Fic Rec Friday Week 12
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![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
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.

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

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.
