Weekly Reading Recs Pt.2 - Blog Posts

First off, I didn’t realize that this didn’t get posted last Monday (woops), so it's late but hey, why not?

This week I moved away from MDZS and TGCF and got hooked on a few different fandoms. I was browsing and found someone recommending this Good Omens fic and I’m so glad I read it and am reall surprised I hadn’t heard/read it before! It is for sure a new all time favorite. Overall, I jumped around a few fandoms and I’m ending the week by (once again) becoming obsessed with Star Trek TOS/AOS fics (a.k.a spirk) and managed to find some new favorites (one of which I already recommended to my best friend). 

GOOD OMENS

🔹️ 𝙊𝙉 𝙀𝙎𝙋𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙃𝙀𝘾𝙔 (𝙊𝙍 𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙏𝙊 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔, 𝘽𝙐𝙏 𝙒𝙃𝙊𝙇𝙇𝙔, 𝙁𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙄𝙉 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 𝘼 𝙎𝙊𝙃𝙊 𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙍) [AO3] by 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙡 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Aziraphale x Crowley 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 21 Chapters | 133.4K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: 1941 is the London Blitz and the year that MI5 really comes into its own with the new infamous ‘double cross’ system. The service keep tabs on suspects, root out enemy agents and try to turn them into doubles.

Anthony J Crowley is fucking great at this job. He can be sneaky, underhanded and damn ruthless but also charming and kind. It’s what makes him good at turning.

Aziraphale is just a regular Soho bookseller who loves his shop and books and good food and wine when he’s approached by a woman claiming to be MI5, wanting to recruit him for espionage. The poor man is too trusting and gets the shock of his life when he’s approached by a charming but dangerous-looking man also claiming to be MI5.

Crowley recruits Aziraphale to double cross a double crosser and Aziraphale takes to espionage like a duck to water.

Danger, hijinks, and sex ensue.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: A human au I didn’t know I needed! Somehow the author manages to blend everything really well into a human au while keeping everyone in character.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Alec Hardison x Parker x Eliot Spencer 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | General | 1 Chapter| 9.5K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: The woman laughs, her crinkling behind her silver cat-eye glasses. “You must be Eliot,” she says, cheerfully. “He warned me you were charming. Where is he?”

Eliot’s stomach drops as he realizes tat this a terrible fucking mistake, because this ain’t a random elderly woman showing up to collect cans or take up donations or whatever it is that elderly woman in weirdfucking places like Portland do. This is Hardison’s nana, and Eliot has just opened the door to the apartment--to Hardison and Parker’s apartment--like he lives there.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: When Hardison’s Nana visits Eliot ends up feeling like an outsider. This fic showed us Eliot’s insecurities and how he feels like he’s intruding but Parker and Hardison prove his isn’t true with the bonus of introducing us to Hardison’s Nana! (We need more fics with Nana.)

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Alex Hardison x Parker x Eliot Spencer 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 4.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Five times Parker, Harrison, and Eliot lived out romcom tropes for a con, and one time they found themselves in one for real.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I love 5 + 1 fics and this was just so cute, especially because they don’t realize they are playing out romcom moments.

STAR TREK (TOS/AOS)

🔹️ 𝙒𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙈𝙀𝙀𝙏 𝘼𝙂𝘼𝙄𝙉 [AO3] by 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙨𝙠𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: James ‘Jim’ Kirk x Spock 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 13 Chapters | 123.4K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: For the first time in his life, things are going right for Jim Kirk. He’s been promoted to captain, he’s getting the flagship, and he gets to hand-pick most of his crew. When he’s sure that it’s bound to mess everything up. There’s a catch, though; even though no one (Jim included) knows it, this is the very same Spock that Jim was best friends with as a kid.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: An amazing fic about what it would have been like if Kirk and Spock were childhood friends. The author has an amazing talent of writing everyone in character and making sure that you get hooked and can’t put the story down. I knew by the second chapter this was going to be a new favorite and by the time I finished had already recommended to one of my besties.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: James ‘Jim’ Kirk x Spock 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 5 Chapters | 24.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: What really happened on Ardana. It’s James Kirk, not Droxine, who Spock wants to woo.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: Basically, Spock tries to make Kirk jealous which may lead to them both finding out their attraction is more mutual than originally thought.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Kirk saves Vulcan from Nero at high cost to himself. It falls to Spock to pick up the pieces.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I thought this fic was really interesting because I don’t recall ever reading anything like this before. It was a really awesome fix it
