Title: Just wanna take him home
Fandom: Daredevil
Pairing: Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson
Categories/Genres: Hurt/Comfort
Length:12918
Warnings: Prostitution - Only mentioned really

Author/Artist on AO3:

Summary:Foggy mostly takes little old ladies to parties doing escort jobs, which he's fine with. Getting hired to spend two hours hugging a lawyer is kind of a departure. He should have known it would all get complicated fast.

Review: I read this pairing before I watched the show. I thought the whole fandom had softened the character’s. I thought they had to have done. No TV show could have character’s this sweet and I had heard the show was violent so it just didn’t mesh as an idea in my head.

The character’s are softened somewhat but not by much and no story got across how their bright smiles make you fall in love. This fic for me is kind of a fantasy played out. Matt is the ultimate hurt/comfort for anyone who loves that kind of thing, for this moment especially.

Foggy knows how to hug tricks, and it isn't how he hugs Matt. He hugs Matt like he hugs his nieces and nephews when they're crying, just gets in his space and wraps him up. Matt stiffens for a second—stupid, Foggy should probably have warned him, it's not like he can see Foggy coming—and then relaxes, clutching on to the front of Foggy's shirt.

Matt Murdock needs a hug and this fic is filled with them.

Title: The Book of Vices and Virtues series
Fandom: D. Gray-man
Pairing: Allen/Kanda, Kanda/Alma, Allen/OMC, Allen/OFC
Genres: AU, Romance, First-time, Adventure, Drama, Historical, Prostitution, Hurt/Comfort, Post-Canon, Pre-Canon
Length: Super-epic (214,460 words)
Warnings: Attempted rape, past and present child abuse, child prostitution, dub-con

Author on LJ: N/A

Author's Summary:
Story 1: In which Allen travels from India to England in search of Black Order Headquarters.

Story 2: "Whenever there is hatred between two people, there is a bond of brotherhood of some kind" - Oscar Wilde, /De Profundis/

Review:
This lovely and long series contains two stories. The first is an AU version of Allen's journey from India to the Black Order headquarters in England. The second is a post-canon story about Kanda, Allen and Johnny being on the run.

The series has a pleasing circular nature. All the people that Allen meets or reunites with on his way to the Order are met again by Kanda on their way from the Order. While the first story is firmly a study of Allen, his character and his bisexuality, the second story is definitely Kanda's. As he asks around about Allen's character in an attempt to understand him better, he also gains much more knowledge of himself, both as he is now and as he was before he was reborn.

I did feel it got a little too philosophical in the middle, dragging the pace down, but I'm always impatient for the happy ending to happen. And it does, in a sweet, hot, and in character way. A great read.

Title: The Leonardo Effect
Fandom: Assassin's Creed
Pairing: Leonardo/Ezio, Ezio/OFCs, Leonardo/OMCs
Genres: AU, Romance, Drama, Pining, First-time, Mystery, Prostitution, Historical
Length: Epic (67,378 words)
Warnings: Dub-con, prostitution, period-appropriate homophobia

Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: phoenike @ AO3

Author's Summary:
To Ezio’s best knowledge, Leonardo's idea of debauchery was staying up until morning with a bottle of wine and too many sketching supplies. But why would the gondolier have lied? It was a heavy accusation. In both Firenze and Venezia, mere allegations of unnatural conduct had condemned men to be pilloried or hanged.

Review:
After overhearing gossip about Leonardo having apparently been on trial for sodomy, Ezio is tormented by the revelation and determined to find the truth. It's a familiar plot, and this is a well-written and historically minded version of it. It's well-paced, with their budding romance a very slow burn as Ezio struggles to make sense of what he's feeling while trying to uncover Leonardo's past. His preconceived notions of Leonardo as wholly bookish and naive are challenged, leaving us with a much more three dimensional character that is an awesome read to slowly find out about. This is also a fic about Ezio's own horizons being broadened as he gains some maturity.

This fic is a series, accompanied by some equally well-written flashbacks. They contain spoilers for the main fic though, so are best left till after it.

Title: Five Districts, Five Drugs
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Sam/Dean, Sam/OMCs, Sam/OFCs, Sam/Jess
Genres: AU, Pre-Canon, Angst, Drama, Family, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Hooker, Dark
Length: Super!Epic
Warnings: Incest, drug addiction, prostitution, underage, dub-con

Author on LJ: rei_c
Author Website: N/A

Author's Summary:
Dean goes to pick Sam up from Stanford and ends up finding more than he bargained for.

