you take the dark and carve me out a home

After Shiro steps out to get some air, Keith notices that something is off with the tea the Ydrads served them, only to learn it has alcoholic effects in them.

And now he has to save Shiro again.

Tony wakes up naked in a place he doesn't recognize. Not unusual for him, except this hasn't happened to him since the eighties, and he's usually not in the company of the supersoldier he's carrying a torch for. Who is also naked. And who is now privy to the sight of Tony's wing stumps, an injury he's successfully hidden from the public - and his teammates - for years. Not just because he hates the sight of them, but also because they're a dead giveaway that he's Ironman. This couldn't be more of a shit show.

Tony eats those words as soon as the aphrodisiac kicks in.

“Kotetsu, what are you doing with those boxes?”

A little behind on posting my 2023 reads, but this was the last fic of 2022 I read and the first one in 2023 that I finished and by golly gosh who knew that in 2022 that I’d add not only Drarry but Dramione to my list of OTPs.

Definitely a must-read because how this story is built is so well done. The middle part, where it revisits the past and how they got to the part in the beginning and subsequently leads up to the end. It is difficult and violent at times but there is an image in my head where Draco is coming to save Hermione and he solidifies in my mind as a bad ass and I think of that moment often.

Summary:

Jim wrote a romance novel just to prove he could. Then someone leaked it on the public Starfleet server, and suddenly his embarrassingly smutty and sentimental Human/Vulcan love story is all over campus. Luckily for Jim, no one knows that he’s the author. Unluckily for Jim, someone forwarded the novel to the staff of the Vulcan embassy. Now, every Vulcan in San Francisco is reassessing the logical merits of taking Human bondmates.

Spock reads a Human/Vulcan romance novel because he can hardly avoid it. Suddenly, he is consumed by the need to locate the author, ascertain their wellbeing, and instruct them in the way of Vulcan mating bonds. Luckily for Spock, it doesn't take long to identify the author as Jim Kirk. Unluckily for Spock, Jim is unconscious and surrounded by interested Vulcans who also read the book.

Summary:

After saving a genie from being confined to captivity in the latest round of chaos wreaked on Beacon Hills, Stiles’ unconscious wish for a future with Derek is temporarily granted when he wakes up in a universe where Derek is his husband.

With the sudden reality he’s living too good to be true, he’s not sure how he’s supposed to trust that it’s really a vision of what was always destined to come – and, more importantly, how he’s supposed to get his Derek back home to agree to give the two of them a shot.

I ended up crying after reading this because it’s what Derek deserves and I love love love how this was written. So very lovely.
