A handful I've liked lately, across different fandoms.
Bury Me, Bury Me by Raxheim. Locked Tomb. Rated E. Gideon/Ianthe. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45931729 In which Gideon gets a resurrection, a new name, and goes to Ianthe for help with a problem
(Or: Kiriona and Ianthe have sad, pathetic, angry sex. No one gets off and it doesn't feel good)
Comments: Very in-character. Loved the character voices for both of them, and the sex was written in such a cool way. There's a lot of emotional complications in this fic. It's executed beautifully here.
In the bed beside him by iffervescent. Bridgerton. Rated E. Simon/Anthony. https://archiveofourown.org/works/28450602 “I am in possession of something that you are not.” Anthony declares, raising his glass in a toast. “Brothers.”
Yes I am well aware of that, you little wretch, Simon thinks fondly to himself. Seeing as you never stop talking about them.
Comments: The smut and character dynamics were both delightful in this. Not shocked it's the top kudos'd Simon/Anthony fic in the tag. It hit me right where it hurts.
I hear the wicked get no rest, but when you do I hope you'll dream of me. by rachelm97x. Arcane. Rated E. Vi/Sevika. https://archiveofourown.org/works/44954053/chapters/113112979 Sevika has a deal with Vi. It doesn’t mean anything. Or does it?
Alternatively: Sevika simps for 13.5K words
Comments: Emotionally raw at times, this fic manages to enthrall me. I wasn't originally shipping this, but this fic managed to turn me into a believer. These two try so hard to make it work. Reading it, you really hope they get there.
