I have a few different rec lists, so here is a handy-dandy post linking you to all of them. Be warned, I am a huge fan of smut and almost all of my recs are rated R or NC-17, so if you are looking for lower-rated fics, this is not the place for you. This is also almost exclusively slash pairings, though every once in awhile a het pairing manages to sneak its way in there.

I also dabble in fanfic writing, so if you're interested, you can find that HERE.

If you are curious about my likes/dislikes/preferences in fic because you want to make me something (or because you're just nosy), you can find those HERE.

As usual, I bounced around reading in all sorts of fandoms over the past few months, and here are a handful of favorites! We've got some of my fav fics from the recently concluded harrydracobang, several fics from writcraft because I read and commented on 40 of their fics I'd not yet read for their birthday a few weeks back, and then a bunch of other random fics! I've decided to attempt to reinstate my ~TBR backlog reading challenge~ in which I shoot to read at least one Drarry and one non-HP fic a week from my "Marked for Later" list on AO3. The Drarry fics might get paused as I'll likely sub in newer postings from hd_fan_fair as that starts posting soon, as well as all the fics I'll be reading/proofing for hd_erised, but my TBR list is getting out of control so it's time to start hacking away at it. :D

( Harry Potter: Drarry )

( Harry Potter: Jeddy )

( Radio 1D: Gryles )

( Sherlock: Johnlock )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

( Supernatural RPF: J2 )

( Teen Wolf: Sterek )

( Thor: Thorki )

Challenge #13: In your own space, create a fanwork.

I would love to participate in this challenge, but I legitimately do not have the time nor headspace to create something at the moment. BUT, what I do have are a handful of non-HP multi-fandom recs that I've been meaning to post, and I figure creating a reclist is definitely a fanwork of a type, so here are some random recs!

( The Avengers )

( The Avengers: Thorki )

( The Dresden Files )

( Supernatural: Destiel )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

( Supernatural: Benny/Dean )

Challenge #14: Share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) What makes it particularly appealing for you? What do you like in fanworks featuring that trope?

Your girl LOVES a trope, let me tell you, and I could honestly wax poetic about any number of tropes, but one of my absolutely favorite ~category~ of tropes, if you will, is forced proximity.

I love this one because it has so much sub-tropes that fall within its larger umbrella (bonding!fic, shared bed, forced/arranged marriage, working together, roommates, cuddling for warmth, trapped on an island, etc.) but basically I just love when two characters are smushed together (generally not entirely happily or voluntarily) and then FEELINGS HAPPEN. I'm not a fan of every single sub-trope for all of my pairings or fandoms (for example, though I loved forced/arranged marriage fics, I don't like them at all for Harry/Draco) which I why I tend to say more generally that I loved forced proximity because there is always at least one sub-trope within that category that I love for any given pairing.

Didn't do much HP reading this month, but I did find some time to read a number of excellent and mostly longer fics in a couple of other fandoms!

( Avengers: Stony )

( Star Trek RPF: Pinto )

( Supernatural: Destiel )

I didn't read a ton of fanfic in August that wasn't related to proofing, but there were a few fics that I indulged in, and my favs are below!

( HP: Cross Gen )

( HP: Drarry )

( Raven Cycle: Pynch )

I actually didn't read a ton of fanfic this past month, as I ended up signing up for a free month of Kindle Unlimited and sort of fell down a rabbit-hole of original m/m romances...But I did read a few gems!

( All for the Game: Andreil )

( The Avengers: Stony )

( The Raven Cycle: Pynch )

( The Raven Cycle: Rovinsky )

I haven't been reading a ton of fanfic, but I have a few that I've yet to properly rec over here that I've read over the past month or two, so I figured I'd make a quick post

( HP: Draco/Harry )

( HP: James/Teddy )

( MCU: Stony Rec )

( Radio 1/One Direction: Harry/Nick )

