Date: 2019-09-06 07:19 pm (UTC)Empty Graves (6539 words) by Unpretty
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Superman - All Media Types, DCU
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Jonathan Kent/Martha Kent, Clark Kent & Martha Kent
Characters: Martha Kent, Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - Character, space hitler
Additional Tags: Time Travel, Shotguns, probable minor hearing loss, Drug Use, moms named martha who will straight kill a dude
Series: Part 2 of Sorrowful and Immaculate Hearts
Summary:
Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.
Bookmarker's Notes:Great story with a great structure and time travel that makes sense
I am still reading everything in the Rusty Quill Gaming verse as fast as ducking spoilers will allow. While not the largest fandom on Ao3, I think we have some of the best authors. While context enriches this story, you don't need to know to much to enjoy Gruff Leader Zolf getting comforted by Sweet Hamid due to airsickness.

Fandom: Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Rating: General Audiences

Relationships: Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan/Zolf Smith, Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan & Zolf Smith
Characters: Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan, Zolf Smith
Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Airship time babey!, (im still thinking about the fact that they were roommates on the airship), Airsickness, Vomiting, but like. very lowkey, bc gross, Hurt/Comfort, Unresolved Romantic Tension, Mutual Pining, it's just blatant h/c ok this is an Old Fic
Summary:
The middle of the night sucks when one is, hypothetically, ill on an airship next to someone they definitely don't have feelings for, in the midst of a crisis of faith, having learned that their family was keeping ideological secrets.
You know, hypothetically, it would be nice for someone to extend a hand in this situation, or something.
Not that I am soft or anything, but please also enjoy communication problems with the original pair of sweetly pining idiots.
Birds of a Feather (3608 words) by idiopathicsmile
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Characters: Aziraphale (Good Omens), Crowley (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Nesting, this may technically count as xeno but only in the slightest respect, rated T for brief transdimensional angel sex
Summary:
“Isn’t this nice?” says Aziraphale with badly feigned casualness the next time Crowley stops by for a late night drink.
Crowley is all set to reply, words lined up in his mouth waiting to go, when Aziraphale adds,
“I mean, all of the books and furniture and bottles of wine and things?”
Aziraphale nests. Crowley relearns some crucial facts about angelic courtship rituals.
Back in RQG: Sasha is a rogue, and Azu is a paladin, she means well but sneakiness does not come naturally.
Ace of Hearts (3517 words) by Arazsya

Fandom: Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Azu/Sasha Rackett
Characters: Sasha Rackett, Azu (Rusty Quill Gaming)
Additional Tags: Awkwardness, mentoring
Summary:
Sasha hears Azu coming. That, really, is the problem. Part of the problem. One tiny facet of an intricately cut diamond of a problem.
Ok, I think you need to know a bit about batman to get this one, but I love how fandom comes up with new ways to tell stories.
Bad Publicity (0 words) by Unpretty
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: DCU, Batman - All Media Types
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Chris Hayes, Original Characters
Additional Tags: Twitter, I'M SORRY CHRIS HAYES YOU ARE A SERIOUS JOURNALIST YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS, Cantankerous Party Grandpa, Mobile Unfriendly, Image Heavy, Multimedia Fic
Series: Part 6 of Sorrowful and Immaculate Hearts
Summary:
Bruce Wayne is either really bad at Twitter, or really, really good.
Bookmarker's Notes:Neat relative of Epistemological format. Probably using the word wrong. Neat gimmick and I love outsider pov. Too bad Pepe got taken over by jerks, ending was a little jarring because of it.

Additional Tags: Horror, Case Fic, Serial Killers, Past Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Auror Harry Potter, Seer Draco Malfoy, Painting, Art, Bisexual Male Character, Bisexuality, Explicit Sexual Content, First Time Bottoming, Curses, Disturbing Themes
Summary:
In which Draco is a Seer and artist, living with Pansy and Luna in a secluded house, working on occasion with the Ministry of Magic (not that he's thrilled but solving crimes from afar seems like a worthy cause on some days) until Vision No. 33 brings Potter to his doorstep.
“There are a lot of nasty things at the Manor, Potter."
“I know. The Ministry wanted to have a look at it all, wanted to get their hands on it, but your mother has very good lawyers.”
Draco smiled, and this time it wasn’t a nice smile at all. “Of course. We might be pariahs now, but we won’t be poor pariahs.”
“Yes, so it seems,” Harry replied with a smile. “I would like to go over to the Manor with you and an expert on curses."
“Want to touch me that badly?”
“Yes,” Harry admitted without any hesitation.
Odd and morally dubious. Ofc I loved it.

