Summary
"It's getting late, don't you think?" you say.
"Yeah," Dirk replies, distant. His attention is focused on scanning the tops of the pillars for any more marauding skeletons, and he straightens slightly when he finds none. "It's fine, I already alchemized some flashlights. I think we should be able to make the next gate by—"
"Dirk," you say, reaching out to tap his shoulder. "You're not seriously thinking about pressing on through the night?"

Summary
Maybe in another life you'd say, This is boring, Dirk. Maybe you'd say, You've been at it for hours, give the old computer a rest and let's go on an adventure? Do say yes. But right now you can't think of anything you'd rather do than feel your skin stick to the cherry floorboards and breathe in his cologne.
(or, a modern AU where Dirk is an electrical engineer and Jake is an archaeology student, though none of that is readily apparent here.)

Summary
Metal gleams in the predawn light that creeps through your window—steel ribs cracked open, slabs of green silicon stamped with circuitry more convoluted than a Golgi complex.
Brobot is your finest work. You're sending it to Jake so he can tear it apart.

Summary
This time, John's eyes are a hollowed out white that you can't look at straight-on, and you feel dead, so you decide you're even.

Summary
Jake promised Dirk his virginity when they were only twelve, because when you are twelve, sixteen seems a long way away. Then again, when you are twelve, you also expect that you might feel different, about love and sex and other things that represent becoming a man.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic lingers over the senusal details of lovemaking without diving head-first into the fucking, which so much other porn does. There are just paragraphs about Dirk and Jake kissing!! YES.

Bookmarker's Notes
The writing is mesmerizing, and it writes older John in a way that I rarely get to see, but always want: a kid whose goofy smile hides deeper thoughts. Dave here is beautiful and broken and sad, but what gets me the most is that John is broken himself, just in different ways, and together they balance out.

Summary
A race to beat time and space and the Game itself!
A fight against impossible odds. A struggle that begins after the war is long over. A desperate gamble against loaded dice.
Help him, Jake English: you're his only hope.

Bookmarker's Notes
Can I just rec everything suitablyskippy writes because it's all phenomenal, but this piece talks about canon iterations of characters that almost no one ever discusses and does it with such grand style! Please also read the fic it's based on, both are total knockouts.

Bookmarker's Notes
Intense, economical writing which serves to illuminate aspects of the Condecese's relationships that I'd never considered before. This fic is really good.
