calling all Leverage fans out there:
if you're at all interested or preoccupied with Elliot Spencer's relationship with Damien Moreau, can I interested you in Micheletto and Cesare Borgia's relationship in The Borgias?
Consider a man. A dangerous man; perhaps the most dangerous man in the world. A man for hire, well-versed in death and spycraft and making things happen for the rich and the powerful. And one day—one day that dangerous man meets a powerful man, a powerful man he chooses to serve, to do terrible bloody work for. Anything and everything the powerful man asks, the dangerous man does, to the point where the powerful man trusts the dangerous man implicitly, without instruction or specification. To the point where the dangerous man becomes an extension of his will, of his self.
Until one day, the dangerous man is asked to do something so horrific, he can't bear to work for the powerful man anymore, and he walks away.
And the powerful man lets him.
God, does that not sound exactly like Elliot's history with Moreau? Have any Leverage season 4 aficionados ever wanted to see what that service looked like, from both sides?
Well, here's your chance. And truly, Micheletto (here, our Elliot analogue) and Cesare's (Moreau) relationship bookends the whole show; shapes it; makes all things possible and delivers something meaningful and emotional and horrific, all the same.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you for the tags @curator-on-ao3 and @emonydeborah! I apologize for how long it's taken me to respond 💛
I'm so late to this, I have no idea who's already done it. If you haven't yet, please, please consider yourself tagged - and tag me in your response so that I can read your answers! (Actually if you have done it already, also link me so I can read your answers. These are fun questions with bonus fic recs so I'd like to see them all!)
Anyway, I got a little rambly, so I'll put in a cut to not murder anyone's dash 😁
1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 82.
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 397,560.
3. What fandoms do you write for? I've been primarily writing Star Trek (Strange New Worlds and Voyager) lately, with a dash of The Librarians and Leverage.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Fringe Benefits (SNW) - My beloved monument to ridiculousness where I approach the totally canon subject of Chris Pike's horse skills via Number One's hair.
October 2373 (Voyager)- My magnum opus! The one time I've managed to achieve completion of an October prompt list - five of them. In one coherent (ish) fic. Granted, it did take me until December... but the point is that I finished it! It follows a very eventful and occasionally random month aboard the Starship Voyager, where they have to deal with imprisonment, alien attacks, diplomatic meetings, and Kathryn's inability to talk about her feelings.
For the Captain Who Has Everything: A Prixin Story (Voyager) - Look. You can't just give me three delightful misfits for ONLY ONE EPISODE and not expect me to adopt them as my own. SO this is what happened next for the little Good Shepherd flock, where 'what happened next' is shenanigans to set up their Captain with her First Officer as a gesture of gratitude.
Growing Pains (SNW) - Aw, one of my early Chris and Una fics! This is one of the set I wrote while the first season was just airing weekly - hard to believe that was almost two years ago 😲 This one was the aftermath of Una 'I'm just fine-ing' her way into emergency surgery and Chris letting her know that there were things up with which he would not put - top of the list being losing his Number One.
Command Advice (SNW) - Another of the early SNW set! This was my 'spicier' take on the resulting conversation between Chris and Una after she learns about her Where Fun Goes to Die nickname. In one version, they have a very serious conversation about Starfleet principles. In *this* version, they're less serious. Also naked.
5. Do you respond to comments? Yes! Or at least I try. I love and cherish every comment, but I tend to run (very) behind on responding and have to play the game of 'is it weird to reply to a comment this late?'
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? My very first fic ever! Actually I think it might be my only fic with an angsty ending. I guess I got it all out of my system early. That one is Wednesday, a Sanctuary fic where Helen has a very sad day.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Literally everything else. I can't even pick out of my collection of sappiness.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Not really.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes, there's very little I would not be willing to at least try writing! Up to now I think I've written at least mildly smutty M/F, F/F, and F/M/M sexcapades and/or BDSM. I'm working my way around to some F/F/M for SNW if I could get the three of them to cooperate.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I think I've only written one crossover and it was for SNW/The Librarians, bringing about a meeting between Eve Baird and Una Chin-Riley, which we would have in a fair and just universe.
Wait, I take that back! I also had a little snippet on Tumblr where Hawkeye, BJ, Jonathan, and Ardeth meet up, because The Mummy/MASH is... certainly a combo. Actually, I think I also had a snippet of Gomez Addams meeting Hawkeye and BJ? What is it about MASH?
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Also not that I know of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Kind of? The Discord crowdsourced the plot to a ridiculously hilarious fic and I wrote a bit of it for fun, but I'm not sure if that counts? Co-writing does sound like a good time, though!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Voyager! The happiest little ship in the Delta Quadrant 🚀
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I have a lot of bits and pieces on my hard drive that will never be finished and released into the Ao3 wilds - the plot didn't work out/was barely a plot, I've moved on from the fandom, I was trapped in a fever dream of my nieces playing Frozen on repeat, blacked out, and woke up to 3 chapters dealing with the socio-political ramifications of Elsa decamping and Anna appointing the prince of another land in charge rather than Arendelle's Privy Council. Anyway.
The WIPs I have posted, though, I fully intend to finish at some point! It may take a while and it might not be my original planned ending, but they haunt me. So one day I will have to put them to rest. Possibly with a 2x4, tarp, and shovel.
16. What are your writing strengths? I like to think I'm pretty good at getting into the character's voice. I hope so, at least; I spend a lot of time on it! Also, humor, although that one is objective, of course.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Commas. Clearly.
Structurally, it varies per fic, but I have a habit of running thin on plot. I start strong at A, want to get to B, but the middle gets kind of wander-y. This also leads to me sometimes stalling mid-project if I get distracted or pulled away - hence my current three WIPs. Though it doesn't help that the past six months have sucked on letting me have much free time.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? If it was short, easy dialogue in Spanish or French I might be able to swing it. Otherwise, I would need to phone a friend.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Sanctuary!
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? This is a hard one. I love them all for different reasons, some of which have more to do with the time I was writing them than with the actual contents. Reluctance was my first multi-chapter fic ever back in the FFN days, so that seems like a pretty good candidate. I learned so much while writing that fic!

