(Mostly) Slash Fiction Recs

An Archive of my Bookmarks because there are way to many of them. I tag them by fandom, pairing, and word count, as well as a star system for how much I recommend them. They range from one (I don't know why I bookmarked this but apparently I liked it) to ten (I reread this whenever I come across it and love it dearly).

Author: plutos Fandom: Star wars, the force Awakens Pairing: poe/Finn Summary: “I gotta talk to you, buddy, real quick,” Poe says lowly, and grabs Finn’s hand to haul him back out of the mess hall. His pilot friends cheer loudly, Karé yelling something about keeping it decent, and Finn barely has a second to process it before Poe’s yanking him away and into a deserted side corridor. “I can explain,” he says quickly, running his spare hand through his hair. “Well good,” Finn snaps hotly, “Because I’ve had a really fucking weird day.” _____________________________ Otherwise known as: Finn Is An Oblivious Numbskull, or: the one where Finn gets a name, a jacket, a droid, and a marriage out of nowhere in only a few short weeks My Comments: Finn is trying to learn to be a person, and make decisions, and have a purpose in life. Poe is trying to be a friend, and support, and help the best he can. Also, Finn wears Poe's clothes, spends all his free time with him, and when he's asked to come up with a surname, gives Finn Dameron as his name. Aka everyone is slowly fooled into thinking these two dumbasses are married. Also features adorable Finn and Poe, adorable baby bots, and generally everything is cute as fuck.

Author: matchsticks_p Fandom: How to Get Away With Murder Pairing: Connor/Oliver Summary: A ten-thousand word office AU, written for the prompt "Connor really does work at the bank across the street and his idiot coworker, Asher, keeps getting viruses on their computer by downloading porn. Eventually, the bank borrows some IT guys from the advertizing firm across the street, including Oliver. Connor tries to ask Oliver out, but Oliver mistakenly thinks Connor is straight (because of Asher's porn). So, Connor starts infecting the office computers with more viruses to get another excuse to talk to Oliver and try again." It isn't exactly like that, but it sort of is exactly like that. My Comments: It's amazing how their canonical "affectionate super cute but uncertain of their place with each other" relationship transfers over to this fic. Oliver is still a shy cutie and Connor is emotionally retarded. That is all.

Fandom: How to Get Away With Murder

Pairing: Laurel/Michaela

Summary: “She’s only sixteen, but she knows that her father is never going to let her marry this girl, if by some sort of miracle they meet and actually fall in love. Laurel knows it’s rare that matches don’t fall in love, but she wouldn’t put it past this girl to take one look at her family and run away in the opposite direction.” Laurel/Michaela soulmate AU.

My Comments: I don’t usually read femmeslash but soulmate aus are my jam. This one is of the “you are born with the name of your soulmate on your wrist” variety. It’s an interesting take on “just because we’re soulmates doesn’t mean we have to be in a relationship” in that it uses its length to its full potential, showing the slow grow of their regard for each other. Even when it comes time for a relationship the author doesn’t go for the easy “suddenly I realize you are the sun and stars” fall in love routine. Their relationship has a realistic progress that turns naturally into romantic feelings. I dunno guys I just really really believed this relationship.

Author: race_the_ace Fandom: Teen wolf Pairing: no main pairing, though has derek/jennifer. (Focuses on familiar relationship between Derek and Stiles) Summary: Stiles is homeless after deciding he’s tired of the foster system. He runs until the money runs out and he ends up in Beacon Hills. One day he finds Derek Hale bleeding in the woods and stops to help. After that, things change. WARNING: MENTIONS PAST ABUSE (PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL) (OF MINORS) Nothing is mentioned in detail, but if it triggers you please be careful. My Comments: Platonic soulmates is like A+ 100% the best thing to ever happen, and this fic demonstrates why. (I swear most of my bookmarks ARE slash I swear). Stiles is a foster kid on the run after being abused in the system after his father died. He ends up in Beacon Hills where the Hale family takes an interest in him. ALIVE HALE FAMILY BITCHES. Basically damaged Stiles and damaged Derek become the support they each need to begin healing. It's so heart warming and Derek is a baker and his growth into a relationship with Jennifer after being abused by Kate is like if I could post that thumbs up and 100 emoji meme right here I would.

Author: leupagus

Fandom: Star Wars, The Force Awakens

Pairing: none (one of the few non pairing fics I’ll ever rec honestly)

Summary: Poe dreams of a blue-green tree.

