Monday Fic Recs
Jun. 30th, 2014 11:53 amIt's a pretty small post this week. You'd think being off work would have given me more time to read but noooooo
Steve/Bucky (MCU)
Fill Our Hearts With Thoughts Of Endless Night Time by torakowalski
“I don’t need food,” he said. He started off quiet then dropped to a whisper. “I need blood.”
I like vampire AUs okay? And this is perfect.

The grooves around Bucky's mouth deepen when he grins, rakish and wide. "Don't lie, you loved every decadent minute of it."
"Yeah, well, I never claimed to be smart where you're concerned," Steve shrugs, but answers with his own smile, because he doesn't think he could ever see Bucky smile and not want to in return.
Or:
Bucky discovers the horror of Wikipedia and Steve sort of fails to make breakfast. Post-Winter Soldier domestic fluff, because there isn't enough, and they deserve it. :)
Sometimes you need a break from all the angst and pain :D
Podfic
So,
so_shhy has recently got me into podfic and I seriously cannot believe I've never listened to any before. SO GOOD! So, I figured since I do weekly recs anyway I may as well share the podfics I've been enjoying
The majority of the one I'll rec are ones where I've recced the text version at some point in the past but, if you missed it for whatever reason, most of these will have a link to that if you'd prefer to read it.
Merlin/Arthur (Merlin)
Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin written by anon and read by lunchee
Arthur is a BNF and Merlin is his prized beta
This was the first podfic I ever listened to and so far it's my favourite. The reader has such an expressive voice and the podfic has really great sound effects. Loved it
Steve/Tony (MCU)
Run Program: DUM-E written by amuly and read by kalakirya
Taking care of Tony is a lot of work. Especially when you’ve only got one arm. And your code dates back to the 1980s.
This is another really great one. I love the voices the reader does for the different characters.
Clint/Coulson (MCU)
Learn How to Tell You Goodbye written by torakowalski and read by liannabob
When Phil Coulson's life model decoy is attacked on the Helicarrier, the World Security Council seizes the opportunity to send him deep undercover in Russia.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Clint Barton struggles to come to terms with the loss of his handler and unexpectedly finding himself part of the Avengers, a group of people who can't quite call themselves a team. Yet.
I read this fic a LONG time ago so it was actually nice to come back to it now that I have welcomed Bucky Barnes into my life.
The reader has a really soothing voice in this one yet at the same time, despite having read the fic before, I found myself getting tense when shit was going down.