Oh god that Desi server, the fucking chaos afscghfhhgjj
I remember you joining and you weren't online as chronically as a lot of us, and you had such good ideas and fandom opinions. I thought you were charismatic, aloof, distinguished, unattainable-friend and most importantly, cool.
Then ofc we collabed and I actually talked to you one on one. I have to say I was scared fucking shitless when I started talking to you because you seemed so out of my little baby fandom leagues.
But now I know just how much cooler you are. Also a dork. And pathetic wet cat core (affectionate). You still have at least 10 movies and books from my recs to finish (please read folk of the air I'm begging you (but after your exams obvi)). Also the only person from this blog who read my first smut fic. Also the first one I'd probably ask for witness signature for my wedding to Christian (or Dante. Or Alex. I also like Rowan. Oh and Rhys. Ofc can't forget Zade and Aaron)
You made me watch Hannibal. I'm so grateful for those fucking murder husbands.
Also thank you for indulging my weird (BUT ENTIRELY POSSIBLE) medical questions at all hours. I mean I'm a wholeass adult now I gotta know about breaking hips and stuff y'know for science 👀
I'M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR THE ANGST AND MCD YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT
Thank you for being my friend 💙💙💙
The only reason I wasn't chronically online was because of 11th class which was from like 6am to 9pm. Brutal hours I know :')
I'm sorry I just. Moi???? A charismatic distinguished gentleman???? Like ik I have a mysterious charm but. DISTINGUISHED??? COOL???? WHAAAAT
Tbh from my POV you were the cool, aloof one. Like even after we started collabing you seemed so distant. And then one day you asked me if I'd read rwrb and I said yes and it was like a fucking dam broke 😭
Also yes I'm pathetic wet cat core and I'd rather be known for that than the charismatic distinguished gentleman 🤣🤣🤣
Anyways I'm not very good with words (fics? Yes. My own feelings? Uhhhhhhh) BUT you're my bestie and my fucking lighthouse because everytime I'm down I think of you to remind myself that things will get better and someday I'll live in an apartment all by myself and I'll make maggi at 3am if I want to <3 also you're a dork with the best fashion sense and I love you even with your 847464737 husbands
Thank YOU for introducing me to the Leverage fam - my second favourite crime family, second only to the Forgers, and speaking of which, thank you for tagging me in cute as heck Spy x Family posts <3<3<3
(Yes I love the angst and MCD 🙃)
Ilysm babe <3<3<3<3

(this is a bit belated but I have been In The Countryside all weekend with next to no Internet - anyway! I was a guest reccer for @thereccenter last week. I've been the beneficiary of many kind recs in this newsletter and wanted to pass it on, so I made a list of my favourite heist AUs. I am thrilled it has appeared in the same edition as Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win.)
Laiqualaurelote adores AUs and crossovers, often incredibly niche ones. She is the author of the Ted Lasso heist AU “they will see us waving from such great heists” and can be found on Tumblr here.
Someone once described heist fic to me as the Little Black Dress of AUs—it’ll go with anything, provided you can pull it off. The joy of the heist AU lies in how it deploys its tropes—it’s delightful to see an ensemble you love cast in the archetypes of the heist crew: the Mastermind, the Grifter, the Hacker, the Hitter, the Thief, the Driver, the Forger, the Person Who Blows Stuff Up, etc. (All the better if this unfolds in a Recruitment Montage.) Most heist AUs riff off Ocean’s Eleven and/or Leverage, but the good ones are especially ingenious in how they adapt the cons to fit the fandom and manage to keep the reader guessing till the final sleight of hand. Heist heist baby!
(General content warning for criminality)
“Rose’s Eleven” by leupagus (@leupagus). 50K words, rated Explicit. Fandom: Schitt’s Creek; Ships: Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Ted Mullens/Alexis Rose Backstory: Schitt’s Creek is a show about a wealthy family losing all their money and being forced to relocate to a small town they once bought as a joke. (I have never actually seen it, which is how good this AU is.) In this fic, David Rose, released on parole, assembles a team to rob the Met Gala as vengeance against the man who got him sent to prison, Sebastien Raine—who seems to be dating David’s ex-husband Patrick. Rec: This AU appears at first to be your standard Ocean’s Eleven dynamic combined with an Ocean’s Eight plot, but there’s a lot more going on. I was bowled over by the complexity of the heist, with its double-crosses and triple-crosses. Love the criminals who are also working mothers. Content warnings: N/A
“The Kansas City Shuffle Job” by arboreal_overlords (@peri-hellion). 45K words, rated Teen. Fandom: The Magnus Archives; Ships: Jonathan Sims/Martin Blackwood/Tim Stoker, Basira Hussain/Alice “Daisy” Tonner Backstory: The Magnus Archives is a horror podcast in which fear entities manifest in the world through human avatars, who are granted eldritch powers. In this Leverage-based AU, the characters still have their avatar powers, only they use them for crime. Jon, who left the Magnus Institute after his assistant Sasha was murdered in a conspiracy involving his boss, is hired to lead a heist team comprising hitter Daisy, hacker Melanie and thief Tim. When they are double-crossed, they have to bring on board the best con man in England, Martin. Rec: Wonderful reimagining of the Magnus universe as a criminal underworld, with an intricately plotted heist and character studies carefully woven into the cons. “Let’s go steal an Institute!” Content warnings: Canonical character death, some canon-typical suicidal ideation
“Three Card Monte” by enjambament (@enjambament). 14K words, rated Teen. Fandom: Harry Potter; Ships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, Caradoc Dearborn/Fabian Prewett, Lily Evans/James Potter Backstory: In this non-wizarding Marauders AU, Sirius gets out of prison and looks up Remus with a plan to rob the casino at Hotel Voldemort and steal...a piano. Rec: A clever, compact Oceans-esque heist with fun twists on canon, from grizzled hacker Mad-Eye Moody to young thief Tonks, still learning to grift on the job. Content warnings: Mention of past abusive relationship
“The Casterly Rock Job” by Netgirl_Y2K (@netgirl-y2k). 3.2K words, rated Teen. Fandom: Game of Thrones; Ship: Yara Greyjoy/Daenerys Targaryen Backstory: Daenerys’ plan to steal the Lannisters’ dirty little secrets for their business rival Olenna Tyrell involves enlisting Arya’s burglary skills, Margaery’s knack for seduction and Yara’s speedboat driving. Rec: Love an all-women heist crew! Criminal mastermind Dany has a delightful swagger, seen through the eyes of hard-bitten mobster’s daughter Yara.  Content warnings: N/A
“i don’t need a parachute (if i’ve got you)” by thewestwinged (@aberfaeth). 6K words, rated Teen. Fandom: The Locked Tomb; Ship: Gen, Camilla Hect & Palamedes Sextus Backstory: Thief Camilla teams up with the hacker known as The Warden to one-up his mother, the legendary grifter Juno Zeta, Who Met God And Convinced Him She Was One Of His Angels And Then, Ostensibly, Stole A Lot Of Money From Him. Rec: Spot-on voices for Camilla “hides a taser in a fake gun” Hect and Palamedes “uploads erotica onto Elon Musk’s website” Sextus. I would watch an entire series of Cam & Pal Commit Crimes. Content warnings: N/A
“Provenance” by rageprufrock (@rageprufrock). 20K words, rated Teen. Fandom: Inception; Ships: Arthur/Eames, Dominic Cobb/Mallorie Miles Backstory: Inception is technically canonically about a heist, but in this AU there is no dream technology and it’s about art theft instead. The theft of a Raphael painting from the National Gallery reunites Interpol agent Dom, insurance company representative Arthur, and the painting’s owner Eames, who may or may not have stolen it himself. Rec: Brilliant, funny, unusual in that it follows neither the Ocean’s Eleven nor Leverage moulds but strikes out on its own. The long-suffering hapless POV of Dom Cobb, usually a hugely unedifying character, is priceless. Content warnings: N/A

