Title: Why Do Stars Fall Down from the Sky

Author: Vera

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 1,751

Summary: Love stories are all the same. Some just have unusual details. Or; Venom likes The Carpenters.

Recommendation: I can't so much as glance at this title without singing this song to myself. That notwithstanding the story is still SUPER cute.

Title: All Mine

Author: stereobone

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 4,050

Summary: They haven't talked about the kiss. They might never talk about the kiss. The one with Venom's tongue down his throat. In the forest. When he grabbed Eddie close and swam down Eddie's body through his mouth, literally breathed his way into him. Eddie felt like his own body had reached for Venom, tried to hold on, and he wanted all of it before he even knew who was underneath. -- That kiss.

Recommendation: Venom is such a possessive little b*tch but he really just wants to take care of Eddie. Mrs. Chen asking after Eddie's parasite, I died.

Title: A Hunter's Feast

Author: Razzledazzy

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote; Hannibal Lecter/Will Graham

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 4,038

Summary: His work interviewing serial killers causes him to meet many strange people and make even stranger friends, but how is he supposed to explain that he knows the texture and the taste in his mouth, regardless of how fanciful the presentation on the plate in front of him appears?

Recommendation: IT'S PEOPLE! And Venom and Eddie can totally tell. LOL. I can't ever seem to say no to a story about Hannibal and Will meeting other character from different fandoms.

Title: Romantic Tomography

Author: pigeonstatueconundrum

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Anne Weying/Dan Lewis; Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 3,682

Summary: Remaining neutral about Eddie Brock was much easier in principle when he’s the unseen ex of your girlfriend, a little harder in practice when you’ve helped him through the worst week of his life. “Pay up.” Anne flops down next to him on the couch two months later. They’re still fishing bits of the Life Foundation Rocket out of the Pacific, but no evil or chaotic neutral ex-terrestrial goo has been recovered. Supposedly. Dan fishes the promised $20 out of his wallet, “He finally told you.” - Dr Dan Lewis would like to stop feeling like the third billed in the romantic comedy that is his life.

Recommendation: Okay, can I express how great it is that we've got two great new boyfriends/husbands (Dan being one, Jim Paxton from Ant-Man being the other) that are not jealous of the Ex and are in fact really stand up guys that just want to help. It makes you really appreciate why Anne (and Maggie) had fallen for them in the first place.

Title: Perfect Symbiosis

Author: IViv

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 29,574

Summary: Carlton Drake and Riot are drawn to each other. Trouble is, neither of them knows what affection is. Following the destruction of the rocket, the pair becomes separated. This is the story about Riot finding his lost host. They learn to appreciate each other and heal as two halves of a whole.

Recommendation: I do love a plot-ish story for rare pairings, and this one is so good! There are feelings, but they are not dealt with well (if Venom and Eddie are your relationship model you've got problems). There are worse bad guys then the malevolent space goo (Hydra) as well as some reasonably serious post-torture health complications. But Riot possesses a kitten, so it's totally worth it.

Title: Mutualism

Author: NeurotropicAgentX

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 4,162

Summary: ‘Do it,’ Drake said suddenly. Riot froze, blades poised. 'You don’t know what you’re asking for'. Drake’s gaze flicked over their reflection, looking for a piece of Riot to make eye contact with. ‘You miss control. You miss hunting. You’re a predator, I get that,’ Drake was speaking fast now, the words falling from his lips and nearly running into each other. ‘I also know that you can fix anything you do to me and you can feel what I’m feeling. I’m your host, Riot. I want to give you whatever you need.’

Recommendation: "Ruthless opportunistic hunters" does not just describe the symbiotes and it's funny to watch Riot coming to that realization.

Title: Experimental Design

Author: chrofeather

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 4,835

Summary: Riot discovers what an orgasm is and demands to know more. (Un)fortunately for Carlton Drake, Riot can be quite convincing.

Recommendation: Drake introduces Riot to the joys of masturbation, quite unintentionally creating a monster *giggle snort*.

Title: Receptor Mediated

Author: NeurotropicAgentX

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 4,363

Summary: Riot prefers taking over a host completely and not having to deal with a true symbiosis, but Drake needs to stay intact for the plan to work. It is unprepared for Drake, who doesn’t have the sense to be afraid. Riot is equally unprepared for the complex flood of chemicals that make up the human experience.

Recommendation: Oh yeah, this is the exact flavor of sin I was looking for. When the movie first dropped I'd had thought of this pairing, but no one else seemed but now, oh now *waggles eyebrows*. This is not the wholesome *snerk* love story of Symbrock this is the bad guys being bad together. And maybe getting a little attached.

Title: Routine Cum Therapy

Author: teethingmaw

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 9,497

Summary: The morning Eddie wakes up with his first hard-on in his post-Venom life, he finds himself at a bit of a loss. -- Learning to get sexy with your symbiote.

Recommendation: That awkward time between you and your symbiote when you're hard up and your symbiote wants to know what all the fuss is about. Poor Eddie's trying to hold off as long as he can but really it is as inevitable as the tides.

Title: You Don't Have to Say It

Author: Catchclaw

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 1,933

Summary: If there’s one thing Eddie's learned about Venom these past few months, it’s that the thing is a jealous bitch. As for what Venom's learned about him, well--

Recommendation: I am highly amused that Venom has picked up preferences from Anne as well as had what amounts to conversations about Eddie with her. Lol, poor Eddie.

Title: Alternative Pipe-Cleaning Methods

Author: cupidsbow

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 1,677

Summary: 'Eddie?' they demand. 'Eddie!' Eddie drags his attention away from the story he’s working on. “What is it, bud?” 'Are you going into heat?' “What?” Eddie makes his confused face. “No!” 'Or planning to breed?' Eddie’s forehead ruts get even deeper. “Where the hell is this coming from?” 'You are making too many of your breeding worms.' Eddie goes tense all over. “Breeding worms?” he says, shrilly enough to make Venom flinch.

Recommendation: Holy crap. This is so funny. And messed up. And so good. "Breeding worms" I've died, I'm dead.

Title: Wrapped Around Your Finger

Author: arahir

Podficcer: DuendeVerde4

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 5,630

Summary: Venom goes about love in every wrong way he knows how. Thank god for late night television.

Recommendation: So as seems par for the course, I had meant to rec some Symbrock two summers ago while everyone was monsterfucking on main. Ah, better late than never I suppose. This is adorable with Venom learning about human relationships from late night sitcoms, getting it wrong but still super sweet.
