Favourite nba rpf recs? 👀

Woah who sent this 🤔 I wonder…

Anyways I’ll try to suggest some under the radar stuff (relatively)

make you feel my love by Iefe - Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen, its about the flu game from Scottie’s perspective. I thought the dynamic portrayed made sense for them and it was a good read!

That's My Guy by Malexander - tbh it's been a while since I read this but I remember liking it... Jimmy Butler/Goran Dragic (FLY HIGH) and a little bit of comfort I guess.

Not the Same by longwhitecoats - okay honestly this one isn't that under the radar. However, epistolary fic does eat so I'll include it. It's about Magic Johnson and Larry Bird over the years.

Roleplay (Smut) Masterlist

99 problems (and the dice ain't one) (ao3) - kellifer_fic steve/tony, clint/phil, bruce/darcy E, 10k

Summary: Tony's life is almost perfect. He lives in a converted warehouse full of friends (and one frenemy), has a job that leaves him plenty of time to think about other things and a regular Friday night campaign. If his best friend, Steve Rogers, hadn't moved away to New York and left him behind, then perfection would've been achieved.

Tony can roll with the punches though and he's almost all the way over that little bump in the road (shut up Bruce, he totally is) when Steve moves back, looking taller and broader and more confident than ever and Tony's left with a converted warehouse full of friends (and one frenemy), a job that leaves him plenty of time to think about other things, a regular Friday night campaign and the uncomfortable realization that maybe he's in love with his best friend and has been since he was sixteen.

and from my knees grew flowers (ao3) - yasgorl steve/bucky E, 14k

Summary: Bucky picks at the delicate fabric to reveal a silken black lining underneath. He holds it up in front of him and suddenly it’s like he can see himself looking at it, like he’s in a department store picking out his size, wondering if he should take it to a fitting room. He wants to hold it against his body, low on his hips.

Bucky drops the skirt like it's caught on fire.

“Uh,” he calls out, panicked and wavery.

Then he stops because he doesn’t know what to say now, or even that he wants to say it.

Castigatio (ao3) - justanotherStonyfan steve/bucky E, 13k

Summary: “So explain to me,” Steve says, “and I mean give me one good reason I should let you get away with that shit you pulled today.”

Doctor Feelgood (ao3) - notlucy, piglet_illustrations (thefilthiestpiglet) steve/bucky E, 10k

Summary: Things are practically perfect, as far as Steve’s concerned. He and Bucky are happy. Healthy. Working through their shit and living a normal life in Brooklyn. Said normality extends to their nice, regular, fulfilling sex life. Which isn't to say it’s perfect - maybe Steve has a fantasy or two he hasn’t shared. Certain proclivities he’s happy to indulge privately. Why bother Bucky?

It’s fine. Really. Until the day Bucky comes home early and catches Steve with his pants down. Literally.

Five Secrets Worth Spilling (ao3) - longwhitecoats clint/natasha, steve/natasha, natasha/thor, bruce/natasha, natasha/surprise E, 16k

Summary: Steve helps Natasha with some secrets she's been harboring.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait (ao3) - memorizingthedigitsofpi leo/jemma E, 12k

Summary: Mr Fitz and Miss Simmons are back again, and this time the focus is on pleasure instead of pain. Fitz has read up on something that strikes his fancy and Jemma is just as eager to try it out.

Honeymooning (ao3) - starrdust411 steve/sam M, 20k

Summary: Sam took a step back from the door, laughing quietly to himself as he rubbed at his eyes, pushing the frames of his glasses up to his forehead in the process. "Whoa, what are we doing?" He chuckled, shaking his head at how ridiculous he sounded. "I'm sorry man this... this is getting weird."

I Need A Favor (ao3) - EndlessStairway loki/tony M, 23k

Summary: Tony is desperate to save Pepper, he knows someone who can help, but what price will Loki, trickster god, sorcerer, enemy of Earth demand from Tony?

kept on the wing (ao3) - yasgorl steve/bucky E, 17k

Summary: “I just wanted to know if it was alright — to get you things,” Steve says, stiffly. He’s very still under Bucky, his hands on Bucky’s head and chest.

“Things,” Bucky repeats, flatly.

