Deep Conversations

I didn't sign up for Chocolate Box this year, but I did write a pinch-hit. And there are a massive amount of fics to enjoy. Here are my favorites:

★island breeze | DC Extended Universe/MCU Crossver, Diana Prince/Bucky Barnes, Teen
This fic feels like coming home. It's so tender and intimate and I did not know I could get into this pairing but yes, sign me up.

★a strange circumstance | MCU, Thor/Heimdall, Explicit
The AU where Thor is an orphan turned prostitute, but he can still see thru Heimdall's eyes. Thor is confident but Heimdall is much more experienced and more commanding. This fic hits all my buttons for this pairing.

★closed circle | Buzzfeed Unsolved, Ryan/Shane, Teen
This fic has some funny punctuation but it totally works because the story is creepy and gothic and Ryan is panicked but also getting shit done and I had a lot of fun reading this.

★recipe for disaster | Buzzfeed Unsolved, Ryan/Shane, Teen
A serial killer AU with a bakery angle - this is the only way I like my bakery AUs, apparently. And Shane does not give a fuck about anything except Ryan, and I find that oddly charming.

★praying for sparks in the dark (in the heart) | DC Extended Universe, Superbat, Explicit
Great Clark characterization. I usually don't like identity porn but this fic really worked for me because they both realize what's going on fairly quickly and there are certain things that give the other way. Plus, the sex is possessive and dangerous and very hot.