Title: Tony's Oral Ministrations and sequel Really a Sensitive Soul, Deep Down
Author: eternalsojourn
Pairings: Steve/Tony
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,869 total
Content/Notes rimming, bottom!tony, heavily implied switching
Summary: Tony really likes it when Steve is eager and embarrassed. Really really.
Really sexy fic with Tony loving how sensitive Steve is, and doing his best to make him fall a part. Hotter than hell, and I loved the little glimpses of Steve and Tony's characters and relationship here. (The first fic says it's a WIP, but I think it's complete)

Title: Fucking Great
Author: ohfreckle
Pairing(s): Arthur/Eames
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,583
Content/Notes: AU: Non-Dreamshare, firefighter!eames, implied bottom!arthur
Summary: Eames is a firefighter. He loves dogs, taking selfies and Arthur, not necessarily in that order.
Smoking hot fic with Eames as a firefighter posing one of those sexy calendars, and, of course, Arthur is immediately attracted to him. Some sizzling chemistry and super hot sex.

Title: (This kind of Thing) Only Happens in my Dreams
Author: 1lostoneficspot | 1lostone
Pairing(s): Arthur/Eames
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 7,365
Content/Notes: size!kink, i_reversebang 2016
Summary: None of this would have happened if Eames would have just shown him the fucking tattoos.
Super hot fic with Arthur being obsessed with Eames and his tattoos, and deciding to PASIV Eames out of his system. Which, of course, doesn't go quite according to plan--not that Arthur ends up minding!

Title: Highlight of My Lowlife
Author: EggMuffin
Pairing: Harry/Eggsy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,812
Content/Warnings: AU, daddy!kink, light D/s, bottom!eggsy
Summary: Eggsy might be largely uneducated, but he’s not actually stupid. He knows that most people think he’s nothing more than a glorified whore, but the fact is that Eggsy is currently on vacation in Cape Verde, while most of his critics have to deal with the shitty November weather in England. This is not the life Eggsy had in any way imagined or planned, but if an attractive older gentleman wants to take him on expensive vacations and buy him nice things, he’s certainly not going to complain.
Super fucking hot AU with Sugar Daddy Harry and a cheeky Eggsy building their relationship slowly and culminating in some amazingly hot sex.

Title: Fight The Wind & Wait For You
Author: hewhomustnotbejames
Pairing: Adam/Ronan
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,739
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!ronan, rimming
Summary: Adam's back in town for his 21st birthday.
Pretty much just a super freaking hot PWP with ALL THE SEX.

Lots of random recs! Some of these have been on my TBR list for ages, some are from winter fests, some are super random fics inspired by recent rewatching of television series'...

Title: Party girls don't get hurt
Author: sirona_gs | sirona
Pairings: Steve/Tony, Tony/OCs, Steve/OFC
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 12,871
Content/Notes AU: Alternate First Meeting, bottom!tony, age difference
Summary: Steve never slept under the ice. Howard found him, and got him back, and Steve married Peggy, and Howard married Maria, and then there was Tony. This is the story of Tony growing up with Steve very much present in his life, and everything that changed because of it - and some things that didn't.
Really beautiful written and very cool AU, with Steve having been around all of Tony's life, and the MCU movies happening much earlier in Tony's life. LOVED the age difference here and the dynamics between Steve and Tony. Their relationship was wonderfully written, and the whole development was really spot on.

Title: my heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck
Author: theladyingrey42
Pairing(s): Bitty/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,772

Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7,976
Content/Warnings: drinking games
Summary: "Eric Richard Bittle does not choke on his drink. He is not thinking about Jack’s hands, nor is he thinking about twisting, checking, or any combination of the two. He is just a small southern boy who came to play hockey and mind his own business."
Super cute fic with a really great ensemble cast, and some beautiful mutual pining from Jack and Bitty.

