Title: Put Your Mouth Where Your Money Is

Author: rebelwriter6561

Canon: X-Men (Filmverse)

Pairing: Kurt Wagner/Warren Worthington III

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 9,015

Summary: Kurt and Warren have a talk about true love and first times. It all goes downhill from there.

Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen

Pairing: Sukuna/Uraume

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,175

Summary: Sukuna loves when Uraume is angry at him. Taunting Uraume about their feelings for him goes too far, though.

Title: Warrior

Author: K_Oss

Canon: X-Men (Filmverse)

Pairing: Peter Maximoff/Kurt Wagner

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 2,032

Summary: Kurt can't help but feel that he wasn't supposed to be here. Peter tries to convince him otherwise. (Set during X-Men: Apocalypse)

Recommendation: I must confess I did not come away from the movie with this pairing in mind, so I blame really good fanart for even thinking of it. But now that it's out there, well, it's so cute. I love these two bonding over powers that are best suited to defensive maneuvers (which is ironic in the extreme considering Erik and Raven).

Title: Belonging
Author: citrinesunset
Canon: X-Men (Filmverse)
Pairing: Ororo Munroe/Jean Grey
Rating: General [G]
Word Count: 2,545
Summary: After Apocalypse, Jean befriends Ororo. And Ororo is smitten.

Recommendation: Little Jean and Ororo are so freaking cute. It's good for Jean to have someone who isn't afraid of her, and it's good for Ororo to have someone who's not going to judge her for her past.

Title: Rise
Author: littledust
Canon: X-Men (Filmverse)
Pairing: Raven Darkholme/Angel Salvadore
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 3,204
Summary: Angel doesn't leave a note for her mother, doesn't look back as she leaps into the air. What would she say? I love you. Don't come looking for me. Try to stay alive. (Angel's escapes, from her childhood home to Trask Industries.)

Recommendation: Oh man, Angel wasn't my favorite character in the movie but littledust makes me feel for her. Raven makes a lovely knight in blue scales.

Title: Something In The Air (Is Giving Me Bad Ideas)
Author: lady_ragnell
Canon: Supergirl | DCCW
Pairing: James Olsen/Winn Schott Jr.
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 2,048

Title: The Taste of Blue
Author: Starcross
Canon: Star Wars - The Clone Wars
Pairing: Aayla Secura/Commander Bly
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 9,862
Summary: Bly had always despised the Jedi. So it was quite unfair from life that the first woman to ever seem care about him was one of those Mystical Jerks. Then again, it was bad manners to hate someone who had saved his life. Repeatedly. And who was cute and funny and taught him to wield a lightsaber and whose skin glistened like a warm sea at dusk... Yeah, it was definitely about bad manners.

Title: The Predator series

Author: Irony_Rocks

Canon: Predators

Pairing: Isabelle/Royce

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 10,483

Summary: Getting off the planet is proving as impossible as she thought it would be, but that doesn't stop Royce any.

Recommendation: Man, I saw this movie again on tv and I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed it. It never was popular enough for a lot of fanfic, but this one makes up for it by being so good and it along with it's sequel, The Compass Always Points North, are what I'd consider these two's best case scenario.

Title: Move with the Movement (Touch)

Author: Damkianna

Canon: Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers

Pairing: Sarah Cantrell/Na'Feel

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 4,552

Summary: Four times Na'Feel touched Sarah, one way or another, plus the time Sarah finally reached out first.

Recommendation: What is better than a rare pairing for the lads, one for the lasses as well and it honestly is a treat with these badass ladies. Uh, Mars and Narn feels straight to the heart.

Recommendation #2,666

Title: Take the Stage (And Deliver)

Author: fiveisarat

Canon: Gotham

Pairing: Victor Zsasz/Carlos Alvarez

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 3,656

Summary: "You guys wanna do a strip search? I'd let Alvarez do it. He's handsome." Or, Victor is brought in to the GCPD for an interrogation and a strip search, and Alvarez worries incessantly about the limits to his professionalism.

Recommendation: I've made no secret of my love of rare pairings and minor characters and if that wasn't enough this one - is practically canon. ;D

Recommendation #2,594

Title: It Would Have Been Enough

Author: areyouarealmonster

Canon: Gotham

Pairing: Harvey Bullock/Alfred Pennyworth

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 5,241

Summary: Bruce and Alfred have reunited, and Alfred is back at Wayne Manor. Passover is coming up and Bruce doesn't want to have seders, but Alfred insists for a bit of normalcy. In a twist of fate, Alfred then runs into Harvey Bullock in the Passover section of the supermarket, and invites him to join them for the first night.

Recommendation: OMG, I LOVE Harvey (and the Waynes) being Jewish and presiding over a Seder for Bruce and Alfred because, Alfred bless him, wants Bruce to have the kind of holidays that his parents would have given him. And Harvey and Alfred getting a chance to bond is just bonus.

Recommendation #2,593

Title: Monroe's Fairytale Halfway House

Author: mrsvc

Canon: Grimm

Pairing: Nick Burkhardt/Monroe

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 8,034

Summary: Monroe looks at Nick, with his bright blue eyes and his silly teenage boy hair cut, and he thinks maybe it isn't so silly, that Barry thought they were together. It should be ridiculous, a Grimm and a Blutbad, and it kind of was, but right now, Monroe saw it as a whole different type of hilarious. It was trying to find every one's shoes at night when Barry and Roddy left to go out to eat, or slipping a few dollars in Gracie's pocket before she and Hansen left in the morning. It was Holly curled up on the floor with her head on Nick's knee waiting for her mom to come pick her up. It was beers at midnight, when the house was quiet, and coffee in the morning when it wasn't so peaceful.

Recommendation: So a couple of months ago, I tested positive for COVID (despite being vaccinated in the spring) so I had to isolate and in my isolation the spouse and I rewatched the show Grimm. It had been years since I'd seen it and I'd forgotten how much I'd like the first few seasons. I must confess that I never did ship Nick with Monroe mostly because Monroe and Rosalee were just so darn cute, but this story managed to appeal despite that. They helped so many young people it pleased me to think of them staying in their lives. (Oh, and I had a mild case and have recovered well.)

Recommendation #2,580

Title: To Have a Home

Author: bazemayonnaise

Canon: John Wick

Pairing: Charon/Zero

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 12,593

Summary: Zero doesn’t think he can keep his eyes open much longer, his tongue heavy and the resound ringing in his head a sure sign he’s running far too low on blood. It’s getting hard to think with the steady thump, so he lets his gut choose for him. Concierge, friend of John Wick, Zero’s gut tells him. Concierge can be trusted. Zero snorts a small laugh, fascinated by where this day has gone, then relaxes his grip on the sword, his right thumb and forefinger touching in a brief ‘okay’. Or, 5 times Zero doesn't adopt a dog and 1 time he does.

Recommendation: Now, you know that I love rare pairings and minor characters so I genuinely could not help myself when presented with this story. But sweet Jesus, it is so good. So many delicious details fleshing these two out. Uh, so good.

Title: Our Bodies, Ourselves

Author: Tamoline

Canon: Ant-Man | MCU

Pairing: Hope Van Dyne/Ava Starr

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 6,737

Summary: If there was one bad thing about being cured from near constant pain, it was this - her body had apparently decided to start misbehaving in the most ridiculous of ways. It *wanted* things now, ached for them.

Recommendation: Ah, the siren's call of rare pairings strikes again. I just can't help myself and this was so good.