Summary:
“And now, I’d like to invite Margaret Carter’s godson to come up and say a few words.”
A pointy elbow prodded at his side. Steve tilted his head towards Sam, a questioning furrow in his brow. Sam, with wide eyes, jerked his chin at the podium subtly, and Steve finally turned his gaze where he’d been avoiding.
It was Tony. Tony Stark was standing at the podium in a sharp suit, dark tinted glasses pushed up high on the bridge of his nose.
-
“You never told me you knew Peggy,” Steve said, quiet voice still carrying in the empty space.
Tony was staring at his hands. “Knew her?” he mumbled like the question amused him. Finally, he looked up. Steve had never seen those brown eyes so black. “She practically raised me, more than Howard ever did.”
“You know,” Steve found himself saying. “If I never went into the ice, you’d probably be my godson too.”
-
Based on the prompt: Peggy is Tony's godmother
This is a reminder to myself to find more Peggy as Tony's godmother fics as this was excellent but far too short and heartbreaking.
Rude Awakening (4621 words) by Nonesane

Summary:
Crowley disappears for close to a century and then comes sauntering back into Aziraphale's life, nearly bringing about a riot as he does. Aziraphale is suitably miffed.
a) it has footnotes and b) as mentioned a couple of weeks ago it's within the one of the historical interludes so I'm instantly happy.

Skyrim & Transformers
Date: 2019-09-07 12:22 pm (UTC)I don't think you need to know canon for the TF fic - lord knows I don't, beyond "they're all robots who can transform into cars and other things, and the fandom has multiple different established ways of writing robot sex". XD For the Skyrim fic, I don't think you need to either, but since I've played at least some of that I can't say so with the same certainty as with TF.

Coming Into Focus (6,481 words) by
Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Brainstorm/Perceptor
Characters: Brainstorm (Transformers), Perceptor (Transformers)
Additional Tags: Alt-Mode Sexual Interfacing, Sticky Sexual Interfacing, Body Worship, Frottage, Oral Sex, In which science is Fun and Sexy
Summary: Brainstorm likes Perceptor's alt-mode. He really likes Perceptor's alt-mode.
This is adorable and delightful and very hot, especially considering one of the participants is a microscope :D

The Wolf Queen Awakens (361,784 words) by
Chapters: 50/50
Fandom: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Elisif the Fair/Madanach, Ria/Vilkas, Erandur/Aranea Ienith, Argis the Bulwark/Farkas, Delphine/Brynjolf, Cicero/Eola
Characters: Elisif the Fair, Jordis the Sword-Maiden, Falk Firebeard, Ria (Elder Scrolls), Aela the Huntress, Vilkas, Farkas (Elder Scrolls), Kodlak Whitemane, Skjor, Ulfric Stormcloak, Delphine (Elder Scrolls), Arngeir, Erandur, Erikur, Elenwen, Brynjolf, Cicero (Elder Scrolls), Esbern (Skyrim), Eola, Kaie, Madanach, Sapphire (Elder Scrolls), Karliah, Aranea Ienith, Nepos the Nose, Ralof, Njada Stonearm, Argis the Bulwark, Balgruuf the Greater, Rikke, General Tullius
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Gen Work, Companions, Skyrim Civil War, Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Revenge, Blades, Dark Brotherhood - Freeform, Thieves Guild, Forsworn
Series: Part 1 of Elisif the Dragon-Queen
Summary: Dragons may signify the world's end but as far as Elisif's concerned, her world ended well before that when Ulfric Stormcloak murdered her husband. So it is that no one's more surprised than her when a dragon attack on Solitude reveals that there's more to the High Queen in waiting than anyone suspected.
I love how this fleshes out Elisif into someone truly badass, who learns to handle her grief also handle dragons. Like a badass. Though it benefits from canon knowledge, I think it works perfectly well as an essentially original adventure story, especially if you like intimidated, helpless ladies learning to be badass ladies, and relationships involving rather sweet femdom.

