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!

Time Flies You Can’t, by Sabine

This girl body does what she asks it to, when she asks it, but sometimes when she doesn’t ask nicely enough she finds it does what it pleases. She’s been teaching it when to kiss and when to kill, though it wants to do both those things all the time.

Amazing post-series River POV. Shades of River/Simon, Simon/Kaylee, Mal/Inara – and Mal/River, which is the first fic that made this pairing work for me. Intense, dark-ish and slightly twisted (because River, oh).

Vid: This Is War, by sarqune

This song is so totally over-vidded – but every now and then there’s gems, and if there’s a suitable fandom, this is it. Also, it does some nice things with the sound and isn’t too literal, increasing the impact. Music by 30 Seconds to Mars.

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.

Unrestrained, by Ardath Rekha

Adult. Slight canon divergence to fit in some sexy times. Because ooh lala, during their talk on the skiff you could cut the sexual tension with a knife! 🙂
