I need a good playlist for getting tied up, rope people what kinda music do you use to set the tone?

[spirkme915]

a list of the spirk fics i've read in the last 10-ish days and loved:

And Then I Let It Go by kianspo (AOS) - post-beyond fic that slots in perfectly with the movie canon. it's steeped in want

master of a nothing place by strzyga (AOS) - reread, mind the tags, if spock going pre-reform is your thing then this fic is your thing

The Bond by WhatIfImaMermaid (AOS) - i got on a bond/pon farr/explicit/shorter fics kick and this one showed up in my search. not pon farr, but ALL bond. really unique writing style. spock has amnesia, jim doesn't want to tell them they're not married, it has the sweetest spock ever

Your heart's sudden but inevitable betrayal by WhatIfImaMermaid (AOS) - reading The Bond (see above) led me to this gem, cute, funny, jim pov that jumps off the page, short read that's just happy

A Father's Love by mutantleech (AOS) - listen, i'm going to have a lot more to say about this fic in the masterpost of recs i'm putting together, but i'll say here that this is hands down the most painful spirk fic i've ever read, and yet it has the happiness at the end that i crave, don't be turned off by the mpreg tag (seriously, i never read mpreg and this fic had me in the best of chokeholds)

The 1,000 Hour Sleep by spqr (SNW/TOS) - reread, super unique premise, FINALLY some snw spock, pike is the best, as is the entire crew of the enterprise, found family, hurt/comfort

Shakedown Cruise by Rhaegal (RhaegalKS) (TOS) - another spock amnesia fic lol, this one is so gentle and loving, all about falling in love again

All Our Yesterdays (the All or Nothing Remix) by dreamlittleyo (AOS/TOS) - an episode of TOS re-written for AOS, oblivious jim, oblivious spock, quick easy read (i really love the authors who make writing look so easy no matter how difficult it is, and this one does), mind the tags

These Hands, If Not Gods by greenforsnow @m-b-w (TOS) - the tags pretty much say everything, except that the term PWP is selling it short, there are so many FEELINGS, pon farr, plak tow, obliviousness and conniving abound (affectionately)

An Endless Stream of Tomorrows by remylebae @twinkboimler (TOS) - post voyage home fic, first kiss, jim can't wait any longer, so so sweet, old almost married spirk

Foundation by remusmoonshine @remusmoonshinezine (TOS) - an all fluff/no angst massage fic, no seriously, ALL FLUFF, if you need a pick me up this is the one

Reminder - PLEASE don't be shy. send me recs in ask or chat and feel free to self-promo! i read a lot and fast so i'm always looking for new stuff

(you can find previous recs under fic rec and/or spirk fic recs)

[durgas]

rec me anything enemies to lovers: books, fanfics, tv, movies please! (extra points if it's got a POC lead)

i'm in that kind of mood right now and i would kill for some new fandoms!

current fandoms: killing eve, asoiaf, got, the last kingdom, grishaverse (books only), medici, anything bollywood related (esp. jodhaa akbar-esque things)

[taikoturtle]

Ooh new idea. Give me some characters and I’ll practice my drawing with that “draw 6 characters” thingy I see floating around

Dancing in the Foothills, a playlist by Ryn on Spotify

A playlist featuring Molly Tuttle, S. Carey, Florence + The Machine, and others

New playlist for when you wanna go running barefoot into an empty field

[isagrimorie]

I really, really want a multi-chapter SGA adventure story with Sam Carter navigating and learning what it means to be Atlantis’s Expedition Military Commander.

[the-cheshire-cat-grin]

Sitting On The Back Porch While The Sun Sets, a playlist by Ryn on Spotify

A playlist featuring Duck Baker, Fleetwood Mac, Hozier, and others

Me, making more playlists instead of writing? yeah absolutely

[lushbliss]

I need to drown in some bittersweet fiction. Give me recs (books, movies, tv etc)

I'm talkin' Aftersun, Shoplifters, Once, Station 11, The History of Love. Doesn't have to be romantic just...quietly profound?

Please please send recs!

Bonus points if its queer 😘
