Soul Deep, by icewhisper

He had exactly one picture of Alec and himself, a quick shot on his phone that he’d insisted on when they’d finally made it out for their first date. […]

He hung the picture on his wall beside a picture Isabelle had given him of Alec and Jace. That one was clearer, both boys smiling and with Jace’s arm slung over Alec’s shoulders. He kept them together in his own sign of respect, because even if he hadn’t particularly liked Jace much, he understood the bond between parabatai.

Mature, post-season 1. Death isn’t the end. I love Magnus in this.

The Third Sunday, by leupagus

“I may have liked you better when I thought you had no sense of humor at all,” she told him, but she allowed him to kiss her hand in apology.

Mature, post-canon. A lovely glimpse into Margaret and John’s bed… :)

Eros, by dnteverdoubtme & ourheartsbeatas1

“Allow me to put this in a way that I know you’ll understand,” he’d said. “Get it done, or I’ll have your parabatai held down and I’ll let the crew take turns with him. And I’ll make you watch.”

Adult, post-season 1, canon-divergent. Alec went with Jace, giving Valentine the perfect leverage.

to the sky without wings, by leupagus

Poe meets the first love of his life in the branches of his tree.

Adult, pre-TFOA. This fic is incredible! Seriously, I never even thought of Poe and Luke knowing each other, but now all I can think of is little Poe falling in love with Luke and how that ends up shaping him. A simply wonderful Poe characterization, with a lot of interesting insights into Luke and the others as well!

New fandom! I actually only started watching this show because the concept of parabatai intrigues me so much and Alec is my precious cinnamon roll. :) This isn’t a shippy vid per se, but I so very much do ship them. Soul bonds, best friends and brothers in arms, forbidden love - how can I resist? *g*

Scribble-Doodle: My Brother

drakamena:

Alec has never called Jace his ‘brother’ before… Based on the S2 trailers!

---

“You called Jace your brother,” Izzy says softly as she sits down on the edge of her brother’s bed and crosses her legs. 

Alec, who’s lying fully dressed on the covers with his right arm thrown over his eyes, doesn’t look at her. “So?”

“You have never done that before,” she observes. “You’ve always called him your best friend or your parabatai but never your brother.”

Keep reading

This my shipper heart can totally live with… And I love Izzy so much.

Peggy Carter has a few ideas, by owlet

Peggy watched James. She watched James watch Steve. She watched Steve watch her, except:

It took some time, but she saw it. 

When Steve was tired, especially, when his accent thickened and his posture slumped a little. Then it wasn’t Peggy he looked for. It was James. 

Those poor boys.

Didn’t they read The Iliad in America?

Adult, polyamory. Happy little story (although less so considering we know what happens next…), in which the boys are clueless - but luckily Peggy is beyond awesome. :)

Peggy Carter has a few ideas, by owlet

Asset, Agent, Hunter, Spy, by calculatingthestars

His chest hurts. His heart beats faster, he has trouble breathing. Everything Magnus described and then some, except Alec has been feeling this all of his god damned life and it’s so familiar he could scream. This isn’t about desire; it never has been. Alec has loved Jace for so long that he hardly knows who he is without this love, and it’s starting to look like he never will.

“I don’t want you to get hurt,” he says finally, and Jace smiles. It’s a small, crooked thing, and it hurts Alec to see it.

Adult, post-season 1. This is intense and proof that it’s entirely possible to ship a pairing without having seen the entire (or even most) of the canon… What can I say, I’m a sucker for this parabatai thing and Alec Lightwood’s soulful eyes. :)

And Never Sought the Wiser to Touch the Ground Again, by coalitiongirl

“You’re the slayer,” he realized. “Betty…Bunny…Cordy’s friend. Aren’t you in Sunnydale?”

“Buffy,” she corrected. “And yeah, I would be, but Cordelia called me the other day to tell me that her boss Angel, the famed vampire with a soul, has completely lost his mind.” She kicked high, nicking him in the chin and sending him tumbling to the ground, flat on his back. 

PG, AU. What if Buffy and Angel had only met after they’d both done some growing up? This, absolutely. I love that it avoids the usual pitfalls of this pairing while still ringing completely true for both characters.

And Never Sought the Wiser to Touch the Ground Again, by coalitiongirl

Five Ways Buffy and Angel Never Meet And Never Have To Say I Love You, by LAndrews

“Angel,” she says. 

He knows his line. He whispers, “Buffy.”

Adult, AU, post-NFA. These are mostly very angsty, but also beautiful in their darkness, two souls finding each other, even if they’re not meant to stay together.