Review:
The clue is in the title - this is a series of five fics, set in five different parts of San Francisco, wherein Sam is addicted to five different drugs. Instead of finding his brother at Stanford as we see in canon, Dean finds him in all sorts of places facing different challenges, both mundane and supernatural. Every fic has the same beginning paragraph and the same summary - and it's awesome to see how different the direction of each is despite this. The common theme of the fics is that Sam is taking drugs to deal with his psychic powers and their effect on his psyche.

rei-c's worldbuilding is amazing. The fics feature a wealth of different mythologies, and the author does justice to every one, despite how different they are. Hindu, Chinese, Vodou, Irish, Norse, and Wicca mythologies are all written with confidence, and if rei-c isn't an expert on all of them I certainly can't tell.

The other common theme of the series is Wincest, and healing brought to Sam by the arrival of Dean. Their relationship is definitely always a welcome comfort after the hurt, and there is a bit of the old being saved by true love trope - though the fics are too well-written to be called anything near saccharine.

Though drugs are a big part of the series, they are never glorified or portrayed as glamorous, and we clearly see that they aren't doing Sam any good. I wouldn't describe this series as depressing despite the heavy theme of drug addiction - because thankfully, there's always a Dean-shaped light at the end of the tunnel.

The warnings apply to the whole series rather then all of the fics, so make sure to look at their individual warnings.

Author's Summary:
When Grammy needs an upgrade in care, Mike knows that the usual one-off gig as a paid submissive won't be enough. He takes a job he's been refusing for a while - a long-term, full-time contract.
He expects his client to be a sadistic asshole. He expects not to like it. He's wrong on both counts.

Review:
While writing this up, I realized the story has never been recced here, and I have to say that thatotherperv builds a strong and complex relationship while not pulling back at all on kink. What I love about the podfic is that dodificus does a terrific job of voicing the highs and the lows, or as she says, "the anxiousness of certain chapters, the delights of others."

Mike takes a more serious and time intensive contract than he's ever taken before as a paid submissive. It amounts to basically living with Harvey, though he does have set times off for himself and to visit his grandmother. It's a bit of a pressure cooker situation, with both Mike and Harvey being influenced by unfortunate incidents in their past, but both of them being as understanding of one another as they're able. Things get more complicated when Mike takes on the dual role of Harvey's submissive some of the time and his paralegal at others.

dodificus gives us a beautiful and clear reading. Her pacing is spot on, and she brings out the emotional content especially well. You can feel her love for the story and her good sense of the progression of the relationship. If you have long commutes or a trip coming up, you're in luck, because it's 11+ hours (the thought of the editing alone floors me) of gorgeous reading to keep you company.

Title: Don't Worry Baby
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Derek/Stiles, Stiles/Others
Categories: AU, romance, prostitution
Length: Long (20,276)
Warnings: Brief violence. (There's no mpreg or indication that mpreg is possible, but Derek does express a desire to be able to get Stiles pregnant.)

Author on LJ: kalpurna
Author Website: kalpurna

Author's Summary: "You know you're allowed to ask for vanilla sex, right?" he says, afterwards. "We can do whatever you want. That's kind of the point."
Derek doesn't respond.

Review:
Stiles is twenty-one and working as a prostitute whose customers are mainly werewolves. Derek asks him to drop his other clients.

Instead of rough sex, the secret longing Derek's afraid to voice is for gentleness, commitment, and even that darkest and kinkiest of secrets... a desire to one day start a family. Kalpurna makes great use of his awkwardness and stalkerish tendencies too, so he feels very in character. And Stiles is dead-on; he's mouthy and smart, great with his plans to improve Derek's life, and he's also coming around to the joys of vanilla sex and his feelings for Derek. Erica and Isaac are a great supporting cast.

This could have been solely about the Hooker!AU plot and miscommunications, but kalpurna's writing ensures that it ends up being more about character development. She shows it in their vulnerability, their growing fondness for one another, and in a few dozen great details that range from the funny to the insightful. (A favorite of mine is when Stiles compares Derek's sad attempts at stalking to that of a cat trying to hide behind a sneaker.)

