I love them so dearly for the way they carve intimacy out of violence.

Summary:

Just a slight spin-off from My Body's Broken, Yours is Spent - what if L did keep Near instead of sending him to Wammy's House?

Bookmarker's Notes:

A spin-off of a fic where Near is a child prostitute and L gets him out of the brothel and into the Wammy house. I love this style of writing from Near's perspective, this is definitely up there with "His Reassuring Visions Were The Pillars Of Your Faith", also by this author. It's one of those fics that I'll be thinking about for a while for the way it haunted me and hollowed me out.

Pairings: Hidan/Kakuzu
Fandom: Naruto open_in_new

Summary:

In the aftermath of a perfect ritual, Hidan is awarded the highest blessing his god can give. Kakuzu reaps the benefits.

“His partner eyes him knowingly, and it seems like only seconds pass, but the next thing Hidan knows they are gone from the clearing and is his face pressed into the bed they share. A strong hand grips at the back of his neck as Kakuzu tears away both their clothes, his threads expediting the process. The rosary is left where it always is, the blood flecked metal smooth under his palm, forever warmed from Hidan's skin.”

Bookmarker's Notes:

Didn't build a way for my program to recognize multiple authors in the author field. Link to ninjacat (lordkuronekosama).

Fandom: Harry Potter open_in_new

Summary:

For James, it's always been Lily. With one exception. You think you'll tell him about it one day, maybe when you're in your twenties and a bit drunk, how for one spring you sort-of fancied him, and you'll laugh and then he'll laugh and it won't be awkward at all.

Bookmarker's Notes:

This author captured exactly what it feels like to have a crush at fourteen, an experience that I hope to never repeat, but it's somewhat cathartic to read this style of bittersweet longing from someone else's head.

Pairings: Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Fandom: Supernatural open_in_new

Summary:

Sam grew into wanting Dean the same way he grew into his bones. It isn’t something they can will or trick or ignore away. It isn’t something that can be undone.

Bookmarker's Notes:

This one left me at a loss for words. The smut and tension were next level, the prose was phenomenal.

Pairings: Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester
Fandom: Supernatural open_in_new

Summary:

“So this morning,” Dean ventures as they blast down the highway in pitch black night toward a probable werewolf case.

Sam looks over at him, thin eyebrows raised, eyes clear and calm. He’s not even difficult about it, doesn’t ask what Dean is after, doesn’t deny what had happened. Instead he says, very simply, “I just figure, why lie?”

Alright then.

Bookmarker's Notes:

The CODEPENDENCY. Weirdcest at its finest. Please give this a read if you love blurring of boundaries in any context.

Pairings: Gaara/Sai
Fandom: Naruto open_in_new

Summary:

“Are you single?” Gaara asks. He’s not sure how he’s meant to do this.

“Oh, I see,” the man says after a pause. “I’ve read about this. You’re asking me out, and I should answer based on my interest rather than my actual relationship status.”

Good, he’s making this easy, Gaara thinks.

OR: Gaara asks Sai out.

Bookmarker's Notes:

One of the funniest things I've ever read. Hands down. They're made for each other.

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

Summary:

Post-BoO, Nico accidentally travels back in time to just after The Titan's Curse, and meets 14-year-old Percy again.

Fandom: Death Note open_in_new

Summary:

[Abandoned fic] Years after L's death, Near looks back at his relationship with a clearer vision as he accepts that he was groomed by somebody he admired and loved.

Bookmarker's Notes:

This is a beautiful and heartbreaking piece that left a bit of itself in my heart. It's all grief and love and mourning recollection. The last chapter was particularly hard for me, and the ending, though open, was very satisfying. Would recommend if you want something emotional and meaty.

Pairings: Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX open_in_new

Summary:

The next time Manjoume saw him, Judai had a head full of spirits and a desperation that almost showed through.

Bookmarker's Notes:

If every fic in the world spontaneously disappeared, this would be the one I would mourn the most. The banter is top tier and the story is grounded enough to get away with feeling like a series of dreams. This person's prose is excellent, I want to build a house out of their words and live in it.

Straying is a love letter to GX first and a realistic slow burn second. I love hearing about the author's thought process behind every single major match. There isn't anything I would change about this fic. I have to physically restrain myself from rereading all two-hundred thousand words of it every time it so much as crosses my mind.
