Fandom: Avengers (2012)

Pairings: Tony & Bruce (Platonic)

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/412580

Summary: Tony wasn’t quite ready for it, the day Bruce let the first dam break. He’d thought he would be. He wasn’t.

Review: The Avengers film has released a plethora of fics in which Tony has mental health issues and within that larger genre, there is a charming little subgenre in which Bruce and Tony become mental illness buddies. This is one of those. Tony and Bruce talk about depression and having something inside you that was never meant to be there. A little bit heart rending.

Fandom: Harry Potter

Pairings: Snape/Everyone

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1220

Summary: A poem about Snape, inspired by Dr Seuss

Review: READ THIS! It is brilliantly mental. I like things which are brilliantly mental. I expect some of you do to. If you do, read this.

Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)

Pairing: John/Sherlock

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/265580

Summary: Sherlock watched John’s mouth as that smile slid away too quickly. There had been something there, something he’d not had time to analyze. He was left with the unsettling impression of having witnessed an expression that didn’t belong on John Watson’s face at all. In its wake it left the equally unsettling thought that perhaps he didn’t know John as entirely as he thought he did.

Review: As you’ll know if you’d read any of my First Class recs, I like a fic with consent issues and the Sherlock fandom always delivers. This is beautifully dark and the characters are so broken you start to forget that there was ever a problem with this situation. An absolutely must read for fans of Johnlock, consent issues or medical play. Also it contains the line; ”People who rape sociopaths should not expect tea for their trouble.” M’Lud, the defence rests.

Fandom: Avengers (2012)

Pairing: Tony/Bruce

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/397857

Summary: Tony is awed by Bruce’s control. And just a little turned on.

Review: Short hot fic with Tony pushing Bruce to top him and Bruce having no idea what’s going on. He gets it in the end, as indeed does Tony.

Fandom: Bandom, Panic at the Disco

Pairing: Spencer/Brendon

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/250281

Summary: Spencer wants to choke on Brendon’s cock.

Review: Hot little intro to BDSM fic with hair-pulling, face-slapping and what it says in the summary. If any of those are your kinks, go ahead and read. You won’t be disappointed.

Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)

Pairing: Sherlock/Mycroft (also Sherlock/John, Sherlock/Anderson, Sherlock/Lestrade and Sherlock/Moriarty)

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/371847

Summary: This fic does what it says on the tin. Read the title and pairings and you’ll know what’s coming.

Review: This would be a good fic, but the ending makes it a great fic. Quite short, subtly humorous and with a thoroughly believable kink for Sherlock. The man really does like upsetting people, doesn’t he?

Fandom: The Avengers

Pairing: Tony&Bruce (platonic), Tony/Pepper, Bruce/Betty

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/series/17981

Summary: Tony and Bruce’s epic friendship

Review: This is probably the sweetest thing you will ever read. Not kittens and puppies red roses on valentines day contrived sweet, but real deep everlasting friendship sweet. Read this, it will brighten your day beyond measure.

Fandom: British Commedian RPF

Pairing: David Mitchell/Charlie Brooker

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/105285

Summary: Charlie/David hair-pulling kink

Review: There’s isn’t much that needs saying here. It’s marginalia so it’s sweet and well-written, it’s Charlie/David so it’s gently funny with a good dose of self hatred, and it’s hair-pulling which is an excellent but underused kink. Three great reasons to hurry up and read this.
