Recs: October 27, 2019, part 2

[bethbethbeth]

It's been 5 years since I've done a major update to this recs page, but I'm finally starting to move bookmarked fic from AO3 to this recs site. Please note that because I have hundreds of fics to move, I'll be using the "share" function instead of coding, and I'm no longer committing to hiding warnings. Sorry about that, People-Like-Me-Who-Hate-Warnings. I'm also not committing to saying why I loved a story (because honestly, I've probably forgotten why by now), but if the story's on this page, I really like it!

---
The passage of time can be the strangest thing. Sometimes, Chloe Decker would wait for her partner to crack the predictable, inappropriate joke, eyeroll at the ready. Sometimes she would pick up the phone to call him when she caught a new case. Sometimes she found herself sitting in the parking lot of Lux, ready to go ask him where the hell he has been and if he is ready to get back to work. No matter what, though, she eventually remembers. She remembers that Lucifer left to save them all. He returned to a place he had adamantly fought returning to, a place he abhorred. She remembers that for a short, misguided time, she tried to send him back to that place. She remembers his face when he realized her betrayal.

Series: Part 19 of Tumblr Prompt Fics
Summary:

Chloe scrambles upright, her human hindbrain gibbering in sheer panic as she struggles against the impulse to press her back against something solid and hold perfectly still like startled prey. It’s a creature that resembles anything familiar in only the barest terms in that it’s vaguely…person shaped.

It shifts and cracks open like lava floes, charred and burning, its skin stretching into impossible proportions, limbs extending to unnatural lengths, caught somewhere between human and animal. Flames lick along its body, flaring out like the surface of the sun, but its face, if it can be called a face, is oddly familiar despite Chloe having no idea how to conceptualize it.

Eyes that burn like embers, white and empty, and rows of razor edged teeth seem to appear and shift at random in a nauseating mishmash of features. It’s head is cradled by a great, heavy circlet, broken on one side, leaving jagged, horn-like points.

“Let the Detective breathe,” it says and if it wasn’t scary enough, the sound of it speaking is enough to spike her adrenaline once more.

As I've noted before, I will never catch up with old stories. If you have a favorite story (your own or somebody else's) that you think I might have missed and it's in a fandom that I've recced before (see my main recs page, which includes links to all the individual major fandoms and a miscellaneous fandoms page), feel free to leave a link below. Most loved at the moment are stories from one of the following fandoms: Avengers, Due South, Hockey RPF (Sid/Geno), Lucifer, and Supernatural, but everything is welcome.

Special Note to Authors: If you're writing in a fandom set in the NYC area (Avengers, White Collar, etc), and you're looking for a beta for location-related issues in particular, feel free to email me at the gmail address on my profile page.

I am going through your recs and you may have this recced, or have it in a tab waiting to be recced, but I love it so much I want to be sure you see it. It is the best most wonderful Mobster AU I've ever read and Sid/Geno loveliness to boot.
