Purimgifts is my favourite exchange and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to participate this year!

Sorry this is late. Figuring out my schedule has been A Time. Also I was very drunk during a large chunk of this weekend, whoops. Don't think I'll be pulling a stunt like that again any time soon bc I'm SUPER behind on my school work.

Another light week this week, partially due to the aforementioned drinking and the longfics I'm still trying to finish up reading.

Title: Driving Westward
Author: slutpunk
Fandom: Star Wars
Ship: Kylux
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: Dubious Consent

Length: over 8k (1 chapter, complete)
Summary: “You got a name?” The driver’s voice is deep.
“Hux.” Hux winces. He had a plan, a fake name all picked out that would be unremarkable, but he’s so nervous it just slipped out before he had a chance. “What about you?”
“Call me Kylo.”
At least he can remember his dumb fake name.
Link
I don't have an excuse for this. It just checks off a lot of boxes for me.

Title: echoes in eternity

Content Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Sexual Coercion (with eventual mutual consent)
Other Tags: Cyberpunk AU, Gladiators AU, Area Battles, Bathing/Washing, Body Worship, Scar Worship, Angst, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Master/Pet (sort of), Porn With Plot
Length: over 2k (1 chapter, incomplete)
Summary: All of this should be entertaining, but Credence does not care for such elaborate shows of strength.
Normally, he prefers the fights he watches to be over fast; the bloodier and the quicker the better.
Dragging out a fight is equally tiresome as being at a dinner party, or a board meeting with his company trustees.
The announcer's voice booms out through the artificial speech enhancer, and Credence’s ears perk up.
Someone out for redemption. A man with a haunted past. Percival Graves. Why does that name sound so familiar?
"...a Contender."
Link
God I'm excited for the rest of this fic! Credence has some Big Grandmaster Energy going on, and I love love love Gladiator!Graves. Not too much of this fic has been posted yet, but I'm really excited to see the rest of it!

Title: A Beginner's Guide to Communing With the Dead
Author: suspiciousflashlight
Fandom: Supernatural
Ship: Destiel, background Jessica/Sam
Rating: Mature
Content Warnings: Author Chooses Not to Warn
Other Tags: N/A
Length: over 77k (14 chapters, complete)
Summary: Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.
Link
This is a stunning mystery with some really clever urban fantasy elements. I'm so here for witch cop Dean and his infinitely-powerful justice spirit boyfriend. It also uses the canon cast SO well, and I'm genuinely impressed!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of a fic rec Friday last week. I checked and I literally read one (1) fic all week because of my finals. So here's six for this week to make up for lost time, and hopefully I can start doing some longer recs in the future now that Dobby is a free elf!

Also I've been browsing the works for hurtcomfortex, so a fair number of these are going to be anon. Not one I participated in, but sometimes I like to browse completed exchanges to find some new reading material.

Title: Between the Rain and the Sun
Author: almostannette
Fandom: Call Me By Your Name
Ship: Elio/Oliver
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Underage Drinking
Other Tags: Soulmate AU, Modern AU, Street Musician Elio, First Kiss, First Date, First Time, Non-Graphic Sex
Length: over 17k (complete, 6 chapters)
Summary: Soulmate!AU
Elio lifts the handkerchief away from his nose and gives it a critical look. He blinks, once, and holds the handkerchief out to Oliver. “Please tell me you see it, too,” Elio whispers.
The blood on the handkerchief that he’d expected to be dark, almost black...it’s not. Oliver has never seen the color before, but he knows its name. Blood is red, that’s what he’s been taught at school. Blood is red, but only for people who've met their soulmate.
Link
Oh man, Call Me By Your Name is gonna be the hill I die on, isn't it? It's been a year and a half since the film came out, most of the fics in the AO3 tag are either RPF or crossovers, and yet I refuse to move.
This one was actually a reread, which was prompted by seeing some My Own Private Idaho gifs on tumblr (that's the gay movie with Keanu Reeves that inspired the fic btw).
Annette's work is still as lovely as ever. The characterisation is on point, the prose is lovely, and the darker topics are handled tastefully. A great piece from a great writer that I'm proud to call my friend!

Title: Days, Weeks, Months, Years
Author: Anonymous (to be revealed once h/c exchange is over)
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Gen (but focuses on Aziraphale and Crowley's friendship)
Rating: Mature
Content Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Other Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Torture, Aftermath of Torture, Panic Attacks, Mental Breakdown, Captivity, Angst
Length: over 2k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: It’s hard to tell how long he’s been in Hell.
It’s harder still to remember how to live above of it again.
Link
What's this? A new addition to the fandom list? Yup! I've actually been a huge Good Omens fan since my freshman year of high school (and a Neil Gaiman fan since fifth grade), but for whatever reason, I don't read for it very often, and I've never written for it.
This fic is heartwrenching, honestly. More focused on the hurt and its aftermath than the comfort because of everything Crowley has been through, but it all serves to justify the end of the fic, where you can feel the weight lifting off your shoulders. That's a lot to pack into a couple thousand words, but it's a great read.

Title: Better Than Imagination
Author: Anonymous (to be revealed once h/c exchange is over)
Fandom: Venom
Ship: Symbrock
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Not Actually Unrequited Love, Sleep Deprivation, Self-Esteem Issues, Eddie Brock Needs a Hug, Fear of Heights
Length: over 2k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Three times Eddie worried about screwing up his relationship with Venom, and one time Venom eased his mind.
Link
We love some comforting!Venom in this house. That's it, that's the commentary.