Kink Negotiation (ao3) - samptra steve/tony E, 10k

Summary: “Steve, I want you to know that no matter what I love you. I never want you to anything that makes you uncomfortable, or unsure.” His tone was serious, and his expression open and honest, this was his real Anthony Stark; loving and kind.

“This is kink negotiation, isn’t it?” Steve wished for the millionth time his voice wasn’t such a mess.

Anthony smiled at him brushing his hair back, tucking it behind his ears. “Yes, I guess it is,” he smiled at him softly.

Ms. Carter (ao3) - indiefic peggy/steve E, 27k

Summary: Steve Rogers is a former soldier, now an underemployed artist working for an escort service. Peggy Carter is too busy to date.

Pieces Form The Whole (ao3) - t0bemadeofglass loki/natasha E, 40k

Summary: Loki and Natasha decide to experiment with a few kinks they haven't gotten a chance to try yet.

Raise Your Glass (ao3) - minkeys steve/bucky E, 10k

Summary: Bucky knows Steve in ways that his 21st century friends could never even begin to imagine. Or at least, they couldn't until tonight. It's about time somebody corrected all those historians that painted Steve as a straight-laced, God-fearing soldier, and what better way to do it than over a harmless game of "Never Have I Ever." What's the worst that could be said?

Schooled (ao3) - hannahrhen loki/tony E, 3k

Summary: Loki as the naughty schoolboy. Tony as the stern headmaster.

The challenge? Keeping a straight face.

Start All Over (in a Little Bitty World) (ao3) - Dira Sudis (dsudis) steve/bucky E, 18k

Summary: Steve had been all of nineteen years old, frustrated with the obvious pretense of dominating Bucky when he barely came up to Bucky’s shoulder, even though they both desperately wanted it to work. He’d snapped, “This is stupid, Buck! I couldn’t really boss you around when you were six years old!”

Bucky, without hesitation, had said, “I’ll be five, then. Come on, here, I’m five.”

He’d folded to his knees and looked up at Steve for the first time with Jamesy’s eyes, spoke for the first time with Jamesy’s voice, and said, “Mister? I need somebody to look after me.”

Steve hadn’t always done the best job of it, but God, he’d tried, and he’d loved trying. He wasn’t ever going to quit trying.

Writing His Own Happy Ending (ao3) - LightningStriking steve/bucky E, 25k

Summary: Bucky Barnes is a writer. A gay erotic fiction writer to be precise. With a successful career, a questionably functioning computer, and an addiction to watching cat videos while eating Chinese food. Steve Rogers is an editor. Of many things, not least of all, Bucky Barnes gay erotic fiction. A working relationship that was working just fine for both parties. Until, after years of communicating purely via e-mail, the two men meet in person. And Bucky quickly realizes that Steve not only has a fantastic eye for detail, he's got a smile that could melt any heart, and a body any one of Bucky's fictional heroes would die to touch. A sentiment Bucky shares. So how does Bucky begin his immediate campaign to win his way into Steve's bed, and his heart? By playing to his strengths. In other words, by writing a new series of sex filled stories staring a muscle bound blond and a seductively enticing brunet. Any resemblance to actual persons purely intentional. If editing Bucky's steamy stories hadn't given Steve all sorts of inappropriate fantasies before, it certainly does now...

@longwhitecoats asked for Ed and Stede playing dress-up in the closet

(This is the inspiration for the color; Taika can also pull off pastels in case you were wondering)

--

The closet is familiar to Ed now, but it remains just as marvelous as when he first laid eyes on it. On the quiet part of long voyages, they spend hours picking through the frocks and trying them on. Stede, unsurprisingly, prefers classically styled attire in pastels that flatter his fairer skin. So it’s a bit of a surprise when Ed spots a flash of color behind the winter garments and pulls it free.

“Where’d this come from?” It’s a bright peach outer coat in a light fabric (Stede would know what it is) that definitely does not belong where it was found. 

“I do not actually know,” Stede says, coming up next to him. He frowns a little, trying to remember. Ed does not attempt to distract him from his ruminations, but only just. 

“It’s not really your—” Ed waves a hand at the rest of the wardrobe, a pale rainbow of muted colors. 

“Indeed not. I suspect I would look extremely washed out or blotchy in a shade this vivid. Possibly both.” The horror of contemplating this is evident on his face, and Ed laughs. 

