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.

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.

As always, read fic in all kinds of random fandoms over the past few months, and here are some of my favs!

( Dresden Files: Harry/Marcone )

( Kingsman: Hartwin )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

( Teen Wolf: Sterek )

I started listening to The Dresden Files book series on audiobook a couple of years ago, and the series has totally hooked me. Each one is better than the last, building on previous plot points, weaving in old and new threads, and generally just being super entertaining. As I usually do when I consume a new piece of awesome media, I went trolling for fic. Here are some of my favorites! :D

In the Notes section of each entry I have different tags, so if you are looking for something specific (like "first time" for example) just ctrl+f and enter your tag and it should highlight the relevant entries!

( Harry Dresden/John Marcone )

( Harry Dresden/The Erlking )

I haven't had as much fandom time as I would have liked this past month, but I did manage to squeeze a bit of reading in across a couple of different fandoms. Here are some of my favorites. :D

( Avengers: Steve/Tony )

( The Dresden Files: Harry/Marcone )

( The Raven Cycle: Adam/Raven )

( Shadowhunters/TMI: Alec/Magnus )

( Star Trek: Kirk/Spock )

( Star Trek RPF: Chris/Zach )

Has anybody on my f-list read the Dresden Files? I am seriously obsessed and I need people to talk to about it! There is (sadly) not a ton of fanfic out there, but there is a bit, and I have been eagerly reading whatever I can get my grabby hands on. I really hope they greenlight a TV show again, because nothing gets a fandom's blood going like visual adaptations, I've found. Anyway, I am almost all caught up on the series, and I hit a big milestone this past month when I finished book #12, as there were a good number of fanfics written after that book came out. See below for some of my favorites, and do let me know if any of you have read the series! <3

Title: thawing out (or, the one with the hot tub sex)
Author: lucia_tanaka | LuciaZephyr
Pairing: Harry/John
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,992
Content/Warnings: bottom!harry
Summary: For the prompt: Come on people. You know how Harry never experienced a hot water bath in his adult life until White Night. Just like how others could have seduced him into their side with food instead of money, power, etc. I suspect that hot water works as well. You could throw in Hot Water!Sex if you want. XD
This is a fic with a bunch of the author's kink-meme fills, but I'm especially reccing/linking to the last chapter/fill, which is basically some crazy hot hot tub sexy! (spoilers to book 13)

Title: Cross
Author: lightgetsin | lightgetsin
Pairing: Harry/John
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 33,878
Content/Warnings: ghost!harry, bottom!harry, first time, dub-con, ambiguous/open ending
Summary: “Because,” Dresden said, “you’re going to bring me back.” He hesitated, looking somewhat sour. “You’re the only one who can, apparently.”
Ooo, gosh, this was just fantastic. Such a wonderful post-Changes fic, with a really great Marcone. It's interesting and seriously hot and the ending is perfect, if a little bittersweet. (spoilers through book 12)

Title: Choices 'verse (2 Fics)
Author: Kethrua
Pairing: Harry/John
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 35,507 total
Content/Warnings: AU, bonding!fic, dub-con, bottom!harry, first person POV
Summary: In an AU to Changes, Harry sold himself to John Marcone instead of Mab. They both take a while to adjust to this. Written for the Kinkmeme, for a prompt requesting both serious treatment of the issues and smut. Contains non-explicit reference to past child abuse and rape.
Ooo, gosh, this is such a fantastic fic! Loved the concept of Harry bonding himself to Marcone instead of Mab, and the development of Harry and Marcone's relationship was just fantastic. Super hot, and the issues of consent were handled really well, I thought. (Spoilers through book 12)

Title: The Spirit and the Letter Series (4 fics)
Author: lightgetsin | lightgetsin
Pairing: Harry/John
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 55,299
Content/Warnings: genderswap, temporarily-a-girl!Harry, bottom!harry, het sex, rough sex, light bondage, implied switching
Summary: "Hey, I just realized!" Bob said. "You're like a country song: you lost your house, you lost your car, you lost your job, and now you've lost your dick!"
Gosh, this series is just fantastic. It starts with Harry being temporarily turned into a girl, and I love how that ends up being sort of the catalyst that ends up driving Harry into Marcone's bed. There a ton of hot sex (with Harry as both genders) and the evolution of Harry and Marcone's relationship is just wonderful. Great characterizations, and just a really wonderful read. (Spoilers through book 12)

Title: Account For
Author: akelios
Pairing: Harry Dresden/The Erlking
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,805
Content/Warnings: rimming, outdoor!sex, rough!sex bottom!harry, first person POV, non-linear timeline, rimming, biting
Summary: Cold air burned through my lungs; sharp, welcome pain. I breathed deep, taking it in, letting it fill me and make my blood sing. It was night, or what passed for night here in the Erlking's lands. The moon was full. A Hunter's Moon. What else? I'd stumbled into this little cave a few minutes ago, needing a moment to catch my breath.
Hot and gorgeously written, almost lyrical, fic. (Spoilers through book 7.)
