Fic rec - Killing Elvis

Title: Killing Elvis

Author: David Hines

Fandom: Alien

Rating: R (for violence)

Pairing: gen fic

Warnings: discussion of taxidermy, dissection, experimentation on a living creature, canon-typical violence

Other notes: original characters, dark comedy, epistolary fic, social media, inter-office politics, incredibly tense fics

Length: 8k

Summary:
Dr. Liu,

Got your final report yesterday on Project LV-426. I'm amazed. Great work all around. It's been forwarded to the Chair, our friends at the Pentagon, the Defense Appropriations Committee, and DARPA. The acid-resistant armor is something that should really catch their eye.

We're expecting some big grant money from this.

Burke

Burke,

Did you read even the executive summary of my report? There are some interesting biomaterials that we could work with, but I stressed, multiple times, that this creature is far too dangerous to even consider using in military research projects. It's aggressive, stupid, vicious, aggressive, impossible to train, and did I mention aggressive?

. . .their limbs work on hydraulic principles and operate under pressure, which is why they splurt like a popped water balloon when they get hit in those Marine camera feeds we saw. A slight wound to a limb takes them right the hell out of commission, and now your troops have to deal with an insanely aggressive and stupid xenomorphic K-9 unit that oh by the way IS BLEEDING ACID.

Fic rec - A Fire and a Conflagration

Title: A Fire and a Conflagration

Author: iodhadh

Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition

Rating: NC-17

Pairing: Dorian/Iron Bull

Warnings: explicit sex (gay), BDSM

Other notes: poetry, love letters, pining

Length: 16k

Summary: At first, the Iron Bull is just writing poetry to Dorian because it's a fun way to tease him — he gets all huffy when he's pretending he doesn't think the lowbrow stuff is funny, and besides, he started it by making it a Vint-versus-Qunari thing. It's only fair for Bull to needle him a bit.

At first, Dorian is only writing back to Bull because he can't let him win. The pride of Tevinter's literary tradition (not to mention his own dignity) is at stake here, and he will not be beaten at metaphor by someone who thinks cattle-related puns are an appropriate way to seduce someone.

And that's all it is. At first.

Archived fic rec - Diary of a Maddened Scientist

Title: Diary of a Maddened Scientist

Author: Parhelion
Summary: Personal observations edited from the Laboratory Journal kept by Dr. T. B____, Ph.D..

Personally, I find this fic a bit more funny if you read it without knowing the fandom. But for those who prefer to know what they’re getting into, just look under the cut.
