Crystal beads and blanched bones were strung along the canyon walls and across rocky arches. They clinked together in the frigid forever night air.

Her path was well worn by this point with how many bodies she had drug through there. This corpse was no different.

Jewel drug the mass with little effort.

The fire ahead awaited her. The growls in her gut led the way.

She cleaned and prepped the body, pulled all of her icy chunks and needles out of it.

Cut, gut, salt, spear.

She placed her kebabs around the fire, like clockwork.

A change in the breeze immediately caught her attention. Her bone masked face whirled in the direction of where it was.

The mass of white fur connected to the bone caressed her skull. The energy felt warm.

Black clawed hands curled on sight when Jewel spotted her high up on a ledge.

Disappearing in a Shunpo, she reappeared above Jo with a kick aimed for her dome.

[angelbury]

now francis' taste buds aren't what they used to be. since her turn, they have shifted, human food is far duller than something like blood. that doesn't stop her from indulging in a nice meal then and again. especially from a small owner -- as a bakery owner, she understands the importance of support for small businesses. though, there's some interesting vibes from some of the patrons. not that she would do anything, but it's a mental note for her to keep her guard up. ❝ can i ask you your recommendation? ❞ head cocks, a small smile making its appearance, ❝ i'm not picky, like at all, so i trust you wholeheartedly. ❞

“Nice to meet you!! I guess I technically am. I’m Z-187 but just call me Realta!!”

*Realta seems friendly:)*

" How interesting. There seems to be far more...residents here than I once thought. "

"Well Realta, do you need anything, or are you just here to talk? "

CA's interest has been piqued, despite their expression.

the ultimate BDSM AU fic rec list

it’s finally here y’all! this list is split up by fandom, and fics are grouped by pairing. i tried to get as many actual AUs in here as possible, but the pickings are slim (4.4k works total, 132 in BNHA, as of writing) and there are some really good fics out there with similar tropes/themes that aren’t exactly AUs.

so here’s 21 fics and a whooole lot of words for your reading pleasure.

BNHA fics

Softer Side by Phantoms_Echo

bakudeku, oneshot, 11k

very sweet no-smut, no-powers gang AU where bakugo protects deku from a rival gang and they fall in love.

We Wear Chains on the Weekends by surveycorpsjean

bakudeku, 6 chapters, 35k

bakugou finds deku dropping after a scene and immediately becomes his dom in order to treat him like he deserves (totally platonically…).

Deku is a Bunny and a Nuke at the Same Time by TheDandiestLion

bakukiri, oneshot, 2k

deku and bakugou set each other off thanks to some complicated dynamics and kirishima comes to the rescue. i actually discovered this today and it almost reminds me of how i write deku in this AU. but not. just trust me <3.

i can be needy (way too damn needy) by hiuythn

bakukiri, oneshot, 6k

not the AU, but bakugou is struggling with insecurity and the switch in his social standing after coming to UA. kirishima notices. it’s basically 6k of very soft praise kink, what more can you want?

Surrender by deviance

bakukiri, 2 works, 17k

unfortunately archive-locked. a great excuse to register as a user! but very similar energy to the above fic. bakukiri are roommates and bakugou starts a routine of kneeling for kirishima for stress relief. v sweet

Experimental by StratsWrites & whiskeyandspite

tododeku, oneshot, 7k

todoroki and deku do a scene together, totally platonically and only out of necessity…except for the part where neither of them actually wants it to be platonic.

red lips, red ropes by orphan_account

dabihawks, oneshot, 4k

dabi starts dropping after a scene and goes to a league meeting anyway, attempting to act normal. it doesn’t work, but hawks comes to the rescue.

King by useless_donut

shinbaku, 7 works, 62k

shinsou comes back from a hellish undercover mission and falls into a BDSM relationship with bakugou, heavy emphasis on the s/m. definitely one of my faves on this list, but very intense even if there’s sweet for all the sour.

Hard Reset by Lemon_drop_lantana

shinbaku, 2 works, 34k

shinsou has a huge crush on bakugou. then he wakes up in bakugou’s bed with no memory of the night before. miscommunications and relationship troubles abound! sort of a lighter, sweeter version of the King series.

The Purple Kitten by Erasercat95

shinsero, 2 works, 14k

shinsou has always been pushed to be dominant in past relationships, and it’s getting to him. sero helps fill the hole. good old hurt/comfort.

