VegasPete Fic Rec List (Part 2)
Favorites marked with a (*)
A Close Shave by @fleet-off | 4k | M *
The bathroom walls feel claustrophobically tight, and Vegas’s stomach is a ball of leaden frustration poised to turn molten. He wants to shatter the mirror with his fist, to yell at Pete to stand up straight, to curse his uselessness--just another one of Vegas’s failures.
The razor sits on the edge of the sink.
This was a bad idea.
Vegas gives Pete a shave.
another one of my all-time favorites! the tension! the pete saengtham messy bitch agenda! i've been spending a lot of time lately screaming in fleet's comment boxes, and you should too!
somewhere between the heart and the vein by @veliseraptor | 20k | T
In the aftermath of the failed coup, Pete has: an unconscious and possibly dying Vegas Theerapanyakul, a whole lot of feelings to work through, and no job.
He goes from there.
another recovery fic, another lise fic, you literally cannot go wrong.
begging to bleed by @veliseraptor | 10k | E *
Vegas is trying to be good. Pete's getting a little fed up with it.
His staged intervention produces positive results.
yet another lise fic! PWP of the highest order. PWT, if you will. porn with themes. big fan of pete knowing what he wants <3
Finders Keepers by @veliseraptor | 3k | T
Vegas was supposed to kill Pete. Vegas has not killed Pete, and it turns out that is working out pretty well for him.
Up until Kan discovers the safehouse's extra inhabitant.
pure angst. don't look at me. i left this thing with shell shock and new sources of anger
Brand Recognition by @iffervescent | 6k | E *
Vegas wants his top billing back. Pete likes being on the bottom.
porn star AU PWP. feminization. electrotoy. need i say more?
won't give up these ghosts by @fleet-off | 7k | E *
Vegas lays him on a patch of firm ground. From his cocoon, Pete hears the rhythmic thud of a shovel sinking into loose earth.
Vegas is digging him a grave.
In which Pete finds playing dead relaxing, and Vegas decidedly does not.
this may genuinely be my favorite vegaspete fic of all time. it's literally perfect and there is nothing else like it on earth. read it. read it right now. let it awaken something in you.
swinging from the willow tree by incendir | 2k | T
Every single ingredient is here. Vegas rolls up his sleeves and gets to work.
[Or, the first step in starting over]
vegas cooking fics are my weakness
Bite the Hand by @ghost--houses | 1k | E
The second Vegas uncuffs Pete from the headboard, Pete grabs for Vegas' left hand and pulls it into his mouth. He says nothing, he doesn't look at Vegas, just puts his teeth to Vegas' skin and keeps them there, gnawing.
subdrop fics are. also my weakness
Fidelity by @veliseraptor | 2k | T
Vegas visits his father's grave.
father-son angst my beloved. again, kinda character-study oneshot
Five Year Itch by puckbaes | 78k | NR
Pete has everything he could’ve dreamed of, a husband that loves him and a family to call his own. It’s perfect, until the day it isn’t. What do you do when you find out the love of your life is one of the most prominent mob bosses in Bangkok? Turns out, clean breaks are notoriously difficult when you have a son together.
A getting back together fic featuring mafia!Vegas, shared custody of Venice, and Pete’s inability to stay away from danger.
i usually don't stray from canon universe with vegaspete to be honest, or at least not too far from it. this one's fluffy it's angsty she's got it all. i really thought normie!Pete was gonna be a deal breaker for me, but i actually really enjoyed this and i think it's really well done.
And that's a wrap! My collection's always growing, so part 3 at some point probably lol. Once again, if anyone knows more of these authors on tumblr, please tag them! Enjoy and scream in my asks about them (and don't forget to leave kudos and comments for the lovely authors!)

good evening alina i'm kissing you on the forehead!!! mwah!! 🥰
18) The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?
Hmmm I think this prize goes to the one (1) non-KinnPorsche fic I wrote this year!! When I was writing Pause I found it quite difficult to get into Pran's head and get his voice right, especially because the entire premise of the fic was about him starting to step outside his emotional comfort zone, so balancing what I wanted to do with the story with how hesitant he still is to verbally express what he's really feeling at that point in the Bad Buddy timeline was, comment dit-on, a bit of a challenge!!!
29) Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
I think there are two contenders for this title!! If it has to be from a published fic, then I think it would be this line from The Artistic Merits and Goals of Pornography, which is EASILY also my favourite fic I've written this year overall (mainly because the world needs more Arm/Tankhun TBH TBH):
"By now, Arm had spent enough time and attention deciphering the way that Tankhun’s words tended to swirl giddily through meaning rather than allowing themselves to be constrained by it that, sometimes, interpreting even his wildest pronouncements came as easily as breathing."
HOWEVER. My number one favourite passage I've written this year is this nonsensical little snippet from the unpublished Chay & Tankhun besties agenda WIP that I've been working on not working on since August:
“Oracle,” Tankhun confirmed, with a vigorous nod of his head. “The Oracle of Bangkok, Khun Tankhun Theerapanyakul. Or - the Oracle of Thailand? Maybe I should broaden my horizons a bit more.” He paused for a moment, frowning. “Arm! Do you think my horizons are sufficiently broad?”
Arm raised an eyebrow. “I think your horizons can safely be described as the route between this mansion and Hum Bar, Khun Nu. If you wish to broaden them, I’d appreciate if you could give me a few days’ notice to work out an updated security protocol.”
Tankhun huffed out an affronted sigh. “Metaphorical horizons, Arm! In my newly-discovered capacity as a sacred vessel for esoteric knowledge and prophecy!”
30) Biggest surprise while writing this year?
I am still absolutely bamboozled by how fast a few of this year's fics managed to write themselves, while others took 5088275 years. There were four fics that I wrote in a single day each??? Most of those were tiny but til the daylight comes or i'm dead and gone was nearly 4k!! And then, of course, there's the fact that I wrote and posted any fic at all, which I haven't done as consistently as this since 2019 - or arguably 2012 tbh. Honestly it was so lovely to have fun writing again!!
Ask me about the fics I wrote this year!!