Title: The Left Hand of Godlessness
Author: tourdefierce | tourdefierce
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack, past Jack/Parse, background Shitty/Lardo
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 38,044
Content/Warnings: switching, bottom!bitty, bottom!jack, addiction recovery
Summary: If Jack’s learned anything from Shitty, it’s that Jack deserves nice things now. There is not a timetable on happiness. And Shitty is certain a future means “fucking fuck all” if Jack’s “a miserable, broken robot”. And regardless of any promises, Jack is certain no one could protect him from Eric Bittle because even the armor of Jack’s recovery had done nothing in the face of southern hospitality and unconditional, unapologetic love.
Between Shitty and Bitty, Jack is spoiled with the now.
Wonderfully real fic that cover's Jack's addition and continuous recovery. Jack was really beautifully characterized, and the development between Jack and Bitty's relationship was perfection.

Title: Good Mornin’
Author: uberaeryn
Pairing(s): Jack/Sawyer
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1,200

Summary: Merlin's mum always told him to stay away from Druid festivals. Unfortunately, Merlin never has been any good at listening.
Or, five times Merlin and Arthur shag after waking up accidentally soulbonded together, and one time they don't.
Really lovely and super sexy fic with Merlin and Arthur accidentally getting soul-bonded without liking each other much. Which leads to lots of hot sex and of course ~feelings.

Title: The Lake
Author: Magnolia822
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, past Arthur/Gwen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 8,565
Content/Warnings: AU: Reincarnation, AU: Modern, bottom!merlin, memory loss, merlin holidays 2015
Summary: After years of waiting for Arthur, Merlin can’t take it anymore and uses a memory-wiping spell on himself. Since the spell, every year on the anniversary of Arthur’s death, Merlin returns to the lake like a migrant bird. It’s a compulsion he cannot overcome, but he doesn’t know why he does it.
Really lovely Modern Reincarnation type fic. Loved seeing Arthur get used to the modern world, and Merlin rediscover himself with Arthur.

Rating: R overall
Word Count: ~56,000

Summary: A young Vulcan decides to find a mate for his guardian, Spock. After careful calculations, Cadet Kirk is obviously the superior choice.
Super sweet fic with Spock's cousin, Selik, trying to set Spock and Kirk up, and then detailing their lives together. Just the sweetest thing. (There is also a WIP 3rd fic, but that is primarily Amanda/Serek, and I have not read it.)

Summary: When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.
Really fantastic fic with Spock and Kirk getting fake married to adopt an adorable Vulcan child, and of course there is glorious mutual pining. The characterizations are fantastic, and the build is really great. Very satisfying read.

Day 4

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Create something.

I just started by new job today, so I do not have time to write anything. I do, however, have some multi-fandom recs of some non-HP fics I read and loved recently.

Title: Cherry Ride

Word Count: 9,348

Lovely, gentle fic that had Jack and Bitty coming together after Jack graduated. The pining is lovely, as is the easy acceptance from them both that they are a thing that is happening.

Title: Drop It While It's Hot
Author: esterbrook
Pairing(s): Eric/Jack
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 15,214
Content/Warnings: outdoor!sex

He's going to need more butter.
Such a sweet fic that takes place the summer after Jack graduates. Beautiful characterizations and the build was fabulous.

Pairing: Adam/Ronan
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 2,237
Content/Warnings: established relationship, praise!kink, bottom!ronan
Summary: The thing about being Ronan Lynch is that no one expects you to do something good. The thing about dating Ronan Lynch is that Adam doesn't expect him to be romantic. Or: the two times that Ronan tried his experiment and the one time it actually worked.

But when Spock discovers his partner of one night is Jim Kirk, a promising new cadet at Starfleet, he's torn between his rational decision to avoid intimate relationships and his increasing fascination with Jim. As Spock's normally orderly life starts to spin out of control, will his obsession with Jim prove his salvation or his undoing?
Such an awesome, sexy Academy AU! Loved the teacher/student aspect and the connection between Jim and Spock was seriously hot. Fabulous read and a fantastic ending.

Derek knew it was going to be a bad idea, but he never could have predicted all of the ways that Stiles would end up turning his life upside down.
Really lovely fic with Omega!Stiles having to stay with Derek because his dad is hurt, and of course Derek is prickly and likes his space, but ends up warming up to the charming Stiles. Really sweet and enjoyable read.
