Disclaimer: I have done other things today but read fic. It's Sunday, let me indulge.

Lady of the Evening by gryffindorj
Pairing Teddy/James
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 28k
Content/Warning(s): Rimming, oh the rimming, and some bondage. Other than that not giving any other warning because that would spoil the fun.
Summary: Albus and James run a whorehouse. Sort of. They needed the money, it couldn't be helped. But it's completely on the up and up. Or at least James has no reason to think otherwise. Besides he's too busy with this Teddy thing to really care.
Why you want to read this: this fic is perfect in any way possible. Don't let the summary fool you - whatever you're thinking when you hear "run a whorehouse", stop thinking it. James was perfect, teddy was perfect, albus was perfect and everything is glorious and beautiful and I've not enjoyed a next-gen (or just teddy/James) fic like this in a very long time. I want to say it's a classic, but then not - it doesn't fall into (m)any of the tropes of the pairing and it's delightfully refreshing and new (designer!teddy! Not!a pro quidditch player!james! Gryffindor!al!), snarky and heartwarming. This fic made me fall in love with the ship all over again. ♥

About Time by gryffindorj
Title: About Time
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Teddy/James II
Word Count: 9300
Warnings: Possible underage sex (James is 16), infidelity (though not between Teddy and James), and other than that no warnings just loads of smut.
Summary: Teddy and James know exactly who to blame for all of this.
Why you want to read this: this one is a classic. A shorter read, but with all the things you generally come to expect. A little bit of awkwardness, a lot of smut, a happy ending. Well worth a read.

Handle With Care (10669 words) by winterhill
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Skyfall (2012)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James Bond/Q
Characters: James Bond, Q, Bill Tanner, Eve Moneypenny, R - Character
Additional Tags: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Shovel Talk, Burns, Parkour, people underestimate q, tanner is good at manipulating bond, talking problems through
Summary:It’s not exactly a secret that Bond and Q are dating. Most people in the agency give Bond the shovel talk; everyone who doesn’t gives Q the “are you sure you know what you’re doing?” talk. Q and Bond ignore them all and have a lovely time, right up until an exploding pen explodes.why you want to read this: classic 00Q and yet not; true to canon, q makes bond things, missions, explosions, the what have you. But you don't get Q and bond dancing around each other forever, you get two confident men striking up a conversation and carrying it on. It's also a light and entertaining read and not quite so full of angst as is the tendency...but not a crack fic either. ♥

Invitations (4609 words) by IWasHereMomentsAgo
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Caius/Toverre
Characters: Caius Greylace, Toverre, Alcibiades
Summary: Party invitations, coffee invitations and invitations which are more demands than anything else.
why you want to read this: ok so caius and toverre are two characters who never even meet each other in the canon, but I've been brainwashed into liking the idea of them. And this fic is adorable. Caius is spot on, Alcibiades is lovely and toverre clearly has no idea what he's getting himself into.
Why you don't want to read this: it's marked complete, but feels rather like a wip. There is supposedly more in the works.
