-----[ X-MEN ]-----

ok so ?? idk why im obsessed with erik/charles considering ive only watched dark pheonix but i needed somewhere to put this BEAUTY of a fic so here we are

• Tuesday Plays the Piper, E
  • In a world where the population is barely holding steady, those of either gender who are capable of bearing children are considered a prized commodity. In all places beyond Westchester, their rights are few--and, with Erik Lehnsherr poised to tear down the gates of the city, even that last haven is on the brink of destruction. But, for Charles Xavier, the consequences of conquest may prove to be more personal than political. No one quite knows why Erik is so set on capturing his old friend and partner in the war against Shaw: Charles is no bearer, and he's disinclined to aid Erik in firmly establishing mutant supremacy once and for all. Charles, however, is all too aware of Erik's reasons. Erik knows things about him that no one else does--things which, if brought to light, would would mean surrendering far more than just a kingdom.
    • I am DEVASTATED i am BROKEN i went through so many emotions but its so worth sticking with it and just im,,, its been like a week since i finished it and I still havent been able to stop thinking abt it i literally bought the freaking xmen boxset bc im so obsessed now
• X Marks the Spot, E
  • The year is 1962, and Charles Xavier is a professor of archaeology who knows how his students feel, whether he wants to or not. He spends his spare time researching a mythical artifact, but he knows better than anyone that X never, ever marks the spot.
• What Not To Expect When You're Not Expecting It, E
  • “I wasn’t hiding it from you. Honestly, I didn’t know for certain until yesterday, which I think we can agree was bad timing and not the sort of thing one springs before the heat of battle,” Charles says earnestly.
• A Measure of Peace, E
  • Erik's nightmares are formidable, and Charles' proximity is the only apparent cure
    • can i get a hell yeah
• Coax me out my love low, E
  • It's hard enough waiting a year to meet the man you're engaged to, but harder still when that man doesn't even want to stay bonded to you. Charles is determined, however, not to let Erik get away.
    • i really like how most of this is before theyre even married i love the lead up and seeing how their emotions for each other develop in the period where all they can do is think of each other without being able to meet
• Does It Feel Like This When, E
  • Erik keeps everything -- body, mind -- under wraps, leaving Charles no choice but to find other outlets for his desires. When those desires cut a little too close to home, though, everything comes out into the open.

