This is a repost of an older fic rec list I did in 2015--apparently I was really angry about the 50 Shades movie. Mind you, at that time, "at least it's better than 50 Shades" was basically a fanfic trope unto itself. It probably still is. 

Sadly, I haven't updated any more recent fic, although I might do so in the future. I'm also trusting I had good taste 3 years ago. 

Most of these are fics I’ve already done reviews on, but there are a few new ones. I tried to keep it more to fics that actively discuss BDSM or aspects of BDSM scenes, sex, psychology and relationships. Most of these are NC-17, and I would read through any trigger warnings first. However, these are fics that stress consent and care, or deal with the consequences of not using consent and care in a mindful way, rather than just adding some kink or titillation. 

I do regret that this is mostly slash. I need to diversify my recs a bit, but I kind of threw this together when I remembered the movie was coming out.

Anyway, hope this might make some people happy.

Cut for length and some NSFW text.
 

Title: Resisting the Wind

Author: Westgate

Fandom: Avengers / MCU

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Clint/Coulson

Warnings: violence, dealing with trauma, discussion of childhood abuse

Other notes: de-age fic, family, ensemble, magic

Length: 27k

Summary: Clint vanishes from the battle and wakes up a few blocks away from the action, and now he’s sixteen. He doesn’t know how the hell he ended up in NYC, but he knows he has to lay low. Clint’s pretty good at laying low, even as a kid, and it takes a little while for Phil and the rest of the team to figure out what happened to him, and a while longer to actually find him. They also have to convince him that they can be trusted. It’s magic, of course, but the kicker is that the spell comes with a terrible choice attached, and Clint is not in the best shape to be making choices about his own life.

My thoughts:

Title: Strength You Need

Author: storiesfortravellers

Fandom: Avengers / MCU

Rating: NC-17

Pairing: Clint/Coulson

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), BDSM, rough sex, angst, consent issues

Other notes: kink meme fill

Length: 5k

Summary: For the prompt at Avengerkink: Clint thinks a safeword will make him look weak and so he refuses to ever use it.

(Looking for more fic recs?)
