Summary
It's a bright cold day in London, and the sun is blazing through the frozen atmosphere. It's a bright cold day in London, and the city is steel and stone and brick, sunset-deep and dusky. It's a bright cold day in London, and the pigeons dip and soar and turn through the same patch of sky, again and again.
A story about stories.

"Illogical" wasn't a word that ever should have come out of Leonard McCoy's mouth, so when it happened, he looked up through a narrowed pair of Vulcan eyes and into his own face.

Summary
After a serious incident aboard a starship, Commander Spock is demoted and transferred to a remote base where he must now serve with other "undesirables." He adjusts to his new rank and duties, and, while the future does look bleak, he is not ready to give up on himself or Starfleet yet. There is work to be done and hope to be found, especially as he begins to get to know his new colleagues, particularly one intriguing engineering officer James Kirk...

Summary
Nolan is aware that he's being weird. He's super self aware about that. He just doesn't know how to stop doing it.
TK slapped him on the back after a win against the Pens yesterday, half stripped down before his shower, the exact same slap he's given Nolan a hundred times before. And Nolan's balls had fucking pulsed. Just from that, a slap that sort of vaguely stung and was not at all sexy, in a room that literally smelled like years of Claude Giroux's ass sweat.
So Nolan's being weird. Sue him.

Summary
Natalia is stacking blocks very carefully when the adults come into the room. None of them look at her, because they're all looking at her father. He's wearing combat gear, and the hair on the left side of his head is slicked back with blood. He smells like smoke and something unnameable, sweet and dark and a little sickly in her nose.
Father is saying, “Don't be ridiculous. The only thing children are good at is disobeying.”

absolutely NO ONE writes a stucky love story for the ages the way speranza does, holy shit. the way this fic gives steve and bucky an entire life story that makes the events of the movies feel like a footnote is absolutely incredible, and steve's struggle with religion through his entire life (and also this fic) resonates so much with me. a masterpiece.

‘Here?’ Yusuf asked. He sounded vaguely horrified. ‘There are four dead bodies not even five meters away from you right now.’
‘And I killed them for you,’ Niccolò said. ‘That is the very definition of romantic.’
this is, i think, the greatest take on "enemies to lovers"

Traveling through Greece with Yusuf after fleeing the Holy Land, Nicolò suffers a crisis of faith.

this is truly an impressive amount of tropes to squash wonderfully into one fic, and i love even more that the author takes it one step further for trope subversion. just very cute.

Summary
Sam puts the Trouble Man soundtrack on repeat, like a talisman at first, when he thinks that Steve might die. The doctors are grim and serious, claiming that they did what they could for him, removing the bullets and stitching his insides back together. A few hours later, the doctors' faces get less grim, more confused, and a few hours after that, they're throwing their arms up in the air in frustration and grinning with triumph at the same time, because apparently the Super Soldier Serum is worth more than just the fastest mile in human history.
Sam spends that time beside Steve, in the position he's gotten used to after only a couple of days: on his right, waiting to see where he'll run next, ready to get his back.

the reason I’ve stopped caring about the mcu post-tws is because of all the wonderful fic authors like this one who do an infinitely better job of storytelling. it’s deceptively simple and so good.