----[ Harry Potter ]-----

• Salt on the Western Wind, M
  • When the war isn’t quite as over as it first appears, a guilt-ridden Harry is sent to a mysterious safe-house. Among sandwiches, insomnia, and Mills & Boon, he discovers something quite unexpected.
    • probably my #1 hp fic ever and definitely in my top 5 of fics of all time i love this beyond words
• Helix, E
  • Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again.
    • this is just so wholesome and feel good and holds a special place in my heart
• Twice as Much as an Earthquake, E
  • Accidental bonding. Breaking and entering. Conspiring, however unwillingly, in the strange one-man war Malfoy's waging against detention. This isn't the normal school year Harry anticipated having, but at least it's not boring.
    • so fucking funny
• Lift Your Open Hand, M
  • With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.
• The Four Ds of Apparition, E
  • After transferring to the Apparition Department, Harry's life becomes one big dick joke. And all his friends are arseholes. So is Malfoy, but what else is new? AKA Harry Potter and the eighteen (twenty) dicks.
    • I remember me and Mai read this soooo long ago and omg was it funny as fuck
• A Convenient Impracticality, E
  • Somehow Harry ends up agreeing to a fake relationship with his ex-nemesis-turned-friendly-acquaintance-with-benefits, except for some reason it involves an awful lot of actual dating and, sadly, not much sex. Confused? Harry is too, but when has anything with Draco Malfoy ever been as straightforward as it seems?
    • good things are worth reading twice
• You Send Me {Honest You Do}, E
  • As far as potion accidents go in general, and deaging incidents go in particular, Draco knew this could have been so much worse. Harry only lost about ten years, and all his memories are still intact. But the sight of him looking as if he’s stepped straight out of Draco’s Hogwarts memories has dredged up a whole mess of complicated feelings Draco thought he’d buried years ago, and Draco really doesn’t know what to do with any of it.
    • the concepts a bit weird but i really like this nonetheless
• Before the World Was Made, T
  • Draco has done everything in his power to leave the past behind him. He’s established himself a successful business and built a reputation around the quality of his work and the breadth of his knowledge. But when aurors show up at his shop one afternoon, seeking his expertise on a peculiar item of questionable origins, they completely overthrow the precarious balance in Draco’s life. Trust Potter to bring danger and destruction in his wake, along with a painful reminder of all the things Draco is trying to forget.
• You And Me, E
  • When Harry sits down with Malfoy, he's really only looking for a reprieve from the constant stares and whispers. (Mostly.) What he gets instead are a series of strange events that lead to a friendship that is something else, questions that nobody knows how to answer, and the realisation that the person that Harry doesn't know how to hate, anymore, seems to be the person who knows exactly what he needs. A story in which everything is complicated. And yet, somehow, none of it is.
• IN THE ELECTRICITY OF YOUR TOUCH, E
  • After returning to Hogwarts after the war, Harry realizes he has nothing to do. There is nothing to chase, or to fight. Why, then does he feel as if there is something pricking under his skin? And why does it feel like he’s struck by lightning every time Draco Malfoy touches him? There’s only one explanation: Draco Malfoy is up to something, and Harry has to find out what it is and put a stop to it.
• Storm in a Teacup, M
  • For reasons he'd rather not think about, Draco is obsessed with Potter's hair. This cannot end well.
    • Draco's so precious in this he just wants to stare at harry and be his friend
• Tea and No Sympathy, E
  • It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?
    • i ADORE this fic wow like just yes i love groundhog au fics in general and this one is mwah
• An Issue of Consequence, E
  • Draco has woken up in an alternate universe. Or he has woken up utterly insane. Nothing else can possibly explain why Harry Potter suddenly seems to think he's Draco's boyfriend.
• Written on the Heart, E
  • Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him. When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?
    • this is another great one
• Bound To You, E
  • Hag magic is capricious and unruly, and Harry and Draco are bound to stay by each other’s side until they can solve the riddle. In between long car trips, misty rain, and midnight star charts, they begin to understand each other.
• The Alpha-Omega Bond, E
  • Harry goes into heat unexpectedly. Malfoy stakes his claim
• The Devil's White Knight, E
  • When Harry wakes up in an alternate timeline--a timeline where Voldemort was defeated long before the first war--he discovers everything is different. His parents, his godfather, his friends--and him. Harry must deal with the consequences of who he would have been if he had been raised by his parents, and figure out where he stands with his casual hook up, Draco Malfoy.
• Twist of Fate, T
  • Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.
    • finally found this absolutely heartbreaking fic i read years ago and it's always been in my head bc it was so good but i could never remember what it was called and finally I found it again whoo
• The Sleeping Beauty Curse, E
  • When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken – at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth – by ‘true love’s kiss’, Harry Potter knows there’s no way on earth he’s the answer to this particular riddle. Is he?
• Then Comes a Mist and a Weeping Rain, E
  • It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that's ever so cross.
• The Standard You Walk Past, M
  • On returning to Hogwarts for their Eighth Year, Headmistress McGonagall decided to room Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter together. She may have hoped for a leading example of house unity; the other students fully expected insults and fights. But nothing happened. That was, until Harry sleepwalked into Draco’s bed.
• Timeshare, M
  • “It’s not for long,” Hermione said. “By the time we get back to Hogwarts, the Unfettering Brew will be ready.” “Listen to you!” Ron said. “He’s got to get through a month with the Dursleys and a month at Malfoy Manor. With Draco Malfoy.” “Yeah, thanks,” Harry said, because he hadn’t just spent the last week contemplating just how much more horrible his summer holidays were about to be than they’d ever been before.
• Annus Mirabilis, E
  • Harry and Malfoy are trapped at Hogwarts around the time the school was founded. Stuck with a different way of doing magic, with no chocolate, and with each other, they have to find a way to work together if they want a chance to go home.
    • this is so unique??? and im a certified hoe for time travel fics and this is great
• Eternally Consistent, E
  • Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter assumed they would never be anything but civil enemies, until Potter lands on Malfoy's doorstep, bleeding, covered in curses, and acting very strangely indeed
    • i loooove time travel fics and this one is *chefs kiss*
• Away Childish Things, T
  • Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him.
    • incredible incredible INCREDIBLE the way it was all structured and the writing and just everything was so good
• Paradox, M
  • Thanks to a clever bit of magic and the help of an old acquaintance, Draco is given the chance to relive his years at Hogwarts with the knowledge of what exactly is in store for the future. However, when things tumble out of Draco's grasp, he finds himself losing his memories of the life he's already led as everything takes a startling turn away from what he'd always assumed to be his destiny.
    • love a good hogwarts era time travel fix it fic
• At the Crossroads There We’ll Meet, E
  • Potter keeps dying; Draco keeps saving him.
• Matchmaker, Matchmaker, E
  • Sometimes, Harry can't help but wonder why such strange shit always happens to him.

