Teen Wolf | Sterek | Mpreg, body transformation, magic | 19k+ words

Mpreg isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is mine. I love when it’s well written, which this one is and not only is it well written...it’s super adorable too! Teacher Derek’s little students making it so that he and his boyfriend Deputy Stiles can have a baby is so sweet. A delightful treat of a fic!

You've Got Electronic Letters: The Unholy Correspondence of Nandor the Relentless, Guillermo de la Cruz and Other Miscellaneous Dark Creatures  - (tumblr unknown)

What We Do In The Shadows | Nandor & Guillermo | Humour, first meetings | 2k+words

A little break from my usual shippy fare here, but this fic is such a fun read and has captured the essence of the characters so well that I couldn’t not share it!

Spartacus | Nagron | College AU, enemies to friends to lovers | 101k+ words

Familiarity with the source has never been a big issue for me when it comes to fic. I’ll often find something I end up loving by diving into a plot tag, or, as in this case, having it recommended to me. 

To my mind, it’s the mark of a good well-written story if you can pull me in when I’ve no idea about canon. I’ve never seen more than 5 minutes of Spartacus, but I absolutely fell in love with Nasir & Agron after my dear @captainbigdickmoxley​ sent this delight my way. Hopefully someone else might enjoy the same gift!

AEW | Trent/Chuck | Developing relationship, fake marriage | 2k+ words

I am endlessly charmed by the varying ways the wrestling fandom write the antics of this pair, and I particularly love this one. The idea that Chuck & Trent would wed as a prank only to have an italic oh moment somehow just works!

he was a skater boy, he said—no, you know what, no, we're not calling it that - @arahir

SK8 the Infinity | Renga | Pining, didn’t know they were dating | 8K+ words

I love this trope just as much as fake dating, and this fic is a most excellent example. Completely oblivious and distressed Reki & teasing, but actually just as daft Langa are written in such an adorable way here - so sweet & just perfect for each other!

In Want of a Wife - @creativityobsessed

Cherry Magic | Urable/OC | Asexuality | 11k+ words

I’m not usually one to get into fics tagged with OCs in the main pairing, but I will happily make this an exception. It takes the idea that perhaps Urabe knows more than he’s letting on about the urban legend and runs with it in the most delightful and well fleshed out way. Absolutely worth checking out!

Cosmopolitan Presents Tips to Drive Him Wild - (@midcarder)

Pro Wrestling | Chuck Taylor/Trent | Established relationship, maid costume | 4k+ words

I am a long time fan of this author & I was overjoyed to find that they had applied their wonderful talent to this pair of charming idiots.

It’s a fun delicious snack of a fic, but one that crams in a lot of well executed character. If you’ve ever had the good fortune to see this pair and their interactions, you’ll love this one.

Dear Someone  ( @creativityobsessed )

Cherry Magic | Kurodachi | Love confessions, penpals, pre-canon | 19k+ words

Cherry Magic brought a great deal of joy to my life ( if you haven’t seen the show yet, please do yourself a favour and watch it ) and this fic is a wonderful addition to that joy. 

I love the premise of the mysterious secret admirer ( nudge nudge wink wink)  leaving notes for Adachi and the way it’s so well woven in with the characters and plot that we know and love. Highly recommend.