My Comments: This fic is the prequel to the Force Awakens that we all deserve. It follows Pe Dameron from childhood to adulthood by documenting the times in his life that he has encountered Luke Skywalker. From baby him with a huge crush on Luke to adult him just after the attack on the Jedi school we get the story of Poe’s life, and through him a view of the other characters and the Resistance setting the scene for the movie.

“Luke says, “I understand you’ve been taking very good care of this tree.”

Poe wonders if this man is named after Luke Skywalker. He pulls himself up again and says, “Mama said it’s mine, and you have to take care of your things especially if they’re alive because if you don’t they can die.” It was a scary thing to find out, and maybe Luke doesn’t know about it yet, because he looks surprised when Poe tells him. He doesn’t seem very old — not nearly so old as Mama and Pops. And Mama and Pops have to tell him stuff all the time so he doesn’t forget, like about taking care of the tree or washing his hands after he uses the bathroom. Maybe Luke doesn’t have a mom or dad to tell him things like that.”

Ultimately an amazingly well written character study/background piece that I just had to save.

Fandom: Harry Potter, Marauders Era

Pairing: Wolfstar

Summary:AU in which Remus, being as he is a werewolf and all, is homeschooled til he is 16.

Hogwarts is something of an experience, not least because there’s this boy called Sirius Black.

My Comments: Holy crap. There is no hiding that one of my biggest relationship weaknesses is when someone is smitten at forst sight. And boys and girls Remus takes one look at Sirius and just -

He rounds the corner and stops. Dead.

Not alive but very dead.

Because Sweet Merlin, Remus didn’t think guys that beautiful existed outside of the black and white Muggle movies he likes to watch on his dad’s VCR.

Or existed outside his imagination, frankly.

-or baby homeschooled Remus is immediately smitten with school idol Sirius Black. The boys are trouble as always, Remus is as secretive and dramatic as always, and there’s a lot of snogging and confused emotions. It’s adorable kiddos. Just adorbs.

bewitched, bothered, and bewildered 

by Archetype_ElectraHeart

Darcy tossed her hair over her shoulder and arched a single brow. “I never said anything about hurting you. But I could certainly make it so that you always step in a wet spot after putting on clean socks.”

The boys blinked at her, gobsmacked, before Steve barked out a laugh and Bucky shook his head at her. “That is diabolical, Darce.”

She winked at them. “And I have a whole composition notebook of mundane curses I have just been dying to try.” She pointed at both of them, eyes narrowed. “So don’t test me.”

Sighing, Stiles reaches for Derek’s big hands, cradled in his broad lap, his skin lighting up even more at Derek’s touch. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, preparing himself to look for Derek’s soulmate. Whoever you are, he thinks, you better be worth him.

Unspoiled

Unspoiled

(complete)

By: forthright (dokuga)

Fandom: Inuyasha

Pairing: SessKag

Summary: CU. Something goes awry during a trip through the Well, and Kagome is stranded in the distant past, where she encounters a familiar face. When a very young Sesshoumaru decides to keep her, the consequences ripple through time. A serial tale told in bits and pieces. Romance takes the scenic route. COMPLETE.

My Comments: The well goes awry and Kagome meets a young Sesshomaru, who adopts her the way other people might adopt stray dogs. THIS IS SO CUTE. It's written as a consecutive series of one shots. You get to watch Sesshomaru through much of his childhood, as he learns skills he uses in the future, and eventually Inuyasha and the other's realize something's gone wrong and you get to see future Sesshomaru's view of what happened! Words cannot describe how much I love watching all the components of this story come together. The fluff is an added bonus (Ah-Uhn's backstory, gaaaah).

Fangs of the Father

Fangs of the Father

(Complete: with sequel: Miko and Mate, which is in progress and a crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho!)

By: Umei no Mai (ff.net)

Fandom: Inuyasha

Pairing: Kagome/ Inu no Taisho

Summary: Kagome had been attuned to youkai blades from the very beginning. That the blades formed from the Dog General's fangs took a fancy to her was likely a product of the deceased Inutaisho's unusual fondness for human females: What a daiyoukai wants, he gets.

My Comments: Super cool take on the fang swords, and very realistic progress as far as the pace of the story goes. It is written in drabble form, which can take a bit to get used to, but it's totally worth it. This is possibly my favorite Inuyasha fic (next to another that I'm gonna rec next), and I just can't get over how awesome it is.

