(Thank you so much to my auction-winner for being so flexible with me submitting this a few weeks late; it's been a hell of a year, and you've been so supportive. FTH brought us together, but your kindness and sense of humor and overall fabulosity are what's made us friends.)
Link
Fey is an absolute sweetheart, and she totally knocked this one out of the park! Oliver and Elio are perfectly in character, and she does a great job playing with the setting as well!

Link
I have no excuse for this. I like Geralt and Jaskier and I'm horny. You guys know the drill by now.

(Written August, 2013.)
Link
Theresa actually introduced this one to me through her Man From UNCLE fic nuclear winter, which uses a similar premise (consider that a bonus rec for this installment). I just absolutely love it! Sirius being into muggle rock music is SUCH a great idea, and Remus is so well-written here!

Theresa has been working on this fic for so SO long, and I'm so happy to see her finally post it! Seriously, the idea is so fun and clever and meshes SO well with the film!

Summary:It's yet another lovely year for the Yuletide Exchange, and there's a horrible goose wandering the internet.
Or: How the Goose Stole Yuletide.
Link
This fic is so brilliant! I love Untitled Goose Game, and seeing a meta fic where the Goose messes up various fandom spaces is beautiful! Definitely super fun!

Title: unbalanced
Author: paintinggraves
Fandom: The Witcher (TV)
Ship: Geraskier
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: Dub Con
Other Tags: Porn Without Plot, Prostitution, Different First Meeting, Blow Jobs, Brothels, Dirty Talk, Destiny, Backstory
Length: over 7k (incomplete, 2 chapters)
Summary: "How does a common, uneducated whore know about witchers?"
"Everyone knows about witchers," Jaskier replies. "You have a reputation. And our clients babble a lot, especially when drunk."
-
Geralt chooses a male prostitute for the night. Jaskier is beautiful, intriguing and... unpredictable. Things don’t quite go according to plan.
Link
So this one was originally published as a one-shot, but the author is going back and adding some backstory as to how Jaskier ended up in this brothel, and it's SO good, y'all. Seeing Jaskier as young as 18 is such a neat change of pace, and I'm SO excited to see where this fic goes!

Happy fic rec... Sunday, I guess. Sorry, it's the week before break, so I've been a busy little bee. Another light week this week, this week, with four recs instead of five, but they're all really awesome!

Title: Here Be Writers
Author: wanderingnork
Fandom: Fantastic Beasts
Ship: Gradence
Rating: General Audiences
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Coffee Shop AU, Meet-Cute, Writer Credence, Secret Agent Graves
Length: over 2k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Credence Barebone, author, and Percival Graves, secret agent, should never have crossed paths. But at Kowalski's Bakery and Coffeeshop, they do just that.
What results is something of a fairy tale.
Link
Let it be known that I'm incredibly weak for Nork's writing style. They normally write very hardcore well-researched historical fic, so this is a nice change of page for them. And certainly not an unwelcome one! The coffee shop atmosphere is very cozy, and there are some great twists with both Credence and Graves' occupations that I refuse to spoil for you. Absolutely lovely!

Title: Spill the wine and take that pearl
Author: feyrelay
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Ship: Starker
Rating: Mature
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Fluff, Getting Together, College Student Peter, Age Difference, Sickfic
Length: over 3k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Peter's old enough to know what he wants, but not old enough to know all his cues.
Link
Don't @ me, Starker is a good ship!
In all seriousness, Fey captures so much of Peter and Tony pitch perfectly. Peter's relative inexperience, gen Z charm, and fanboyish nature. Tony's inner demons and his desire to still be a good person. And they play off each other brilliantly!

Title: The End of a Bloodline
Author: bellowbacks
Fandom: Harry Potter
Ship: Scorbus
Rating: General Audiences
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Coming Out, Malfoy Manor
Length: over 1k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Scorpius has known that he's gay for years now, and he's never been one for secrets. So, during the holidays of his sixth year, he decides its time to tell his dad.
Link
Oh boy, this fic is just short, sweet, and ever-so-charming. It's just some sweet Malfoy family fluff with some Scorbus thrown in. Cursed Child may have been a disaster, but if we got Scorbus and fics like this out of it, maybe it was okay.

Title: By the Sea, By the Sea
Author: GremlinGirl
Fandom: Star Wars
Ship: Kylux
Rating: Explicit

Ben especially, he finds, acts peculiar and speaks of things that are impossible. However, he is caught in his sway, and Hux has to play along to escape the island and get back to his ordinary life.
Link
Oh boy, where do I start with this? First of all, I love me some Kylux. And I love me some mermaids. And I love me some porn. Here's mermaid porn with Kylux and a surprisingly sweet ending. I love it!
