scioscribeI'm home and have power, which means this is the perfect time to catch up on reccing my gifts from recent exchanges, all of which have been glorious.
Hurt/Comfort Exchange
Black Honey, 3.8k, MCU. A post-Infinity War AU where Tony and Nebula bum around the universe for a while, having trouble coming up with money, here zeroing in on Tony having to do some sex work to come up with some cash. The friendship between Tony and Nebula is lovely and tender.
But Never Broken, 9.1k, Iron Fist. Set between S1 and S2--Ward, Danny, and Colleen are all at a formal Rand reception when Harold manages to fuck with Ward from beyond the grave by getting him stuck with a poisoned needle. Wonderful h/c and friendship, with great relationship development in an in-between period for the characters.
stumble in my footsteps, 3.3k, Iron Fist. A dark-but-hopeful post-S2 story where Ward is blackmailed with footage from Harold's penthouse--that shows past, devastatingly creepy Harold/Ward noncon. Ward's trauma is handled perfectly, and Danny's protectiveness is top-notch.
Femslash Kink
our love is a fistfight, 2.2k, Guardians of the Galaxy, Gamora/Nebula. Scorching hot pre-canon sex pollen, where Gamora and Nebula wind up needing to "test" a mist that induces "frenzy." Terrific sense of their relationship in all its complexity, and again: incredibly hot.
Eat, Drink, and Make Merry
A Hole in the World, 4.1k, Dark Tower. Roland gets separated from the rest of the ka-tet, and his best chance of reunion is hunkering down and waiting--but he's in the middle of a desert, with no supplies. Luckily, a portal gives him temporary access to some Earth junk food. Perfectly captures the original series feeling of Roland drinking the Pepsi, with terrific food porn, and has lovely ka-tet feelings as well.
The Cartography of Feeling, 20.8k, Torchwood. Long, unbelievably iddy story of Ianto and Owen getting abducted and technologically soulbonded (well, given a device that lets them share sensations and emotions) and forced to fight as gladiators. Makes excellent use of Owen's undead status, as it complicates both the h/c of the gladiator fights and allows him to experience sensation (including eating) afresh through Ianto. Beautiful closeness, too.
Just Married
New Skies, New Stars, 9k, Thor. Amazing, perfectly characterized post-Ragnarok fic where it turns out that Loki's been under a magical chastity spell this whole time, and he needs a marriage to break it--if Val is willing to oblige. She is, but it brings up a lot of things she's tried to block out over the years. Tender, hot, and sweet, with a beautiful slow build.

So yeah, it was sort of a mix of shoveling in a bunch of things that are incredibly iddy for me, while also suspecting that they'd be iddy for you as well!
