Title: A Quiet Hope for the Future

Author: AfterGlow13

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Floyd Lawton/Rick Flag; June Moone/Rick Flag

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 28,067

Summary: You know those stories where June leaves to get help? This isn't one of them. “How's your girl doing?” Lawton asks as Rick finishes seeing him safely back into his old cell at Belle Reve Prison. The trip back from seeing his daughter had been quiet, for the most part. Mostly just Lawton talking about his little girl. “June is alright,” Rick answers honestly, and he feels a quiet hope for the future. When he gets home, he finds June in bed. When he'd left two days ago he'd pressed a kiss to her forehead, letting her sleep in. It's almost 3 pm now. The coffee he'd left perking away merrily for when she did wake up is untouched.""

Recommendation: This was more than a little gut wrenching and it does not gloss over June's trauma and what that would have done to her and in turn what that would do to Rick. As horrible as it is, it does not leave you there but moves you on to hope and an after.

Title: Beats the 9 to 5

Author: butt_muncher_seven

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Floyd Lawton/Rick Flag

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 1,585

Summary: June Moon's spent the last couple years riding shotgun to an other dimensional maniac and needs some time to figure her life out. Floyd gets that, sometimes you need to cut the past off completely to move ahead. Flag's not taking it so well. Any other time Floyd'd keep out of it and let time do its thing, but they're stuck in Perth surrounded by crab-men (man-crabs?) and they could really use the full attention of their squad leader right now. -- If Floyd needs to to take one for the team to make that happen, he's okay with that.

Recommendation: One can't have their team leader being, ah, tense now can they. *waggles eyebrows*

Title: I Want a Coffeeshop AU with You

Author: mydogfoundthechainsaw

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Floyd Lawton/Rick Flag

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 5,926

Summary: By sticking himself alone with Floyd on visits to his daughter, Rick slowly realizes he's signed up for a lot more than he bargained for. Mostly told in transport rides to and from Zoe's. Featuring baking!Rick, soft!Floyd, and an adorable friendship with June.

Recommendation: I liked this so much. It's not a coffee shop au, but boy, they wish it was. Rick showing his care and appreciation through food is so great. And I love the idea of the whole squad getting behind a shop for Rick.

Title: A Snowball's Chance in Hell

Author: lousy_science

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Floyd Lawton/Rick Flag

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 6,444

Summary: It's not the rescuing that bothers Floyd. It's this feeling that he's the one responsible for what happened to Rick.

Recommendation: This was not the best of movies, but I can not but still like these two together. For all of their differences they are very much the same. Also, I loved them continuing to use rock paper scissors.

Title: Maid in America

Author: lousy_science

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 10,929

Summary: Floyd Lawton needs a housekeeper. Rick Flag needs a job. Their rocky road to domestic bliss involves guns, bleach, organic vegetables, and brunch with Harley Quinn.

Recommendation: It's entertaining to see all of the squad being legit and upstanding citizens, weird but good. While I love the budding relationship between Rick and Floyd, I was utterly charmed with the interactions between Zoe and Rick they seem like two peas in a pod. I was also pretty sold on the reason for Rick leaving the military and it's resolution.

Title: Capture the Flag

Author: Karee_the_wise

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Not Rated [PG]

Word Count: 8,105

Summary: Flag and his Black Ops team has been captured, and Waller calls on the Suicide Squad to get them back.

Recommendation: I can't resist liking the play on words that is this title. And while this story hints at Flagshot it is more about the squad and the growing loyalty born of respect and affection amongst the members and towards Flag. The two sequels, Time-lapse and Wreak Havoc, further the Flagshot storyline but as yet do not resolve the underlying plot. I really hope the author does continue.

Title: Hugger

Author: bilesandthesourwolf

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: General [G]

Word Count: 2,018

Summary: Floyd Lawton didn't do hugs. Well. He was willing to make an exception.

Recommendation: I love that Flag slowly but surely wins over his squad not by being a commander with them as his soldiers, but he wins them over with hugs and warm attention. Something that is in short supply for all of them. Floyd is ultimately not immune to this either.

Title: The Shower Fic That Literally No One Asked For

Author: lousy_science

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 9,863

Summary: "Quarantine?"

Recommendation: Don't let the title fool you, this is nowhere near as uncomplicated as it would suggest. Sure showers are had and fun in the shower is had, but there are also feelings both spoken and unspoken. As well as a rooster named Vince. Good stuff.

Title: Standing in the Rain

Author: invincibleironwoman

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 7,965

Summary: See, Rick's got this idea that he needs to pay Lawton back for saving his life. He just goes about it the wrong way.

Recommendation: The notion of Rick looking after Zoe and having a relationship with her is so sweet it gets me right in the feels. These two caring about each other but expressing that by giving each other shit also gets me in the feels as well.

Title: Just Like a Tattoo

Author: winnix

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 4,237

Summary: Harley gets a tattoo gun.

Recommendation: Well this is cute, squad bonding. I love it. Though I'm not really sure that I'd ever feel comfortable with a permanently misspelled word on my body. Just, uh, freaks me out thinking about it.

Title: Something Bittersweet

Author: Cloudnine101

Canon: Suicide Squad

Pairing: Rick Flag/Floyd Lawton

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 2,056

Summary: Rick can't stop coming back.

Recommendation: I saw the movie and while I liked the characters and thought their chemistry was fun, the plot was . . . not great. Jared Leto's Joker pisses me off on a variety of levels, from the romanticizing abusive relationships to just being stupid and unscary. Deadshot was great though and I love the thought of Harley and him being bros, but I liked the potential between him and Flag. I loved the little scene at the end with Floyd visiting with his daughter being overseen by Rick and I love that this author fleshed that out a bit.
