[dearestpaladin]

The shift happens so quickly; one moment Mike’s contemplating whether or not ghosts can sense intoxication and if so, are they judgmental about it or do they just miss whatever rotgut swill that they had to turn to in order to get a buzz? And the next, all he can think is touch me, touch me, touch me.

Got a feeling that I'm going under by cyclogenesis (addictedkitten) ok i'm cheating this one has magic. but it's in the same vein

[cyclogenesis]

i feel like you'd write shibari/rope bunny mike So well - like funny thoughts and speech, and out of the blue tears-to-eyes emotional lines, and ofc awesome chemistry. is that something you'd be interested in writing?

Aw anon, thank you for your confidence in me! That's not my particular kink (at least not enough to write a story about it), although the mental image is fabulous, I will give you that. I wonder if somebody would do some fanart along those lines...

Hii

So…for the sleepover questions:

Thoughts on Byclair?

Also, if you could be so kind so as to recommend some Byler fics? I’m running out of new ones to read :(

(Also, also: not a question, but a comment. I love your fic ideas so much! They absolutely get the plot bunnies running! (Sadly, I can’t finish writing a fic to save my life…)

thanks for the ask anon!!

sadly i am not much of a byclair girly. i have absolutely nothing against it, as lucas sinclair is Ultimate Boyfriend Material and im pretty sure could make everyone and anyone happy and in theory i totally ship it! but in practice i don’t really end up engaging with byclair content :(

Finn Wolfhard dropping a box of Froot Loops in the Behind the Scenes video for Sonora 

[sambambucky]

omfg wym youre a sambuckie but didnt consider their post catws and cacw potential...!? oh... the movies came out ~10 years ago...?

[sambambucky]

anyway, some recs below. and yes I am looking for more!!!!!!

Missing Scene by cyclogenesis (23k, Explicit, Angst with a Happy Ending, Canon Compliant, Missing Scenes, Happily Ever After, POV Sam Wilson, Anal Sex, Blowjobs, Jokes)

In which Sam finds Bucky before the events of Civil War, and what they do in Paris has a profound effect on how the next several years of their lives go. Written as a companion story to the films and the series, canon compliant with a whole lot of secret feelings.

we could jump the state lines (we only get the one life) by notcaycepollard (33.5k Explicit, Slow Burn, Pining, Mutual Pining, Angst, Recovery, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD)

It starts in Paris. “You can’t steal things just because you like them,” Sam tells Bucky, feeling innately that this is a losing battle, and Bucky cocks his head to the side, considers Sam very thoughtfully. “Really,” he says. “I’m stealing you, aren’t I?”

to be alive by napricot (113.7k Explicit, Recreational Drug Use, Secret Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Tender Railing, Bucky Barnes Recovering, Sam Wilson Recovering, Implied/Referenced Sexual Assault, POV Sam Wilson)

A year after the helicarriers go down, Sam finds not the Winter Soldier, but Bucky Barnes, who's trying his best to live and not just survive while on the run. Sam finds him and keeps finding him, and eventually, Sam finds himself too. An alternate take on canon where Sam and Bucky have been secretly meeting up since after CATWS.

would you come out and die for me by anthemofourlives (28.6k Mature, POV Sam Wilson, Hurt/Comfort, Sharing a Bed (eventually), On the Run)

“What were you thinking?” Reluctantly, Sam opened his eyes again, seeing that Bucky was sitting still as anything by his side, looking at his face as if he was searching for something. “That’s a damn good question.”

I swear to god that I was thinking about the summer by suzukiblu (3.9k Explicit, Awkward Sexual Situations, Healing, Touch-Starved, Hand Jobs, Frotting, PWP)

“Goddammit,” Barnes says, grimacing. “You were supposed to be the easy target.” “Yeah, no, he’s three doors down,” Sam replies wryly, jerking his head towards the door. “But it’s not a trick question, man, I’m just asking what you want.” “Sex,” Barnes says. “Yes,” Sam says, expression dry. “I was here for that part of the conversation.”

take me to your river, i wanna go🔒by atlantablack (4k Teen And Up Audiences, Canon-Typical Violence, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Trauma, Healing, Bucky Barnes-centric, Getting Together)

Bucky Barnes is a dead man’s shadow that comes back to him in waves. In the weeks that follow D.C. and the first wave breaking across the shore, he thinks to himself that he should run as far from the ocean as he can get. He doesn’t want to drown, is only just beginning to surface, but it’s been so long since he was allowed to want anything at all. He thinks, I should run, but instead, he lets the rip currents drag him where they will and finds his feet haunting Brooklyn cobblestones once again.