First and Last of Your Kind, by verbaepulchellae

She needs to feel real and alive after all that death and for a moment she’s at a loss of how to get that, how to feel that when she can’t turn to Finn and Raven is buried in engineering and forty-seven of her friends could be dying in Mount Weather. 

But then she thinks of Bellamy’s fingers under hers. 

Adult, missing scene. Clarke needs something real - Bellamy gives it to her. I love how comfort-seeking, life-affirming smut turns into something lovely and deep, without messing up canon.

First and Last of Your Kind, by verbaepulchellae

Faking It, by winterwaters

The footsteps rounded the corner.

“We might need crazy right about now,” he said urgently. 

She pushed him against the wall, hard. He had only a moment to register his surprise before her arms wound around his neck and her mouth touched his.

Teen, fluff. I have a soft spot for pretend!relationship fics, and this one’s just really sweet.

Faking It, by winterwaters

Cherry Blossoms on the Battle Field, by forgettingthedetails

Lust was normal, it was okay to lust after another man, but love them? You never heard of anything like that. Your talks between you and the other young men you were raised with discussed how to use oil so slick them up but never how to tell them to leave the war because it is too dangerous and you just don’t know how you would continue to live knowing they’re dead.

Mature. Poor confused Li Shang… This is short but lovely in its bittersweetness.

Cherry Blossoms on the Battle Field, by forgettingthedetails

Are You A Stranger Without Even A Name, by Sidara

“Designate it the Winter Soldier.” Karpov stepped back, satisfaction filling his face. “Prep the first memory shock pattern and—” 

“Wipe him.”

Adult, angst. This fic ate my heart and spit it out. Oh, Bucky! I don’t think I’ve ever read such a gut-wrenching description of how the Asset was created. This was written pre-Civil War, and canon was actually kinder to him, something to which I clung while descending into the darkness…

Nightingale, by Saucery

Marcus - didn’t step back. His courage, really, ought to have been lauded; as it was, it was a mere unremarked-on necessity. His contract specified that he not engage in communication with the client, but it also stipulated that were a response commanded, he would, if the environment were secure enough, be compelled to obey. 

Esca knew that, of course. The brat knew everything. “Come here, Marcus.”

Mature, AU. Esca is a dancer, Marcus his bodyguard. It goes about as well as expected. Intense!

begin again (you say we can still be friends), by spock

Louder Than a Whisper, by zarabithia

The questioning eventually comes to Bucky. “Captain America,” a sharply dressed male reporter says, “what are your thoughts on repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?" 

Steve feels a sharp twist in his gut, one that matches the nagging impulse that hasn’t left the back of his mind in the months since he made the decision to not come out.

Mature, comic!verse. I love comic!Steve & Bucky, and this Steve is so great - both during the war with Bucky and after his defrosting, forming new relationships and dealing with his sexuality in a world that hasn’t come quite as far as many would like to think.

Most of him was covered in black robes, just like Luke round about the time of Endor. Leia had laughed at Luke for it. She’d laugh at Ben now, if there was any room for laughter between them. She hadn’t had anyone to laugh with in such a long time.

Laura knows that expression simply because she herself wears it so often. 

Falling for Clint Barton has its own particular facial expression – fond and exasperated and slightly sappy all at once. Though to be fair, on Natasha it’s more exasperated than sappy.

You want some bourbon/I want some oranges, by jouissant

Don’t worry it, he meant to say, but he didn’t have the chance. The move was ill-timed, and their fingers brushed. Their hands caught in midair and dropped to the earth together. The expression on Nix’s face reminded Dick of earlier, in the road.

Adult, Winters’ POV. 18′000+ words of feels about Winters and Nix, all of them perfect in their hesitant unavoidability.

You want some bourbon/I want some oranges, by jouissant

Burning Alive, by dovingbird

“We have three spare bedrooms, Katniss,” Peeta says softly. He begins cutting the cookie dough into little shapes, the cutter’s rhythmic thump breaking the tension that still sizzles between them. “You can go out. You can hunt. You don’t even have to see him." 

But she knows better. Because there are nights she still dreams of Gale and wonders what he’s doing now, what they could be doing together. And since when has she ever been able to deny her curiosity? She’ll see him, all right. And every single piece of shit will hit the fan in a second.

