I am quite sad this author only has one fic; this one is hilarious! It focuses on the banter between Vega, Cortez, Joker, and Shepard with an exasperated Liara in the mix!

Jim is just the average, everyday, Starfleet-brat boy genius. His time is split between the mostly-Vulcan engineering crew and raising hell on the rest of the ship. If anybody (including Jim) knew the details of what occurred during his first trip to Vulcan, they wouldn't be surprised.

THE UNIVERSE AND HUMAN STUPIDITY

The Universe and Human Stupidity by respoftw (AO3)

Summary: Rodney blinked stupidly at Elizabeth. Well, not stupidly. He's the smartest man in two damn galaxies after all - nothing he does could possibly be classed as stupid - but right at that moment he could be forgiven for feeling a little slow because he could have sworn that Elizabeth had just told him that his son was going to be 'gating back to Atlantis with Major Lorne's team.

Rodney suddenly has to deal with the surprise arrival of his son on Atlantis, all while dealing with his problematic attraction to one John Sheppard who looks far too good with a kid on his hip for Rodney to handle.

Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard (Stargate Atlantis)

Rating: Gen

Status: Complete (8/8)

Warnings and Tags: Kid Fic, Getting Together, Fluff and Angst

Our lovely @buffycuddlespigs is at it again! This is such a wonderful kidfic, with dad!Rodney (and eventually dad!John), and mini McKay is so adorable!

Pairing: Kara Danvers/Cat Grant (Supergirl)

Rating: Gen

Status: Complete (1/1)

Warnings and Tags: Drabble

Another lovely fic by @inspectorboxer. You can practically feel the tension between these two.

On a side note, I want to apologise. I won’t be able to update as much as I used to be able to (and I want to apologise again for being random on that). I don’t have access to wifi like I used to.

LAID TO REST

Laid to Rest by mauzymom (AO3)

Summary: After the chaotic mess that had been V-Day, everyone's got to learn to get back on their feet, right? Finding out Harry's alive does wonders to that end for Eggsy - that is, until ghosts from the past rise up to ruin it all. How could Harry not have seen this coming? Archnemeses that can't stay dead seem to come with the territory of being a spy.

It's too bad that this particular ghost isn't one of Harry's... It's Eggsy's.

Pairing: Harry Hart | Galahad/Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (Kingsman: The Secret Service)

Rating: Explicit (NC-17)

Status: Complete (24/24)

Warnings and Tags: Arthur!Harry, Alive!Harry, Fix-It, mentions of past non/dub-con, Mentions of past prostitution, past rent boy!Eggsy, Past Child Abuse, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Hurt/Comfort, Recovery, mentions of past underage, Graphic Violence, Angst with a Happy Ending, Attempted Sexual Assault, Consensual Sex, Barebacking, Explicit Sexual Content

Please read all the tags before reading this fic.

My mind was just absolutely blown away by this fic. It was just a brilliant ride, from start to finish.

A HEART THAT’S BEATING SOFTLY

a heart that's beating softly by tinyphrases (AO3)

Summary: Her mother would laugh, tend to her scrapes and bruises, and also to that one bone that she broke while chasing the neighbourhood boys, who had called her some mean name that Jess could never remember. Even with all her scrapes and bruises and that one broken bone, her mother would never tell her otherwise. Because Jessika had been born with wings, wings full of strength that didn’t want to be suppressed.

About finding home and keeping it safe.

Pairing: Jessika Pava/Rey (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

Rating: Teen

Status: Complete (1/1)

Warnings and Tags: None

Wonderful, wonderful character building, and it's Jess x Rey. An absolute great fic.

EARNING HER STRIPES

Earning Her Stripes by TheHatterTheory (AO3)

Summary: Tattoos can be intensely personal. They can show clan loyalties, family ties, and sometimes they serve as reminders that the wearer is more than she appears to be.

Rating: M

Status: Complete (1/1)

Warnings and Tags: Tattoos, Body Modification, tebori, Romance, Sex, Art, Painting, Oneshot, Complete, Canon Compliant, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

Oh my gods, I cannot believe I forgot about this one! I love the art of tebori and I'm glad the author used it in this fic. Kagome, of course, is also wonderful in this story, with how she brings the Fuedal Era to life in the mordern one.
