ten hudcon fics for a spring day

part 2 to this reclist. I hope everyone enjoys these gems as much as I did, doesn’t look like I’m going anywhere 🚬 most works are e-rated as god intended, you’re welcome

🏒 soft spot by ribena (1.3k)

or; moments from the press tour through the eyes of connor storrie, professional yearner.

🏒 monkey business by @the-invisibility-bloke (4k)

It's getting harder not to kiss him in public.

🏒 grin and bear it by @eleadore (4k)

Connor hadn't touched him in a minute. This was a problem.

🏒 second nature by ribena (5k)

“i get it, though,” connor says, after. quieter, trying to reassure. “you might be the only one who does,” hudson yawns into his armpit, and then goes still, and then begins snoring obnoxiously.

🏒 YKA / YYZ / LAX / YTM by @skysomedays (5k)

“Stop begging me to fuck you. It’s unbecoming.”

🏒 need grows teeth by @garagepaperback (5k)

or: Connor's feeling extra. Hudson isn't helping.

🏒 rushes by laundry (6k)

“I didn’t have a lot of winters,” Connor says, “before you.”

🏒 to feel you, invented by @sexcromancy (7k)

Hudson wants Jacob to trust him. He wants Connor to trust him. He wants this whole set to trust him. He thinks they do. But they’re going to have to take him reckless, because that’s the only way he knows to play the game.

🏒 Cacciatore by @theburialofstrawberries (au, 7k)

Hudson Corleone's rise to capo dei capi, the most powerful crime boss in all of New York, as seen through Peter Clemenza's eyes.

🏒 Connie Baby series by @hudconfetti (au, 20k)

Hudson visits West Hollywood for a few days and runs into Connor by chance.

[jeaniefranklins]

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

[the-invisibility-bloke]

if you could read one fic and only one fic until you die which one would it be

(okay top 3)

[greattemptation]

Okay big talk. Let's see your answer (s).

[the-invisibility-bloke]

hadn’t thought that far ahead, slut. FINE in chronological order of me loving them:

- no happy memories by amanuensis (first sirry, possibly second? so far no one has been able to recover the first one i remember reading, a jilly lives AU where harry was 12 and sirius lived in a cabin on their property and there was slutty lemonade and bday sex. anyway)

- far too near by @knotsnuffles, the masterclass in sexual tension

- bloom by my dearest @lqtraintracks, hottest blowjob of all time and my headfirst fall into heddy

idek if I’ve ever actually left comments bc these have stolen my breath every time. i will one day i swear

[sitp-recs]

Short: Still Life (orphaned)

Medium-size: The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by lettered

Longfic: Far From the Tree by aideomai

[sitp-recs]

i know you're in your hollanov era but i have got to rec newscotlandyard's drarry stuff over on a03, it is criminally underrated and i need other people yelling over it too

Hello hello! 👋

Thanks anon, tbh I haven’t been reading a lot in general (not even Hollanov) but you’re right, I’m going through my HR hyper fixation era and it’s been such a chaotic experience I barely have the time or energy to (re)connect with other fandoms atm. But I appreciate you thinking of my blog as a good place to spread love for a new author ❤️

Thanks for the rec, I’m not familiar with their work but happy to link their ao3 below:

https://archiveofourown.org/users/newscotlandyard/pseuds/newscotlandyard/works

[onemadeofglass]

twelve hudcon fics for a snowy day

yeah, I know.

i had promised myself i wouldn’t go there 😔 but i’m afraid the nye lore got to me 😔 so i’ve been dipping my toes into the hudcon waters as a way to cope with this neverending winter full of snowy spring days. i’m not reading hollanov as much (mainly bc i’ve got everything i needed from the show) so no additional recs on the pipeline, but it’s been nice to engage casually with rpf again!

it’s been ages since i last did a reclist, i’m feeling a little out of practice but i thought it would be fun to share these quick treats for those indulging in this absolutely unhinged, cocaine-level ship like me. all works are e-rated as god intended :)

🏒 Carterhaugh, Ontario by Charlotte_Stant (2k)

Connor resumed petting Hudson’s hair, fingers sliding around the curve of his ear. “Does this approach usually work for you?”

🏒 buttercup buttercup by @eleadore (2k)

"How come we never fool around?"

"I don't want to," Connor says. The frown clears.

🏒 call me peaches by @eleadore (2.5k)

Aren't you here with someone? Connor thought about asking. Stop being so clingy, Hudson. I saw you two days ago. Back up, please. We're not doing the double act anymore, remember? This is my corner, go find your own. Look, over there, isn't that Yorgos, just waiting for you to notice him?

🏒 for the sake of auld lang syne by twnkwlf (4k)

Vancouver feels easy.

🏒 all hail west texas by @garagepaperback (5k)

Connor's feeling small. Hudson helps.

🏒 director's cut by amongtheshallows (7k)

Connor's short on rent, again.

