Summary: “Everything feels just… it’s like I’m itching for something that I can’t quite scratch. So I wanted something that could… snap me out of that. Feel like I’m trying something new and dangerous.”
It certainly wasn’t how Leonard McCoy had ever hoped to discover Jim’s more unusual sexual interests, but now that he knew, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip for either of them… if Jim trusted him enough.

With all this uproar about 50 Shades of Grey–which, I should note, I have no wish to read–I couldn’t not post this up. I came across it looking for fanart, and–look, it’s an intense story, with hardcore kink, but it’s also extremely thoughtful, and the author makes a big effort to explain why BDSM can be appealing, and how it can be dangerous, and how to make it safe and happy for everyone. This is a good fic. But it’s also very explicit. Hell, I don’t have issues with needles, but just reading some of these descriptions made my skin crawl. But–sorry for all the ‘buts’–I cannot emphasize how good the character side of this piece is. I think my favorite lines is Bones saying, “I already know you’re strong, so you don’t have to be strong here.” The title is, of course, “in perfect trust,” and that line really illustrates what’s going on beyond the sex.

On the other hand, if you find those warnings appealing, I would give a brief shout-out to the extremely explicit yaoi manga Hoshi no Yakata. Hardest of the hardcore I’ve ever read, and yet I couldn’t tear my eyes away. It’s been fan translated here and there.

I’d also rec Tuition if you want more delicious Jim ~~suffering~~ hurt/comfort.

(Looking for more fic recs?)