To Find Love Again by RohanBerry

erasermic, 31 works, 164k

a series of vignettes set in a BDSM club AU, featuring aizawa trying to heal and reenter the BDSM scene after an abusive relationship. mostly smut at first but eventually gets some solid angsty plot.

for something as sweet as pain by Anonymous

aidekushin, oneshot, 40k

HOLD ON JUST TRUST ME. aizawa is aged down to be a year older than deku/shinsou, and everyone is an adult/pro hero. also, sorry, bakugou bash fic. after he ignore deku’s safeword, deku runs right to aizawa and shinsou. if you can get around those things, this is another of my faves.

Marvel fics

y’all might not know that i used to be a huge marvel fan, and from 2017-2019 my experience on ao3 was all marvel and 90% stevetony. so a lot of my early forays into fanfiction and this au were in this fandom, so they get a whole section.

held series by romanoff

stevetony, 9 works, 61k

a series of oneshots following steve and tony navigating a new relationship and both of their (but mostly tony’s) past trauma. technically, the series remains unfinished, but the hurt/comfort is worth it.

From You I Cannot Hide by SailorChibi

stevetony, 32 chapters, 66k

tony drops unexpectedly, revealing to steve and the rest of the team some of the scars from his abusive past relationship. this is like, the second fic i ever bookmarked on ao3, years and years ago.

Deep End by FestiveFerret

stevetony, 16 chapters, 62k

project rebirth happens in the modern day, and is supposed to turn sub!steve into a superdom. instead, he ends up stuck deep in subspace, and tony is called to pull him out, sparking a relationship between them.

you great unfinished symphony (you sent for me) by ketchupcrisp

stevetony/polyvengers, 60 chapters, 262k

mcu!infinity war!tony falls through a portal into a BDSM AU where tony stark was killed a year prior, and finds his place in the new world and the established poly avengers.

the Trinity universe by cinaea & windsweptfic

stevebuckytony and philclint, 3 works, 284k

the first two fics focus on bucky, natasha, and clint, who are all submissives and infamous hydra agents until they escape during an avengers attack—and bucky turns out to be soulmates with both tony and steve. the third fic focuses on clint going on an undercover mission for shield and meeting phil, who is already undercover there.

It’s Our Pleasure by NotEvenCloseToStraight

stevebuckytony, 15 chapters, 71k

steve and bucky rescue tony from his terrible boyfriend and help him back on his feet. everyone falls in love in the process. some very cool worldbuilding that i would love to take inspo from for traditional dynamics in FLFverse but i’m not quite there yet.

Pavlov was a Jerk by BeneficialAddiction

philclint, 22 chapters, 78k

tbh i only remember like chapters 2&3 but past me apparently liked this fic. anyway, clint is struggling on his own as a sub. phil notices after a mission goes wrong and starts to help him. cue romance!

Other fics

we all fill up with time by interropunct

the raven cycle, adamronan, 8 chapters, 55k

ronan and adam meet in a BDSM club and turn out to be very compatible. adam also turns out to be the lawyer helping ronan sue his shitty ex (kavinsky) for stealing his writing. hey are we seeing a theme re: relationship trauma yet?

Take Clothes Off As Directed by helenish

stargate atlantis, johnrodney, oneshot, 11k

i know i already recced this in FF notes, but it’s back! the og dystopian BDSM AU! john and rodney start a relationship together, interspersed with flashbacks to john’s past as one of the few subs in the military.

i aimed to have more fics in the “other” category, and i cant help but feel like i’m missing some that i’ve read. shockingly, i don’t know all of the fics ever yet. and i’ve been at this for like, two hours and i need to move on with my life so here it is for now! if i come up with other fics later, i’ll update this. in the meantime, happy reading, and don’t forget to leave comments and kudos!

SARASTUS: THEY MIGHT HAVE EXAGGERATED JUST A BIT.

'on the contrary - i, for one, am rather impressed,' ezekiah had been on the search for the warrior of light for some time. and though he had perhaps been picturing a massive viking of the sun, sarastus was nothing less than dignified. besides, ezekiah wasn't one to judge anyone by how they may look. standing up tall, his hands momentarily clasped behind his back, he glances over sarastus before bowing his head in a sort of greeting. 'regardless of what has been said, it is a pleasure to meet you. i am ezekiah, paladin of mishkal, goddess of the sun,' humble grin is given to the warrior, happy to ( finally ) be in her presense. 'i have been searching for you. i hope you do not mind,' @sarastuss.

[regencis]

missive from @proditeur: don’t tell me you’re one of those women with radical ideas.