Summary: War is the child's emptiness, the surrender of identity, the transformation into a simple system: purpose goes in, action comes out. (Natalia Alianovna Romanova, and everything that she became.)

Review: Natasha's voice in this is just amazing! Fahye manages to keep it solid, despite the fact that the story follows Natasha from a young age through when she joins up with S.H.I.E.L.D. and beyond.

She's paranoid but a realist. And her relationship with Clint is just so warm and fuzzy, without losing it's spy vs. spy edge.

Pairing: Clint/Coulson; Neal/Peter
Categories: AU, Angst, Crossover, Dark, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Prostitiution, Romance
Length: Epic (63k)
Warnings:Rape/non-con, sexual violence, graphic violence, crucifixion, implied past child abuse, medical inaccuracies and procedures.

Author on LJ: arsenicjade and hoosierbitch
Website: Taste of Poison

Summary: When he takes the rap for a crime committed by Barney and the Swordsman, Clint is charged as an adult at 17 and spends the next four years of his life without protection in prison. Enter one Neal Caffrey, who knows how to charm his way to whatever he wants or needs, and Clint's life gets a lot more interesting. Pretty much, the story of Clint in prison, Clint getting out, and Clint, like always, finding his way to SHIELD, and Phil.

Review: This is dark and scary and not at all my usual type of  story as you can probably tell by the long list of warnings. But what it does have is an awesome amount of hope and a lovely happy ending(with domesticity).

This is hurt/comfort fic taken to the extreme while still managing to keep everyone very much in character despite merging two fandoms and providing alternate origin stories for half of the characters. It's an amazing and sweet and if your not easily squicked or if you are willing to skim over the areas that are extremely violent then I definitely recommend this story!

Length: Medium (6,709 words)

Author on LJ: rageprufrock / rageprufrock

Summary:
Greg likes to think it's one of those patterns in nature, like Fibonacci but with narcotics.

Review:
Greg never became a CSI tech; drug addicted and working as a prostitute, he is befriended by Nick when they meet at a crime scene. When Nick is kidnapped, the police's suspicions turn briefly to Greg, who is terrified for his friend. The events lead to some major changes in both their lives.

Gripping and thrilling, this story pulls you right into Greg's head, his uncertainty and nerves and fear. This is a Greg that lived through events similar to the episode "Play with Fire," but without the support of his friends and colleges fell apart. It has a really intriguing characterization and character voice.

There are also some great cameos by Grissom, Sara, and the whole Stokes family, as well as too brief sections with Nick. This story is pre-slash, so while there is a definite movement toward a relationship between Greg and Nick, it's really about Greg's growth and recovery.

A wonderful story that has stuck with me for years. Mind the warnings, however, this fic does deal with some heavy issues.

Summary: Finnick’s Games. The ones he plays in, the ones he wins, and the ones he’s still a pawn in ever after.

How Cinna became a revolutionary, and other stories; most notably, how he deconstructed Finnick Odair.

The seventy-fourth Hunger Games are about to begin, and Finnick Odair is called back to mentor for the first time in years. Between that, his obligations in the Capitol, and the growing political unrest back home in District Four, he’s got more than enough to manage—and that’s not even counting this year’s fire-starting tributes from District Twelve.


Review: First off, if you are still waiting to read the Hunger Games and don't want to be spoiled; do not read this series! If you're getting into the fandom without reading the Hunger Games trilogy or you have already finished the trilogy and are looking for more stories from Panem then this is a great series to try.

This is an open AU that started with a series of stories by Mithrigil and has been continued by various authors. It is made up of origin story for a large number of Adult characters that appear in the books. As well as a number of stories based in and around the 74th & 75th Hunger Games. It gives a deeper look into the lives of everyone from Haymitch to Cina, to the victors you only meet in the second book, This story adds a lot of depth to the events that take place in the trilogy. Just be warned that this is a really dark series. So if you're easily squicked, I suggest reading with extreme caution.

It is made up of origin story for a large number of Adult characters that appear in the books. As well as a number of stories based in and around the 74th & 75th Hunger Games. It gives a deeper look into the lives of everyone from Haymitch to Cina, to the victors you only meet in the second book, This story adds a lot of depth to the events that take place in the trilogy. Just be warned that this is a really dark series. So if you're easily squicked, I suggest reading with extreme caution.
