Fandom: Devil May Cry Characters: Nero, Dante, Vergil, Trish, Kyrie Rating: T

When Kyrie goes missing, Nero goes on a desperate search to find her. Unfortunately, Dante and Vergil go too. Lots of Sparda boys shenanigans, fighting demons, a smattering of family drama, the sex talk, and male bonding. Otherwise known as Nero's worst nightmare.

I wanted to have a space where I could reminisce about some older fics that have been finished for a time, and deserve a little love! I can't just "shelve" them in my mind, so instead of letting them collect metaphorical dust, I want to showcase them! (Will I do this every Friday? Highly unlikely.)

Between Vices and Virtues

King Thorin Durinson has only held the throne for a few months after the death of his greedy predecessor. When Shire Inquiry journalist Bilbo Baggins is brought in to observe a meeting of powers, it's quickly made apparent that Thorin's sheltered and strict lifestyle has him completely disconnected from those he rules, as well as his family. It's up to Bilbo to show Thorin that the world is worth exploring and that not everything is as it seems. (modern royalty au, gen, 40k)

This was a part of 2022's Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, where I had the amazing opportunity to work with @sleepysandwichguy! I've been thinking about this one a lot lately, and I have two sequels planned for it. So naturally, I had to share this one first!

Mutually Beneficial by @scandalsavagefanfic

11k | Explicit | SladeJay

Jason knows who Slade Wilson is and that he should stay away from him.

He knows the man is a vicious competitor of his father’s with a business ethic firmly in the dark gray to black side of the spectrum.

He also knows that his older brother drank too much one night, while he was in college, and fell for Wilson’s sweet talk, whatever that could possibly sound like, and that the older man still, years later, finds ways suggestively drop Dick’s name into conversations with their father.

So when he sees the man’s signature white hair and eye patch approaching his position at the bar, Jason makes a real attempt to avoid him.

Fic Back Friday

For today's FBF, have a MCU (Avengers) fic with Clint/Natasha. Stuck on surveillance duty in a hot room with crappy ventilation, there's only a few ways to keep busy...

I have like a month that I don't do this (oops! 😅), but I remembered today! So, here's an old fic of mine (well not that old, but anyway, I'm doing self-promotion here). Yet another story where Alexsandr Kallus get whumped. Why is he so whumpable? I don't know, but I have a blast writing making him suffer. Of course, that's it with the corresponding comfort at the end, especially if it's Zeb who gives it 😉

Enjoy!

Chapters: 1/1

Fandom: Star Wars: Rebels, Star Wars - All Media Types

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Words: 1897.

Relationships: Alexsandr Kallus/Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios

Characters: Alexsandr Kallus, Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, Ezra Bridger

Additional Tags: Whump, Whumptober, Day 1, Bound, au where kanan lives and ezra stays home, star wars xtober extravaganza 2k21, swxt 2k21, Prompt: Bound, Hurt Alexsandr Kallus, Established Relationship

Series: Part 1 of Star Wars X-tober Extravaganza 2k21, Part 2 of Rebel Hearts

Summary: After a solo mission to the planet Dela goes south, Kallus finds himself in a tight spot. The Spectres go to his rescue but the actual saving turns out more complicated than expected.

AN EXPLOSIVE SITUATION

An explosion at a distance distracts Kallus from the cramping muscles on his shoulders and back. As the concussive wave rattles the complex, he forgets for a moment the deep ache on his legs and arms aggravated by the stress position he’s forced to be in. He’s sitting on the floor with his legs crossed and his wrists and elbows cuffed behind his back. A thick collar around his neck is connected by a short bar to the cuffs around his ankles and forces him to hunch forward. The bent position makes it difficult to breathe deeply. Kallus concentrates on taking measured breaths.

An alarm for intruders goes off somewhere in the base, and Kallus groans. He’s not afraid of the torture promised by the Imperial captain who visited him earlier, neither he’s of dying. To have lost the opportunity to say “I love you” to Garazeb one more time before dying doesn’t desolate him as much. He’s petrified of what the commotion means. There’s no way for him to be certain, and yet, his instinct tells him that the Spectres are committing the great stupidity of rescuing him. He just knows is them. Nobody else would risk their lives to save him.

He ordered D4 to leave him behind and get away in the Glimmer with the information gathered in their clusterkriff’d mission. Kallus told him not to come back for him. Thanks to his programming, D4 is beyond sentimentalism and affection, which often get in the middle of what needs to be done. Kallus’ life is worth the sacrifice as long as the Rebellion gets what it needs to defeat the Empire. 

The sound of a blaster fight grows louder and louder. As best as he can, Kallus looks at the ray shield trapping him in the cell and the shadows beyond it, revealing the fight going on at the end of the hallway. He listens to a familiar growl followed by the distinct sound of a stormtrooper hitting a wall. He can see in his mind’s eye the powerful image that it’s Garazeb throwing troopers with ease.

