In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Hockey Stories
I'm going to start by saying that I would recommend the whole Back Up There series by scribe-Tuesday, but I'm going to put my three favourites here. (Feel free to read the whole thing if it grabs you!)
Be More Bob by scribe-Tuesday
What starts out as a "confuse the rookie" prank turns into an actual superstition. This is really cute and the prank isn't mean-spirited at all.
Consequences by scribe-Tuesday
"Life just works, when somebody else makes the decisions. If Seb’s secure at home, he’s steady everywhere else - including on the ice. He never wanted to cope by himself. He never thought he’d have to. Holding everything together is harder than he’d thought. He can’t do it on his own, and the cracks are starting to show.
Josh has never been any good at minding his own business." This is a BDSM story, but not an m/m story. I find all the topics to be handled really well, and I enjoy it quite a lot. Definitely the one I've re-read the most in this series.
And the Little One Said / Glitter by scribe-Tuesday
A story about a single father and a drag queen. Various pairings in this one, but mostly a slice-of-life fic. If you want more diversity in your fic, this one has lots. :)
To Be Seen Aright by Deastar
This is a BDSM AU Sid/Geno story. There are some prevailing prejudices and quite a few internalized prejudices on Sid's part, but the main relationship ends up being good and solid. For all the tricky points in this story, I think it is really well handled, and I encourage you to give it a try, if you like the general categories. Please do mind any tags and your headspace though, as I've cried on each of my read throughs, even though there is a happy ending.
Avengers
We Found Love in a Hopeless Place by thekaidonovskys
BDSM AU Phil/Clint slash. Another BDSM AU one. I really like this one, because the relationship is so thoroughly explored, and we get to see a lot of the wider universe as well. This is a series with 18 stories so far, but it felt right to rec the whole thing instead of just the first work.
Professional Distortion by anachronic
Eventual Phil/Clint where Phil works at a high end sex store and Clint is a professional masochistic, sort of. If you like kinky & sexy fun times, this story is for you; I know I've read it about 4 or 5 times so far.
Stars and Stones by raiining
An Avengers/Dresden Files AU with Phil being Clint's mentor for magical things. So good!
The Underground by raiining
A story where Clint goes undercover at a BDSM club but is given shoddy intel and Phil rides to the rescue in spectacular fashion.
Let It Go by cakeisnotpie
Phil gets drugged and he and Clint end up confessing their feelings and proclivities to each other. This one is once again kinky and wonderful, and the issue of consent is handle very well, because Shield has all the forms.
Safe and (the) Sound by tisfan and 27dragons
A Bucky/Tony story where Bucky owns a diner and Tony ends up working for him. Various other Avengers make appearances as well. Also, I highly recommend checking out their other stuff, both individually and coauthored; they are awesome.
There are probably more stories I could and should rec, but these are the ones on the top of my brain... One more!
Love is for Children by ysabetwordsmith
An awesome beginning to an awesome series that is full of nonsexual age play, trustbuilding and teamfamily.
Okay. I'm probably still missing a bunch, but this is what I have for now. I hope you find something you like!

Thank you so much for sharing these!