Adult, post-canon, polyamory. I haven’t even read or seen the entire Hunger Games trilogy, but re-watching the first movie (and drooling over Gale *g*) got me curious - and this fic is peek into the future that seems totally in keeping, even improving on it. Also, it’s hot as anything! ;)

In The Space Between Them, by Fee

Ariadne repeats, “Arthur and Eames – they’re a bit childish, don’t you think. This isn’t preschool. Eames flirts by kicking over Arthur’s chairs for heavens sake.”

“Flirts?” Cobb asks, surprised. 

Teen, post-movie. Ariadne is having problems figuring out what Arthur and Eames are to each other… I love outside POV, and this is just lovely.

In The Space Between Them, by Fee

The Merciless Hours, by togina

“I heard you’re the best shot on base,” Rogers said, staring out over the camp and toward the horizon. “Maybe the best shot in the Army.” 

His head swung around in surprise when Bucky’s response came out in a bitter laugh and a puff of smoke. “You been asking around, private, I can guarantee that ain’t all you heard.” He arched an eyebrow, letting his gaze drift down the broad contours of a chest visible below the cotton of the private’s shirt. “You interested?”

Teen, a bit underage, comic!verse. Bucky’s never been the kid sidekick. This is intense, and I’m utterly in love with Bucky & Steve’s relationship here.

The Merciless Hours, by togina

Iconic, by Te and Jack

Bruce is there above him, showing nothing but pure Batman
face. Silent, and silent, and still managing to tell him that this
is a case closed a decade ago. 

But he’s not going to let it go. He’s not fifteen anymore,
going home alone to pine and yearn and jerk off until he can
sleep is no longer age-appropriate.

Adult, angsty smut. Nightwing finds himself in a familiar position with Batman… only this time, it’ll end differently. This isn’t fluffy or sweet, but it’s full of emotion and hot, acrobatic sex. :)

Adult, established relationship. This adds so much texture to Steve and Bucky at the end of Civil War while still being canon-compliant. <3

Once in a while, though, Lee allows himself the luxury of contemplation. When not distracted by her actual, dominating presence, he lets himself consider the possibility of a future. With her.

Sing, O Muse, by Avelera

“Bucky,” Steve repeated, as if it were the most natural thing in the world to assume they were friends now. “Thanks for the help back there." 

"Any time,” he said back, and it was Patroclus who spoke.

“I guess one of us is messed up,” he said, “and it’s part of our hallucination that the other is, too.” He paused. “Seems appropriately hellish that my mind sticks me with you.” 

She pursed her lips. “Likewise.”

Adult, Groundhog Day!AU. Early season 1!Clarke & Bellamy are stuck together. At first it goes about as well as expected - and then it goes about as well as (the shipper heart) expected… including sexytimes! :)

Meet Me in the Morning, by monroeslittle

Watercolors, by rashaka

When a rustle pulls him awake, it’s full dark. The last candle winked out some time before, and the only light remaining is a thin silver glow from the window. Bellamy blinks as his eyes adjust, taking in the wooden slats of the ceiling, then the quiet room. Beyond the door, he can hear men and women moving and whispering, but the sounds are muted: a hush of a prayer, a soft whimper of pain. He turns his head, expecting to see Clarke asleep beside him in the darkness. 

She’s not.

She is awake too, and she’s watching him.

Adult, post-season 3 finale. This is only the first chapter of what the author calls a “smut series”, but it stands wonderfully on its own - and the smut has a whole lot of feels to it, which is my favourite kind.

Watercolors, by rashaka

Thirty-Eight Days and Counting, by thecommodore_squid

It didn’t escape him that Steve shared his assumed last name. 

“Are you gonna be my cousin?” Bucky asked dully. 

Steve frowned. “Husband, actually,” he said easily, holding up his left hand to show a typical golden band.

Bucky scowled and closed the door.

Adult, AU, h/c. Detective Barnes has to go into witness protection after a shadowy organization used a new memory drug on him. Good thing he’ll be protected by one Steve Rogers… The domestic bits are wonderful, and the action packs a mean punch.

Through a dark night, without a sunrise, love will tell us where to go, by LunaCanisLupus_22

The truth is this: he knows that this life is a lie. 

There are too many gaps to fall into, too many things he can’t know but will know, too many reasons for this false world to fall apart.

But it is easier. That much is true. 

For now, the lie is enough.

Adult, amnesia!fic, WIP. Jay begins a new life after apparently losing his memory in an accident. But things don’t add up - and then there’s Captain America… 

This isn’t finished yet, but oh, the first chapter alone is already so amazing!

Saturn Above, by Rubynye

“Imagine the rites back in the day. The drinking and the feasting. The bonfires and dancing. And of course the orgies.” 