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
in no particular order
let's get physical - Leverage fandom
this is a deeply self-indulgent fic, which is one of the reasons that it's a favorite. it's also a fic i've been reading to write since i first watched the episode back in 2011? 2012? so it's been a long time coming. anyway, i love nate and sophie, i love writing them together, and i enjoyed adding a third person into the mix a ton.
2. but i leave in my heart - Once Upon a Time fandom
this fic was what i wanted the split queen storyline to be. i mean, i would have been fine if we got actual character exploration for regina without the swan queen but instead we got less and worse. (i will not forget that this storyline started with regina apologizing to snow for being a bad stepmom and i will not forgive.) also, like, to be honest, a big part of my inspiration was the s5 finale where regina told emma that she wanted to rip hook's throat out after he came back to life. things evolved from there. (also, this is the fic that led to spark and me talking in twitter DMs then becoming friends then falling in love so it's also responsible for my marriage.)
3. come up for air - Once Upon a Time fandom
this was a fic that i sat with for a long time because i wanted to bring back the fact that regina was literally tortured and almost died and one of the people responsible for that is just part of the group and in a relationship with emma. it was deeply emotionally satisfying to write and one that means a lot to me. especially that scene i wrote with regina and henry at the play castle.
4. the waves will break every chain on me - Once Upon a Time fandom
Milah, my beloved. i didn't fix her story, but i did make it about her and explored her character beyond "she's just a bitch."
5. instruct me in the dark - Leverage fandom
i had been meaning to write a maggie/sophie fic for years. i love their dynamic, the respect they have for each other, how much they genuinely like each other rather than seeing the other as a rival for the affection of a man they both love or loved. and i enjoyed placing it in the time right on the heels of the events of the season 1 finale, where maggie has not only met the team but worked successfully with them, and sophie has just blown up her life in a way that clearly leaves her a bit adrift, which follows her into her character arc in the next season.

I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE FOUND YOU.
I am an OG leverage fan. I used to wait every week for a new episode and I followed them across every day of the week and every hour of the day when TNT kept jostling them around. And the fandom was NON existent. Now that there is REDEMPTION I have been shoving Leverage down the throats of EVERY SINGLE PERSON I MEET - online, at work, in the streets. No one is safe.
And to have found your blog, with the rambling tags that I LOVE. It’s just like all of my work has meant something and this is my reward.
Thank you.
OOOH, I salute you, anon! I respect the dedication, it's a level of keeping up with schedules that I could never manage. I actually didn't know about Leverage until after it had finished airing. Still a good few years ago, but... I think it was back in the height of my OUAT fandom days, when some of my tumblr pals recced it to me. And then I got obsessed and binged it at all hours of the day until I had finished the entire series.
It's kinda funny, because I don't remember seeing much fandom then either. Don't remember what year that was, but I looked around and found a few blogs or so, nothing super active. It's only more recently, when I decided to rewatch/blog through my rewatch, that I actually started finding other Leverage fans on here. (I actually didn't know about Redemption at the time; found out like halfway through my rewatch - but I'm pretty sure I was late to the game on that one).
Anyway, it's definitely a real delight to find so many people still actively involved in a fandom that until recently wasn't giving new content. All that to say, I'm having a lot of fun talking Leverage (+Redemption) with everyone and I fully support your efforts of getting more people into it!

I have been reading your “you are responsible forever for what you have tamed” tag with UTTER GLEE *fans self*
Do you have any recommendations for books / fix to read which are heavy on fealty and subby men/murderbots? Especially if the kink is explicit but implicit is delightful too! Thank you!!
Hello! Thank you for enjoying my tag, and for giving me a really pleasant walk down memory lane, as I just went through the tag to find some fics to rec!
Disclaimer: I am not actually IN all of the fandoms for these recs, so if you want to go exploring the original canon or fandom proceed with caution as I have no idea what's out there in them hills.
Recs under the cut!
It's really hard for me to pull together a GOOD, COHERENT rec list for subby murderbot fic, because (1) I have been a fan of this trope for a good long time, and I simply cannot be arsed to go through over three thousand pages of bookmarks because I get distracted and start re-reading, and (2) there isn't a clear tag for it on ao3? And I understand why not, because it's hard to distinguish between "this is a character dynamic in the text" and "this is a kinky fic I am writing specifically for physical kink purposes." And THEN there are the fics where those two overlap!
So...*waves hands helplessly* I tried?
If you are looking very specifically for fealty-related femdom stuff, I made a not-so-giant femdommy fic rec list here a couple years ago, it's a good starter. It could probably use some updating at this point, but I have well over three thousand bookmarks on ao3 and...well...see above.
Tbh, I'm just going to link my AO3 bookmarks and accept that this may lose me a GREAT deal of respect from some of you pr0nbots who thought I was Better Than That (TM) for some of the stuff in there (spoilers: i am NOT and i AM embarrassed about it). Search "Dom/Sub" or "Light dom/sub" or "Fealty" or even just "BDSM" and you'll probably turn up a bunch of fics from different fandoms. Since authors don't always tag themes, you can also use the "Search within results" bar as well as the tags search, which might net you more results.
You could just search my Helen Wick tag - most of my John Wick stuff tags end up being vaguely kinky anyway. Sadly, not a whole lot of subby John Wick fic out there, but hope springs eternal I suppose!
The Clocktaur Verse is a fantasy book series by T. Kingfisher that I HIGHLY recommend as far as subby, respectful murderbot paladins!
@astolat's fics are always quality, but @fahye made a definitive astolat fealty rec list! I haven't read the merlin, thor/loki, and stargate fics because I don't happen to be in those fandoms, but I CANNOT recommend enough "And I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You," because despite the fact that it's forkin' Transformers, I have never ever read another fic that gets literal "subby murderbot second-in-command" quite so well. "Duende" from Master & Commander is also very good, although neither of them is precisely what I would call "subby."
@theragnarokd's Person of Interest fics on ao3 are incredible, as is the series they wrote with maculategiraffe, which is ALL about fealty. In fact, Person of Interest in general as a fandom is pretty rich for subby murderbot content, since the main character is an archetypal subby murderbot. astolat has a GREAT POI collection.
I would highly recommend Jupiter Ascending, a glittering ridiculously fantastic space angel werewolf of a movie where the male love interest is a literal dog soldier. Generally, anything written for Jupiter/Caine in the Jupiter Ascending fandom is choice subby murderbot content. I am also, shamefully, several years into a hiatus for a JA fic of my own.
Leverage is another fandom with a subby murderbot in it, but since Eliot Spencer is also a lot of other things not all of the fic involving him focuses on that dynamic. One of my oldest bookmarks is "Before Red Cape and Foil" by egelantier and somebraveapollo, which is a crossover with a fandom I don't go to but you don't need to be familiar to enjoy the whump. The Rope Studio AU by synteis is also good, if sadly unfinished. In fact, the first couple pages of my Leverage bookmarks should be a good resource.
I really, honestly don't think I can get much better than just shoving all of my thousands of ao3 bookmarks at people (I should start using bookmarker's tags someday (ㆆ_ㆆ)), but I PROMISE that somewhere in that mess is a bunch of subby murderbot and subby murderbot AU content! Just... a little buried in the slush.

