Hey everyone! Happy Fic Rec... Sunday. It's been a while, huh? Between travelling and work and general summer/pride month activities, I haven't had a ton of time to actually read fics and write up a rec post. Luckily, since I haven't been reading too much lately, I've had a
ton of stuff to catch up with, including

Length: over 8k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Pining, cream cakes, very tiny underpants, and the biting of beautiful thighs.
Link If you're not yet a member of the Taron Egerton's Thighs Fan Club, this fic may very well make you a convert. It's steamy and delicious, and certainly worth a read!Title: The Writing's On the Wall

Length: over 22k (complete, 9 chapters)
Summary: Someone's creating lovely artwork on buildings around London. Why does Kingsman care? Because the artist is including a tiny replica of the Kingsman symbol in every painting. Chester asks Harry to investigate, and along the way he is distracted by a lovely young man he meets in a coffeehouse.
Link This was an absolutely wonderful airplane read! While the actual identity of Rex is fairly obvious from the get-go (at least it was to me), it's really fun to see how everything plays out in the end. And how smitten Eggsy and Harry are for each other, obviously.Title: Still Right Here

Summary: “It’s like The Hunger Games,” Peter concludes, plopping to the ground, cross-legged. “But with aliens.”
“Kid, do I look like a person who read The Hunger Games?”
Or: Tony’s resurrected, but there’s a catch.
Link Oh boy, where do I start? First of all, LF's Starker fics are always a blessing. And here we have her signature ability to weave in the events of canon with plenty of ship material and some Big Feelings. Watching Tony adjust to Peter being an Actual Real Adult is a joy, and Peter trying to prove himself is both tragic and moving. Great material!Title: Whatever Is, Is Good

Ship: Merlahad, eventual Merhartwin
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Puppy Love, Established Relationship, Old Married Couple, Fluff and Smut, Secret Crush
Length: over 22k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Harry Hart should not be allowed within fifty feet of tiny runty puppies because he loses all reason. When he finds an abandoned teacup schnauzer searching for food in the bins, he immediately decides he’s going to be its mother and brings it home to love forever. Obviously he doesn’t stop to consider the fact that he’s out of the country more often than not so all the actual looking after is going to fall on Merlin, who has a deep disdain for people who make their dogs wear clothes and thinks anything smaller than a wolfhound is basically a pointless rodent.
Meanwhile, Eggsy is floundering on probation after grassing up Dean and his thugs in return for escaping jail time for his part in all their previous criminal activity. Life is looking pretty bleak, no money and no prospects - until he meets a ridiculous eccentric couple and their amazing little dog, and is hired as its nanny.
Contains deeply inappropriate use of the phrases "good boy", "bad boy", and "where’s your squeaky balls?"
Link Oh man, this fic is precious. I love the idea of Harry bringing a teeny tiny puppo home and Merlin reluctantly warming up to it. And I love this fic's characterisation of Eggsy as well! There's also a sequel out right now and hopefully a part three coming soon, but in the meantime, this fic is so much fun!Title: the internet was a mistake

Other Tags: Lepidopterist Harry Hart, Alternate Universe, First Meetings, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Fluff and Humour, Based on a Tumblr Post
Length: over 3k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Unsaid, but fairly fucking obvious in hindsight, was that Harry Hart did not have a lot to do in his free time to have delved that deeply into Eggsy's timeline, and that Eggsy might have wanted to consider that a lepidoperist with 53 Twitter followers might well notice picking up a new one with whom he was not personally acquainted and thus do some digging, and also that Eggsy was an idiot and the entire internet was a mistake.
Link This fic is a bit of an older one, but definitely one of my favourites! Eggsy being drunk and mushy on Twitter and Harry actually finding it charming? Hits the spot for some great, fluffy fun!Title: A Regular Rip Van Winkle

Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Crowley's Century-Long Nap, Discreet Gentleman's Clubs, Dancing, 17th Century, 18th Century, 19th Century, Louis XIV, French Revolution, Victorian, Fish Out of Water, Pining
Length: over 8k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: After almost an entire century spent asleep, Crowley wakes in 1888 to find the world more changed than he thought possible. His first order of business is to find his angel.
Also concerning the origin of the Baroque gavotte (spoilers: Aziraphale was feeling thirsty
Link OH BOY this fic! Crowley waking up from his "nap," Aziraphale joining 19th-century gay clubs, and a surprise appearance from a certain (very gay) author. This fic really has something for everyone: Prime series fans, book fans, and "don't make me choose" fans alike! Also 10 bonus points for writing it in the style of the original novel! This is a treat and required reading for all Good Omens fans IMO.Title: Excuse Me For Forgetting

Ship: Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau (I have just learned that their ship name is "Danbeau" and I love it!)
Rating: Explicit

Length: over 5k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: “This was a holiday, right?” she asked, pointing at a photo. She was smiling, bright and happy with Monica’s arms draped around her shoulders, opening something wrapped in yellow paper.
“That was your birthday,” said Maria. “The last one before the accident.”
Link God, I need more femslash in my life, and Captain Marvel was such a gift to lesbians everywhere. I love the process of Carol slowly getting her memory back, and the connection she has with Maria despite everything that's happened to her. This fic also features Carol bonding with the Skrull and honestly? I didn't know how much I needed that until I got it.Title: ready to run

Ship: Catradora
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Canon Divergence
Length: over 6k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: After the Battle of Bright Moon, the Horde leaves Catra for dead. Adora is the one who finds her.
Link Catradora is honestly my She-Ra OTP, and coz writes them both so well! Catra's reluctance to accept the Rebellion's help, and Adora trying to do right by her friend despite her crippling anxiety over her She-Ra duties play off each other SO well in this fic. I love it!Thanks so much for reading! Seriously, if y'all have any femslash fics to rec, please throw them in the comments section! (I'm sure y'all know what my fandoms are by now lol. But if you're unsure, just ask.) I have plenty more catching up to do, so hopefully we can have another big Fic Rec Friday next week!
