Summary
Sherlock watched John's mouth as that smile slid away too quickly. There had been something there, something he'd not had time to analyze. He was left with the unsettling impression of having witnessed an expression that didn't belong on John Watson's face at all. In its wake it left the equally unsettling thought that perhaps he didn't know John as entirely as he thought he did.

Summary
A suicide mission against Hell leaves Heaven in shambles and the rest of world in ecological turmoil, as ocean temperatures spike and Heaven's ashes trigger volcanic activity in Alaska. And all bets are off in Heaven, where memories are malleable, similes are no longer strictly figurative, and Castiel has organized an appallingly novice brass band to play his homeland's swan song. Castiel and Mary separately investigate the circumstances surrounding Dean's death, but find that the autopsy of a suicide is no easy task. Meanwhile, Hell's more artistic titillations have followed Dean upstairs, and he's disinclined to resist the inevitable. Sometimes things burn.
And the carnival of the grotesque has Alastair's House of Reds on the grandstand tonight.

Summary
Jimin is a brownie. There's a lot that comes with the job description-- fixing clothes, keeping the household up and running, tending cattle. And all that would be fine and dandy, if only Jimin liked his work. (He doesn't.)
Jeongguk is a Nightmare. Literally and figuratively. When Jimin loses his job and gets reassigned to keep Jeongguk's manor running, Jimin isn't afraid in the slightest.
It doesn't matter that Jeongguk's rumored to be eccentric, brash, and cold because Jimin has a job to do, and then he'll be onto the next mind-numbing assignment. It's going to be fine.
And then Jimin actually meets him. The reality is so much worse.

Bookmarker's Notes
Completed 04/2022.
Park Jimin isn't a typical brownie. He hates housework. And what happened to a meek and biddable nature? He is constitutionally incapable of keeping his head down and his mouth shut while taking crap from his betters. It was his snarky month that landed him here in the first place, at the Bureau's worst posting--housekeeper for the only Nightmare in existence.
But it will be fine. It doesn't matter what happened to the last brownie. It's just another job, a low spot on the way to his next mind-numbing assignment. The Nightmare isn't anything special--aside from the terrifying part, but Jimin isn't going to think about that--he's surely just another demanding a**hole who thinks his powers make him better than everyone else. Same as always. (It's so much worse.)

Bookmarker's Notes
In which Jazz is his own special brand of crazy, Soundwave is deeply weird, the Cassetticons are actual children, the Decepticons are true monsters, Megatron deserves to be die slowly and painfully, robot time-human time translations are sometimes confusing, the Autobots all need therapy, the sex is hot or horrible or both, and dystopian bureaucracy is pure hell. Kind of like The Handmaid's Tale in a techno-futurist city where Offred is a wisecracking, sexy, musical, esponiage-happy robot battling escalating Stockholm Syndrome and god knows what else while being romanced by an emotionally confused computer and his mechanical zoo. Highly recommended.

A Good Placement
by madwriter223
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived.)Oh, it's kind of chilling to look through Madam Yu's eyes when she sees wwx on the streets. She's very calculating, and precisely measures her tone and expressions and body language to relax him into trusting her -- and then proceeds to gaslight him about his parents.
Title doesn't lie, though: the placement IS good. Wwx thrives with the Nie brothers, and spends a lot of time in Cloud Recesses (for nhs's poor health) so meets the Lans much earlier. And in spite of Madam Yu's deliberate calculations, she and wwx have an excellent relationship as Aunt and little cousin that lasts all through the years.
Bittersweet ending is true (because the gaslighting never gets resolved), but it's not sad, so don't be scared.

Bookmarker's Notes
Objectively this well-written and a very thought out depiction of a complex unhealthy relationship that was enjoyable to read.
Subjectively, I don't like the pairing even if they seem healthy later, Tarrlok is sympathetic but still a manipulative jerk as the author themselves insists, but still a morbidly fascinating exploration of captivity that does not romanticize it nor stockholm syndrome. -

Summary
Words of comfort and affirmation bubbled to his tongue – He’s caught, we have him. Don’t worry. He’s at MACUSA, he’ll never hurt you again. But one look, and Newt realized that the context of Graves’ question was not 'please say he’s not here.' It was 'please say he’s coming home soon.'
“He’s… away,” Newt said lamely, eyes flickering to glance at Graves now that the man felt confident enough to speak with him. Graves was leaning far enough forward now that his shoulders were visible, pale and naked. Newt felt his cheeks begin to burn at the implication, and even more so when he caught sight of the thick leather collar that hung snuggly around Graves’ throat – Grindelwald’s symbol hanging delicately next to a small gold tag that read simply: ‘Pretty’.
FANTASTIC BEASTS KINK MEME FILL
Grindelwald is captured, they track down Graves, but instead of finding a locked up and tortured Graves they find Graves naked and in a collar, napping on a soft bed without a hint of recognition in his eyes. Turns out Grindelwald messed with Graves' mind, removed all his memories and made him believe that he's Grindelwald's pet. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Captain America: The Winter Soldier with a twist! HYDRA's hubris brought them down just a bit faster and more efficiently. Even though it roughly follows the plot of the movie, there are plenty of new twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. It is well-written with good pacing. The author has clearly put a lot of thought into and successfully portrays the Winter Soldier simultaneously as a puppet at the mercy of HYDRA and as an independent, resourceful, dangerous operative. I highly recommend this fic.

Bookmarker's Notes
wow. like jesus fuck. this fic is burning hot, it's freezing.
"One of the most fucked up things about watching someone burn to death is that burning flesh smells kind of sweet. Like a pig roast. It would smell good, if you could forget that it's a real person burning up in there. The same smell as when his family burnt to death, all those years ago."
It's some fucked up shit that I'm glad I read. This fic makes me think and feel and wonder. It's beautiful and dark and I love it. READ THE TAGS, man.
