Self-rec for the last day of @kprecfest
A Close Shave, by @fleet-off
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Having settled into tentative peace with his prisoner, Vegas decides to give Pete a shave. He straddles the razorās edge between attraction and repulsion, captor and captive, the mercy of a quick death and the prolonged cruelty of a life held in Vegasās hands.
ā¦AKA the time I set out to write a shaving fic and it turned into a ramble on the relative benefits of drowning vs immolation. Describing my own writing is always a challenge, but Iāve been told that this fic is poetic and intense. The inside of Vegasās head is a brutal place to live.
favorite line:
He is at the end of his rope, his own will the only thing keeping the shrapnel of his bones from erupting through his shell.
He wonders if Pete would like it, if they did. Maybe he would smile in the face of Vegasās weakness.
Maybe he would say, I have rubble in me too. You and me, weāre the compressed aftermath of explosions. Weāre what outlasts the flames.
Maybe he would reach inside the wreckage and touch.

Summary:
Thereās movement in Bankās peripheral vision, and fuck, thank god, but fuck, Mr. Kinn is standing there in the doorway, warily taking in the scene.
āPorsche,ā he says. Itās completely neutral, an invitation for explanation. Bank pants for breath and calculates his best chance of stopping Mr. Porsche if he tries to swing Bankās gun toward Mr. Kinn. Based on the way this has gone so far, his odds arenāt great.
āKinn,ā Mr. Porsche answers cheerfully. āWe were just waiting for you.ā
Fic Rec |@kprecfest
Outsider POVs are always fun and this one is a post-canon one by POV of one of the new bodyguards of the main family, Bank. Bank doesnāt know anything other than the fact minor and major families just had a conflict and Porsche is head of the minor family, so I will refrain from saying anything that may spoil the ficās fun.

For @kprecfest
Rec for my VegasPete series, Safe Haven. Itās an Idol!AU where Pete is in a group with Porsche, Big, Tay, and Arm. Vegas is an artist and the cousin of the CEO of Peteās company.
The idea popped in my head when I saw this post. So itās all Buildās fault. I only planned to write about 20k of Pete and Vegas getting together. But then I created a prequel of sorts with a little backstory of KinnPorsche. Now the series has four parts, just over 40k, and Iām working on two more parts now. I donāt know when Iāll run out of ideas. This universe is just so fun to build. If you want a break from the dark, canon world of VP or if you like Kpop and the fluffiest of fluff, please check it out. š
Normally, I find it hard to say good things about myself or my writing. Today, thanks to @kprecfestā and Self-Rec Saturday, Iām announcing that I wrote a really cool VegasPorsche fic and (if you donāt hate the ship) you should definitely read it! To go a step further and fully embrace the alien concept of self-confidence, hereās a few comments from other people who agree.
āthis just made my day 10x better, thank u for your serviceā
āOh my this was absolutely amazing! So bloody š„š„š„ā
āThis is so well written and is keeping me hooked! ā
āOmg this broke me šā
āI absolutely love your Vegas š„ŗ this story just keeps getting better ā¤ļø ā
āThere's not enough words in my vocabulary to express how much I enjoy this story.ā
āI didnāt know I could love porsche any more but apparently I could. THANK YOU SO MUCHā
āthis is so so soooo perfectly written. I seriously picked up this fic tonight and took FOREVER to get thru it because I kept having to just lay my phone down and process how lovely your characterization is for these two.ā
ābeautiful and so lovely, and no apologies for the happy ending okay, i personally think i earned it from all the years you shaved off my life (affectionate)ā
ā ive read this like 3 times already- i honestly love how this turned out! ā
ā I cried. The Vegas of this story isnāt good or bad and thatās okay because heās loved anywayā

@kprecfest Bingo Spot: Canon Divergence
Anaesthetic by @coleslaww
Rating: G
Pairing: VegasPete, Vegas & Pete & Macau
Status: Completed
Summary: "Vegas gets out of surgery and is still loopy from the Anaesthetic."
