First Fanfic Friday (as a community)

[shy_magpie]

Welcome one and all to an alliteratve reimagining of our little group as community! I will be sharing my recs for this week in the comments, and hope you will share what you have been reading as well. Please glance over the rules before commenting, but I don't think I actually changed so much as codified what we already do.

The Magnus Archives is currently second only to Good Omens in my heart. A fic with my OTP that directly addresses the cannon asexuality(!) of the main character? While presenting a great AU Version of the other half that is still very in character? I just had to share it with you!

Summary:

Without being able to touch, Martin is unsure how much mileage is left in their relationship.

Marvel's Captain America & Winter Soldier have a special place in my heart even when they aren't superheros, so have a story where they aren't being tortured for our entertainment for once:

Summary:

“Quick question,” Bucky said.

Steve looked up, but didn’t stop moving passports and stacks of cash into a nondescript blue duffel, his mind busily ticking through logistics. He’d grab the glock taped behind the hidden drawer in the desk on their way out, and they could buy new clothes once they got across the border into neutral territory, so they didn’t need much else, apart from whatever Bucky wanted to bring. One duffle should be enough. “Yeah, honey?”

“What the fuck.”

Lastly some straight up porn from the Supernatural universe. If nothing else this one is the most novel take on "monster fucking" I have come across

Oooooh! Do you think the first one works without canon knowledge?

I think all you need to know is that all three characters in this story are more than human as avatars of different fears. Peter is the avatar of the Lonely, fear of being left behind, isolated, etc. Jon is the avatar of Beholding, the fear of being watched. In this AU Martin is the avatar of Desolation, aka The Lightless Flame, basically fire and destruction without creation or befit. Important side effect Martin burns what he touches. Also, Jon is the canon asexual character but he doesn't talk about it, in the episode we only found out because his ex Georgie mentioned it to a mutual friend/coworker, so it makes sense he (or is at least in character) that he hasn't told Martin.