Basically the swords each contain a shadow of Inu no Taisho, and Kagome can see them due to her miko powers. This gives little advantage except that she can see attacks and such easier, until the portal to the underworld is opened and Inu no Taisho is released, and ends up bound to her. Kagome learns to be badass (with work! not just I picked up a sword and am a complete natural), while maintaining her gentle heart (which isn't over exaggerated like fanfiction likes to do. 

If you have any interest in Inuyasha tics (or even if you don't ;D) read this!

Factoring Out Binomials

Factoring Out Binomials

(series)

By: GoddessofBirth

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Pairing: Stiles/Isaac

Summary: (from the first fic) The first time Stiles kisses Isaac, neither one of them expects it. In which the battle of stalker vs. stalkee has an unintended outcome.

My Comments: DO NOT LET THE SHORT SUMMARY FOOL YOU. THIS IS CHARACTER HEAVY SHIT RIGHT HERE. Basically the story reads: what if Isaac actually had issues from his abuse? And what if Stiles and he have to work through those issues to make their relationship work? Not that there isn't porn, but while there is a bit of extra plot the majority of the stories go towards forming their relationship, and they how they have to deal to keep it up. THERE'S A WHOLE FIC DEDICATED TO THEM IN COLLEGE. And there's awesome Sheriff Stilinski and amazingly cute relationship development and when they do the requisite 'MOMENT OF ANGST' it rips my heart out every time even though I know what's coming. 

The only thing that may throw you is that this is the first (if not only) fic I've read where Derek is a villain (kinda). Mostly he's just not a very nice person. Don't let that stop you from reading it though! I cannot recommend this enough!

Scent Marking for Dummies

Scent Marking for Dummies

(complete)

By: Hatteress (AO3)

Fandom: Teen Wolf

Pairing: Sterek

Summary: Stiles is almost used to being chased around the school by werewolves at this point. Having to share a bed with Derek freaking Hale, on the other hand, is just needlessly complicating his life.

My Comments: I've read twenty million sterek tics with the scent marking trope, but it rarely gets old. A (non-canonical, bc pre-season three) pack of Alphas comes to town, and to keep the pack human safe Derek lends out jackets, shirts, and much of his time to make sure that the alpha pack understand upon first smell that Stiles is firmly in no-touchy territory.

A.W.O.L.

A.W.O.L.

(complete, part one of a series)

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard

Summary: John went A.W.O.L. after a mission in Afghanistan. A few years later, a chance meeting with a certain Dr. Rodney McKay leads to nothing but trouble. And possibly redemption.

My Comments: SENTINEL GUIDE AU. I love this stupid trope. Basically John's a Sentinel on the run who saves Guide McKay and then gets sucked into the Stargate program. Eventually he has to convince McKay that he is worth Bonding to, despite the world's view of sentinels as second class citizens. (Though that is further in the series.)  Worth a read even if you are not in the fandom.

Summary: Iruka's quiet summer is suddenly full of children, animals, undead animals, summoned animals, traps, missions, dango, and really annoying jounin.

My Comments: The cutest kids ever, vicious animal ghosts, and everyone thinking they're dating but they're not. Not super involved, but it has some truly inspired moments.

Pairing: slight Jack/Sandy, but could be platonic

Summary: Centuries ago, in a dark and snowy forest, Sandy had met a dream of another's making. And Sandy, being Sandy, had decided he loved it and the spirit that made it both.

My Comments: Stunning visuals, great writing, and just wondrous overall.

By: thehoyden (AO3)

Fandom: Naruto

Summary: All things were not possible, it was true, but suddenly, Iruka knew that this was.

My Comments: Kakairu is possibly my one true OTP. Basically Iruka has a one night stand that doesn't seem to end, mixed with some spying and unadvised feelings.

By: Yuu_chi (AO3)

Pairing: Sokka/Zuko

Summary:

Sokka's the highschool drop-out and closet nerd working at his sister's coffee shop - Zuko is the gorgeous rich guy who comes in three times a week and orders cinnamon tea. Sokka may or may not have his entire schedule memorized. 

Thank god for Star Wars.

My Comments: This isn't usually my fandom, and reading the summary I thought it would end up super cliche, and it was a bit, but there's more of a sense of personality to Sokka than many coffee shop AUs manage with their POV character. All together good for one read through.