Why you should read this: This is by far one of my favorite VegasPete fics of all time. It's just so adorable and fluffy and Coleslaww does a really wonderful job not only capturing the tired and anxious Pete and Macau, who are waiting for Vegas to wake up, but also writing the most hilarious version of Vegas I have ever read. I mean. Vegas wakes up, shell shocked that Pete is his boyfriend, like a kid on Christmas. I blushed hard at some of Vegas' lines because I could see it all so vividly in my head. VegasPete is a pairing that carries so much angst and hurt, and Coleslaww's fic is the exact sort of comfort humor fic I needed.
Favorite Line:
āOk Vegas, you heard the nice lady, you need to drink something.ā...
āCan I drink you?ā Vegas asked, a sly grin on his face. āCause youāre a tall glass of water.ā
Pete nearly choked, his voice came out broken and flustered. āJust drink this first!ā
I've been meaning to put together a rec list for forever, but @kprecfest finally gave me the kick in the behind I needed to do it. This is a little long, but in no way exhaustiveāI still have so many fics on my to read list and I haven't had the chance to venture far from VegasPete yet (but there are a few non-VP recs at the end there). Also, I tried to limit the number of recs per author to one or two, but so many of these authors have multiple amazing works. If you like something definitely give their profile a view. Also standard caveat to make sure you read the tags for these. I hope you enjoy!
VegasPete
Such Precious Hours by ellieellieoxenfree (wip, explicit, post-canon)
Nobody ever really escapes this life.
One of my favorite takes on post-canon injured Vegas, treating it as the disability it realistically would be. And Ellie is so deft at grounding the physical with emotional pain and vice versa. But this fic has an incredible emotional depth that is alternatively sweet and heavy and hard, with truly great family moments and a lot of heart.
do it for me by lusn (oneshot, mature, post-canon)
Pete rolls onto his back, thunks his head back lightly against the floor. āGoddammit,ā he says.
Lu has such a fantastic skill for writing action and bamf!VegasPete. This was the fic that made me fall in love with her writing. It's action-packed and sexy as hell. Super fun.
walking shadows by Lise (oneshot, teen, post-canon)
Even if almost everything else in his life still kind of sucks, Vegas at least thought things with Pete were going pretty well. The past is in the past, right? Everything's fine.
Or not.
Pete's reliving his trauma at night. Vegas has a crisis about it, and tries to figure out what he's supposed to do now.
Annnnnnnnnnngst. The only fic to legit make me cry so far in this fandom. Vegas is really going through it in this fic as he deals with his guilt and self-loathing in the aftermath of canon. Heart-wrenching and devastating.
The Blood in Your Mouth by folie_a_yeux (wip, explicit, f/f au)
She could stay like this for hours, just staring at Pete. Making her stare back. She could snake her fingers through her hair, like sheās done now, countless times, and bare that exquisite neck. She could run her hands over her stomach, down her thighs, feeling her gasp and squirm.
And she could take her. Right here, on the dirty floor of this cramped, filthy room. She could bring back the light in Peteās eyes, that look she hid in that Bangkok cell. She could make her do more than scream.
F/F PeteVegas, or "Torture is Always Sexier With Lesbians."
God. I love this fic so much. This version of Vegas, with no hope of ever being a heir because of her gender, is truly unhinged and breathtaking. And the writing is just so lush and sharp and visceral.
The Opposite Of Hate by kerrikins (oneshot, teen, character study)
Or, three times Pete should have killed Vegas but didn't.
Or, Pete's filled with emotions and doesn't know what to do with them or what they mean.
Set between his escape and the end of the season.
Kerri is maybe more known for her AUs, but this shorter canonical Pete POV fic is still one of my favorites. I love her take on Pete's mindset through this period of the story and how it transforms over the short period between episodes 13 and 14.
where it's so sweet and heavenly by saru (oneshot, explicit, post-canon w/Venice)
Hornbills mate for life.
