Herein we have recs! And an enormous babble about this one Thor fic, Idk why.
Harry Potter fic
In Grey Worsted by
literaryspell. (Harry/Draco, 2700, R; Multiple magical amputations (somewhat graphic), abduction, murder (unintentional).)
This one is chilling, but I found it so worth the read. Draco suffers a nameless curse, and Harry does terrible things to help -- but he’s not a traditional dark!Harry. This is just a terrible result of how desperate Harry is for love and family, for the way he was trained to do whatever was needed to keep those he loves alive. A very tight, well-done horror story.
That’ll Show ’Em by
woldy. (Pansy/Ginny, 3300, NC-17; exhibitionism.)
This is really hot exhibitionist femmeslash. That’s not usually a kink of mine at all, but it’s one of those fics where the characters are so vividly turned-on that it becomes hot for the reader too. And as a queer girl it is sheer wish-fulfillment for me. I love both Pansy and Ginny in this, but especially Ginny - she’s being told over and over to not publically display her affection for another woman, especially not this woman, and her response is fantastic.
Thor fic
Looks Like A Nail by TheHummingbirdMoth. (Thor/Loki, ~14 000, NC-17; sibling incest, BDSM, cannibalism. DON’T LET THAT LAST PUT YOU OFF IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK I SWEAR.)
I love this fic so fucking much, I’ve read it three times already. It’s about Thor tracking Loki to his current lair in the Jotun mountains and putting Mjolnir on top of him so he can’t move, and demanding Loki tell him where he’s hidden Steve’s shield, which he’s nicked. And then it’s just a surprisingly fun, interesting story that’s overwhelmingly “two dudes sit in a cave.”
It’s from Thor’s POV and I love, love, love this Thor. He’s so excellently characterised, with nuance and care, and so is Loki. This Loki is amused and callous but not just a grinning villain, and Thor’s done perfectly, his sulky desire for praise and his efforts to overcome his temper and how hard he tries with Loki. And the writing is clean and clear and a pleasure to read. And there’s hot Loki/sub!Thor.
Also, I don’t know why this struck me so much, but there’s a line about how Thor “lost the woman he loved. Well, liked. Liked very much” and it shows some of what I love about the fic: the very readable, believable thought process, the respect for Jane and her awesome, the not buying something that quick as True Love while also not disrespecting the importance of that relationship. IDK, it just says something about the author’s approach to relationships that I like.
Also, fic with stuff about Frost Giant biology is always my favourite.
Sherlock fic
A Sort of Fairytale by
arcsupport. (Molly gen with some Sherlock, ~2200, PG-13; Non-graphic autopsy procedure and minor death.)
Darkly funny, well-characterised, just-enough-angst-to-make-your-heart-twang Molly fic. THANK YOU FATHER CHRISTMAS.
Muscle Memory by
kyther. (Sherlock/John, ~1500, NC-17.)
Doctor!John naming every part of Sherlock, checking him over, testing Sherlock’s knowledge of anatomy. Tender and sexy and nicely characterised - John nags Sherlock about smoking while he checks his lungs, Sherlock threatens to delete the anatomy knowledge (but would never). And John makes a discovery which is SO PERFECT.

wraithkeeperl. (Sherlock/John, ~800, G.)
Sherlock and John have had a baby together - JUST GO WITH IT BECAUSE IT’S WORTH IT - and Sherlock is left alone with her for the very first time. John = distinctly anxious. Mycroft = hilarious. Sherlock = showing the three-month-old flashcards of the periodic table.
John’s POV makes this extra-hilarious, and the ending isn’t saccarhine but still made me AWW FOREVER.

Not The Giant Rat of Sumatra by
spacefall. (Gen with John, Sherlock and a rat, G.)
John’s face!! Sherlock’s face!!! The rat’s face!!! Sherlock sekritly has a rat, and John does not understand the love between man and brown rat.

John catches Sherlock wearing curlers. Sherlock denies it. No words can explain how funny this is: only the art, so click!

angrybiege, and if you only check one of these comics make it this one!! Sherlock and John show up drunk to a crime scene. It is absolutely hilarious - the way she shows comic!drunkenness is incredibly funny all on its own.