His heart flutters with unbound love for his mate, coming for him, but at the same time, dread makes his stomach roll nauseatingly. Zeb is walking into a trap. He won’t be able to free Kallus and will die trying. The thought is far worse torture than any of that his captors have planned for him. Kallus can’t bear the idea of being once again the Empire’s tool to hurt Garazeb.

I worked in the library in college, so I have a certain soft spot for fics where Adam works in the campus library. I also have a soft spot for fics where Ronan finds Chainsaw and learns how to take care of a baby raven.

Smash those two things together, give it a punny title, and you get this week's rec, Check You Out by themidnightbagel. Ronan comes into the campus library looking for information on what to do with an injured Chainsaw, and Adam gets a lot more than he intended when he agrees to help this hot guy figure out how to raise a raven. It's a meet-cute tossed together with some smut, and it's an all-around fun time for everyone.

Give it a read, leave a kudo, leave a comment. Show the writer some love. 💕

It's Fic Back Friday and I'm still in my Supernatural mood so today I'm recommending another Midam fic - Archangel On The Rise by AugustStories, a fucking brilliant piece of writing in which it turns out taking away the only friend an Archangel has had for over a thousand years does not end well for the person who did it (AKA the glorious wrath of Michael for over 7k words and I am living for it)

I'm also recommending Children of Purgatory by Hekate1308, a series which focuses on Dean's daughter Emma, and started out as a character study of her while she was in Purgatory, and how she meets, saves, and befriends Madison and they both end up helping out the friendly monsters whilst they're there, and I don't want to spoil too much but it's really well written and Emma and Madison's friendship is everything, as is her relationship with her father when they meet up again. There's a lot of emotional hurt/comfort in this series, but the heartwarming moments make it all worth it.

floor nineteen

As a window washer Gendry was used to people looking right through him. He never expected any of the people behind the glass to actually notice him, let alone interact with him. Especially not someone like her.

Gendry almost felt bad for the woman behind the glass as he tapped the square he wanted and she drew a big O in it with a dry erase marker. She was trying to do something nice (and it was nice, Gendry’s face hurt from smiling already) and she had no idea how quickly she was about to lose. Gendry had lots of secret talents but the not so secret one that this woman didn’t know was that Gendry had never lost a single game of tic-tac-toe.

It was a quick game as they always were and she lost gracefully, mimicking giving him a handshake through the glass. Gendry laughed and echoed her motion before getting back to his job and cleaning the glass. He noticed as he left that while the woman wiped off the marker on her window, she left the tape up.

Going to rec a few. I know it's still early in the month, but they're going to be holiday-themed. A word of caution - some are not fluffy.

Huge black paws smacked the window, followed by a fuzzy face smooshing up against it.

He scrambled over the gear shift, tipping into the passenger seat. Bear, he thought hysterically. It had to be a bear, a freaking bear.

A big pink tongue rolled out, lips pulling back as the creature panted.

The Edge of What Doesn’t End by populuxe (Cherik, T, 20k)

When a mysterious object appears on the moon, Moira MacTaggert calls in two experts with very specific mutations to investigate.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, after years of breaking up and getting back together again, those two experts have finally broken up for good—and they’re the last people in the world who should be stuck together on a spaceship.

-----

I'm fairly certain this was my introduction to the incredible writing by @x-populuxe and it remains one of my favorites! Exes in love is my #1 go-to trope always, and this fic delivers that push/pull, love/hate dynamic in spades! Also THEY'RE ALONE AND LOST IN SPACE!!! It's amazing and I can not recommend it enough. It's an absolute crime that it doesn't have more views/kudos, especially in a fandom that adores their powered aus. Go read it ASAP :D :D :D

Fake dating? 🔥 Fake dating and reality TV? 🔥🔥 Fake dating, reality TV, and two guys who are dumb of ass and in love? 🔥🔥🔥

The other day, a friend and I were talking about With Abandon or Not At All by @tinyarmedtrex and I knew it had to be my Fic Back Friday rec this week, because it has all of the above and so much more.

Ronan is selected to compete on a cooking show, and to enhance his experience (and the experience of the audience), the show suggests he bring his partner along. The problem is, Ronan doesn't have a partner, but he does have a best friend he can fake date.

Enter Adam.

Hilarity and a bit of sweetness and softness ensue as filming and the competition progress, including Adam getting a lot more involved in the competition than initially planned and some wonderful in vino veritas. But in the end, these idiots work things out and they get their happily ever after. 😌

Give it a read, leave a kudo, leave a comment. Show the writer some love. 💕
