This is a short list of unbearably tense fics. Fic that kept me glued to my screen, made my heart race, and left me really, really worried about the health and/or mental wellness of the lead characters.

Click on my reviews for more detailed warnings if you need. Apparently murder mysteries tend to make me tense, so they are a little over-represented here.

Cut for length:

(Looking for more fic recs?)

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.