Title: Pegged
Author: AsbestosMouth
Fandom: Game of Thrones
Ship: Braime
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Other Tags: Pegging, Strap-Ons, Modern AU, Fluff and Smut, Oathkeeper is a dildo
Length: over 6k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Jaime Lannister doesn't think he has any kinks. Until, of course, he sees Brienne pin Podrick during training. All he can think about is Brienne doing the same to him. But, hang on? Where did the fantasy of the strap-on come from and why in the Seven Hells can't he stop thinking about Brienne wielding Oathkeeper, the sapphire blue dildo he's been obsessing about?
Jaime might be screwed. Literally.
Link
I Don't Go Here (which is why GoT isn't tagged), but one of my best friends sent me this fic and we both died laughing! I didn't get most of the in-jokes (but I'm guessing Oathkeeper is a sword?), but the whole thing is very tongue-in-cheek, with some great fluff in the end. And the minor characters are all super fun here (I have no idea who Loras Tyrel is, but I love him.) Seriously, this fic is super fun!

Title: if you want love
Author: sorryuser
Fandom: Star Wars
Ship: Kylux
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Prostitute Hux, Praise Kink, Choke Kink, Hand and Finger Kink, Sex Work, Sex Worker Hux
Length: over 3k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: a fic about sex worker hux getting all tingly for the broad guy in the black suit
Link
This was an interesting treadmill read. This was one of those fics that was so hot and spicy, I kept having to check over my shoulder while I was walking to make sure no one caught me reading porn in public (yes, I do that. No, it's not a kink. I'm so desensitised to it at this point, it's basically like reading the newspaper).
I love the characterisation here! Hux is so desperate to be loved, and Kylo is more than happy to give it to him. Kylux fandom has some of the best-written smut out there, and I can't tell whether I belong there or not!

Title: And Again and Again
Author: learnedfoot
Fandom: Marvel
Ship: Starker
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Time Loop, Future Fic
Length: over 3k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: If Peter got to choose which really old movie his life would suddenly start imitating, he wouldn’t have picked Groundhog Day. He didn’t get a choice.
AKA, Peter is stuck in a time loop, so of course he goes to Tony for help.
Link
Hey look, another Starker fic. But seriously, this one is a lot of fun. Peter's frustration at his time loop scenario is hilarious, and the conclusion (which I won't spoil) is SO sweet. If you're looking for a nice, short treat, this is definitely one to dig into.

Lol, I've been juggling so many things, I forgot to post this De-Anon. Silly me! April is one Hell of a month.

I got to write some super cute and super fun QuiObi for serenity_abrin!

Title: Investigation on Chandrila

But something about seeing Qui-Gon looking so cleaned up in his disguise has Obi-Wan very distracted.
Link

Oh boy, another week. I can't believe I've been at it for this long! Another four-rec week.

Title: Queer Eye
Author: for_autumn_i_am

Length: over 20k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: Fashion designer Armitage Hux is met with a unique challenge when he has to makeover an insanely hot dancer, Kylo Ren. Everybody else thinks Kylo is a dick. Armitage wishes said dick was inside of him, but it seems that Kylo is tragically straight—or is he?
Link
This story is just fantastic! I love the way Hux and Kylo play off each other, especially with Kylo's disability. Also, this is a rare fic that depicts a positive relationship between Holdo and Hux. Just... trust me, this one is a great read!

Title: Serendipity
Author: fallingintodivinity
Fandom: Fantastic Beasts
Ship: Thesival
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Hogwarts AU, First Kiss
Length: over 3k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary:The first time Percival Graves meets Theseus Scamander is in a Hogwarts storage closet.
Link
During fandomtrumpshate, I was lucky enough to win a fic from the lovely fallingintodivinity, who was absolutely a joy to work with! This is the fruits of their labour, and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Title: Stranger of My Imagination
Author: shinysylver
Fandom: Star Wars
Ship: Kylux
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Established Relationship, Future Fic, Dreams, Dreams vs. Reality, Canon Compliant
Length: over 6k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: “The New Republic High Court has outlawed capital punishment. You have been deemed guilty of the crime of genocide. There is no rehabilitation for you. By their order you have been sentenced to sleep for the rest of your natural life.”
Deemed too dangerous for prison, Kylo and Hux are stripped of their memories and sentenced to live out the rest of their lives in a specially constructed dream world. But can any prison truly hold them?
Link
This is such a neat concept for a fic, and I think Sylver delivers on it fantastically! I love Hux's tech support life, his cat, and the references to canon that sneak their way into the AU portion of this fic!

Title: When We Danced
Author: zebraljb
Fandom: Kingsman
Ship: Hartwin
Rating: Gen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Brother-Sister Relationships, Dancing
Length: over 2k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: The history of Eggsy and Daisy...when they danced.
This is mostly a gen story about their relationship, although there is the tiniest bit of Hartwin as well.
Link
Oh man, I loved this story! I feel like Daisy and Eggsy's sibling dynamic is underexplored, and I love fics that use a specific motif to walk the reader through different aspects of the character's lives. And I'm just a huge sucker for the Hartwin part of this as well. Zebral's Harry is so lovely, and manages to keep Eggsy sane despite his instinct to protect his little sister.

I have been BLESSED with a trio of lovely podfics for purimgifts this year! I don't know the identity of the lovely stranger who recorded them for me (yet!), but please go ahead and give these guys a listen!

Edit: My gifter was revealed to be the lovely semperfiona! Thank you so much!

Link

I was genuinely blown away by the diversity of characters I received fics about! I think I made it abundantly clear that I love every single woman in Star Wars and I was so happy to see all my favourites represented in here (granted, all Star Wars women are my favourite). I also just realised every single one of these fics prominently features Leia Organa, which is something I will never complain about.

But yes, please give this person some love! They have fantastic taste in fic and a great reading voice!

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

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.

Summary: Hux's ship sinks, leaving him in the open water. When he does wash up on an island in the middle of nowhere, he finds the residents odd. 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!