Good Omens recs
Here are some of my all time favourite stories, but be warned that my taste is rather specific and can get into darker themes. I especially like hurt/comfort focused on Aziraphale, but that’s not the only thing you’ll encounter in this list.
The Strong Tower by @aziraphalelookedwretched  (M, 41,458)
After the failed executions, a vengeful angel takes it upon herself to neutralise the threat presented by Crowley and Aziraphale.
All stories by BuggreAlleThis are wonderful even if they get very dark in places. There (almost) always is comfort that’s more than worth the hurt and I love them all, but this one remains special to me as one of the first stories I read in this fandom and awaited every update eagerly.   
White Walls and Dead Air by BabyHoldMyFlower (G; 3,382 words)
It’s after the fourth day that he decides he hates God. He’s too tired to hold it back. Too miserable. Too busy dying. He knows he’ll go back on it later. He knows that he’ll repent later, and he’ll mean it, he thinks, once he gains some perspective, but there is nothing that could stop this bone-deep agony from churning and rising into something ugly. He’s not supposed to feel this way. He’s an angel, he really shouldn’t be thinking these things. Blind obedience is what they were created for. It’s in this moment that he can admit to a flaw in the Almighty’s design. If she wanted soldiers, she shouldn’t have given them the capacity to love.
Beautifully written and bittersweet, with lovely wing grooming and insights into the characters.
A Demon Would A-Wooing Go by @shinyhappygoth (G; 301 words)
“Heigh ho,” said Anthony Crowley, and just drove anyway.—Good Omens
Filk of "A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go".
I just love a silly take on a silly folk song that was actually referenced in the book, okay?
Flaming Sword by Bookwormgal (T; 8,576 words)
A dark shape in the not-quite-empty darkness. Dressed in black robes. Humanoid. Skeletal. Then wings unfolded. Angel wings, but not ones of feathers. Wings of night. Wings that Aziraphale could sense more than see in this strange place. And even if the thin thread didn't truly exist except as a concept to better understand what was happening, one skeletal hand rested on the weakening connection. Waiting patiently.
Azrael. Creation's Shadow. The Angel of Death.
"Oh," he said quietly, his voice swallowed by the emptiness.
Aziraphale remembered what happened. He remembered moving. He remembered the blade sliding in, sharp and sudden. He remembered pain. And then…
"I died, didn't I?" he asked.
I like the exploration of the theme of self-sacrifice here. This is just my personal pick from several of my favourite stories from this author.
Courage by Anonymous (E, 21,595 words - WIP)
Ten years after the world didn’t end, Heaven and Hell want to punish Aziraphale and Crowley for their treason.  Gabriel decides that the perfect way to punish both of them is to torture Aziraphale and force Crowley to watch; Hell agrees to the plan.  Aziraphale and Crowley are kidnapped from their South Downs cottage and taken to a neutral location; Aziraphale is tortured and raped and Crowley is forced to watch; they are then returned home, Aziraphale critically injured.  
This is the Prologue (the first three chapters; all of the violence is confined to chapter 2, which can be skipped).  
The real story begins in chapter 4; it’s the story of how Aziraphale and Crowley recover from the trauma.  They are both profoundly traumatized; it takes a long time, but they work through it together, and their marriage recovers.  There will be a happy ending.  
Aziraphale and Crowley heal each other.
This story is a WIP, but it already got to the part where things are getting better. It’s very (very!) heavy, but absolutely beautifully written, it’s giving me goosebumps.
Love Seeketh Not Itself to Please by die_traumerei (T, 14,645 words)
After Aziraphale is left gravely injured by a summoning, Crowley must take him to heaven and bargain with the angels for his life. It doesn't go as he'd expect. 
A hurt/comfort story that’s focused on the comfort part, really satisfying to read!
Evolution by @lady-divine-writes (M; 1,455 words)
Five times Aziraphale wasn’t the most confident Dom, and the one time it finally clicked. 
Again I’m only picking one story, but there are so many more from this author that I love! I bookmarked this one because I don’t usually see Aziraphale as Dom, but here he is fully in character and gets there through conscious effort, and it feels very empowering.
The Longest Night by @charlottemadison42 (series rated T-E, 34,747 words)
The night the Apocalypse doesn't happen, an angel and a demon share a bus bench on the way home to face their fates. This is the story of their evening spun out line by line, all the little moments that carried them through the night they knew might be their last.
A wonderfully written series giving a detailed account of the night before the trials, complete with drunken talk, with wonderful grasp of the characters. Again just a personal pick from the stories by a really great writer.
Who Needs Heaven (when we have each other)? by Kat_Rowe (series rated G-M (so far), 48,057 words so far)
Now that they're independent of Heaven and Hell, Aziraphale and Crowley become even closer. Friendship eventually turns to romance, and emotional intimacy to physical. (Slow-burn friends-to-lover fic series.)
A very gentle series starting with wing grooming and continuing through the exploration of a relationship in which one of the partners (Aziraphale) is asexual.
Fancy Patter on the Telephone by @hotcrosspigeon (G, 12,854 words)
A series of telephone conversations between Aziraphale and Crowley during the Lockdown.
They get steadily more desperate and ridiculous as the weeks go on.
Featuring a moping demon, a teasing angel, a pub quiz, an explosion, extraordinary amounts of alcohol, a bubble bath, awkward flirting, several love confessions... and an ill-conceived bet on who can last the longest without seeing the other.
What could possibly go wrong?
HotCrossPigeon is an amazing hurt/comfort writer who writes absolutely delightful Aziraphale ahurt/comfort from Crowley’s spot-on POV, so definitely check their other stories as well, but I just had to pick this one that’s actually humorous and doesn’t contain even a drop of blood because I couldn’t stop laughing with it.
Feathers by @29-pieces (series rated G; 23,247 words)
Pre-Apocalypse shenanigans. In this AU, when an angel and a demon fight, the victor customarily takes a feather from their opponent signifying victory over them. Usually followed by killing them, naturally. But sometimes the defeated angel or demon is left alive, minus a feather, so that everyone KNOWS. Neither Crowley or Aziraphale ever took part in that sort of thing because it's really just a mean thing to do.
A series of three stories, two with hurt Aziraphale and one with hurt Crowley.
5 Times Aziraphale was Almost Discorporated and One Time He Actually was by @charliebrown1234 (series rated T-M; 29,011 words)
This series is an absolute match for my need of Aziraphale hurt/comfort, just like their more recent story Ex Infirmitas, Sinceritas. One of the authors I’m subscribe to and read everything they write.
The Whole Sky Fell by @thepaisleyelf (T, 9,692 words)
“Okay, Aziraphale, out with it,” Crowley said finally. “What’s wrong?”
Aziraphale blinked. He suddenly seemed very interested in looking anywhere that wasn’t at Crowley, fiddling with the napkin in his lap.
“I don’t -- I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”  
Aziraphale really was a terrible liar. Under other circumstances Crowley might have found it charming, cute even, but his concern had been growing ever since he’d picked Aziraphale up for breakfast that morning....
Same as above, Turcote just knows what I love to read. Definitely check their other stories as well!
Desperate Ground by @desperateground (M, 55,883 words)
After they prevented the apocalypse and escaped execution, Crowley and Aziraphale thought they were safe from the machinations of Heaven and Hell. But there are still some demons with scores to settle - and since the angel and demon have made it clear to the world how far they're willing to go for each other, Hell has plenty of leverage on them.
A breathtaking story with torture and unwavering loyalty of the characters to each other.
***
And if you find these recs to your taste, then you might also enjoy
Back to the Roots by me (M, 90,946 words)
"We always knew it would end. Like mortals know that they'll die." Crowley closes his eyes, finding the stare of his own reflection unbearable. "When you're immortal, you can afford to pretend and hide and go slow. And then, when you finally figure it all out, it turns out that what you have can end anytime. It's unfair..." ---------- The morale in Heaven and Hell is low after the failed Apocalypse. Punishing the traitors (effectively this time) seems like a good idea to raise it for both sides - the angels would see what awaits them if they dare to disobey and the demons could just use some fun. And then there is someone else as well - someone whose grudge is even more personal. 
Also torture and unwavering loyalty, breaking the characters and then putting them together with great care. This is the darkest from my stories, so if torture is not your thing, you can check my other ones (mostly Aziraphale hurt/comfort too).

