Mohinder and Sylar have such CHEMISTRY, my word.

Emiliana Darling's Mohinder/Sylar Rec List

It’s been a long time since Heroes was on the air and even longer since it was any good, but Mohinder/Sylar still holds a very special and tremendously disturbing place in my heart. And after hearing that a friend of mine was starting the series for the very first time, I decided to wrangle up some of my favourite fics from way back in 2006/2007.

Most of these stories are complete, but there are one or two abandoned ones that are still well worth reading. My absolute favourites are marked with asterisks (**). Please read the individual warnings on each story with particular care for non-consensual/dubious sexual content and mindfuckery. The nature of this particular ship means that there are a rather high number of problematic story tropes in here, so be prepared!

At the time of posting, all of these fanfics have working links. There are currently 45 fics on this list.

Man From UNCLE Fic Recs

Had a lot of people showing interest in the Man From UNCLE Fic Rec post I did this week. 

I’ve been devouring fic for the show since I started rewatching it a few weeks ago so there are a few previous rec posts if anyone is interested.

Here, here, and here

Happy New Year...

Hello lovelies!

We, @loveactuallyrps, @nerdyderekhale and @oncetherewasapirate​  presenting you all 26 fic recs for Sterek Royalty AU.

This New Year we wish you to have courage to fight for your dreams. May your New Year be filled with adoration, happiness, warmth, and cheer…Happy New Year!

Alone Together - by @asocialfauxpas [sterek|E|16277|1/1|8 Nov 2015] [price!Derek, Merman!Stiles]

Derek has lost his pack. Stiles has lost his pod. They find each other on the high seas.[Merman!Stiles, prince!Derek, wolf!Derek] Derek has lost his pack. Stiles has lost his pod. They find each other on the high seas.

Untitled by @halekingsourwolf [Sterek|Ficlet|] [feral!Derek, magic!Stiles, and royalty!au (with commoner Stiles)]  

The castle guards come for Stiles while he’s putting on a simple show, transforming weeds to roses for coppers in the plaza. They don’t offer a word of explanation, not even a token complaint about him Practicing without a permit (which he would totally have, thank you very much, if he could just collect enough coppers to apply for one).

You’ll See Me Again by @matildajones [Sterek|T|10123|1/1|9 Sept 2015] [Royalty, Prince Derek, soldier Stiles]

Stiles is standing there in his uniform, hair long and hands behind his back. There’s a blush on his cheeks and he can barely look Derek in the eye. “Hey,” he whispers. He’s wearing the medal Derek had presented to him. Derek stares. He doesn’t think he’s breathing anymore. Stiles is the soldier who saved Derek and brought him back home. He doesn’t seem to care that Derek’s a prince or that he’s a little bit broken. Derek falls, quick and sure, but it’s not easy knowing that Stiles will soon have to return to the war.

Golden Boy by trilliath [Sterek|E|105130|16/17|14 Nov 2015] [Royalty AU,|WarriorPrince!Derek, slave!Stiles] 

Apparently it still amuses his uncle to buy sex slaves for him, no matter how steadfastly he refuses to use them. Derek ducks into his tent with a resigned sigh, prepared to dress and reassign whatever new beauty Peter has bought him. They do make for loyal servants, so he can’t really complain about Peter’s ‘gifts’. But it is annoying to deal with, to have to spend his evening sorting out a slave instead of being able to go right to bed. It’s just something he has to learn to accept as a byproduct of serving alongside his uncle.