Cicero Dragonborn (696,029 words) by
Same author and fandom as the one above, same absolutely fantastic writing. The premise is: what if Cicero, a cold-blooded assassin, had become the Dragonborn, hero of Skyrim? Despite the male main character, this is another series that features a plethora of awesome female leads as well as some very hot and rather less sweet femdom. The last fic in the series is incomplete, but the other fics are each completed with no lose ends, and the WIP ends at a decently satisfying point as well. Another fic that I think stands reasonably well on its own. Read this if you like badass ladies, unlikely heroes, serial killers, and hardcore BDSM. Don't read this if you don't like gore, torture, and merciless killing. (But if those sound like positives rather than negatives, definitely definitely give this a try!)

Drive Me Wild (12,979 words) by
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types
Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Drift | Deadlock/Ratchet
Characters: Drift | Deadlock (Transformers), Ratchet (Transformers)
Additional Tags: Alt Modes, alt mode sex, Robots, Consensual, Kinky, Tentacles, Light Bondage, Sex with a Car
Series: Part 6 of Mend What is Broken
Summary: When Drift tries to figure out why Ratchet’s suddenly acting shy, he discovers the medic’s got a kink that Drift’s never even dreamed existed. Contains alt mode sex. In six parts.
I have not read the rest of the series yet. This is car sex, which is to say one of the participants is a car. An ambulance, to be more precise. :D The author has an odd habit of writing porn in chapters, which gets a little odd when you're reading it all in one go and the chapter starts with a recap of the previous one that you just read, but it's still very hot sex, all about trust and overwhelming pleasure and exploring new things :D

Cock and Shoot It (6,978 words) by
Fandom: The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types
Rating: Explicit

Summary: Swerve's loneliness manifests itself as an unusual taste in porn. Whirl validates him, in his own way.
Swerve needs the biggest damn hug. This is sweet, and hot - the described porn at the start almost more than the sex itself - and again alllll about the trust. <3

Summary: A most peculiar courtship occurs aboard the Nemesis.
I am SUCH a big damn fan of "society and biology says we're incompatible but fuck that". And also, courtship \o/

My next rec is a series, but I'm picking out two fics I especially enjoyed (and encouraging you to read the rest as well). The series premise is "Sanguine, the god of debauchery, partying, guilt-tinged desire, and poorly thought-out impulse decisions (thinking is boring) and his sexy, sexy adventures across Skyrim." There's an overarching, uh, "plot", but it's really just porn. xD

Relationships: Hermaeus Mora/Sanguine
Characters: Hermaeus Mora, Sanguine, Original Characters
Additional Tags: Tentacles, Mildly Dubious Consent, Consentacles, mildly dubious consentacles, Tentacle Sex, Deepthroating, Spitroasting
Series: Part 3 of Book of Sanguine
Summary: Sanguine is bored. Hermaeus Mora is unlucky enough to have to deal with this.
In this: Sanguine is bored. Sanguine finds a bunch of cultists trying to summon Hermaeus Mora, the be-tentacled god of knowledge. Sanguine goads Mora into fucking him for research purposes. It's hilarious because the cultists keep giving Mora tips on how to actually enjoy himself ("you need to add some nerve endings to your appendage-"). In this one Sanguine happens to be a woman. She's not really fussed, but I suppose when there's tentacles that's useful xD

Series: Part 4 of Book of Sanguine
Summary: Farengar's tastes are a bit unusual; Sanguine can accommodate that.
Or, I've wanted to write this fandom joke for years now and I can't believe nobody else has, or if they did, that I can't find it.
In this one, Farengar really, *really* likes dragons. And is also a mage, which is the in-universe equivalent of a scientist in that he's curious and wants to know *everything*. Kinky, kinky hunger for knowledge! Sanguine is male in this one. Or, well. He's a dragon, anyway. XD
Re: Skyrim & Transformers
Date: 2019-09-08 05:09 am (UTC)Thanks for the recs! I don't think I've read either fandom, so I appreciate letting us know which of these work coming in with no knowledge.