https://archiveofourown.org/works/799639    your body is a war zone but you are not a ruin by postcardmystery    2k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, 
“Make me a sandwich,” Parker says, so he does.
“Cut the damn wire,” says Hardison, so he does.
“Jump,” says Parker, says Hardison, and he never needs to ask, “How high?”
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/12475840    Well Worn, Well Loved by BabylonsFall    3k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, fluff, sharing clothes, 
You would think, given everyone’s space issues this wouldn’t be a thing. But it was. And none of them were complaining.
(Everyone steals each others clothes. They're all surprisingly okay with it.)
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/6363724    Hotel Heart by Laughsalot3412    45k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, canon-AU, psychic abilities, mind rape, 
He had a sniper rifle scoping the girl’s bright eyes and the guy’s smile.

Eliot Spencer doesn't do hospitals.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3861028    like a map of a place you've never been by bydaybreak    24k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, pining, slow burn, fake/pretend relationship, 
He knows it’d be so fucking easy, if he’d let himself. Because he’s easy for them, has been since that first job, since the day he hauled Hardison’s ass out of a building about to explode. It’d be so easy.
So he won’t.
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3928687    the warmth of your doorways by gyzym    3k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, 
Don't let me in with no intention to keep me.
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1357111    Old Dog by thingswithwings   16k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, service submission, bdsm, mild puppy play, 
Eliot's their hitter, and taking on any physical threats to the team is his job, but there's something beyond professionalism – even beyond the obvious fact that Eliot relishes the fight itself – in the way he puts his body between Parker or Alec and any potential threat. Alec has a good view of Eliot's back on a lot of jobs, and he reads something in the tight line of Eliot's shoulder, in the slow turn of his foot as he steps into a fighting stance.
Something possessive.
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8823406    Motion Parallax by Laughsalot3412    8k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, outsider pov, 
So, apparently Amy’s boss was part of a criminal gang.

He lays on his bed and knows without a doubt that his soulmates can read Fucking Genius on their skin, or maybe just Genius, but Fucking gives a ring to it.

.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3556844    No Time Like the Present by waterbird13    22k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, past Moreau/Eliot, violence, murder, child murder, 
Eliot's past with Damien Moreau is even more complicated than most people know about, and of course that would come up again when dealing with his incredibly complicated present feelings for Parker and Hardison. Eliot isn't a hundred percent sure how love works, but he's pretty positive it exists only to bite him in the ass.  
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4542576    Guard Your Eggshell Heart by letsgostealafandom    14k, Alec/Parker/Eliot, praise kink, 
Parker had a theory, and her theory was this: it made Eliot really happy when they noticed the things he did for them. It made Eliot happy when they made sure he knew they noticed the things he did for them. And when Eliot thought they didn't notice, it made him- not unhappy, but something worse, something like he knew that was all he could expect from anyone and he'd resigned himself to it a while back. Once she'd noticed it, she couldn't stop, and the realization of how often they took Eliot for granted made her stomach twist uncomfortably.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5783371    This is Called Falling by Cartopathy    24k, Finn/Poe, h/c, 
Poe stood and he walked, remembering suddenly his only friend on the planet was gone and there was little hope of finding a town, much less hospitality.
And yet he walked in hope.
There was a stormtrooper—he needed to find the stormtrooper. ________________________________
“Was Poe important to you? You were close in the Resistance?” Rey asked.
Finn cleared his throat. “Yes, because I’m in the Resistance and he was in the Resistance so we've known each other for a while. He was important to me, yes.”
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18546007    Stop Your Fear by gloss    12k, Finn/Poe, sex pollen, dub-con, public sex, pining, 
Imprisoned by space pirates, Finn and Poe get to know each other better. When Finn gets whammied with sex pollen, Poe helps him out, not entirely unselfishly.
Afterward, they try to clean up the mess and take care of each other.
please note: sex is entirely consensual, but within a compromised situation. Dub-con, not non con.
.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/6904006    Against Disaster by gloss    29k, Finn/Poe, pining, PTSD, 
Not that he loved Finn. There was no way he could love someone he'd spoken to for all of ten minutes, no matter how lifechanging those minutes proved to be.
He loved the feeling of it all. The thrill, the novelty, the rush. Everything he'd shared with Finn had been more exciting than the rest of his life put together, and his life had been far from sedate.
That's what he told himself, anyway.
__ Poe's a disaster and Finn's still got a lot of brainwashing to work through.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21762448    discovering the smile of one kageyama tobio by Emlee_J    8k, Hinata/Kageyama, fluff, 
Kageyama blinks once before a grin of his own spreads over his face. Shouyou’s breath halts in his lungs at the sight, and he wills for time to stop, just so he can drink it in. He sees it sometimes, when they’re playing - Kageyama’s fierce smile when they pull a combo off just right, when they show their opponents how possible the impossible can really be. But then there’s another serve, another rally, and the moment is gone.
'Shame', Shouyou thinks to himself, as he lets his eyes roam over Kageyama’s stupidly happy face, taking in the creases that are from joy rather than frowning, for a change. 'It’s a really nice smile.'

In which it's their third, and final, year in high school and Hinata has only one goal: to make Kageyama smile outside of volleyball.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5479973    75% Useless Pining by ravelqueen   4k, Nishinoya/Asahi, pining, hair kink, 
People often ask Asahi why he keeps his hair long. He gives them a different reason every time, from being too lazy to cut it, over saying he thinks it looks nice on him, to just ducking his head and hoping they'll move on.
The actual reason is pettier and smaller and has nothing to do with his fashion sense and everything to do with Nishinoya.

