Kink Fic Recs Request/Rec

[rsadelle]

I keep meaning to make a kink recs exchange post, but I've been meaning to do that for six months, so the chances it'll happen anytime soon are iffy.

Enabling friends have recently gotten me into bandslash, which mostly makes me laugh about how I'm always a couple of years behind the rest of fandom. Anyway, I read a couple of stories with BDSMy elements without being explicitly BDSM (part of what prompted my previous question about BDSM and BDSMy fic), which made me want to read more of that kind of thing.

The Recs Request

BDSMy fic. I don't want something like a BDSM club/whips and chains thing, something less formalized. I read something where someone (Frank or Gerard, I think) found himself really liking having his hair tugged a little while giving head and something else Panic pre-gsf where Ryan had a thing about his wrists. So what I really want is something like that - where someone just likes being held down, but where the story is more about the relationship/schmoopy than just the hot sex.

Anyone have any recs for fic along those lines? I'm not picky about the fandom - as we've seen, I'm perfectly happy to read things where I know nothing about the fandom.

The Rec

I wasn't sure if my request made a lot of sense, and then I stumbled upon a story on my own that was exactly the kind of thing I wanted, so you can consider this both a rec and an example of what my recs request is about, even if the story in question is somewhat more formal than I was thinking of.

The story is "Tell me to stop" by airgiodslv. It's Brendon/Spencer, with Brendon both subbing for Spencer and teaching him the mechanics of being a dom. The mood is what I wanted. I also really liked the level of negotiation. I remember at the sex and violence panel at Escapade a couple of years ago, there were a lot of disparaging comments about BDSM negotiation in fic. I thought it went wholly overboard in Deviations: Bondage, so I can see their point. But remember that what I like is consent and trust, so some negotiation works for me, especially when it's used the way it is here - with each bit of negotiation taking place as needed, as part of the story, and to define boundaries or ratchet things up.

Hmm, I honestly don't know if this will do anything for you or not, but what immediately came to mind was megyal's Pay Every Pleasure With Pain (http://community.livejournal.com/rounds_of_kink/303764.html). It's Die Hard 4, Matt Farrell/John McClane, so there's a major age difference between characters. Like with the fic you linked, there's the idea of teaching and learning well. But otherwise... this fic is harder, rougher, less formalized, but I would say, in the end, it's all about the relationship. Here are some screencaps (http://community.livejournal.com/hard4brains/78177.html) if you're not familiar with the characters. YMMV, yadda, yadda. ;)

(I was trying to think of some Fast and Furious stuff that might fit the bill, but the kink I've read is very hot-sex focused and the relationship stuff, not so kinky.)

Huh. Thanks for the rec. I think it's a little more violent than I want, but it was interesting.

Yeah, I was afraid that might be the case, but just wasn't sure, so I figured I might as well give it a mention.

Thank you anyway! A friend of mine said she prefers d/s to s&m, and I suspect the same is true for me. I've also said before that what I really love is the sinking into subspace thing.
