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.

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.