Stede looks thoughtful for a moment. “Why don’t you try it on? I’m sure it would look absolutely stunning on you.” 

Looking in the mirror, Ed sees Stede is correct, as he always is in matters of fashion. Stede is fussing with the back, noting where things should be taken in or let out. So Ed is a little surprised to feel Stede’s hands on places the coat does not touch. 

“Assessing for proper fit means we also need to know how it comes off,” Stede murmurs in his ear. Ed never expected the Gentleman Pirate to be quite as arch as he is, and he loves it.

“I will definitely show you how,” Ed says as he backs Stede against the wall. 

When they actually make it out of the closet, the crew agrees that the coat does indeed look very good on him.

We always learn so much when @that-wimpy-cowboy-doll comes to Shipper City.

Watchmen has been many things: a graphic novel, a deeply flawed Zach Snyder movie, and the absolutely flawless perfection of the HBO series.

Spoilers abound, but if you haven't seen the show yet, you are in for such a treat and you should definitely do that before you listen to either this episode or the original mini-episode that Em recorded on her own (episode 144).

Do you have any good food kink or feeding kink recs?

Here are some recs:

Food For Thought by DarkmoonSigel, sku7314977 [words: 28,559]

When Hannibal discovers that Will hasn't been eating, he takes it upon himself to fix the profiler's eating habits by bringing him home for a number of intimate cooking lessons.

Trifle by Petronia [words: 1,703]

“The texture is suggestive, yes,” Hannibal said. “One might say a game of allusions, which is not unusual in the pastry arts. Consider the shape of a cream puff: plump, cloven in half, and generously filled for display.” “Éclairs are phallic,” Will said, faintly. He realized, with humiliation, that his legs had reflexively fallen open as well.

Mine to Touch by piginapoketuesday [words: 13,534]

"You respond so well to hand feeding," Hannibal said, watching Will's hips squirm. "I'm considering binding you for every meal."

Consumed by longwhitecoats [words: 7,036]

t’s a mess, a goddamn mess in Hannibal’s kitchen, it’s like watching a pagan priest pour out an offering and it’s like being a piece of meat about to be burnt in the fire

Movie Night in Paris by AVegetarianCannibal [words: 3,678]

It’s time for a cuddle on the sofa and chowing down on junk food. Can Hannibal handle Will’s taste in bad movies and even worse snacks?

I kinda wanna hear more about your deep-dive into the BDSM hannibal tag on AO3?👀 Anything you'd recommend?

So this was partially instigated by getting a request over at @findhannibalfics for D/s stuff that had Hannibal in kind of an emotional/executive function support dominant role but was nonsexual that I couldn’t answer to my satisfaction at the time.  A few dozen hours in the tag didn’t really turn up anything that fit that bill, but I had a good time anyway!

I think my favorite thing that I came across was probably the Staccato series, by longwhitecoats.  It’s rare for me to really enjoy fic written prior to season 3 airing because there was just so much added to the characterization of Will and Hannibal and their relationship in seasons 2 and 3, but this worked for me (with the caveat of having to accept the basic premise, of course, which isn’t something I think of as realistic for s1-era Hannigram, but doesn’t break my brain).  Hannibal’s got a sex dungeon instead of a murder basement (but he’s still the Ripper), there are to-my-mind believable trade-offs between Actually Almost Reasonable BDSM Practices and things that are sketchy/unsafe but that they’d totally do, and the Aesthetics of the final vignette are just... they’re great.

The Gentle Dom Will series by strangestories is another one I definitely enjoyed.  (The main fic is a WIP that hasn’t updated since 2018, but what’s there is pretty satisfying, imo.)  It’s post-TWOTL Murder Husbands and otherwise, what it says on the tin.  

I turned up a lot of vampire AU fic that I was kind of surprisingly disinterested in?  I generally think most things are better with vampires, but for whatever reason not so much in this fandom!  I saw a fairly substantial number of vampire and/or werewolf AU fics in the tag but didn’t get super excited about any of them.  But having said that, I remember Love, Blood, and Rhetoric by damnslippyplanet as being really good on that front.

And here’s another one that’s not actually in the tag, but could easily be, and I really like it: Altruism, by tei.  (Post-TWOTL, Hannibal spanks Will to sleep, basically.)

