Kat Recs All The Fics - Day 1

[kat_lair]

Welcome to the rec spam week! I'll be reccing 10 fics per day this week from a great variety of fandoms in an effort to clear some of the backlog.

Rec disclaimer: If I liked it, it's included. Meaning there are fics here that I liked in a 'aww, that made me smile' way as well as those that made me go 'oh god best thing ever, wish I could write like that'.

So, without further ado...

***


Harry Potter

A Thousand Beautiful Things - Draco/Harry, various other pairings. I recently reread this story and fell in love with it all over again (and discovered it has a sequel! though I haven't gotten that far yet). The plot is somewhat meandering and incorporates several different POVs as it charts events from 5th year to after the war. Written before the last books came out so it veers of canon at that point. The curse and the curse breaking are fascinating and work as a way to explore the characters, not just a contrived plot device to bring them together.

Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl - Draco/Harry, d/s. This is a very, very interesting fic from a Dom's pov that effectively captures a lot of the issues to do with control and respect and trust, including trust in yourself as a dominant. I enjoyed this a lot even though as a rule I tend to prefer Draco as a sub.



Hawaii Five-0

All the Girls Out On the Stoop - Danny/Steve. Okay so everyone has read this one already, right? Right? In which Danny's Veela heritage causes some serious havoc to his working life, to say nothing about his partnership... This is just delightful and hilarious. Danny's reactions are perfectly in character while Steve gets increasingly pissed off watching every criminal on the island try to hit on his partner.

Fix Definitely as Desired - Danny/Steve. Steve keeps giving Danny reasons to like Hawaii. A lot of them involve blowjobs. And how Steve kind of moves Danny into his house. Happy warm fuzzies all around as well as steamy sex and bickering.

I Keep Fixing Every Habit That I Break - Danny/Steve. Steve goes undercover as a rent boy, Danny gets a little, uh, territorial. Mmm... there is nothing but awesome about this fic. Steve all twinked up and eager under Danny's hands. There is a faint yet utterly delicious d/s flavour to this as well that made me very happy. In my pants.

Not Tonight Honey, I Have a Headache - Danny/Steve. Danny is Steve's 'wife'. It starts as a joke but doesn't stay like that for long. Funny and snarky with a good smattering of h/c. An uncomplicated treat of a fic.

Shall Pass Through Fire and Water - Danny/Steve. Danny thinks Steve is dead (spoiler: he's wrong). This is a lovely helping angst with a genuine sense of shock and loss at the beginning.



Star Trek XI (Reboot)

Matters of Size  - Spock/Uhura, implied Kirk/McCoy. Heee! Kirk only wants to defend the reputation of the human penis. For some reason no one believes him.



Star Trek XI (Reboot) RPS

Indefinable - Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto. I loved the pace and atmosphere of this; quiet and achy and sweet. Not knowing exactly what you are to each other, but knowing that you are something important.



Supernatural

Serial Games - Dean/Sam, AU. This is dark and twisted and contains graphic, extreme and eroticised violence. Winchester family as serial-killers and how Sam comes to want what he never wanted to want. The psychological aspects killing and coming to enjoy killing and the dynamic between the brothers are incredibly (disturbingly) well done.

Oooo, I remember "A Thousand Beautiful Things" or I remember the name and I think it was very good. God, it feels like ages since I was actively reading in HP fandom. Thank you for the recs!

I've learnt that having porn on the train is not always a good idea :D
