Title: Christmas Without You (Is a Christmas Not Worth Having)

Author: OneWhoSitsWithTurtles(AO3)

Rating: Explicit (NC-17)

Fandom: Inception

Warnings: angst, domestic, bottom!arthur

Summary: The relationship was over and Arthur resigned himself to a Christmas and New Years alone - his first one alone since Eames had swept him up in a daydream of a life three years ago. Then the phone rings; the airport is completely snowed in and Eames - having just promised to leave Arthur’s life forever - is suddenly without a place to stay. And Arthur isn’t heartless enough to leave him out in the snow.

Comments: Full of angst, fluff and forgiveness.  A very domestic, working-things-out fic, and nicely written.

Title: Predator/Prey

Author: someone_who_isnt_me (AO3)

Rating: Explicit (NC-17)

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Word Count: ~19.3k

Warnings: AU, vampire!prostitute!stiles, knotting, bottom!stiles

Summary: Angels fucking wept and Stiles got nervous.

The only reason a guy who looked like this and drove a car like this would be picking up a scrawny underage hooker was because he wanted to do to Stiles the sorts of things you couldn’t ask a girlfriend or boyfriend for, or even a stranger in a bar. Nasty-bad wrong things. Things that only money handed over could make better, silence bought and paid for.

Or maybe a dead hooker in a ditch who couldn’t talk, no need to pay for the silence.

But Stiles had his own methods for making sure that didn’t happen.

Stiles is a vampire. Derek’s still the Alpha. And there’s knotting.

Comments: Lovely fic, very well written and full of delicious porn.  Open ending.

Word Count: ~5.1k

Warnings: Dom/sub, subdrop, aftercare, sub!clint

Summary: Phil doesn’t know what, exactly, but something is wrong.

Clint shows up two hours late to work instead of the usual half-hour, and when he walks into the briefing room, he settles silently in his chair and sits perfectly still.

Comments: Something’s wrong with Clint, and Phil’s determined to find out what it is; and then fix it.  Beautiful fic, lots of fluff and cuddling and working things out.

Title: You Were a Kindness When I Was a Stranger

Author: DevilDoll(AO3)

Rating: Explicit (NC-17)

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Word Count: ~8.1k

Warnings: AU, Dom/sub, bottom!stiles

Summary: “It’s not all handcuffs and spankings and learning to deep throat.” This is an AU with consensual BDSM sex acts, in which Derek supports Stiles financially in exchange for a sexual relationship. Stiles is of legal age.

Comments: This amazing fic is a Stiles/Derek 50 Shades of Grey crossover; it is less creepy than the book and the writing is far, far better.  It’s sexy and angsty and fluffy at different times, with a lovely ending.  Beautiful fic, and definitely worth reading!

Fandom: Avengers

Word Count: ~2.7

Warnings: gunplay (in a non-creepy way)

Summary: Coulson doesn’t have to shoot things very often, but that doesn’t mean he’s not skilled with his sidearm. Clint likes that. A lot.

Comments: In which Phil’s good with a gun and Clint’s turned on.  Great fic!

Comments: Great fic, beautifully written and very funny!  Also, it’s supercharged with sexual tension and fluffiness.

our-girl-friday just donated to my team in the Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon! (Message me if you’re interested in donating!)

In reward I present a follow up to yesterday’s post in which Erik is an angry over-protective swan. 

“Now, do you see these thinner, green stalks? Not the grass, but the water plants. These have very tasty tubers that are ready to be eaten in springtime after the third moon following the—”

“I don’t like tubers,” Pietro says, interrupting Erik’s lecture.

“You’ll like these,” Erik says, ruffling his feathers a little in annoyance.

Pietro starts to chirp in disagreement, but then Lorna swims a little too close and bumps hard into his tail, nearly climbing up on top of him in confusion. Pietro snaps at her and they both nearly upend in the shallow water. 

“No, biting,” Erik says, bowing his head down and nudging them apart with his beak. “Lorna, watch where you’re swimming, and—wait, where’s Wanda?” He lifts his head back up without waiting for a response. He could hear her splashing around on his left a moment ago, but now that side of the little inlet is empty and quiet except for the lapping of waves on the shore. The water is choked with water grass and pussy willows here, creating a green curtain all around them that could easily conceal a small lost cygnet. Or any number of predators. What was he thinking taking them so close to the bank like this? He never should have brought them so far away from the nest in the first place. What if that boat of humans from this morning came back? How can he go back to Charles and tell him that he lost one of their babies? How can he lose another after Anya—

Erik starts to rise up out of the water in his panic, spreading his wings as he swings his neck back and forth frantically. “Wanda? Wanda?” He to go into a defensive stance, searching for something to attack, but then there’s a loud squawk from directly behind him.  