Seek Out the Hidden Places by Dira Sudis (dsudis) (31k Explicit, Polyamory, Bucky Barnes Has Issues, Dating, secondary trauma)

Today, on this morning, while Sam stood here in his PJs, his boyfriend Captain America was in his kitchen eating yogurt, and Sam had to figure out how to tell him that he'd kind of arguably cheated on him with the Winter Soldier who was also, incidentally, Bucky Barnes, the other half of the thus-far-tragic love story of Steve Rogers' epic life.

PEACE love and comment on them hos ♥‪‪

[sunny--baudelairs]

Finn Wolfhard came over for dinner.

[upanddowntheyrenodding]

bottom!Mike Wheeler fic rec part 2!!

More of my fave b!Mike fics:D

Here's part 1

Say woof by meowyster

Max gets Mike dog ears and a collar for a halloween costume exchange and that's possibly the most embarrassing thing ever. But then Will seems to like it and maybe it's not so bad anymore.

Bark for me, baby by meowyster

Part two of Say Woof and god fuck I love it even more. Same premise, established byler and Mike is a bit shy about how much he misses the collar. Thank god their anniversary is coming up and Will has the perfect gift. (They're implied verse and the author said there might be part three coming where Will bottoms)

Relaxation 101 by meowyster

Not b!Mike but just Mike with an oral fixation and the only way he can destress is by sucking Will's dick, apparently. Wanted to add this cuz it still focuses on Mike and it's also soo well written.

I want you to destroy me so I'll feel better by sieladonna

Read the tags. Mike wakes up horny and full of his boyfriend's dick. He makes a terrible decision.

SuckerPunch by bylerific

Will wins a lifetime's supply of lollipops and his best friend just cannot stop staring at his mouth. He's done with Mike beating around the bush, so things escalade the moment Will decides to take matters into his own hands (or mouth). Verse/switch byler but mostly bottom/sub Mike.

From the inside by emotionalhyperbole

Author: I'm a big boy and the idea of skinny boy belly bulges turns me on.

Need I say more? lol

Byler sexy times series by lifeinecstasy

I needed to add the whole series cuz it's soo good. There's no proper summary besides that some are established Byler, there's a bit of femme Mike and also uhh (reads notes) a magic fleshlight??

Lord save me (my own heaven)

Mike sucks Will off in a music venue bathroom. He's conflicted the whole time, but has never wanted anything more in his life. Will comforts and praises him, and it's all so tender, my heart weeps.

Homecoming by tempereta

Mike shows up at Will's out of nowhere after leaving Hawkins and cutting contact for a year. But Will somehow always knew that he'd come back. Very gentle and very bittersweet.

Tamed by tempereta

Will finds a porno magazine by accident and when he shows it to Mike, he starts getting ideas. I loooooove soft dom Will and he's such a dork in this one.

Like a dog by cyclogenesis (addictedkitten)

When Will gets into NYU Mike impulsively applies too and gets accepted as well. And now they are roommates yay! nothing like a bit of casual alcoholism and unspoken words!! Drink every time Mike is compared to a dog.

The tattoo artist and the florist by velvetpug

Title says it all. Florist Mike moves to Philly to be closer to Will and suddenly he has an interest in getting tattooed by none other than his childhood best friend. Very plot heavy and this is such a good take on the trope. Inspired by @/kidovna 's art

[eeywah]

[eeywah]

it may not always be so (alex/ryan/brendon threeway lol) by cloviswest

Undercover As A Couple Masterlist

all you’re giving me is fiction (ao3) - sten06 kate/yelena M, 42k

Summary: Kate is Avenger-Adjacent, already taking up the new Hawkeye mantel when Yelena tracks her down for help with a mission (not before doing COPIOUS amounts of research on her, of course). When Kate realizes its Wilson Fisk they’re going after, and his connection to her mother, she has a ridiculously wild idea for how they should go undercover — as girlfriends, naturally.

(Also: Natasha is alive and giving all the sisterly advice. She’s off-world with Captain Marvel, because I say so.)

Summary: When SHIELD gets intel that an arms dealer might soon be receiving Chitauri technology, Fury sends Clint and Coulson undercover to establish surveillance, ingratiate themselves with the arms dealer and his right hand man, and possibly intercept the sale. The catch? The arms dealer and his lieutenant are apparently posing as a couple, which means the best way for Clint and Coulson to get close is to pose as a couple, too. The longer the op goes on, the more Clint wonders which relationship is more real.

Plausible Deniability (ao3) - nowalee steve/tony T, 16k

Summary: Tony and Steve broke up a month ago. Now, Tony is back because Fury wants him for an undercover mission. Only catch? Steve has to go with him, because the public doesn’t know they broke up yet. It’s a perfect cover.
