we're back. also i'm cross-posting these to leaflet now.
DC comics
birds of prey (1999 comic)
Dinah doesn't even know what the woman looks like. The only piece of Oracle she has is that voice, and meanwhile Oracle has probably dug up secrets Dinah didn’t even know she was keeping. It's something she tries not to think about, and ends up thinking about too much, rolling it over and over in her mind like a loose molar, a little painful, a little dizzying.
through the noise and static and the call - shipyrds | barbara gordon/dinah lance
SOOO HOT. ugh as one of the tags says, there is truly something inherently erotic about having a handler as we see in the comic and in this fic. the action and subsequent characterization of the two women here in the fic is amazing.
outsiders (2003 comic)
He knows this is a bad idea; it has no chance of ending in a way that will make either of them happy. They're too different, he and Jade, their values and chosen paths firmly at odds. He's spent months trying to tell himself (anyone) that it wasn't love, as if, if he said it enough, then maybe, maybe he could start to believe it. His litany stands no chance when the clouds part and the full moon shines on Jade's peaceful face.
Or: I try and dissect Roy's self-sabotaging nature in the form of smut.
one foot out the door (before we even start) - 2mad4plaid | roy harper/several people
oh man, this is such an excellent piece on roy harper. as the author puts it, it's a study in the form of smut, and this angle has never been truer to a character before until this was posted. the emotional pain seeping through in each section is too good.
misc comics
When Spoiler is gone, Batgirl will remain.
Always.
hand that feeds - holyarcana | cassandra cain/stephanie brown
i <3 stephcass being fucked up and weird and putting them in the DC vs. Vampires setting is a stroke of genius
“Sometimes, I don’t think I’m a person,” said Jon. “Is that weird?”
Jay would retort with a joke but he was running on seven hours of sleep over three days. “Me too.”
to disarm - Ult_Geek | jay nakamura, jay/jon kent
UGH so basically i've been hooked on jay/jon/nia since i read secret six (2025) and though there is a startling lack of fics featuring the three together in some way, this is not one of them, even if it mainly focuses on jay (and partially his relationship with jon). i brushed jay off as a bland nothing-burger of a character during jon's superman run, but in the years since, he's really grown into his own character, and this author absolutely understands that and him very well.
k-pop RPF
LE SSERAFIM/stray kids
But there's something similarly sweet in the way she looks at Felix, something familiar in the anxiety hiding in the corners of her eyes, and he thinks, I wouldn't mind. If she asked. After all, what's to stop him from becoming someone else's momentary regret?
(It's possible she wouldn't even regret him. What a concept.)
do you wish that you loved me? - croc_crocuta | kim chaewon/lee felix
man i don't even GO here halfway (the SKZ side) and i still enjoyed this. i may only be here for chaewon but the dynamic between these two on display here was so fleshed out in so few words. amazing stuff.
NMIXX/red velvet
Perhaps Seungwan—Wendy—is meant to be part of that girl group idol pantheon, another object of affection.
She could be, for her.
weight of desire - urocy0n | lily/wendy
sorry i'm a sucker and also a sicko for age gap relationships and this made me feel insane all throughout. this writer truly GETS lily so well.
ITZY/LOONA
The radio plays lowly as Chaewon drives, her soft hums lulling Sooyoung into a false sense of security. “Do you want to tell me what happened?”
If she were sober, Sooyoung would simply say no. She would take this secret, and all the other things she’s been holding close to her chest, to the grave. But she isn’t sober, and Chaewon has always been nice to her, right? Even when she’s a little mean about it, even when Sooyoung forgets to be nice in return. She can trust her with this secret, just this one.
“I fucked Chaeyeon’s little sister.”
To her credit, Chaewon doesn’t crash them into a light post. The car comes to a hard stop at a red light before she twists in her seat to look Sooyoung in the eye. “You slept with Shin Ryujin’s girlfriend?”
made it weird, made it worse - confetties | lee chaeryeong/yves
ending off on a high note with unabashed lesbian smut. as i said previously, i <3 gay age gaps and i am no different with this fic. yves' characterization is perfect here and i love bratty, know-what-she-wants chaeryeong here.
