now that your rose is in bloom, by stepquietly

“I am so happy,” she says, low and firm and for his ears only. “You have made me so happy.” She watches the startled joy flare in his eyes with something growing so huge in her chest that she cannot express it any more than she could fly. 

“Margaret.” He all but chokes on her name, his hand flying up to cover hers on his cheek. It takes him entire minutes to recall himself.

Mature, post-canon. Praise kink. This is warm and gorgeous and sexy, a look at the Thorntons in their new marriage. *happy sigh*

They’re so different together. Ana’s used to seeing Bruno being the center of some woman’s world. She’s not used to seeing the other side of things. From the first time she saw them together, it was like Pablo was the single bright thing in the room to Bruno–like he was the single heat source in a blizzard. Bruno stared at him, was wrapped around him, toying with him like a twelve-year-old. Actually, he still stares at Pablo like he built the world and handed it to Bruno on a platter.

Mature, post-canon, warning for a couple of slurs. This is Bruno and his relationship with Pablo through Ana’s eyes, and it’s utter perfection!

As We Forgive Those, by coricomile

They’d done the Rosary before bed since they could memorize the prayers, shoulders and hips pressed together as they kneeled. It was solid. Grounding. Theirs.

Adult, incest, religion. This is how I like my MacManus twins – so tangled up in each other, in their holy quest, that it’s impossible to separate one from the other. Perfect!

Snow White is really The Bigger Badder Wolf and Bigby is Okay With That, by Dandybear

“I want you,” Her breath catches and she watches him taste it, “as my Sheriff.”

Adult, pregnancy sex. A glimpse at Snow and Bigby during her pregnancy as well as into their first meeting(s).

As always with this vidder, this exploration of Clara & Twelve’s time together is simply gorgeously edited. A fitting tribute to a Companion that might not always have been consistently written but who definitely defined who the Doctor is now. Music: Home, by Dotan & Circadian, by Falling Up.

Aww, River’s final speech in Forest of the Dead with beautiful flashbacks (forwards?) to the Christmas special – made my go all teary-eyed…

Jumping Off Bridges, by lotrabc

“You—you ever wonder what it’d be like if one of us was a dame?”

Adult, pre-serum, period-typical homophobia. Bucky has been getting himself into trouble and Steve has to look after him. This is lovely, especially because not everything goes smoothly. Except for the sex, that’s very smooth indeed. 🙂

one more notch, by beardsley

‘You’re not invulnerable,’ Steve says again, voice a low growl. Bucky’s stomach flips. Steve gives back as good as he gets, glaring down at Bucky, his pupils a little too wide, too bright.

Adult, a bit D/s. Angry post-mission sex, hot damn!

ETA: Sadly the fic has been deleted.

Breaking the Ice, by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

It always hurt like this when he came out of the ice. Freezing to death was peaceful at the end, but waking up was fire and pain and this horrible helpless shaking every time. This was the first time he’d had someone to hold on to, though.

Adult, post-WS. Bucky gets lost in the ice, but this time, Steve finds him. This warmed me up right along with Bucky… 🙂

Obviously I’m not the only one who has some serious FEELS about the Civil War trailer, and this vid encapsulates them wonderfully. Plus, awesome song choice by Nico Vega.