My mouth fell open, because Martinez had just mentioned orgies. He turned and grinned at me just as we hit the kitchen, where he took ruthless advantage of my shock to grab my arm, swing me through the doorway, shut the door with my ass, and shove his tongue down my throat.

Adult, post-rescue. Orgy. The best birthday present Mark Watson ever received. :)

Restless knots to untie, by Claudia_flies

Bucky jolts awake. His legs are tangled in a maroon coloured duvet. He is lying in the middle of a large king bed, surrounded by pillows in matching maroon pillowcases. He is warm, but there is a part of him, deep in his gut that is still cold. 

There are no dreams in cryo.

Adult, post-Civil War. This fixes most things I wasn’t happy with in CW, i.e. it adds some lovely depth to Steve & Bucky’s relationship. Also, shared dreaming, which is catnip.

in a dream (you saw a way to survive and you were full of joy), by notcaycepollard

“Naw,” Steve says, “this is a fairytale, not Greek tragedy, you haven’t died yet. Just a little curse, is all. You know what you’ve gotta do?" 

"What we’ve gotta do,” Bucky agrees, “it is a Gordian knot, and I know what to do with those. And you were wrong about one thing." 

"Was I?” Steve smiles, and Bucky nods. 

“You know my name,” he says, looks at Steve, because he can’t look away, “it was always gonna be you, Steve.”

Teen, post-Civil War. There’s truth in dreams, even (or especially) the fairy tale ones… This is the story of how Bucky wakes up. I heart this fic so much!

After the boys of summer have gone, by pene

The sun’s dipping at the horizon. Zach lowers his voice and says, “I don’t know what happens next.” 

It’s not like Shaun has any answers. He might have nine years on the guy, but he’s been watching and he thinks maybe Zach has it more together than the lot of them. He shakes his head. “I don’t know either. How about next we all go to dinner at the Shack.”

Teen, post-movie. I love this movie, and this is totally how I picture their lives continuing. <3

That was exactly what I was yelling at the tv when re-watching Civil War yesterday. :)

Warning Shot, by togina

The rifle was still set up, on the roof of a building five blocks away. It was one of the ones they’d confiscated from the secret basement in the embassy earlier, Soviet made. There were no other marks, and Steve knew there would be no fingerprints. When he stretched out to look through the sight, he found himself staring at Sharon’s chair. Warning shot, Steve thought, and packed up the gun. When he got to the hospital, Sharon asked him why he was smiling.

Mature, D/s. The Winter Soldier shows his disapproval of Steve’s attempts at dating in some quite fucked up ways. Good thing Steve likes that kind of fucked up. (Background Natasha/Sam, Steve/others.)

I Want You (To Belong To Me), by bedroom_stars

The Soldier does not want to share Steve with anybody. 

He doesn’t want to share Steve with the Falcon who has kind eyes and speaks gentle words and treats the Soldier like a person even though he is not a person. He doesn’t want to share Steve with the Widow who he both knows and does not know, both trusts and does not trust. 

The Soldier doesn’t want to share Steve with Bucky fucking Barnes.

Teen, post-WS. I’ve got a weak spot for possessiveness, and the way the Soldier is even jealous of his previous self… This owns my heart. <3

Enemies Foreign and Domestic, by romanticalgirl

Steve leans against the wall and watches him. He can feel a familiar twist of desire in his gut. Bucky grew up really well, and Steve’s only human. He pushes the feeling away, because pushing it down would only send it directly to his groin, and that’s the last thing he wants. DADT has been repealed, but Bucky’s his job. His mission. And Steve can still see a ghost of the kid he’d been in his face. “I’ll be with you when you go out. I’ll be close by for when you sneak out.”

Adult, AU. In which Bucky’s the President’s son and Steve’s his bodyguard. Also, his former babysitter. This is an awesome mix of action and, ahem, action… ;)

kaasknot:

“Thank you for purchasing a StarkTech Companion ‘Bot! Please state your name for licensing.”

Bucky is a severely agoraphobic combat veteran, and Steve is the android he buys out of loneliness.

Wherein loose ends are rounded up and brought to a close.

(This fic is complete. Chapter 1 is here)

Adult, AU. This is amazing - love how their relationship develops and how different yet the same their characters are…

Uncomplicated, by mainpudl

“You should try it some time.” Mouse’s voice had gone soft and low, and it felt only right and natural when his hand dropped to Brian’s thigh and rested there, big and warm. “You never know. You might like it.”

