July Fanfic Recs

[miya_morana]

I've been doing monthly fic recs on Tumblr, and I figured I could post them here too. So here are the fics that I’ve really liked this past month. All of these are complete. Enjoy!

Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1), Dragon Age Inquisition (1), Haikyuu!! (1), Harry Potter/Boku no Hero Academia Crossover (1), Jujutsu Kaisen (1), Merlin (1), Spider-Man (MCU)/Julie and the Phantoms Crossover (1)

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Title: Witch boy
Author: applecrumbledore
Pairing: Rupert Giles/Spike
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 12,730
Summary:
Spike was an embarrassing memory tucked into the recesses of Giles’ brain along with other rare, sweet moments from his Ripper Era that he couldn’t leave behind, and instead pulled out of mental storage once in a while, dusted them off and luxuriated guiltily in the hedonistic days of his youth. Spike was a memory he hadn’t pulled out in so long that he’d forgotten it was him.

Fandom: Dragon Age Inquisition
Title: A Herald Named Desire
Author: ushauz

Series: Part 1 of Tales of Desire (Words: 396,552 - Works: 3)
Summary:
In which 'Adaar' is totally not a desire demon from the Fade, because Haven is a camp filled with Templars.Also morals and mortals are both confusing, and he would really just like to go home now please.

Fandom: Haikyuu!!
Title: when you smile
Author: Slumber
Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Miya Atsumu
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 2,443
Summary:

“Beach volleyball?” Atsumu echoes, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah,” another guy says, nodding toward the first guy who spoke. “You can pair up with Hinata over here. You don’t need to know how to play—he needs the training, anyway.”

In a world where Inarizaki never faced Karasuno at the Interhigh, Atsumu and Hinata run into each other at a beach in Okinawa, and a summer fling ensues.

Fandom: Harry Potter/Boku no Hero Academia Crossover 
Title: New Friends, New Heroes

Harry goes on a vacation with Teddy and there is trouble that isn't Harry's fault. But Teddy gets to show off and Harry gets a new friend so everything's great! Hermione will be so proud of him.

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Fandom: Merlin
Title: Splitting the Road
Author: queerofthedagger
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 3,000
Summary:

"Emrys,” the woman says, impatient, and Merlin, well. Merlin reacts.
Arthur wants to pretend so, so badly that there isn’t a pit opening in his stomach but—
But. Merlin reacts, eyes snapping towards her, narrowing. Above Merlin’s head, the cold iron groans, a sound the way that Arthur’s heart feels.

Merlin and Arthur get kidnapped. Unfortunately for their captors, it really is a tremendously stupid idea to put magic itself into cold iron.

Fandom: Spider-Man (MCU)/Julie and the Phantoms Crossover
Title: Double Tap to Like 
Author:  breakaway71 
Pairing: Michelle Jones/Peter Parker, Julie Molina/Luke Patterson/Reggie Peters
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count: 17,247
Summary:
Peter Parker and Reggie Peters each have their own reasons for feeling lonely, so when an Instagram post draws them together, it's easy to fall into an unexpected friendship. Maybe it's a little unconventional, but what other kind of friendship is there when you're a superhero, or a ghost?
