A/N: This story almost didn't get posted, because at some point I realized that it lacked things like "plot" and "characterization" and "making any goddamn sense at all." But I believe that we need to be the porn we wish to see in the world, so I apologize for nothing. Once again, I thank leiascully and coffeesuperhero for letting me sit on their couch and bitch incessantly about this story.

Thirty Days of Recs, Day 6: D/s AU!

Oh, D/s AU. It’s something I feel like I read a lot and barely ever like. I really like it in theory, but in practice, it often ends up being a justification for OOC behavior, nonsensical worldbuilding, and jacked up moon logic. So here are some stories that don't fall victim to that syndrome.

Take Clothes Off As Directed by helenish
(SGA, John/Rodney, ~11000 words, NSFW)
This story has some problems, but it's still one of my favorite SGA fics- it was, in point of fact, the first SGA story I ever read.

The Directedverse by aris_tgd
(House, multiple pairings, mostly NSFW)
This is actually the story that lead me to the previous entry. In a lot of ways, I like it better; it's not a response in the same way that Take Clothes Off As Directed was, so the world is constructed somewhat differently. On the whole, it feels less like genderswap-in-hiding and more like a fully realized D/s universe.

The Spaces Inside by lavvyan
(SGA, John/Rodney, 7664 words, NC-17)
I really like this story because of how different it is than most D/s AU. It is, at its heart, a love story, but it's about two deeply fucked up people who start off in a fucked up place, and it's really beautiful and sort of heartbreaking.