Adult. Because I agree with the author - there’s no way Brian and Mouse didn’t hook up at least once…

Gather Ye Rosebuds, by LavenderProse

“Because, Bucky! Because—you really wanna know? It’s because we’re fucking. We’re fucking and I can’t fuck you and live with you and hang out with you all the time because then it’s too much like a relationship and I just—I can’t right now, okay? I need a relationship like a need a hole in the head and we’ll just both be miserable.”

Adult, AU, trans!Steve/Jewish!Bucky. In which Steve & Bucky are childhood best-friends-with-benefits - but Bucky would like it to be so much more… Unfortunately, Steve isn’t cooperating. This is emotionally satisfying and sexy as hell - and I love how it deals with Steve’s trans identity (i.e. carefully, without making it an Issue). My only criticism is that Steve’s a bit of an ass to poor Bucky.

the splinter in my fingertip, by VegaOfTheLyre

When Gomez and Morticia meet for the first time she is nineteen and he is twenty-six; she has just returned home from finishing school in Romania, and he has come to the Frump house for a family lunch with his fiancée, her older sister.

Teen, back story. Gomez & Morticia are possibly the best married couple to ever grace the screen, and this tale of how they met is simply perfect!

A Real Grown-Up Name, by fairy_tale_echo

“That’s Frances Houseman,” the girls in her dormitory whispered. “She has that older boyfriend who lives down in Springfield and teaches dancing! He comes to get her on the weekends wearing that leather jacket. She knows things. Things about the real world.”

Post-movie. Dirty Dancing is one of my all-time favourite movies, it just never gets old - and I’ve decided that this story is how it continues. *nods*

Vid: Arrow, by shirasade

When you made a pact with him
A secret that you’d keep
That you’d forget that sin
Could be so warm, so free!
- Arrow, by The Irrepressibles

I hadn’t planned on vidding for this little gem (one of my favourite gay-themed movies, despite the sadness), but the song was just too perfect and those boys give me all the feels.

A Good Fight, by togina

“You remember that pub in London?” Steve went on, and Tony thought that someone should have made a note in the SSR records on Captain America. Something like, ‘Subject is a brawler. Do not, under any circumstances, take him to a bar unless you’re carrying brass knuckles and possibly an RPG.’

Teen, humour. Tony takes Steve and Bucky to a biker bar. Things don’t go quite as he expected.

Aww, Jack… While I wish they’d stuck closer to the Bible’s Jonathan (and didn’t like the “gay villain” trope), I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for him. Music: Everybody Wants to Rule the World, by Lorde.

of the start and the end, by waldorph

She remembered dying: being cradled in William’s arms while Eric had tried to find something, anything that would save her. She wondered if together they would manage the thing.

Teen, post-movie. I find the movie only so-so, but I like the way it handles its (apparently obligatory) love triangle, i.e. in a way that makes it easy for me to imagine an OT3. This story is pretty much my headcanon now.

20th Century Limited, by Speranza

“I was in a hospital,” Bucky said slowly. “I couldn’t move. My arms and legs were—broken.” He looked at Steve with real fear in his eyes. “I’m not really here, am I." 

"No, I don’t think so,” Steve agreed, swallowing back his own terror. Bucky wasn’t alive, Bucky couldn’t still be alive; Steve would have known if he was. He remembered clinging to the outside of the train and having the radio in his mind go silent: that sudden, terrible dead air. The loneliness, the internal emptiness, was unbearable. 

“I’m in the hospital or I’m dead, but I’m not here,” Bucky said. “And you’re…" They both looked down at the hole in the ice. 

"I’m down there,” Steve said. “I’m still under the ice.”

Adult, canon-divergent, telepathy. One of the side-effects of the serum is that those injected with it are telepathically connected - which changes Steve and Bucky’s relationship considerably… But this epic story only starts there, what’s most amazing is what happens after they both fall…  I can’t believe I hadn’t read this before, it’s simply breathtaking!

Down Into The Golden Lands, by Speranza & alby_mangroves

Thor sighed. “He is building a house in the land of the dead, and once built it will be too late: we will see him no more. I went into my mother’s realm, the place beyond death, to try and persuade him.” He looked sadly at each of them in turn. “I know that you would have done the same, for Steve is our leader and our heart. There is not one of us who would not walk into hell for him. But we must face the fact that—" 

"—it’s not us he wants,” Natasha said, sucking her lip. “It’s Barnes. We’ve got to send Barnes.”

Teen, not-CW compliant. This is so different, and all the more beautiful for it.
