QNNNA's Den of Depravity

Pairings: Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian
Fandom: The Untamed open_in_new, Modao Zushi | Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation open_in_new

Summary:

There was no blood. No char. There was nothing to see except the strange softening of the Yiling Patriarch's mouth, as if just for a moment he was another person entirely.

"There is the mark of our bargain, and here is the challenge," said the Yiling Patriarch. "You may strike at me, exactly once, with your sword. I will not fight back; I will not resist you at all, Hanguang-jun." That silvery suggestiveness crept into his voice again. "And a year and a day from now, you will come to me and I will deliver exactly the same to you."

Lan Wangji heard his brother's voice raised in sharp and incomprehensible protest. His own heart was beating too loudly for him to hear anything else.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Adorable! Loved the identity bullshit and Lan Wangji at the Burial Mounds keepin' a promise. I really wish I could be there to see Xichen's face when he learns that his brother is marrying this man . . .

Pairings: Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia open_in_new

Summary:

While on house arrest, awaiting trial for a murder he doesn’t remember committing, Izuku comes face to face with himself. Meanwhile, determined to find what no one else will, Katsuki sorts through a pile of notebooks and their lives.

Or: Izuku gets accused of murder and Katsuki tries to prove him innocent.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Recommended to me by a dear friend with good taste. Very fond of the tense atmosphere and fast plot. Casefics are very hit-or-miss, this one is a hit.

Also, my code still isn't formatted for multiple authors. I feel terrible about this. While I devise a new system, here's Wildmage.

Pairings: Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia open_in_new

Summary:

“Everybody knows my type.” Kacchan’s breath is hot against Izuku’s face. “It’s pretty obvious, don’tcha think?”

Bookmarker's Notes:

One of my favorite dynamics and an absolutely horrifying fic. I had to include my favorite turns of phrase, as follows:

Kacchan’s teeth are bared in the low light, glistening with spit and pale as bleached bone. His mouth opens, tongue pink. Izuku can see into his dark throat, a swallowing thing.

and

A gold haloed monster gazes down at him, eyes hot coals.

I adore the sense of danger Izuku gets, and the patronizing, over-sexed way that Katsuki wants him. Leaves me numb.

Pairings: Chu Wanning/Mo Ran | Mo Weiyu
Fandom: The Husky and His White Cat Shizun open_in_new

Summary:

The jokes about soulless, unfeeling AIs are in pretty bad taste. Mo Ran's always thought so. They've got the full range of emotions that comes with sapience — and, yeah, he knows what that means now, he looked it up. AIs just…process those emotions differently. Faster. In dimensions made of pure computational matter. Anger and happiness, all made of math. 

There's nothing that says AIs can't cry. It's still a shock when Mo Ran comes around the end of a row and finds Xia Sini crying under the haitang tree. 

 

*

Mo Ran learned a long time ago exactly how little Chu Wanning thinks of him, and he's given up trying to change things. Still, hating his teacher doesn't mean he can't be friends with Xia Sini, Chu Wanning's newest AI, right?

...right?

Bookmarker's Notes:

Sci-fi AUs of Xianxia scratch a very particular itch for me – the genres mesh together in such a satisfying way. This was a beautiful exploration of Mo Ran and Chu Wanning, ft. my favorite plot device, Xia Sini!

Pairings: Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku

Summary:

He wants to make a home inside of Kacchan.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Legitimately glad Katsuki's into all that, because Christ almighty. Beautiful fic.

Pairings: Kageyama "Mob" Shigeo/Reigen Arataka, Kageyama "Mob" Shigeo & Reigen Arataka
Fandom: Mob Psycho 100 open_in_new

Summary:

The shame trickles back into him. It fills his spine with a chilly wet cold but his face grows hot and Mob doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say now, knowing that Reigen is half-smiling and that his father is dead.

(Despite Mob's best attempts, he has terrible, terrible timing.)

Bookmarker's Notes:

Quiveringpalm always knocks all the wind out of me. Almost painfully beautiful. I chose a random fic from my marked for later list, otherwise I would have probably avoided aged-up altogther, but I'm so glad I ended up reading this. The longing is palpable.

Pairings: Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Fandom: Supernatural open_in_new

Summary:

"'Sacrificial'? What are you sacrificing?"

Dean's black eyes glittered in the fluorescent lights. Sam's head was pounding from blood loss, his wrist ached where the knife went in and and he was freezing, wearing just his robe in the dungeon. He sighed.

"A quart of blood and most of my dignity."

Pairings: Nico di Angelo/Percy Jackson
Fandom: Percy Jackson open_in_new

Summary:

The first inkling I got that something wasn't right was when Nico hugged me.

Bookmarker's Notes:

I opened this in my browser what amounts to about a year ago, but I'm glad I found it (again) when I did. I should probably warn that this is pretty intense, untagged dub/noncon. With that out of the way, this is absolutely magnificent. Badwrong and grossgood and disgustingly sticky-sweet delicious. I love love love victim having to comfort their aggressor, and I would've absolutely loved to see the aftermath of all this.

Pairings: Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler/Kaiba Seto
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga) open_in_new

Summary:

Jounouchi opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again. “Oh, fuck no,” he said.

“You’ll do it, because you don’t have a choice,” Kaiba said icily. “And neither do I. Unfortunately.”

Bookmarker's Notes:

Full disclosure: I thought I hated these two together. This may prove an exception to the rule. The hate and lust and tension are all so impactful. I've been brought back to my enemies to enemies who fuck roots for the day. Thank fuck for the "Unromantic" tag here, it really pulled its weight.

Pairings: David & Max, David/Harrison
Fandom: Camp Camp open_in_new

Summary:

So basically Max finds out David is a pedophile and decides to blackmail him.

Bookmarker's Notes:

This is horror, plain and simple. Alcoholic_Kangaroo does it again!
