV. This just about breaks my heart. Bittersweet, with all the sweet courtesy of Dick Winters, of course.

Brand You with an Inked Stamp, by Shoshanna Gold

“All right. So let’s assume that one’s secretary is both attractive and willing. Would her boss just throw her over his desk, unbutton, and have his wanton way with her?“ 

 Nix choked on his brandy. "God, Dick. Don’t do that!" 

"Don’t throw you over my desk, or don’t talk about it?”

Mature, established relationship. Nix helps Dick break in his new office the right way. This is delicious!

This… should not work, except that it does. A 100% angst-free, smile-inducing look at Winters & Nixon and their epic love. 🙂 Song performed by Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried.

Sway through the crowd to an empty space, by lanyon

(They slept and not even together. They slept and read and Cap sketched and Barnes practised tai chi. Stark is disgusted.)

G, canon divergence. 5 tropes that didn’t make them get together, and 1 that did. Made me smile like a loon. Mutual respect.

Right in the feels, this one’s a beautiful angst fest. Awesome use of non-source material. Music by Message To Bears.
