A few drive-by recs, while I wait for a fic to get back from beta.


Where You Run To, I'll Go Glistening by [personal profile] eternal_elenea Robb/Theon, R

This is a kink meme fill for a prompt about desperate/urgent sex and Theon getting off on rainstorms -- and it has all of that, UNF -- but it's also a story about these to growing up together and belonging to each other even though Theon doesn't quite belong. The prose here is just beautiful.

Faces and Names by [personal profile] lainemontgomery Ned/Cersei + Robert, R

I saw this when it was still at the kink meme -- in fact, it's probably the reason I ended up filling a Ned/Cersei prompt, because it was one of those pairing I didn't know I wanted until I read it. Then, I thought Oh. Of course. Cersei's POV is wonderful, and this has some deliciously wrong Ned/Robert undertones, in that you can't quite tell if Robert wants Ned for Ned, or if he's really just using him as a replacement for Lyanna.

waiting for you to hurt me by [personal profile] miranatural Robb/Theon, R [bloodkink]

This is another kink meme fill. I almost didn't read it, because bloodkink isn't really my thing, but the dynamic in the prompt was interesting -- that Theon isn't really into it, but Robb really, really is -- and this turned into a fantastically twisted look into Theon's headspace.

we keep you in our bones by [personal profile] honey_wheeler Jon/Jeyne W, Jon/Robb, Robb/Jeyne W, R

This is glorious. I ship these two pretty hard, in a picking up the pieces Robb left behind kind of way, and this is explores that perfectly, touches on all the ghosts in their bed, and when I was finished with this, all I could really do was wave my hands and say ♥JON♥ repeatedly.