“All right,” Crowley said, suddenly reaching forward. He grasped Aziraphale's wrists and pulled them away, to noises of consternation. “All right. Here's what we’re going to do. You want me to do what I do bessst?” He flicked his tongue out, and Aziraphale nodded weakly. “Then you don't,” he said. “You hold yourself back. Don't let yourself do it.”

The Great War

One hundred years ago at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the armistice agreement was signed between the Allied Forces and Germany bringing peace to the Western Front and ending the war. 

Unsurprisingly, given its importance to many of the story lines and characters in the show, there are many fabulous fics that mention the War to end all Wars. For this post I’ve traced the journey of the 14th Battalion (Melbourne), 4th Brigade, New Zealand and Australian Division/Australian 4th Division of the Australian Imperial Force and chosen stories that mention some of the Battles the 14th were involved in.

The 14th Battalion of 1,023 men was raised in Melbourne in September 1914. They left Australia in December and reached Egypt in January 1915.  In Australia 39% of men between the ages of 18 and 44 fought in World War One, all of them were volunteers.

Chapter Four of @rositalg's War Stories, Waking (2016-2018) – Concerned when he doesn’t come home for dinner Phryne goes looking for her Inspector and finds a gathering of the 14th Battalion at his house. 

The Gallipoli Campaign, Turkey (19 February 1915 - 9 January 1916) 

This was the 14th’s first engagement. As part of the 1st Division ANZACs, on the 25th April 1915 they took part in the ANZAC Cove Landing. They also fought in the Second Battle of Krithia, Chunuk Bair, Hill 971 and Hill 60. Lance Corporal Albert Jacka of the 14th was the first Australian to earn a Victoria Cross after holding a trench single handedly during a Turkish counterattack. 

Chapter One of Universal Truths (2018) by @ollyjayonline – The 6th Battalion (Victoria) is under the command of a world weary British Major who, along with his loyal Captain, is doing his best to keep as many of his men alive as he can. Fifteen years later Jack remembers a long forgotten warning.  

Jack’s War (2018) by akraia – Jack is in the 23rd Battalion (Melbourne) who joined the Gallipoli campaign in mid-August. With the 24th Battalion (Victoria) they took over the defence of Lone Pine from the 1st Division in September 1915 and were subjected to constant shelling. Almost half of the Australians involved in the taking and defence of Lone Pine were casualties. The Australian Dawn Service is held at Lone Pine on the 25th April every year.  

The number of wounded on medical ships, the surrounding Greek islands and the Australian hospitals in Cairo far outweighed the medical supplies and accommodation that were available. 2,800 Australian nurses served during the war, initially at Cairo then after the evacuation they were re-posted to No.17 British Military Hospital in Alexandria. 

Chapter Two of War Stories, Sisters in the Park (2016-2018) by @rositalg – Jack and Phryne come to the aid of a woman who served in Alexandria.

The 14th was shipped back to Egypt in December 1915 and reorganised to combine veterans with the men fresh from Australia before becoming part of the 4th Division. As part of II ANZAC they were assigned to the defence of the Suez Canal from Turkish invasion. Then the French losses at the Battle of Verdun, France (21 February - 18 December 1916) made it clear that more men were required on the Western Front.

The Battle of the Somme, France (1 July - 18 November 1916). 

In June 1916 the 14th was reassigned to I ANZAC and sent to Armentières where they raided German trenches.

Stand-To for the 5,533 (2016) by LauramourFromOz – Fromelles (19 - 20 July) was the first battle of the AIF on the Western Front and was fought by the 5th Division. It included the 14th and 15th Brigades from Victoria. This fic starts with Jack being shot as he tries to keep a promise to a friend. In 1929 he is reunited with the Australian nurse who risked her own life to save him and helped him to fulfill his promise.

At Pozières (23 July - 3 September) the 14th relieved the severely depleted 2nd Division just in time for a German counterattack. In disarray the Australians were overrun and it looked like Pozières was lost when, the now Second Lieutenant Jacka led a desperate charge of seven men on a large group of Germans that had rounded up forty Australians. This inspired the prisoners to rise up and engage in hand-to-hand combat. They repelled the attack which was the last attempt of the Germans to take the village. Jacka, wounded seven times, received the Military Cross. I ANZAC was then assigned defensive duties over the bitter winter, with the arrival of spring though they began a series of patrols along the front line.

