Fanfic Friday: This Month We Party at My Place

[shy_magpie]

Okay then, as you know Bob, ineptshieldmaid has been kind enough to host Fanfic Friday for the past couple weeks. This month I am going to take over as host, and I hope some of you will be willing to host for our little circle in future months. If I have this right, all I gotta do is share a few fics with you guys along with why I picked em, and ask you guys to share some fic with me. PLEASE let me know if I could do anything better.

I liked this one for its world building and being innovative with what sex can mean for shape shifters.
Sequence
By NeurotropicAgentX
Fandom: The Venom Movie
Status: Complete
Author Summary: I’ve never encountered anything like those blades you formed during your hunt, Venom sent, carefully, cautiously.
I acquired them on a mission. There’s a lot of interesting information to be found out there. Riot’s close-range chemical messages carried strange accents of complex biomolecules Venom had never felt before. The taste was a clear indication of just how much of Riot must have been shaped by past hosts and alien genetic information from beyond the stars. Venom wanted.
Show me? it asked.
My Synopsis: Venom meeting Riot before the events of the movie. They exchange information, somehow this extremely porny for beings that don't really have genitals.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut

Pairing(s): Venom/Riot;
Sex: None/Gen fic; HOT; really damn Xeno though so whether it is actual sex?
Violence/Blood & Gore: Riot hunts down an animal
Drug/Alcohol Use: none;
Consent Issues: Venom braces for a rough time, Riot is very much in control of the situation without the safety of D/s culture
Other: Did I mention Xeno? cause yeah
The next fic isn't actually one I read recently but is one I want to shove at anyone who ever liked an AU of Supernatural.
The Nature and Kynde of a Lyon
By whit_merule
Fandom: Supernatural
Status: Complete
Author Summary: Castiel ought to have been prepared for this: for the sight of Dean in the flush of his first heat, aroused and potent and so very possible. But he’d never expected for it to happen so far from home. This part of the business – Dean aroused but ignorant, uncertain, the transition from child to a confident desiring adult, who would look on Castiel and grin that grin of his but with something new and knowing behind it, who would reach for him with desire – this was always meant to be Gabriel’s. It was the alpha who had to forge that creature out of this molten mass.
My Synopsis: Set in a unique world of angels where the alpha is the leader of the flock, with a couple betas and a whole lotta omegas. Takes place some time after Gabriel has taken over the flock, largely to protect them from their previous alpha. Dean goes into heat, wants Castiel rather than Gabriel to be his first. V hard to describe without spoiling or going into more detail than anyone wants, for more than that read it.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut

Pairing(s): Castiel/Dean Winchester; Castiel/Gabriel (Supernatural); Gabriel/Dean Winchester; Balthazar/Gabriel (Supernatural); Gabriel/Everybody; Balthazar/Castiel; Lisa Braeden/Castiel;
Sex: HOT, some incest
Violence/Blood & Gore: A weird kind of chase and scuffle as Cas tries to get Dean to hold out until they can get to Gabriel. Brief description of how Gabriel killed the previous alpha. Blood play.
Drug/Alcohol Use: I don't remember for sure if they drink alcohol
Consent Issues: past rape, past child abuse, underage, everything that goes with fuck or die heats
Other: ABO; D/s, read the warning and endnotes at the site.
In a hurry so I hope you'll forgive me for just posting the A03 share for the next entry
Captain Fantastic and the Pineapple King (30628 words) by buckyfuckybarnes

Fandom: Captain America - All Media Types
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary:

Shit.
She hadn't noticed him yet. Maybe he could turn and leave without them noticing – Sam would understand. Sam was the most empathetic person he knew. He wouldn’t scold Steve for coming home spice-less to avoid an awkward encounter with an ex. Surely.
They drew closer.
Fuck.
Please don't notice me, please don't notice me, please don't notice me...
"Steve?"
Fuck.

In which Steve is saved from his ex in a grocery store, Bucky Barnes is Way Too Chill about absolutely everything, and Sam has had enough of all of these goddamn pineapples in his fucking house.

Or: The five times Steve received a pineapple (and one Piña Colada) and the one time he didn't

Summary:

Several years ago, Slade's son Grant died competing in the Hunger Games, and the boy who killed him, Dick Grayson, became the Capitol's new favourite plaything. Now, seeking the means to undermine the totalitarian government that called on his son to die in the first place, Slade needs access to the secrets its high-ranking citizens seek to hide. Secrets that Dick, with their tentative connection and the justification Slade's position as a high ranking peacekeeper gives him to call on the boy, is in the perfect place to supply.

All Slade has to do is give him the right motivation.

Great variety here! If you could host in February, I would be grateful. I will see about making a master post with links to each past fanfic Friday and an official list of who is hosting each month soon. Do you think I should make a guide how to host or is it fairly clear from watching ineptshieldmaid and me?

[novembermond]

Yep, I can do Feb. Honestly I'm pretty sure I can wing it BUT I think you're very good with expalanatory posts so I think you should do one anyway so we can reference it later? If you're up for it.

[shy_magpie]

I will try to remember but not worry to much if it isn't ready before February first.

I just read that Loki groundhog day story, and I really liked it! The writing voice was great.

"It had not been his fault. This time. Not directly. How foolish had he been to think his words were all that had decided her fate? One sentence of direction versus thousands of other variables. None of which he knew. How arrogant of him to think his words were the lynchpin."

ugh...what a gut punch. ^__^

[novembermond]

I know right! Time travel is hard to pull off, like everyone has a good idea to start with but you also need the right execution and ending and this fic here excels at it imho. And it has all the right delicious words.

... I suck at describing fic which is why my recs are always so short, haha.

[dendriteblues]

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of this one:

Say Goodbye to Yesterday (111713 words) by melonbutterfly
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki/Tony Stark, Jane Foster/Thor
Characters: Loki (Marvel), Tony Stark, Thor (Marvel), Nick Fury, Natasha Romanov, Phil Coulson, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Odin (Marvel), Frigga (Marvel), Fandral (Marvel), Sif (Marvel), Thanos, Pepper Potts, Jarvis (Iron Man movies), Bruce Banner, Sigyn (Marvel), Chitauri, Maria Hill

Summary:

The day after the invasion Tony wakes up and his tower is intact again; everything is exactly the way it was before this whole mess went down. It doesn’t take him long to catch up but he can’t figure out why he’s in a time loop – so he does what anyone would: fuck things up while trying to find a way to fix this. Somewhere along the way, his priorities change and suddenly he finds himself involved neck-deep in Norse family drama, along with some other stuff.

Time loops are really fun when they're done right.

[novembermond]

I'll check that one out, thanks.