Everything is changing. But in the midst of exams, plans for the future, nationals, and a tumultuous new fracture to his family life, at least Sawamura Daichi can always count on his friendship with Sugawara Koushi to stay the same.
Or so he thought.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2940728    boys by buu    5k, Sugawara/Daichi, 
Before, if Suga had been asked to pick a type, he would have hummed and thought it over, maybe said something vague like “nice eyes” or “nice legs” or “a good personality”. Now, he can only think “Daichi”.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3189353   Perfectionism by Mysecretfanmoments    2k, Sugawara/Daichi, practise kissing, accidental boners, 
“I just wish it was something you could practice before you have to… perform.” He narrows his eyes, imagining it. “Like a CPR class.”
Suga raises an eyebrow. “You want to practice it. Beforehand.”
“Yeah. Are you offering?”
((Daichi doesn't like to be bad at things--kissing included--and Suga is willing to help him practice.))

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6411370    Jealousy by surveycorpsjean    7k, Sugawara/Daichi, jealousy, 
It’s so horrid- it feels like sludge in Suga’s stomach, like poison in his veins, like an itch behind his skin.
It burns, it stings. He hates it, he hates it more than anything, but he can’t help it.
He’s hopelessly in love.

'Kageyama doesn't know why Hinata's face rubs him the wrong way—it just does. So one day, in an attempt to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes Hinata's Shouyou's fucking face so fucking annoying, he begins to catalogue all the things that really tick him off.
This proves to be startlingly revelatory.'

It’s weird, noticing things about your best friend when your best friend is literally the goofiest person on the planet, but Noya does; the swell of his powerful calves, the line of his back when his tee shirts cling to it with sweat, the strangely graceful determination on his face when they’re up against a particularly strong team. It almost makes Noya uncomfortable.

“Actually I, uh. I was thinking I might stick around. Like, long term? I mean, if you haven’t already found someone to rent the other room, and you still. You know. Want to live together.”
Tanaka’s eyes widened in surprise. “I thought that you and Asahi were-”
“Yeah,” Noya said. “We aren’t.”
“Oh,” he said. And when Noya didn’t look up from the label on his beer bottle, Tanaka breathed out, “Shit.”

“I can like...eat you out if you want.”
Silence surrounds them. This was it. Three years of friendship down the tubes. Kageyama would move out, or demand he move out, and he'd be forever branded as the Pervert Roommate. No one would talk to him ever again. His life was over!
“Okay.”
“Whaaaaa?!”

“This place is hell,” Derek decided. “This place is absolutely hell.”
How was it possible he’d gone so many years of his life without hearing anything nearly as over the top as he had just visiting Stiles at school? This had to be some kind of record for the most disgusting things he’d ever overheard.

“Can you hear me singing in the shower?” Stiles blurted out, because he had to know, now. If one of his neighbours had slid that note under his door, then it meant Parrish as another neighbour could hear him, too! He had to know if this was all a huge joke and one person had walked by and overheard him and decided to fuck with him.
Or if everyone could hear him and he now had to leave the country.
Parrish gave him a weird look at the question, but answered anyway, making Stiles’ plans to leave the country speed up in his mind.
“Of course I can. You’re actually not bad. Though you have been singing a lot of Frozen lately, getting kind of tired of the soundtrack.”
“Oh my God!” Stiles shouted in his face.

In one world, Kakashi awoke, felt grieved at being assigned a team he sees his own in, and he let that grief make him a lazy teacher. He saw himself in Sasuke, Obito in Naruto, and Rin in Sakura. He woke, saw himself in them, and took a large step back, regretting accepting them as his new team. In another world he was quite hands off, merely a watcher because it was so very painful to watch. He saw himself and all his mistakes in this new team of his.
In this world, Kakashi awoke, saw the similarities, and instantly panicked. He suddenly realized what he had done, passing a team. Kakashi was left scrambling not to repeat old mistakes and regrets. This team would not suffer the fate of his team.
In this world, simply put, Kakashi became a teacher. This is the starting of a new Team seven.

Hey Bethany, I wanted to ask what tv shows do you love? The ones you've genuinely enjoyed or are currently enjoying, the more the merrier PS you're awesome and everytime you're my dashboard it's something I enjoy or an important political subject, keep it up
Oh, gosh, well, first of all, thank you for the kind words! :) And I’m actually not currently watching much of anything, and haven’t been for the past few weeks, since we’ve been in the middle of what feels like the slowest, longest moving-house process ever. :P (Details about the move under the cut for those of you who are interested.) But here’s an incomplete list of TV shows I love, all of which have their flaws but I enjoyed anyway, in no particular order:
Leverage - It is the show of my heart and I recommend it to literally everyone who asks for a good show to watch. My mom and dad love it. My kids love it. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who watched Leverage and didn’t love it. WATCH LEVERAGE.
Elementary - I’ve been a Sherlock Holmes fan my whole life thanks to my mom, and this adaptation set in modern-day New York starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu is...also the show of my heart. I’ve rewatched the entire series at least six times now and I’m certain I’ll rewatch it again in future.
Stargate SG-1
Community - IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS YOU HAVE FAMILY.
Parks and Rec
Brooklyn Nine Nine - Yes, it’s cop propaganda. But it’s also a show I’ve enjoyed a lot, truthfully.
The Good Place
Superstore - I’m not caught up on this show, but it’s excellent.
Never Have I Ever - DELIGHTFUL.
Derry Girls - The dumbass teenagers on this show look and act like actual dumbass teenagers, and it’s set in the mid-90s which is when I was a teenager so to me it’s extra entertaining.
The Expanse - SUCH GOOD SCI-FI.
Farscape  - ALSO VERY GOOD SCI-FI. (See my WATCH FARSCAPE tag.)
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
Sense8 
The Umbrella Academy
Good Omens
Selfie - I cannot stress enough how very well worth your time and heartbreak it will be for you to watch the one season of this show that exists. (The heartbreak is because there’s only one season, the show itself is hilarious and smart and hopeful).
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries - This modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is technically a YouTube series, not a TV show, but it’s one I very much enjoy.
Dead to Me - I haven’t finished S2 yet but am enjoying it a lot.
The Great - is weird and wonderful. Elle Fanning deserves awards and Nicholas Hoult somehow makes me loathe him and love him at the same time.
Upload - An interesting premise, pretty smartly executed. We watched and enjoyed it! If there’s a S2, we’ll watch and probably enjoy that too. 
Lucifer - I love the characters on this show a lot. The plots are...uneven? But I do love the characters and the relationships, and it’s generally enough to make up for how I feel about the plots. (This show is based on the Neil Gaiman comics.)
One Day at a Time (I’ve only watched the first three seasons, the ones on Netflix, because I wasn’t able to access PopTV overseas. I’ve heard that S4 has been underwhelming so far, which is a bummer, because the first three were AMAZING.)
Jessica Jones - S1 was riveting and fantastic. (S2 was...weird. I don’t think we even watched S3; S2 left kind of a bad taste in our mouths.)
Chuck - especially the first two seasons, I loved. I haven’t rewatched this one in years, so I don’t know how it’s held up.
Veronica Mars - the first season is amazing. The second and third seasons are pretty damn good. The movie felt like a gift to the fandom. The books are entertaining. I’ve never watched season four so I’m pretending it doesn’t exist. The fanfic is truly excellent.
Castle - The first three seasons are really great. It sort of went downhill from there. I don’t think I even watched the last season.
Okay, that’s all I can think of at the moment and this list is long enough so I’m gonna end it there. I’ve definitely forgotten some shows but eh, that’s okay. I hope you found this list helpful, anonymous friend! 
If you wanted to know more about our move, keep reading
In early June, movers came to our house on base in Germany and packed up 98% of our stuff and hauled it away, and then we basically camped in our mostly empty house on not-very-comfortable base-owned loaner furniture and lived out of suitcases for four weeks. Then movers came to take the rest of our stuff---a few clothes, bedding, towels, dishes and cooking implements we’d kept behind---and hauled it away too.
That night we stayed at a hotel, and the next morning we got on a plane and few to Frankfurt and then to DC. Then we rented a minivan and drove the rest of the way, arriving, 19 1/2 hours after we left the hotel in Stuttgart, at a hotel near where we’ll be living for the next couple of years. Almost three weeks, some paperwork snafus, and two room changes later, we are STILL living in that hotel even though we actually had signed a lease on a house before we left Germany. So we’re going on seven weeks of being in a kind of moving limbo, and that’s not even taking into consideration the fact that we’re moving internationally during a pandemic, from a country that basically had things under control to a country where our national leaders are telling us that we’re all imagining the dumpster fire, and wouldn’t we like to send our kids back to school in the fall, where teachers are equipped with watering cans?
BUT anyway, we’re back in the States, for better or worse, and there are some good things and some frustrating things and we’ll deal with it all as best we can. And then we’ll watch some TV and cope through fiction. :)

