February Fic Recs
World Ain’t Ready by idiopathicsmile Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn't even opened his mouth yet. That's got to be a record, even for them. "I need a favor," he says at last. "With what?" says Grantaire. "Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I'd be awesome at cults, I just know it." He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. "I love chanting, I look great in robes—" (High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.) Enjolras/Grantaire, 185k, T

Mac and Dennis Get a New Apartment by pavonine After Dee's landlord threatens to kick them out for squatting, Mac and Dennis get a place of their own and it's all downhill from there. Dennis tries to keep himself together. Life's got other plans. Set a few months after the end of Season 10. Mac/Dennis, 59k, E
Anti-Social by Unpretty Batman needs a Robin. Tim & Bruce, 10k, T
On Your Right by thingswithwings Sam puts the Trouble Man soundtrack on repeat, like a talisman at first, when he thinks that Steve might die. Â The doctors are grim and serious, claiming that they did what they could for him, removing the bullets and stitching his insides back together. Â A few hours later, the doctors' faces get less grim, more confused, and a few hours after that, they're throwing their arms up in the air in frustration and grinning with triumph at the same time, because apparently the Super Soldier Serum is worth more than just the fastest mile in human history. Sam spends that time beside Steve, in the position he's gotten used to after only a couple of days: on his right, waiting to see where he'll run next, ready to get his back. Sam/Steve, 5k, T
Mac and Dennis Conduct an Experiment by pavonine Dennis convinces Mac that the only surefire way to prove his straightness is to sexually experiment with another man. Of course that man happens to be Dennis. Of course Mac buys into this as a reasonable plan of action. Of course it backfires on them both. Set somewhere in the middle of Season 8. Warnings really only apply later on in the story. Mac/Dennis, 35k, E
Gotham’s Favorite Son by Unpretty Thanks, Gotham side of Tumblr. Bruce Wayne, Multimedia, G
Unpaid Internship by Unpretty The Justice League needs to stop a world-ending doomsday event, but that happens so often it's barely even interesting. What's more interesting is who Batman brought with him to work. This raises a lot of questions, and Batman isn't answering them. Bruce Wayne, 1k, G
Office Meeting by Unpretty Bruce Wayne deals with supervillains almost as much as Batman does. Bruce & Harley, 1k, T
Birds of a Feather by idiopathicsmile “Isn’t this nice?” says Aziraphale with badly feigned casualness the next time Crowley stops by for a late night drink. Crowley is all set to reply, words lined up in his mouth waiting to go, when Aziraphale adds, “I mean, all of the books and furniture and bottles of wine and things?” Aziraphale nests. Crowley relearns some crucial facts about angelic courtship rituals. Aziraphale/Crowley, 3k, T
Head/Heart/Lungs by triedunture After the invasion, Steve Rogers visits Stark Tower to apologize; he was wrong about Iron Man, and he's man enough to admit it...if Tony would just let him. Luckily Bruce Banner is there to translate Stark Talk for Steve, and the three of them fall into a strange kind of routine. For once in his life, Steve feels like he might belong. But how can he belong when he wants...that? Bruce/Tony/Steve, 12k, G
a sequence that you never learned by annataylor "'Spock,' Jim breathes out, completely overwhelmed by the gesture—not quite believing that Spock knows him so well, that's he's already started researching, that he trusts Jim with a member of his own endangered species." When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen. Kirk/Spock, 64k, E
No Shortage of Sordid by FreshBrains The first time Han tries it, Luke feels justified in giving him an entirely accidental nosebleed courtesy of his own tailbone. You can’t just spring that on a guy, anyways. Han/Luke, 2k, E
Resurrection, Reconstruction & Redemption by Elspethdixon, Seanchai Doom brings Steve back from the dead. Hijinks ensue, some of which might vaugely be considered plot. Steve/Tony, 90k, T
Nominal by Unpretty Don't ask why Batman is sad unless you're willing to give him the time to consult his spreadsheet. Bruce Wayne, Multimedia, T
By Definition by idiopathicsmile Aziraphale has certainly dabbled in the world of carnal delights over the years, most notably in the late nineteenth century, when a certain infernal adversary was enjoying a century-long nap and seemingly the only way to pass the time had been to develop some hobbies. Aziraphale/Crowley, 3k, E
versus by Unpretty Whoever wins... we also win. It's a win-win situation. Batman is lying when he says that it isn't. Don't listen to Batman. Batman & Superman, 1k, G
A Guide to Handling the Unhandleable Tony Stark by nightrider101 Written for the following prompt on the Avengers Kink meme: The rest of the Avengers assume Tony is an unbound Omega by the way he acts. He's reckless and carefree and does what he wants. Imagine their surprise when they find out that Rhodey is Tony's Alpha. They're all confused at the way Rhodey lets Tony act and how they can be away from each other for long periods of time and Rhodey's just like 'He didn't want to give up his career and I didn't want to give up mine. And I gave up trying to tell Tony what to do years ago.' Rhodey/Tony, 3k, T
Stark, A.E., and Banner, R. Bruce. (2013). “Biodosimetric Tools for Measuring Induced Isomeric Transition in Inverted Paired States.” International Journal of Radiation Biology 89.9, 43-85. by thingswithwings "And so," Tony concludes triumphantly, "you owe it to science, to yourself, and to the people of New York City to have tons of hot awesome monster sex with me." Bruce/Tony, 16k, E
between our bodies there’s a battlefield by thingswithwings Sam hadn't ever had cause to think about it, not really, but if someone had told him that he would end up in a pity fuck situation with Steve Rogers, gorgeous kind superpowered American war hero Steve Rogers, he would've assumed he was the one being pitied. Sam/Steve, 4k, E
