My Sladick Fic Rec

(aka an ongoing list of all my fav fics)

safe harbor by greeneyedfirework

He’s in a hostile city, with a bounty on his head, injured and alone. He needs a place to hide.

slipping by greeneyedfirework

Nightwing wants information off of a mobster’s phone. Deathstroke wants a flash drive. Both are located in an upscale BDSM club. Dick has a bad feeling about this.

extraction by greeneyedfirework

Taking over the rival operation was so much easier with Deathstroke the Terminator.

captor by greeneyedfirework

Dick wasn’t expecting Luthor to arrive for his daily gloating with a guest.

plunder by greeneyedfirework

The ship Dick’s being held prisoner on is attacked. By the Deathstroke. Right before Dick is supposed to go into heat.

eye of the storm by greeneyedfirework

Watching them is like observing a hurricane.

unmarked by greeneyedfirework

Dick has some run-ins with a family of hunters.

silver bird by greeneyedfirework

Dick didn’t know there was a werewolf pack nearby, and he certainly didn’t expect them to stumble upon him gathering wolfsbane.

caught by greeneyedfirework

Dick is the new leader of the dragonriders and his dragon has to take a mate.

heavy lies the head by greeneyedfirework

“Hello, little bird,” Slade Wilson smiled down at him. “Or is it Your Grace now?”

parry me by greeneyedfirework

Dick is brimming with restless energy.

bargain by greeneyedfirework

"Get us out of here, and I'll spend a day in your bed."

crumpled paper by greeneyedfirework

Five times Adeline Kane disapproves of Nightwing, and one time she understands.

as though i had wings by tospreadthewingsofthesoul

Bruce is back from the dead, and Dick isn't coping well. In fact, he's barely coping at all. It feels as though everything in his life is falling apart. So of course that's when Slade decides to reappear in Dick's life and turn everything upside down. A story about learning to ask for what you need, how to hold your boundaries, and how to trust that the people you love love you enough to help.

light and frolicsome by tospreadthewingsofthesoul

Glimpses into Dick and Slade’s relationship. (companion piece to “as though i had wings”)

hold on to let go by roipecheur

The first time Dick met Deathstroke the Terminator, he was twelve years old, and the mercenary broke his leg and tied him up on a rooftop. In retrospect, Dick thinks it started there. Or, Slade keeps tying Dick up over the years, and Dick can't be blamed for getting his wires crossed.

for the right price by roipecheur

The morning after Dick's life falls apart (again), he wakes up to Slade's gun in his face and a ten million dollar contract on his head from an anonymous client. Searching for the culprit might just take them closer to home than they thought.

trails like smoke by wednesday

“Is there a reason you’re here?” Dick asks, curt, because the shoulder that got the worst of the damage is a constant low thrum of burning pain. Trying to wrap the wounds is proving to be exactly as annoying as he expected. More, actually, since he now has to do it with an audience. “Here in this room I rented. For me. My room, in fact.”

take the offer that wasn’t made by wednesday

“That’s not what my contract is about.” Slade sounds out of breath, but not angry; if anything, he sounds smug. Dick’s thoughts screech to an unexpected halt. The arm around his neck tightens, making him lightheaded. And for the first time since Dick found out Deathstroke had taken a contract in his city, Dick feels real panic, like white noise spreading through his veins. There’s a sting right above the collar of his costume, and Dick spends the last ten seconds before the tranquilizer knocks him out drowning in waves of fresh fear.

Night Is Young by wednesday

Dick imagines a little chime when that final timer ticks down to zero and the file transfer finishes. He almost sighs in relief. And before he can pull the drive out, a soft click at exactly his six o’clock stops him.

Break the Fall by wednesday

Getting rescued does not make Dick's situation better, not at first.