🏒 like the way you kiss me (I can tell you miss me). by blafard (8k)

He laughs. Then he loops an arm around Hudson's shoulders and guides him to a car a decade past its prime. "You like 'em clingy, don't you, Williams?"

"That I do."

Connor doesn't pretend to be surprised.

🏒 almost like i mean it by @ambiguityenjoyer (10k) - hudconcois

Thirty minutes and two glasses of wine into Dog Day Afternoon, Hudson was studiously avoiding the sound of Francois’ mouth against Connor’s neck. He wondered if he’d made a mistake.

🏒 can't swim but i still dive by magazinesoap (11k)

Hudson finally decides to bite the bullet now—here, in the corner of a too-loud gay bar that smells like heavily poured vodka sodas and perspiration—and ask the question no interviewer had yet dared to.

🏒 Neutral Zone by @the-invisibility-bloke (wip)

It might’ve started when Jacob said get to know each other and Connor cocked his cocky head, flared his crocodile smile and said, “Like, biblically?”

🏒 friends maybe not by @hazmesentir (series)

Connor's single. Hudson is not. They're just really normal friends about it.

🏒 topography of us by wittysoup (series)

or the one where they meet before and after everything.

[sitp-recs]

I discovered Running on Air through your blog/recs. So I think you enjoyed it?

If you did and and the Heated Rivalry madness has hit you, too, may I humbly suggest the texture of memory (https://archiveofourown.org/works/78428521) for your TBR?

Twas breathtaking...

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply, I haven’t checked this blog in a while. Thank you for the rec, it looks great especially with the RoA vibes! Linking it here in case anyone’s interested.

I was definitely hit by the HR madness, I mean who hasn’t??? Been posting about it on my main but tbh I haven’t read much, the show (and books) gave me so much that I rarely feel the urge to read fic but maybe that will change as we wait for s2. I saw that ao3 was down for the better part of two days so I hope things get stabilized soon!! Thanks again for reaching out, I appreciate it 💜

[noah-wyles]

return soon, beloved

[the-invisibility-bloke]

Neutral Zone | Hudson/Connor | E

It might’ve started when Jacob said get to know each other and Connor cocked his cocky head, flared his crocodile smile and said, “Like, biblically?” Or: What the hell are professional boundaries when you're doing OnlyFans On Ice?

I caved.

Tell Him Where to Put It

Hollanov ~ E ~ 7.8k ~ temporary gender swap Ilya ~ look it's magic ok it doesn't need an explanation

“Yeah, well, they’re not even such great tits, as far as I can see.” Hollander laughs, only small but Ilya thinks maybe genuine. “I can’t believe I was going to offer to—”

On AO3 here

[burins]

saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!

[onemadeofglass]

what a fucking night, watching our HR boys ascend into hollywood sweethearts, and brazil winning 2 (two) golden globes with the secret agent!!! I’ve never won so much. life is good 🙌

[sitp-recs]

HR has been an incredible yet all-consuming experience since day 1 and I was a bit cautious about going back to ao3 after such a long hiatus, but I have to say it’s been SO refreshing to read fic at my own pace without the pressure to consume everything that’s out there or to post recs. I’m grateful for the show’s popularity because for the first time ever I have a group of irl friends and coworkers with whom I can obsess over it, which makes the digital fandom experience way more balanced and less overwhelming. what a time to be alive 🙌

[sitp-recs]

Tag 9 people you want to know better

thank you @tackytigerfic for tagging me 25 years ago lmao tagging anyone who wants to join, go for it!

reading: I’ve been on a break for the past couple weeks, my December was hectic af and I’ve read SO MUCH in 2025 (I’m proud to announce I’ve completed my reading challenge of 100 books!) so I’m just taking it easy atm and it feels great. that being said, my last reads were: Beartown by Fredrik Backman, Flesh by David Szalay and O Avesso da Pele by Jeferson Tenório. the first one wasn’t really my jam but the other 2 are excellent!

last song: Sonate Pacifique by L’Impératrice

last film: Knives Out 3

last series: Reheated Rivalry what else??? (been losing my mind on my main @onemadeofglass)

sweet or salty: salty always!

coffee or tea: both but I rely on coffee more often

working on: not getting insane between my hyper fixation on HR and planning 2 extremely stress-inducing work trips 🥲 I’d love to plan some more recs for my bookish blog but I don’t think I’ll have the chance until early March *sigh*

[urie]

the most beautiful part about the way heated rivalry has truly healed this website is that im seeing god tier level posting from people with urls that span across dozens of fandoms... we've got the spn and the tjlc and the real hockey rpfers and the iwtv and hannibal sufferers.... im seeing old bandom urls i havent seen in years.... the directioners and the beatles rpfers... the swifties and the stuckies... everyone in harmony <3

[onemadeofglass]

“Is ok?" Rozanov asked, kissing Shane's chest, his nipple, burying his face in Shane's armpit.

Shane hummed his assent. Yes. It was always yes, whatever Rozanov wanted. It was good, always so good with him.