'oh no, of course not. god forbid any woman have a mind of her own,' sarcasm drips from prudence's words, glancing at regulus with a knowing stare, her small yet cheeky grin matching the likes of his own. 'or even a brain inside her head to have regular ideas, let alone radical ones. by which, of course, you mean wanting to live a life without relying on finding a husband, or making her own money, as well as spending it how she likes,' had anyone else said such a thing to prudence, she surly would have given them a piece of her mind. but she knew regulus was joking. riling her up for fun. she gives him another look before she buttons her overcoat, grabbing for her parasol next. 'men have far more radical ideas than women, i assure you. we are simply chastised for it, while you are praised. tell me - what is it like to be so privileged?' her smirk grows just so as she begins to walk past him.

✧ ˚ · . ✦  › @gunbash — ❛ i wonder who lived here.  ❜

                    centuries of experience took form in this very moment , steeling every dimple on his face to ensure nothing was given away. masking emotions with indifference was one skill he spent years mastering. it wasn't how he expected his lunch hour to be spent ; his fellow peer gesturing to the location upon the newly released article. ruins dating back over one thousand years have been discovered , a town not far from the supposed location of camelot.

                    merlin wanted to inspect these findings with privacy , yet couldn't turn away one of his few friends at the university. thus , the company was welcomed. he cleared his throat , staring at the images with memories flashing before his eyes ; motherly arms embracing the joy of her child. they left as soon as they came & merlin managed to ground himself in reality. instead , he shrugged it off & opted to let his history degree take the fall. ❛ couldn't say.  ❜ a beat , arms folding with supposed thought. ❛ if you can guess , i'll buy the next round of coffee. what do you say ?  ❜

"You look like your everyday traveller, but how can I be sure?"

     His eyes trail down. His eyes trail up. Down from that glossy hair and pretty face; up from that dress that might not pop in colour, but sure stands out with its rather immaculate hemming and texture. Aidan looks down again. Back up. "Everyday traveller," the lady says, like she could beat him in a competition of looking completely ordinary.

     He has to wonder how impressively unimpressed a show his eyebrows make as they climb into the cover of his fringe.

     "Am I being accused of somethin' here, ma'am?" he retorts, half-annoyed and half-amused. She must be, in some part, a noblewoman: if not in looks, then definitely in bearing. Figures she'd read him offering a hand — sorry, his peasant hand — to help her up suspiciously. There's almost a temptation to retract it, but principle keeps it held out. "If I was going to be nasty, I'd be doing it right now while you're down, yeah?"

[angelbury]

francis is no stranger when it comes to bars. she's pretty sure the cinnamon whiskey she drinks is practically a perfume at this point. part of the bar scene comes with socialization, but she takes an interest in him for a reason she can't explain. there's something about him that practically smells interesting. not in a saw you from across the room and liked your vibe kind of way, though it may come off as that. she's bored and just wants a little fun. ❝ you smell like you've been pregaming. ❞ she leans against the bar, grin plastered over her features, ❝ can i buy you another one? ❞

"Wait, wait! Don't look! Don't look! You can't look at my right eye!"

There is genuine panic in their voice - moving to try and cover up what the fallen eyepatch has exposed with their hands. It's not a matter of being self conscious about their heterochromia - but they weren't ready to take on a master they hadn't even met before-!

Gah! This damn wind! Why here?! Why now?!

"My eyepatch-! I need to find it ! It's really really important!"

Because even if they'd been too late covering their eye with their right hand - they didn't want to start marking everyone they came across for death!

"when were you going to tell me the truth?"

[revengesworn]

Mikey can feel himself shaking.

He hates it. This weakness - this fear and the heart-pounding terror that, at times like these,  always emerges from so deep in his core that it feels like it defines him. He’s supposed to be strong. How can he be a leader when he can’t carry the people he loves through their pain and beyond? He can barely even manage to stand on his own two feet, let alone protect the people he cares about.

He’s always been weak, and he’s always hated the weak. The weak can’t do a thing. If they just tried a little harder, fought a little more, then they’d be able to protect themselves and the people they love... but they don’t even try. The weak make excuses, and bring nothing but misery to those around them, and there’s no-one out there weaker than Mikey.

He can lie, and deny it to himself, but... at times like these, he knows the truth.

But that doesn’t mean he’ll accept it. No matter how much it hurts, he’ll stop his body from shaking and put a smile on his face as if nothing is wrong... because Baji deserves it, after all - he’s the one who really suffered here.

As he enters the hospital room, Mikey feels his heart come to a stop. It’s just for a moment, as he sets eyes on Baji - who’s alive, he’s not dead; oh god he could’ve died too - but a barely-strained smile forms on his face regardless. He’s scared, because he doesn’t know if Baji will be happy to see him. But..

“Baji. ...You really scared everyone, you know.”
