Shit, dawg, I just love this fic. It's a very VERY slow burn compared to most Fake Dating AUs that I've read, but I enjoyed every second of it!
Title: Shooting Star
Author:elrhiarhodan
Fandom: Kingsman
Ship: Hartwin (background Percilot and Roxy/OFC)
Rating: Mature
Content Warnings: Creator Choses Not To Use Archive Warnings
Other Tags: Alternate Universe - No Spies, Singer/Manager, Drug Use, Non-Canon Death of Canon Character, Expressions of Homophobia, Harry Hart Backstory, Hurt/Comfort, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Only One Bed, Masturbation, Slow Burn, Coming Out, Pining, Eventual Romance, Blow Jobs, Brief Reference to Non-Canon Suicide, Happy Ending,
Length: over 50k (complete)
Summary: Gary "Eggsy" Unwin had once been the hottest musical act since a certain moppet had been discovered from his YouTube videos, but criminally bad management had sunk his career - to the point that both his recording contract and his management company have terminated their relationships with Eggsy. Bored, unhappy, bitter at how everything's gone to shite, he calls his dealer, looking to score some coke.
It doesn't work out as he expects.
Link
My dude, I LOVE this fic! Eggsy is wonderfully multidimentional, and I loved watching him slowly overcome his struggles. And this Harry? He's such a gentleman, but only because he's so scared of fucking things up. Also, Elton John is there. What's not to love?
Title: Pull On Your Ropes If You Love Being Free
Author: for_autumn_i_am
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Ineffable Husbands
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Post-Canon, Established Relationship, Trauma and Recovery, Bondage, Shibari, Bottom Crowley, Service Top Aziraphale, Praise Kink, D/s Undertones, Sexual Roleplay, Sex Toys, Coping With The Apocalypse, Crowley Is Basically A Guardian Demon Now
Length: over 8k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary: “I had a nightmare,” Crowley said, and it had the desired effect: Aziraphale directed all his attention to him. It was nearly blinding, like the sunrise, and warmed him just the same. He stood in the glow of it as Aziraphale set the battered copy aside, not even looking at what he was doing.
“Oh dear, the fire again?” he said.
Link
*sigh* Autumn is slowly becoming one of my favourite authors. While she mostly writes Kylux stuff, this Good Omens fic is DIVINE. Her characterisation is pitch-perfect. This fic focuses on a Crowley who's nervous and broken and terrified, but still so SO beloved by those around him and it was very healing for me to read.
Title: This is What I Remember
Author:anarchycox
Fandom: Kingsman
Ship: N/A
Rating: Teen
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Alternate Universe - Domestic, Alternate Universe - Demons, Character Study, Judaism, Coming Out, Feelings, Bad Parents, Mentions of the Holocaust, Mentions of Cancer
Length: over 4k (complete, 1 chapter)
Summary:We properly learn who Percival is, how he grew up.
Link
I know I know, I've recc'd this series probably a million times by now, but this fic was especially poignent. Amanda really did a great job exploring Percival's Judaism and his relationship with his sexuality, and it really is a joy to read!
Title: The Catfish Chronicles
Author: stfustucky
Fandom: Marvel
Ship: Starker
Rating: Explicit
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Top Tony Stark, Bottom Peter Parker, Alternate Universe - Online Dating, Sexting, Daddy Kink, Mentions of PTSD, Idiots in Love, Friends to Lovers
Length: over 31k (complete, 5 chatpers)
Summary: Peter creates a fake profile under the name "Benjamin" trying to catch his scumbag boyfriend cheating. Tony creates a Tinder profile for "Anthony" looking for love late in life. Funny how two geniuses who fight side by side every day can only manage to fall in love after they've accidentally catfished each other. This is... gonna get awkward.
(aka the accidental double catfish online dating AU my bingo card asked for)

I actually had the pleasure of watching Charlie write this in real time on Discord, and it was so fun! I feel like we've had a lot of pretty serious stuff on here, so here's some pretty fun stuff to round everything out.
Title: Untitled Tumblr Fic
Author: thelibrarina
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: N/A
Rating: General Audiences
Content Warnings: N/A
Other Tags: Outsider PoV, Aziraphale's Bookstore
Length: over 800 (complete)
Summary: A tumblr user comes across an odd bookstore.
Link
I feel a bit weird about recc'ing this fic, since I feel it's best experienced as a natural part of your tumblr dashboard. But if you don't have a tumblr any more, you might not know about it. I don't know what else to say about other than it's an absolutely delightful piece of Outside AU and a GREAT use of a tumblr post as a fic medium!
That's all for this week! My school schedule gives me a lot more time to read fic than my work schedule did, so hopefully I'll have more for you soon!