Black Gold Blues by wednesday

The gut punch is what gets him. Dick knows all the ways to tense and relax correctly to take any kind of hit with the least damage to himself, but that only works when he’s prepared, when he sees the hit coming. He does not see it coming, when one of the henchmen in this drug operation turns out to be on some Venom knock-off.

in every end (we start) by wednesday

At first, when he gets dragged downstairs and towards a metal door that screams cell, he’s relieved. They’ll leave him alone and he’ll be out in no time. Easy. Then the badly suppressed fear and nervousness of the alpha guard a few feet away from the door registers. Followed by the impressive blood splatters on the floor and walls.

no stopping (’til I break every rule) by wednesday

Dick can hear Deathstroke lazily walking down the line of handcuffed, terrified hostages trying to shuffle back even closer to the wall. He already knows where this is going. There’s not enough time to decide which would look less suspicious—looking up or not. Slade grabs Dick’s hair and pulls him up, leaving him no choice but to move forward until he’s kneeling at Slade’s feet. He can hear shuddery sighs of relief from the other hostages and can’t blame them.

with your best shot by wednesday

Dick and Slade, sitting in a cage. Decidedly not doing anything as pleasant as kissing.

ain’t lived if you’ve got no regrets by wednesday

Around the time he’s trying to decide if some friendly chatting would make his chances of escape better or much worse, something smashes through the roof of the warehouse. Someone, he realizes just a moment later. Before that someone even hits the ground, Dick recognizes him and regrets the lack of a panic button an order of magnitude harder. Because he can definitely feel some panic right about when Deathstroke starts shooting while still airborne.

Safest Place in the World by Skalidra

Being an international spy is a dangerous job, but not nearly as much as hunting those spies down is. When Dick needs a place to lay low for a little bit, and bandage a few wounds, there's really only one place he knows of that's far enough off the radar. Luckily, he's got a key.

Deals in the Desert by firefright and Skalidra

On the eve of the Garage's final battle with Luthor, Dick spies a familiar face out in the desert. Someone who could be enemy, ally, or something in-between, depending on how he plays it. Lucky for him, Slade turns out to be in a talkative mood.

Resolute in Resurrection by firefright

It's rare that a new immortal is born. Rarer still, that they already have a prior relationship with an existing one at the time. Dick has no idea what it is that's happened to him, but Slade is absolutely going to make sure he finds out.

I’ve Killed Very Many Fathers, You’ll Have To Be More Specific by walkerofthestars

Nightwing is kidnapped by an enemy of Deathstroke because they’ve noticed the two teaming up a few times- enough times to think they must at least be friends. However, unfortunately, they’re a bit more than that, so they basically just signed their death warrant.

truce until daybreak by Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine)

It's dark in the room, but not dark enough that Dick can't make out the familiar splash of orange, the distinct shape of Deathstroke's armor, taking up more than half the bed.

I want to lay here (lost and bitter) by withthekeyisking

Dick doesn't know why his marks vanish so quickly, what that means for the wounds his soulmate carries, but his mama (and then Alfred) tells him not to worry. Slade doesn't know what made his soulmate go from regular bumps and bruises one day to actual injuries the next, but he's going to kill whoever's responsible for it.

Hidden Treasures by withthekeyisking

Nightwing gets kidnapped by a group of people who intend to sell him to the highest bidder. Much to Batman's surprise, Deathstroke comes offering him a way to save his boy, apparently free of charge. The question on everyone's minds, however, is why?

Jarring Inertia by withthekeyisking

Nineteen years ago, the mercenary Slade Wilson came to the aid of King Bruce Wayne, a partnership that ended in the winning of the Great War. His price for this help? Someday down the line, Slade would ask the king a question, and the king would have to say yes. King Bruce, a man of his word, begrudgingly agreed. Prince Richard, now just celebrating his twenty-second birthday, comes face to face with the fact that even in deals he wasn't a part of, everything has a price.