• Bargain, T
  • In which everything is the same but Newt survives
• Where You Lead, M
  • After Newt's death, Thomas can't settle at the Safe Haven. He goes out during a storm and is struck by lightning- only to find that he has been sent a year into the past, it’s his first day in the Glade, and he can remember EVERYTHING. And, because Thomas still had some of Newts blood on him somewhere, so can Newt. Cue the boys falling in love and trying to rewrite history.

-----[ The Raven Cycle ]-----

[ Ronan/Gansey ]

so basically im a slut for ronan/gansey ok im not here to be judged dont want ppl coming at me with pitchforks but their dynamic is glorious

• Carry Your Throne, G
  • Ronan's heart constricts painfully. He's got the urge to pull Gansey upright and shake him until he snaps out of this, and he tries to steady himself. He pulls Gansey's head forward until his forehead is resting heavily against Ronan's hip, and squeezes the back of Gansey's neck again, massaging the tense muscles with broad sweeps of his thumb. His other hand runs over Gansey's scalp, the same way he brushes his hand over Chainsaw's feathers. As always, words get caught in his throat without making it to his lips, and he tries to transmit them in the movements of his hands. I've got you. You’re alright.
• As certain dark things are loved, M
  • "You keep talking about leashing me, Gansey, but you never do." Ronan licked his lips, a dirty challenge in his eyes that made Gansey take the leash from his hand despite his initial hesitation.
• Until We Bleed, E
  • Ronan, Gansey, and an impromptu, steamy moment in the Pig.
    • I kind of love this a lot
• Blood and Teeth and a String of Mistakes, Ronan/Gansey, M
  • First they were friends. Then they were friends who kissed. Then they were something else entirely.
• how not to kiss your best friend (and other educational activities}, T
  • Gansey closes his eyes because keeping them open makes him dizzy; too close, too hot, too much. In retrospect, he should have closed them after he’d made contact, as his first attempt misses its mark and lands just off Ronan’s chin. The kissing equivalent to tripping up stairs. “Jesus.” Gansey exasperates, noticing finally that his hands have fisted themselves in the front of Ronan’s t-shirt, holding on to all but his dignity, “Jesus, I missed.”
• Osculum, E
  • More and more, Gansey noticed the way Ronan would always calm and settle after someone pressed their lips to him.

[ Random ]

  • "What about you?" Adam sat up on his elbows. "Who's on your approved list?"

    • this writers just so good??? at like putting murphys thoughts into words
• i got me an appetite; now i can taste it, Bellamy/Murphy, E
  • Before the descent, Abby handed him a set of syringes. “We’ll be on the ground before you even have to use these," she had promised. But they hadn't made it, and the syringes themselves hadn’t made it through the landing; Murphy found them shattered in his pocket after their landing and hadn’t thought of them since. How could Murphy worry about his medicine when he needed to focus on not being murdered by the grounders, the climate, or his own fucking people? His heat had never been an immediate threat, but now it was here, there was nothing to stop it, and no one to help him.
