NSFW Rec Thursday: Masturbation

For the @winterironmonth.

Benign by usedupshiver Having a Hydra-made tentacle monster on the loose in Avengers Tower should not be quite this... cuddly? A fairly free interpretation of the prompt - there is masturbation for sure, and an asexual person/being watching it, so I say it counts :P And to be honest, I adore this story a lot, so I want to rec it.

In My Dreams I Turn You On by ceealaina Tony's crushing hard on his new massage therapist, but doesn't want to be a sleazy businessman. Bucky's crushing hard on his latest client, but doesn't want to take advantage of him in a vulnerable position. So they handle it like any sane adults - pretend it's not happening and refuse to discuss it. At least they both have terrible friends to help them through it. Absolutely adoring the mutual horny pining in this one!

Stark, Naked by 27dragons, tisfan A bottle of vodka, a dimly lit room, and his favorite camboi on the laptop… A lovely story that's both sexy and sweet. One of my absolute favorites!

SFW Rec Friday: Soulmates AU

Today's Forecast by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar) Loneliness had followed Tony Stark his entire life, so they were on pretty good terms. Ignoring those empty places inside of himself was easier once the day was in full swing, but the mornings had a way of slipping a knife between his ribs, and getting him right in the heart. The last place Tony expected to find the cure for his condition was on TV, but now watching the morning weather report has become the highlight of his day. Well, it was less the weather, and more the weatherman. One look at Bucky Barnes making some adorably lame joke about umbrellas, all lopsided smile and sparkling eyes, and Tony was in love. They are so incredibly adorable... And then they almost mess it up xD but that’s just typical, isn’t it, and the ending is so sweet... [Note: this story requires being logged into Ao3]

The Tsum of Our Parts by Shi_Toyu Tony couldn’t remember a time when he hadn’t had his soul Tsum. The little thing had appeared as soon as Tony was born, which wasn’t completely unheard of. It just meant that his soulmate was older than him, old enough to have already developed their own Tsum characteristics, so maybe early teenage years. That happened all the time. It wasn’t even particularly scandalous. They’d probably meet later in life, when the age gap didn’t mean quite so much. What was unusual was how cold his Tsum was. I love the character development in this, as well as the friendship between Tony and Steve.

What's Good for the Goose by Taste_is_Sweet We all have soulmates, and every soulmate pair shares an animal guide. The Guide is there to lead you to your One True Love, and they represent the aspects of the psyche that you both share. They appear when you're about to meet your soulmate, and often materialize in moments of great personal crisis, offering hope and support. There are stories upon stories about how someone's Guide appeared to lead them to their One True, or how the barest glimpse of their Guide eased their hearts and gave them hope in the midst of despair. The newly-rescued almost always attribute their Guide with giving them the strength and courage to hang on. Animal Guides are ephemeral, ethereal, and elusive. They are, most often, no more than a warm presence or flicker out of the corner of one's eye. They are incarnate symbols of perseverance, optimism and hope. Foretellers of happiness, and the grand destiny of love. Except for geese. Geese are assholes. Geese are the best. They’re not easy, clearly, but they are more than worth it in the end. I love how very geese they are, and I adore the ending. [Note - there are more WinterIron soulmate stories in this series which are also definitely worth reading]
