This week has been at least a month long, but after today I am (hopefully) off for three weeks oh my god. I'm going to lie around in a blanket burrito and moan about how much my body hates me. Then I'm going to have a robot rip a piece of it out! It's all very exciting.
IN THE MEANTIME: A RECCS LIST. I've been saving up for a while! I have many fandoms to share.
Batman: Good News (No One Mourns the Wicked) by Hinn_raven: General Audiences, Gen. The Robins who died meet up to welcome their newest member. Sad, but also very thoughtful and beautiful. If you're not familiar with all the DC Robins it's a trifle complicated, but those who love Batman/DC will find it especially poignant.
The Dead Isle: Google Is Not An Island by afinch: Not Rated, Gen. The Internet has come to Australia, but they're having an interesting debate about what a "real" name is. This was funny and a bit off-the-wall with a great point to it, and of course I adore fanfic of The Dead Isle. :D It is locked, so you will need to sign in to read it.
Supernatural: Hard to Handle, Easier to Hold by 51stcenturyfox: Not Rated, Castiel/Dean. Dean helps Castiel get on his feet after Falling, and Castiel isn't sure he appreciates that. I haven't watched SPN for several seasons but I loved this anyway; the quiet longing is gorgeous, and it's not even always clear what the longing is for, which is a surprisingly hard thing to convey.
Torchwood: Calypso by neifile7: Explicit, Jack/Ianto, Jack/Others. This is an older fic I read and loved years ago before I was recc'ing, but it's been posted to AO3 now so I thought it was worth reminding people of it. It covers Jack's time between the Game Station and Torchwood (thirty years later) and it is sexy and beautiful and funny and sad.
Welcome To Night Vale/Avengers: Taste Of Home by Daroos: General Audiences, Cecil/Carlos. A long, meaty adventure spanning Phil Coulson's departure from his hometown of Night Vale to his eventual (unintended) return. There's a lot of great SHIELD content and great Night Vale content, including a blind Cecil who sees through psychic contact, which is brilliant. Also features Bruce and Carlos bonding, Clint's all-round bafflement, and Sitwell's unwavering loyalty to his best friend.
Avengers:
I Just Called To Say I Tolerate You by withthepilot: Explicit, Steve/Tony/Pepper, Clint/Coulson. Steve ends up staying in Brooklyn when the other Avengers move into Stark Tower, but Clint's always coming by, eating his food and spying on him, and Steve does his best to mend some fences he broke. This is a long, meaty, funny, hot story about how the Avengers manage to forge an actual team in the wake of forming a temporary one.
Like Setting Off Fire Crackers At Midnight by what_alchemy: Explicit, Bucky/Steve, Clint/Coulson. Steve is still keeping Bucky's secrets in the 21st century. I'd normally give more of a summary but I got knocked back a little on this one and I loved it, so I don't want to spoil annnnything. It's a great fic about gender and sexuality. Don't even read the tags, just go for it.
Pot Calling Kettle by Cluegirl: Explicit, Bruce/Tony, Bruce/Tony/Steve. After a perilous incident involving aphrodesiac gas, Tony and Bruce are recovering but Steve is quietly and privately falling apart. This is a gorgeous long piece about being unable to ask for what you want, and being allowed to. It does have some (from the summary, obvious) discussion of consent and rape, and a few dubious-consent moments, so tread cautiously, but the trauma within the piece derives from other sources.