“Geez, Dad, I’m right here!”

Erik spins his neck around and there she is, perched on his back and teetering wildly as he rears up. He sinks back down in the water and folds his wings back so she’s surrounded in a white ring of feathers. “You scared me half to death, young lady!”

“Sorry, sorry, calm down,” Wanda says, rolling her eyes at his overprotectiveness. But she still coos as Erik starts preening her in relief. Lorna scrambles up his tail feathers to get nuzzled as well, while their brother struggles ineffectively against his flank.

“Dad! Dad! I can’t get up! Dad!” 

“Okay, okay, everyone on board,” Erik grumbles, helping Pietro up with a bump of his beak. “But I’m not a taxi, and you all still need to practice your diving.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Pietro says, shaking out the water from his feathers and settling in at the prime spot right where Erik’s wings meet. “We’ll all eat lots of tubers later.” 

They’re almost too old to ride now, but, well, Erik might as well enjoy having them all safely in one place while he can. He pushes past some water lilies and takes them out into the deep water toward the center of the river.

Side Pairings: Phil/Clint/Phil’s Life Model Decoy

Warnings: threesome of sorts, PWP, bottom!clint

Summary: “Yes,” Clint says, looking between the two of them. Because apparently, Phil’s Life Model Decoy imitating a perfect copy of Phil’s thought patterns means it’s also going to imitate his needs and wants and, well, who is Clint to deny scientific progress? “Very much yes.”

And Phil says, “Oh.”

And Phil’s LMD says, identically, “Oh.”

And Clint’s brain kind of breaks, in a good way.

Comments: Beautifully written fic, in which Phil has a Life Model Decoy and there is porn.

Title: Salted Caramels series (currently consisting of five fics)

Author: Sinope (AO3)

Rating: PG - Explicit (NC-17)

Fandom: Avengers

Word Count: fics range from under 1k to ~4k

Warnings: lots of smut, some Dom/sub, bottom!clint (read the warnings on each fic to be safe)

Summary: Sweet bon-bons of Clint/Coulson, with just a hint of savory. The ficlets are chronologically ordered and in the same universe, but don’t expect anything so orderly as an actual plot. Each can be read as a stand-alone.

Comments: A beautifully written series, full of fluff and porn.  My favourite fic is Quiver, in which Clint’s new arrows are used very creatively.

Erik the guinea pig was highly uncomfortable.

This was not new. It was his nature to be aggressively uncomfortable with things in general, unless they were Charles. The other guinea pig was, quite possibly, the epitome of comfortable, from his placid nature to his plush, curly, brown fur. He was also getting rather plump and squashy, due to Erik’s willingness to run about fetching him food and Charles’ willingness to lie down in a warm corner and be spoiled.

Title: Like smiling through a plate of Fettuccine Alfredo

Rating: M

Fandom: Avengers

Word Count: ~3.2k

Warnings: asexual!clint

Summary: Phil is good with intel. He shouldn’t require an overheard game of Truth or Dare to learn essential facts about his partner. Clint’s good at being selective about personal information. He shouldn’t be having a relationship crisis about this in the first place.

Or: Clint’s asexual but keeps quiet about it, Coulson isn’t, and didn’t realize Clint was. It takes them a while to clear up the resulting misunderstandings, but in the end, they make it work.

Comments: A well written fic with lots of feels and a working-things-out plotline.  Phil finds out that Clint’s asexual but Clint still wants to make Phil happy, despite his lack of sex drive.

Charlie Maus ( ´ ▽ ` ): a fic where cranky omega Charles judges alphas as potential mates against how much he likes the biscuits they bring him

This is literally the stupidest thing ever written.

Irritably, Charles studied the spreadsheet on the screen in front of him and, after a put-upon sigh, highlighted one row of cells and struck out everything from the name through the last column of data. Following that, he typed REJECTED into the column headed FINAL DETERMINATION, stabbing the keys vindictively.

Alex Summers was the fourteenth alpha—the fourteenth alpha—to fail the final, and most important, test. He’d been a few years younger than Charles, but given the weight of age difference relative to other considerations, his genetic and personality profiles, and his promising time in the hundred-yard dash, meant six years’ age difference was not significant enough a factor to rule him out.

This was why, Charles told himself, one had equations and statistics: a way to quantify and explain the abstract..Other omegas might have overlooked any one of a number of potentially viable mates by going off instinct or whatever it was omegas were supposed to go by all the time. Charles refused to have anything to do with such outdated concepts.
