Awakenings, by thedevilchicken

Steve wakes to a world terrorised by kaiju and steps up to pilot a jaeger. Natasha assists. Bucky wakes as the Winter Soldier and struggles to find a new identity. Steve is entirely unhelpful. And while Steve comes to terms, someone else saves the world.

Mature, AU. I’m a total sucker for Pacific Rim/MCU crossovers – this is unique in that it actually merges the two worlds, and does a very good job, too. This allows the story to focus on Steve learning how to deal with this new Bucky, who is both his old friend and someone very much different.

I was in the mood for something upbeat, and this short vid celebrates the twinkle in Obi-Wan’s gorgeous eyes and put a big smile on my face. Music by Adam Lambert.

The Moonflower Festival, by Emma Grant

“Master, why did you request this… mission? Did you know in advance that our mission to Hildass would be so difficult?“ 

Qui-Gon smiled warmly. "Padawan, surely it cannot have escaped your attention that the third day of the Moonflower festival falls on your birthday.”

Adult, multiple partners, sex pollen. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan discover the joys of the Moonflower – with different partners, but somehow it always comes back to them…

Seven, by girlintheYhat

Even though he’s uncomfortable and it’ll be too hot and then too cold, and he’s bound to have scratched and clawed at his skin by the morning, somehow there’s always comfort when she’s there.

Teen. Seven times Cal and Gillian spend the night together, this is a lovely progression that rings utterly true.

When The Bough Breaks, by topaz_eyes

Gillian pulls his hand into her lap and strokes the back of it, studying the network of old scars crisscrossing his knuckles as she continues her reverie. She knows just how unfair it is to use Cal like this.

Adult, angst. I love Gillian’s voice here, even if her relationship with Cal here isn’t exactly as I see it. And the sex is the best kind – hot and full of emotion.

Hi all, posting again – my Callian fanvid 🙂  Enjoy!

(tim roth, kelli williams – lie to me)

One of my very favourite relationships on any tv show, ever, and this vid captures beautifully what Gillian means to Cal. Music: Like a Prayer, by Madonna.

This is what the prequels desperately needed: more snappiness, a groovy soundtrack – and less Jar Jar.

Winter’s Children, by Neery

They looked similar enough to be siblings. All of them were small, skinny, with blond hair and narrow faces. They looked… familiar, looked like… like… Steve Rogers, he thought, but that was absurd. Rogers – Captain America – had been 200 pounds of deadly muscle, nothing at all like these frail little kids. 

His head spun dizzily.

Adult, post-WS, kid!fic. The Winter Soldier herding a whole bunch of little Steve clones – this should be utterly ridiculous, instead it hits you right in the feels.

Sparked Up Like a Book of Matches, by Sena

Steve stops and doesn’t know what to do, to say. He wraps his arms around himself like he’s cold. He ignores the lady beside him cursing him for stopping in the middle of the walk. He makes himself move towards Bucky and he stops five feet away. He says, “Hey, Buck.“ 

Bucky says, "Why didn’t you ever send anyone after me?" 

Steve doesn’t say it’s because he was afraid he was going crazy. He tells another truth. "Because you deserve not to be hunted.”

Mature, post-WS, non-AoU-compliant. In which both Steve and Bucky are damaged and made me want to hug them forever, but which still managed to have me laughing out loud several times because of the awesome Avengers characterisations and snappy dialogue. My favourite combination.
