Rec-cember #1: Sense8 Post-Season 1

I finished season 1 of Sense8 recently! It premiered on June 5, 2015. Season 2 premiered December 23, 2016 with a Christmas special. The rest of season two premiered May 5, 2017. SO I filtered for fic and vids that were updated prior to 23 December 2016 for my first rec list of rec_cember. If you have any season 1/post-season 1 sense8 recs to add, please do share (self-recs welcome)!

✰Lito/Hernando & Dani Seasons Fanvid by MurakiLovesg.
This is such a beautiful summary of Lito & Hernando & Dani during season 1. I really love the way it captured their shared joy by the end! Plus this song is so perfect for Lito.

✰Cold Shower by Callay (Will/Lito, Lito/Hernando, Rated Explicit).

Will’s trying to get his bearings, pulse racing. “Were you just – “ he starts, and then he knows the answer.

Because suddenly he’s with Lito, in his expansive, steam-clouded shower. And Lito’s with Hernando.

I wanted to read something with this ship ever since 1x06 and this fic delivers! I love how the author describes the way they switch between visiting and inhabiting each other's bodies. Will's inexperience compared with Lito's experience is so sexy to me.

✰[VID] Breath Me by Butterfly.
Gorgeous compilation of season 1! I really like how this highlights how extraordinary and meaningful their connection is with each other. The vidder does such a good job of balancing everyone/giving everyone screen time, which I'm sure is a challenge with such a big main cast.

✰Angst vor der Angst series by bluetears07 (Sun/Felix, Wolfgang/Felix, Part II Rated Explicit).

Wolfgang and Sun spend time bonding over the differences between brothers by choice and those related by blood.

Gorgeous prose and this is so sexy too! Sun & Wolfie have so much in common so this really fits. I adore how both of them let their affection for Felix flow, and they aren't threatened by each other.


I'm also shipping Kala/Wolfgang and Kala/Wolfgang/Rajan but I haven't run into any post-s1 fic that I want to dive into yet.
