Weekly Reading Recs Pt.3 - Blog Posts

This week I’m fairly sure I read a lot more fic. While school and work have both kept me incredibly busy when I get free time (early in the morning or really late at night) I would relax by reading fic. As a multi-fandom person I usually read fics from multiple fandoms but this past week I went kinda crazy. 

However, Sunday I finally decided I would dive into the Sherlock fandom. Specifically johnlock. I think over a year ago I might have read a brief fic about these two but never really dived too deep into the fandom. Even though I kinda peaked at shipped them when watching the BBC show. I feel like next week I am going to have a lot more Sherlock fics. 

STAR TREK (TOS/AOS)

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

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I haven’t read a spirk fic like this where Kirk ended up saving Vulcan. We get to see him deal with the PTSD from being tortured and how Spock begins to see the real Kirk. Definitely a must read!

It is January, year 2063. Humanity has quietly achieved interstellar travel, and Jim Kirk’s soulbond stretches into the stars.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I love soulmate au’s and the au that spirk are the first to make contact. An amazing twist! Though, we need more first contact spirk fics.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: As Vulcans settled bases on Earth, as the war began, what was a timid relationship became volatile almost in a single moment. 

Not one day passed that Spock did not think of the blue-eyes boy and the love and companionship they shared. Bonded for life to a Terran, he welcomed himself to isolation from others emotionally. As he grew, he refused to allow himself to hold out any hope that Jim was still alive, not when the Terran body count continued to rise.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: The five times she wanted to leave and the one time she didn’t. 

(The five times he didn’t let her go and the one time he did.) 

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’ve always been fascinating by dark!Peter and through this fic we get to see how possessive and obsessed he is with Wendy. Taking a turn on the Poriginal Peter pan. It’s definetely not a healthy relationship (even though I put them as a pairing) but we get to see how Peter deals with those he loves (if thats what you can call it).

Worse still, Dianxia doesn’t seem to have any interest in consummating their relationship, leaving Hua Cheng in the  mdist of his greatest trial yet; keeping his lust from consuming them whole. 

But a gem cannot be polished without friction nor a man perfected without trials - and after everything, Hua Chen will not let this trial be the one that defeats him.

They figure out what to do together.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: An amazing fic where we get to not only discover San Lang’s female form but Xie Lian’s as well! Never really thought much about their female forms before this but I would enjoy reading more now!

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Hua Cheng has always given everything he is to Xie Lian. For once, Xie Lian wants him to be selfish so Xie Lian can give something back.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: A beautiful fic where San Lang learns to be selfish with Xie Lian (aka the type of fic that I’ve been dying to read and was not disappointed in).

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Hua Cheng/San Lang x Xie Lian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | 1 Chapter | 4.3K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: When Xie Lian is hurt, Hua Cheng keeps his hands to himself in penance. Xie Lian, however, insists on finding a resolution. After all - only a God should punish their most beloved worshipper. 

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: A fic I needed to read! I can definitely see this as canon because San Lang would definetely punish himself is his Dianxia got injured. Of course, we all know Xie Lian wouldn’t agree.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’m back at it again with the soulmate aus and this is one of the best soulmate mark aus I have read. Plus, we get to see Wei Ying deal with a little bit of PTSD from his former life. (Also, I have no clue how the author managed to pick the soulmarks so well. They could not have done a better job!) 

Also, THIS is another fic I read this week which is apart continuation of this story. Wei Ying finds out about Lan Zhan’s scars.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John is Sherlock’s internet boyfriend - from CANADA.

No one thinks he’s real.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: So... I kind of dived into the Sherlock fandom and loved this oneshot about johnlock meeting online. It’s especially funny because no one believes Sherlock can get a boyfriend.

He’s tried not to let it affect his life, but as any Lefty knows, that’s almost impossible.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: Wow! Was not expecting this when I first clicked because of the interesting summary. It’s a knack au where everyone has some kind of knack or ability and it blends so well into the original storyline (with the added bonus of johnlock)! It quickly became an all-time fav!