Attention JJ/Pope Shippers!!
Warning: mature adult content beneath the cut.
So, I’d be really interested to know what kind of content all you JJPope / Mayward shippers out there would be interested in reading.
I’ve recently started writing for JJ/Pope (previous fics here). I know there are some amazing JJ/Pope fics out there, written by some really talented writers, but sadly there doesn’t seem to be any JJ/Pope smut [A/N: for the record, in my head I’ve aged the characters up a few years, so they are both 18+] (I might be wrong, but I haven’t been able to find any, and if there is, please point me in that direction!), so my question is: is that because JJ/Pope shippers don’t want to read that kind of content? Do you all prefer your fics a little softer? I’m thinking fluffy, innocent, wholesome goodness? Because if that’s the case, then I can totally take my writing in that direction!
But, somehow, I just can’t believe there aren’t more Mayward shippers out there, like me, that are hungry for some steamy JJ/Pope content! Because if that’s the case, then I’m more than happy to oblige with that too! *waggles eyebrows* Just tell me what you want baby, I want you to feel ~good~, my fingers are at the ready (over my keyboard, obviously! *cheeky grin*)
But seriously, I’m a safe space. Come whisper your naughty thoughts in my ear, lovely anon. I want to hear all the filthy, sexy things you think about these two gorgeous boys. The horny thoughts that make your stomach twist, that make you squirm in your seat, that set off that low insistent throbbing between your legs. Come whisper in my ear, lovely anon, and I might be able to write your fantasies into reality…
Or, you know, maybe that’s not your thing. Maybe I just need to go have a cold shower! Maybe you’d prefer to read something that makes that warm happy glow light up in your chest. If so, I want to hear about that too!
To get the ball rolling, I’ve jotted down a few of my own ideas below. These are nothing more than some half-formed thoughts at the moment, but just let me know if anyone would be interested in me developing any of these. Depending on the content, if these did go any further, I might take some of them out of my After the Rain timeline and have them as one shots (just so I don’t spoil the tone of that slow-build relationship development). But, yeah, these things take ages to write, so I want to make sure there’s an audience for them first.
Also, just to let you know, I’m new around here *waves* (and have a really tiny blog!), so I’m struggling a bit to promote my work and establish myself in this fandom. (HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has liked, reblogged and commented on my work so far – it really means more to me than I can say! And also apologies to my handful of followers for clogging your dash with multiple reblogs of my Master List while I try and boost it!).
Sooooo, if you’ve got this far down this post, and you feel like helping a new writer out, I would LOVE it if you could share this post, or some of my work, with your followers (my Master List is here). A shout-out or a rec from you would literally make me smile so wide the corners of my mouth would touch my ears. I know there are more lovely JJ/Pope shippers out there somewhere, but I don’t know where you are, and I don’t think you know I’m sitting over here in my dusty corner of the internet wanting to make you smile! 😞
So, anyway, that’s my plea and my plug done, now on to the prompts…
Fluffy ideas:
They give each other sensual massages – I’m thinking dim room, warm oil, slowly rubbing each other’s feet, strong hands pressing into the muscles of their backs, boyfriends looking after each other after a long day…
Pope comes out – Pope decides to come out to his parents, and they accept him and JJ with open arms.
JJ’s dad finds out he likes men too – little bit of angst, because Luke doesn’t take it well, but Pope comforts JJ and ends up making him feel safe and valued and wanted.
Cuddles on the sofa – soft eyes, warm hearts and lots of giggles.
Smutty ideas:
Massage with a happy ending - Similar to the massage idea above, but with more moaning and groaning and then they end up rubbing more than just each other’s backs.
Blowjobs – the hot, wet, urgent, I-need-you-right-now sort of thing. Shaking and bucking up, hands pressing on hips, steamy eye contact and then throbbing and pulsing and swallowing.
Rimming – the nervous, stomach-fluttering feeling of being touched ~there~ for the first time
Anal fingering – P-spot action, baby!! I imagine pairing this with a blowjob tbh.
Anal sex – How about: JJ bottoming from the top – straddling Pope, sinking down onto him and riding him slowly. Pope’s mind just blowing from how sexy JJ looks above him. Or, maybe on their knees, Pope taking control, panting and rutting and letting all that primal, cave-man energy overtake them. Or, first time anal: top!JJ and bottom!Pope, something both sexy and sweet as they explore each other in that way for the first time.
Or, trying some other deliciously kinky things together – edging, orgasm denial, tickle fetish, desperation, dressing up, toys, role play…
Or maybe we want to see some more classic fanfic tropes:
Soulmate AU/Bonding – pining and slow burn? Or maybe, surprise!-I’ve-been-bonded-to-a-guy-but-I-didn’t-realise-I-was-gay?      
Undercover relationship – probably speaks for itself, but some kind of slow, dawning realisation that they’re just idiots in love. Probably throw a bit of forced bed sharing in for good measure.
Gender swap (little bit ‘out-there’ but bear with me):
JJ/girl!Pope – him loving to bury his face between her legs, licking and sucking and savoring her sighs and moans. JJ loving giving his girl!Pope multiple orgasms. Slowly fingering her in the hot tub. Basically a lot of clit action. And P in V. Lots of that too.
girl!Pope/girl!JJ – yeah, just a couple of sexy lesbians – tongues and fingers and maybe a strap-on?
Pope/girl!JJ – I imagine girl!JJ would be just as snarky and sassy and definitely ‘wears-the-trousers’ in their relationship. I imagine them having sex against a wall, Pope holding girl!JJ up, hands wrapped around her thighs, pressing into her, her legs wrapped around his waist. And because of the angle, she has no leverage to press back and chase her own orgasm, she just has to hold on and let Pope take her there. And halfway through, I can hear her say jokingly, “If you run out of steam before I cum I’ll pummel you.” (Spoilers: he doesn’t.)
Yeah, so, there you go. I’ll just leave this here and hopefully it’ll find its way to the right people! 💙
[GENERAL DISCLAIMER: In anything I write, the characters are all 18+. I have never, and will never, write underage fic. I think it’s very important for me to make that completely clear.]

