Happy Wednesday, everyone! Apologies for falling off the bike last week with this list - I had a weird one. But I’m back on the bike now, and I’m making up for the lack of list last week by going on a massive reblog spree for the rest of this week, so if you’re looking for things to read that will make you say WOW!” start with these three, and then stay tuned for more recs and reviews!
*as always, this list is ordered by length*
This Max Drabble by @cyantomatos
Max P x GN!Reader
October Writing Challenge
WC: ~500
Okay, first thing’s first: I typically don’t read a ton for Max P. Did I enjoy the movie? Yes, I laughed my ass off. Especially because when I first watched it, I worked in an office that was literally sucking my soul, so I found it v relatable. And would I let Max turn me or keep me as a pet or drain me as a snack in a heartbeat? You bet your bottom dollar I would. But I still don’t typically seek out fics for him - for no real reason, I’m realizing as I write this. This one though? This little drabble? It grabbed me by the throat and throttled my heart. This is certainly Max... but its Max like we’ve never seen him before, because its Max in the future, once he’s spent lifetimes living with someone who sees (and loves) him for who he is. Its a classic “love soothes the savage beast” but with a really beautiful and bittersweet twist that I don’t want to give away, but be prepared for this one to pull at your heartstrings. Yes, even though Max P is a four loko frat boy business student turned vampire boss. Trust me.
Hunter and Prey (part 1: The Girl With the Golden Eyes) by @mandosmistress
Din Djarin x F!Reader
Spooktober 🎃👻🦇
WC: 3k
OH BOY AM I STOKED ABOUT THIS ONE! Since this is the first part of a series, there’s some set up here, but it is fascinating. There’s absolutely great Din characterization. There’s an extremely intriguing Reader character. And there is hot fire when it comes to the chemistry between them. Because even though it’s just the beginning, there is still some intense smut here, and I for one can’t wait to see what happens when these two get their hands on one another again. And I can’t wait for him to learn who - and what - she is. I love it when Din is matched with someone who is just as capable and dangerous as he is, and that seems to be just what he’s dealing with here even if he doesn’t know it yet. Buckle in, Djarin, I think you’re in for a while ride (and I’m thrilled to get to take it, too!)
Stunt Double by @something-tofightfor
Dieter Bravo x F!Reader (Locked Down universe)
Kinktober - Sex Toys
WC: 8.3k
Aside from maybe a modern Oberyn, I cannot think of a character who would enjoy (and make the most of ) making their own “stunt double” more than Dieter Bravo. This man is such a sexual being. Yes, by now we all know that there is more to him - especially this version (Locked Down) of Dieter. But a large part of who he is is someone who is adventurous and open minded when it comes to sexual exploration. And now that he’s got a partner who he trusts completely and who knows him inside and out and who would never judge him and who has been there for him through ups and downs and who he is head over heels in love with? This man is ready to chart entirely new territory. I absolutely love that almost everything that happens between them, no matter if its serious or fun or simple, always boils down to the solidity of their relationship. The actual smut in this one? HOT AS FUCK. But I’m just as dazed and dizzied by reading about their love and how damn strong it is. The bonus of getting Dieter Nye the Science Guy with this one is the cherry on top. #Science. This was flipping great, and I will be reading it over and over just like the rest of LD.
🍁🎃🖤 Happy third Wednesday in October, everyone!! I hope everyone is enjoying spooky season and that you’re making time for fun fall things and nice cozy things and things that make the chilly nights a little warmer. And if you need some stories that will fit into those categories, here are three great places to start!
*as always, this list is ordered by length*
This Joel Miller ficlet by @oonajaeadira
Winktober - Lingerie
Joel Miller x Reader
WC : 217
No sneak here because I don’t want to spoil all the fun and it’s all wrapped up in six wonderful sentences anyway. Just take my word on this one, friends. Adira’s 😉tober ficlets have all been a ton of fun, but this one is easily one of my favorites. This is so Joel that I can hear the grumble and see the way his expression changes.
This Ezra Story by @cyantomatos
October Writing Challenge
Ezra x F!Reader
WC: 1.1k
The comparison of Ezra’s confidence levels before and after his time on The Green is heartbreaking. Even though it turns out he always had some doubts about himself (reading about the way he would hold Reader made me tear up and I made an audible sound), seeing the way they multiply and darken his thoughts after he gets back would hurt so much. But the way that Reader handles this situation is perfect, and it makes me so happy to know that he’s got someone who knows exactly how to pick him up when he’s low. Hopefully it eventually happens less and he can start to believe in his worth more, but for now I’m just glad these two have each other. This was lovely.
This Din Story by @in-for-a-pennyx
Kinktober - Leather & Handjobs
Din Djarin x F!Reader
WC: 1.3k
😳🥵🥴 this. was. HOT. Everything from the description of Reader’s outfit to the way Din reacted to seeing her dressed like that - and then everything else that happened - was all so vivid and clear and made this such an immersive read. Did my face get hot when I read this? You bet it did, and I had to take a deep breath when I was done, too. Ask for Din’s help, she thought. Little did she know which one of them would be helping which. I enjoyed the heck out of this, and if you love reading about the Tin Can Man being a little juuuuuust bit vulnerable (and very turned on), then you’ll love this one.