Vegas thinks he understands.
or, Pete is the perfect business partner, lover and father. Vegas wants him to have his babies. Figuratively speaking.
Another gorgeously written post-canon fic, this time with a lush sense of setting and symbolism. Also Vegas's obsessive adoration of Pete is this is just top notch.
golden hour by honeydrip (lmeden) (oneshot, teen, post-canon)
Pete stretches as he wakes, a languid gesture that fills up the bed and presses him against Vegas. His spine cracks and the muscles in his shoulders scream and he feels the bruises on his side begin to burn. He is a symphony of pain, and he smiles into the flesh of Vegasās arm.
Pete and Vegas get ready to go out on a date.
If you are in love with Vegas's wardrobe like me, this is a great fic for you. Also has gorgeous writing and the intimacy is so good.
fool's gold landed on my shoulder by phnelt (oneshot, mature, canon-divergent/au)
Today is the day the minor family attacks the major familyās compound.
Itās the seventh time for Vegas.
(Time loop fic)
Vegas is stuck reliving the minor family coup over and over again. A short time loop fic with a whooper of a punch.
Lost Pet by clandestinegardenias (oneshot, mature, canon-divergent)
Vegas has very few things he truly allows himself to care for, in this life.
Going through the routine of feeding his hedgehog, only to find that a second pet has left him in as many weeks, might finally be the thing that pulls him under.
Events go differently with Pete's escape and Vegas's hedgehog. I'll be honest, this one is on here because it feels like it was written for me a little bit. I'm quite fond of it.
Separated by a degree by shamiram (wip, explicit, au)
Pete doesn't quite know how he went from being a street thug working at an illegal boxing ring to being a bodyguard for one of the most powerful men in Thailand, but he isnāt exactly complaining.
or: Vegas meets Pete at an underground boxing ring, and everything spirals uncontrollably for both of them
This is an omegaverse fic with omega!Vegas and Alpha!Pete. Also a boxer AU. I really love the VegasPete dynamic in this one and how the author approaches canonical events through this AU.
dancing in a snow globe by incendir (oneshot, mature, post-canon)
āCanāt sleep?ā Pete echoes back.
āWithout you, no,ā Vegas says quietly. āI canāt.ā
[Or, five times Pete is asked about Vegas, and one time he isn't]
Conversations Pete has in the aftermath of canon. I really love their dynamic in this one. It's all about the codependence and mutual obsession.
The Coexistence of Opposite Values by destimushi (oneshot, explicit, post-canon)
Vegas canāt remember how it started. Canāt remember the day he decided inflicting pain would also bring him pleasure. Not satisfaction, not fulfilment, but a burning pleasure that sets his dick on fire. Pete asks for a caning.
Vegas has thoughts about it.
I really love this fic's exploration of Vegas and his relationship to kink before and after Pete.
take me to your planet by any_open_eye (oneshot, explicit, missing scene)
Peteās face is doing something. He thinks he might be smiling. He feels fucking high.
What the hell is happening to him? He knows afterglow and this isn't it. If it was, he'd be way more into sex. There were people in high school and then one long-term girlfriend a few years ago, but she neverāit was nothing like this. This is likeā¦ that blissful moment between sleeping and waking when you're conscious of your body but not yet of your mind. Just a vessel of receptors and processes. Electrified meat.
āThat was good, right?ā Vegas's hands are on him. āTell me it was good.ā
Probably my favorite fic set within canon. I've reread this one so many times. It so beautifully connects episode 12 to the start of episode 13, and I really love Pete's headspace in this one.
even the clearest water by LuckyDiceKirby (oneshot, mature, post-canon)
He pulled Pete in for another kiss. Pete shoved him, hard, and Vegas fell back a few steps. He was breathing fast, his palms flat against the door. Vegas hadnāt seen him this scared in a long time.
āWhatās wrong?ā Vegas asked.