Leverage OT3 Recs: The Return
About two years ago, I made a series of Leverage OT3 fic rec posts that are still being reblogged in the fandom today. That’s great! But some really good Leverage OT3 fic has been written since 2016, so it’s time for an update, everybody!
a chair is not a house by greenurr (7,634 words)
An AU where the OT3 are not world-famous criminals, but manage to get together anyway. I love that this fic really delves into Eliot’s status as a war veteran and what that could mean for him. The sex is also scorching hot.
A Trio in Orange by ijemanja (1,664 words)
Just three really cute vignettes about the OT3 eating breakfast. Pure domestic fluff.
and sat him doon at her bed feet by takiki16 (1,875 words)
Three vignettes about each of the OT3 being a selkie, and how their partners respond to that. Quietly beautiful.
Birthdays and Blowtorches by page_runner
Eliot refuses to say what his birthday is. Hardison takes it as a challenge. Fluffy and very, very funny.
Eliot Spencer’s Good Day by Ramblingandpie (3,456 words)
Like so many of my fave OT3 fics, it’s established relationship, just a nice day in the life of Eliot Spencer. He cooks, he exercises, he gets a massage, he has great sex with his partners. It feels very sweet and everyday.
The Food Cart Job by page_runner (21,452 words)
This isn’t so much an OT3 fic as a rollicking romp of a post-canon casefic where it’s just taken as a given in the background that the OT3 are together. Peggy comes to Portland, befriends Eliot, and gets entangled in a food cart conspiracy.
For Morale by lbmisscharlie (5,179 words)
This fic is focused on the Eliot/Hardison leg of the triangle, but is still very much an OT3 fic. In this fic, Hardison and Eliot start hooking up casually in S3, then start to catch feelings, and then Parker joins the fray. It’s funny and sexy and the Hardison POV is so vivid.
If We Go, We Go Together by mardia (2,142 words)
An AU where Sophie, Eliot, and Parker are werewolves. Hardison makes it work with Eliot and Parker across species lines. It’s really cute.
In Bloom by celestialskiff (3,855 words)
The OT3, 15 years post-canon. They’ve gotten out of the crime game, dealing with middle age and the consequences of the job, but still loving each other and doing good in the world. Achingly tender and sweet.
Motion Parallax by Laughsalot3412 (8,606 words)
I liked this fic so much I recorded a podfic of it. It’s Amy Palavi POV on the OT3 getting together post-canon. It’s also a casefic where the OT3 have to help Amy. Satisfying on both the case and the romance fronts.
Solicited Noods by lynne_monstr (9,663 words)
Another fic that’s more of a post-canon casefic with the OT3 taken as given in the background. I love the easy way the OT3 work together and believe in each other.
Triptych by Thorinsmut (29,802 words)
Like all of Thorinsmut’s Leverage fic, this fic is so good, so hot, and slots very smoothly into canon. The OT3 get together, Eliot gets cold feet, and Parker and Hardison have to figure out why.
Volta by greywash (1,769 words)
A story about the Leverage OT3 aging, and what that means for Eliot most of all. I love how greywash portrays Eliot’s way of breaking it to his partners that he can’t fight anymore.
The Way Back by Raine_Wynd (36,890 words)
The OT3 are together, but Eliot hasn’t told his partners anything about his family. That is forced to change when Eliot’s brother gets into the kind of trouble only Leverage can solve. I really liked reading about Eliot reconciling these two aspects of his life.

Fictional Rec Friday (v.2): Emrys Ascending
Our second FRF! This week’s chosen recommendation is a beautiful Merlin and Harry Potter cross over fic that I’ve read at least 3 times despite it large word count XD
____________________________
Title: Emrys Ascending
Author: tricksterity ( @tricksterity )
Rating: Teen and Up
Tags: BAMF!Merlin, Reunion fic (kinda), Merlin goes to Hogwarts, Future Fic, Trans Characters, lgbt diversity, Magic Revealed
Ships: Merthur and FemOC/FemOC
Words: 110,864
Chapters: 26
Published: 2013-2016
Summary: 
In the depths of the Crystal of Neahtid, Merlin sees the resurrection of Lord Voldemort, an event that will tip the balance of the world so far out that only he has the power to intervene and set it right, or stop it from ever happening. For that, he'll have to pose as a student and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The only problem is, he's been chosen instead of Cedric Diggory as a Triwizard Champion, and there's a recently reborn Arthur Pendragon in Gryffindor House.

If you’ve never heard of a Merlin/Harry Potter crossover, you are soooooo missing out!! 
When I first found this, I thought I would give it a chance. I was never a big Harry Potter fan. Kinda was avoiding that fandom for a while. This fic though... this damn masterpiece proved me wrong with a large beautiful smack to the face. I thank it and will gladly get slapped again if it wanted to so.
Not only did this get me into the HP universe, but it also introduced me to the AMAZING BREATHTAKING ARTIST @mushroomtale-fanart 
I have the title picture for this story on a freaking pillow.
No seriously.
Look
Tumblr media
I don’t regret a single penny thanks.
Tricksterity might only have Emrys Ascending, but there will be quite a few other Mushroomtale appearances for FRFs in the future.
BUT ANYWAYS, I DIGRESS
The way the author seamlessly interconnects the two worlds makes me want to bow down to them. The attention to details, the way they describe each scene, ugh, it makes me all giddy just thinking back to it! The narration is a wonderful mix of both HP book’s and Merlin’s, giving it a well balanced and natural feeling for the tone and pacing. 
The humor is great, the OC’s are so lovable you can’t help but think they deserve to be canon, the actual canon characters are spot on, the interactions between everyone clicks perfectly, and the emotions hit you to the core.
If you don’t want to read it in English, that’s fine too! They have a Русский translation and in Español! 
It may seem long word wise, but trust me, once you get to the end, you’ll be screeching for more.
____________________________
I wish I was better at encompassing the outstanding perfection of Emrys Ascending, but I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it and go check it out!!
Next FRF will be posted on Oct. 11th and will be about Leverage (a TV Show)