The Battle of Arras, France (9 April – 16 May 1917) 

On the 8th April Captain Jacka, now the 14th’s Intelligence Officer, led a night party on reconnaissance to the German line obtaining valuable information and putting in place guides for the assault parties. The 14th attrmpted to take the village of Bullecourt (10 - 11 April). There weren't enough tanks to destroy the barbed wire and miscommunication meant they had limited artillery support so, though they briefly held some German positions, eventually they were forced to retreat.

Nocturne (2015) by @gaslightgallows​ – Jack tells Phryne about meeting a soldier injured at Vimy Ridge (9 –12 April) whilst he was recovering in a convalescent home and how a shared love of music kept them both sane.

Third Battle of Ypres/Passchendaele, Belgium (31 July - 10 November 1917) 

The 4th Division was at Menin Road (20 September), Polygon Wood (26 September), Broodseinde (4 October) and then the rain turned the battle-scarred fields into mud in which men and horses drowned. To make things worse mustard gas was used for the first time. There were 1,250 Australian casualties at Poelcapelle (9 October), followed by complete disaster when the ANZACs attempted to capture Passchendaele (12 October) suffering 7,000 casualties.

Entrenched (2018) by Scratch_Pad – Beautifully interweaves Jack’s experiences throughout the episodes with his memories of the war.

A Love Story (2018) by @ollyjayonline​ – Jack is on his way to England and Phryne, when he diverts to Ypres to lay to rest old ghosts. There he is reminded that life truly is for the living. 

In November 1917 the five Australian infantry divisions became the Australian Corps and from then to October 1918 the 14th was engaged in almost constant action.

Battle of Cambrai, France (20 November - 8 December 1917) 

America joined the war in April 1917 but their first engagement with the enemy was 30 November when the 11th Engineer (Railway) Regiment were attacked whilst they were digging reserve trenches.

Silk, Smoke, Sky (2018) by QualiTea - Phryne coaxes a damaged ambulance past shell holes and smoking metal to get wounded soldiers to the hospital.

Coded Expressions (2016) by @omgimsarahtoo – Jack is contacted by an old war buddy and finds himself in the outback looking for answers to something that happened in February 1918 on the outskirts of Cambrai.

The Spring Offensive, France and Belgium (21 March – 18 July 1918) 

The 14th fought in Operation Michael, France (21 March - 5 April) at the village of Amiens, France.

Learning By Heart the Ways of the World (2016) by longwhitecoats – In the build up to the First Battle of Villiers-Bretonneu France (30 March - 5 April) Phryne finds herself on a mercy mission in an ambulance, fortunately she is not alone.

The Hundred Days Offensive (8 August to 11 November 1918)

The 14th were again at Amiens (8 - 12 August). The attack began at 4am in dense fog and by 8.20am the 4th Division had breached the German lines.

In October 1918, along with all the other Australian troops, the Battalion was withdrawn from the front line and demobbed in November. Over the course of the war the 14th had suffered 915 deaths and 2,229 casualties.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

We will remember them.

C: A music shop that has somehow managed to hang on by its fingernails through the streaming revolution. He staggered in after Bowie's death, and again after Prince's. 

"Nobody's eternal, mate," the proprietor said. 

"It doesn't mean I need to be reminded of that," C replied.

@/katiegeeks Commercial air travel

You'd think Crowley would have invented basic economy, but even he has his limits. (Charging for exit rows, however, was all him.) 

Aziraphale is profligate with miracles on long flights. Babies don't fuss, nobody snores or drools on their companions.

@/marginalia62 Tea

You'd think A was the one who would be fussy about the tea, but no, C has a whole ritual. Loose-leaf, steeped properly with water at the appropriate temperature. ("Do you know people used tea bricks as currency, angel? Show some respect!")

Sometimes A just leaves the tea bag in the cup to get cold. Of course it tastes awful, but somehow it doesn't bother him enough to make a fresh cup. (Also he puts so much milk and sugar in it you can't taste the tea.)

It is at these times C absolutely regrets his life choices.

@/ludi_in_space breakfast!

C is not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. If he's up before noon it's toast and coffee/tea.

A loves breakfast and breakfast food (unsurprisingly). He thinks brunch is a bit silly but will put up with it so he and C can eat together