āI need you to shut me up,ā Pete said. āI donāt care how. Use your belt, your shirt, I donāt care, just donāt let me talk.ā
-
Vegas and Pete get dosed with a truth drug. No one ends up having a good time.
Pete's characterization in this fic is painful and incisive. Darkly delicious, this one.
Brand Recognition by iffervescent (oneshot, explicit, au)
Vegas wants his top billing back. Pete likes being on the bottom.
Super hot, smutty, smutty porn. I really loved Vegas's characterization in this too, especially his obsession with aftercare.
If You Had Something to Lose by raelle (wip, explicit, au)
When Pete saves a bleeding, gorgeous stranger from being killed by the Yakuza, that man opens doors to a world of submission and pleasure heād never known before.
When Vegas is saved by a beautiful college student, he knows he doesnāt want to let the man slip through his fingers.
The two of them start up an arrangement: kinky sex, but only casually.
But with the Yakuza on the hunt for the person who took down their men, and the main family asking questions about where Vegas goes when he disappears, how long will their casual arrangement last?
ā OR: Pete is a college student. Vegas is in the mafia. They shouldnāt meet, but they do, and their spark is impossible to ignore.
This one is just fun. I've been super enjoying the wild ride it takes me on every Friday. If you are looking for a fun fic to really dive into and spend some time in, this is it.
Other Recs
Intermission by Lise (Macau centric, teen, missing scenes)
His brother's in the hospital, his dad's dead, and his only ally is the main family bodyguard who was stalking Vegas, who seems to be a little unhinged.
Macau, in the aftermath.
Really great exploration of Macau and what he might have been going through in episode 14 (aka he was not having a good time). I really love the range of emotions Macau processes in this and how he bonds with Pete. Great fic.
Dad Joke by nonplussed (Macau & Porchay & Pete, teen)
Technically written for day 1 of VP Fan Week for the prompt 'fake relationship', except there is no fake dating in this fic. There is, however, fake dad-ing
Delightful little fic about Macau and Chay bonding and giving Pete a hard time (with special guests Porsche and Vegas). Love this one.
reignite by lusn (Namphueng centric, teen, post-canon)
Namphueng has been endlessly dreaming. She can only tell because for the first time in years, she might finally be awake.
A darkly compelling exploration of Namphueng as she reacts to canonical events. Deeply love this character exploration and all it's terrible implications.
fuck it all back down by syzygetic (Vegas/multiple, explicit, canon-divergent)
Everything about sex is performative. There is no such thing as fucking without an agenda, at least in Vegasās experience. He wouldnāt have survived to adulthood if he was precious about shit like that.
Vegas and some of the men he sleeps with in his desperate, rage-filled attempts to be loved or hated--either will work.
I found this one to be a really compelling Vegas character study centering on his obsession with Kinn.
checkmate (series) by majestictortoise (teen/mature, post-canon)
I've actually only read the first few fics in this series, but I adore all of them and plan to finish the rest as soon as I have the time. The author has such an incredible grasp on the characterization for pretty much everybody and I love how they are continuing the story post-canon (aka operation kill korn).

One Bright Moment, by @sparkly-butthole-on-ao3
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
A year postcanon, Pete and Porsche wake up in each otherās bodies (not in the sexy way). Kinn and Vegas try to deal, and Porsche gets a window into his sometimes-enigmatic friend.
Sparkly takes this crack concept in some delightfully messy directions. I was fascinated by Porscheās awareness of the gaps in his understanding of Pete, as well as the places where that awareness falters. The comedy inherent in an otherwise alarming situation, combined with Sparklyās talent for dialogue, make this story a very fun read.
favorite line:
Kinn throws Vegas another dirty look as he leads his boyfriend back to the bigger, more luxurious couch. āYou canāt have both of them, you know.ā
Vegasā grin is all teeth and spite, though his voice is lazy when he responds, āWhy not? The love of my lifeās soul is right here next to me, and his body is next to you. They both belong to me.ā