By Vigor and Resolution by withthekeyisking

When King Bruce agreed to an arranged marriage between one of his children and King Slade of Grevemort to form an alliance, they all assumed the chosen child would be an omega. None of them knew that King Slade's tastes ran far more towards alphas, and that lack of knowledge is really biting Dick in the ass.

all the fire i've swallowed by wingdingery

After the dragon Ravager died attacking Gotham, Dick knew it was only a matter of time before others came seeking vengeance. He also knew what he had to do when they arrived. Trading himself in exchange for Gotham’s safety is the easiest choice he’s ever made.

a safety net of thorns by wingdingery

Dick’s night is already a nightmare—Blockbuster’s learned his identity, putting Dick’s friends and family all at risk, and Dick is desperate to find where he’s hiding before it’s too late. The last thing he wants to do right now is deal with Slade Wilson.

a knife, baby, edgy and dull by cheju

Slade’s presence should be unsettling, and it is – don’t get him wrong. But it’s also finally something happening, a chance for Dick to work off some of this tension. He’d be lying if he said a part of him wasn’t itching for the fight he knows is coming.

listen to teeth by cheju

Dick's failing his mission, can't get out of his handcuffs, and guess who walks in the door. Just fucking guess.

somebody's going to emergency, somebody's going to jail by perissologist

Dick’s mouth is dry. He doesn’t know why he’s so shocked. It isn’t like he didn’t know that Slade is a contract mercenary. A killer, to the fullest extent of the word. It’s just that—while Slade might have been the bane of his existence when he first struck out as Nightwing, recently…Dick can count more times that Slade’s helped him than hurt him. And he thought Slade was better than this.

your marks on my skin by Ana_Writes

And there- there was a mark, on the inside of Slade's hand, one that Dick never noticed- No. It's not that Dick didn't notice it. It just wasn't there before. But now- Now, after they touched- "No." Dick breathed out, breath leaving his lungs in a rush as if he got punched. He dug his nails into the skin of his neck and barely felt it through that weird burning sensation that didn't want to stop. "Why-"

leash by envysparkler

Dick is sold to a werewolf pack.

Bite Down Into Me by EveryDarkCorner

Vampire!Slade is a seductive menace. Unfortunately, he's also the only one who can protect Dick from Ra's al Ghul.

Bitch and Moan by EveryDarkCorner

The new Vigilante Reform Act has made superheroes illegal. Luckily, Slade can protect Robin. Unluckily, he has stipulations.

You All Over Me by brazenlyunabashedlyshamelessly

“I had it handled.” “Really? ‘Cause from where I was standing, it looked like you were getting your ass kicked.” “Yeah, well, you’re blind in one goddamn eye, I’d expect you to miss a couple details.”

melancholy (snap out of it) by Anonymous

Dick knows that voice. He recognizes it even before Deathstroke helpfully turns the lamp on with a loud click! and allows himself to be seen, casually lounging on the cot, legs crossed at the ankle.

Everything He Should Never Be by TimmyJaybird

Slade comes home early from a job, and a simple "I missed you" is enough to make Dick rethink everything they are- and whatever he had first thought they would be.

I'll continue to add more to this list as I gain more favs!!!

[petroltogo]

Because you can never have too many fic recs, here's three great fanfics I've read or re-read recently:

Come Together by @mhwrightwrites (Katekyou Hitman Reborn, multi-chaptered, incomplete): I adore pretty much everything about this fic. From the way the author approached the Tsuna-has-a-brother trope to the relationship between Kyoya and Tsuna in this which is just chef's kiss, let me tell you. Just. Hibari is simultaneously so in-character and also grows so much. As does Tsuna. And it's one of those fics you can absolutely read even if you aren't really into any romances. Also I adore Takeshi in this. The fic isn't finished, but that doesn't make it any less of an enjoyable read.

The Sum of Their Parts by holdmybeer (Harry Potter, multi-chaptered, complete): I adore this fic. And not just because it gives us a rising Dark Lord Harry with supportive Ron and Hermione by his side either, but because I consider it a much more realistic look at the fallout after Book 7 (ignoring the epilogue like I often do). Like the fact that Voldemort's death didn't magically fix the entire corrupt system. It's also gen which I really appreciate. And a couple of Flitwick's quotes just about gutted me. But anyway, I'm fine.

silver bird by greeneyedfirework (DC, Oneshot): I'm an absolute sucker for the enemy-to-caretaker trope. And this one -- an AU with werewolf!Slade and Mage!Dick -- is a beautiful example of that trope. The whump. The miscommunication. Slade's viciousness. The resolution. I just love their interactions in this fic.
