gift fic: a smallville christmas (clark/lois)

fandom5k has opened its collection and I ended up with two gifts. This is one of them.

Title: A Smallville Christmas
Author: SpaceCadet72
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing/Characters: Clark/Lois, Martha, Jonathan
Rating: G
Word Count: 5642
Summary: Needing a distraction from her recent breakup, Lois books a stay at a B&B in Smallville.

A Clois Hallmark AU is the fic that I have dreamed about but never assumed I would receive and this was an absolutely wonderful surprise! I loved everything about it- even in an no powers AU, the characters feel familiar as does their fun dynamic and the chemistry between Clois leaps off the page just the way it does the screen on the show. Such a fun, fluffy fic that made me happy. :D

dear creator letter for pine4pine

Dear creator,

Thank you for signing up for this exchange! I absolutely love pining in fics and I'm excited to see what you come up with. I hope the information I have provided is helpful. While I did leave a few prompts for each ship, you're welcome to work off the freeforms if you have an idea just from them. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via the mod and I will be happy to answer. :D

gift fic: to find and be found (bucky/rhodey/sam)

This is the other fic I got from fandom5k.

Title: to find and be found
Author: 17pansies
Fandom: MCU/TFATWS
Pairing/Characters: Bucky/Rhodey/Sam, Shuri, Pepper (briefly), Morgan (briefly)
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 9626
Summary: “The sentiment is a nice one, but it’s hardly likely.” He couldn’t help the bitterness in his voice. “Who’s going to want a fifty something broken vet, hm? DADT got repealed just a little late for me.”

Wow, this was awesome! This is one of my rarer ships and I was so thrilled to get fic for them. I love that the focus was on Rhodey and how his relationships with each Sam and Bucky came to be, and then the three of them together. I even really enjoyed his scenes with Shuri as well. Sam and Bucky were their fun bickering selves while already established in this story and I love the lack of drama in their relationship and how they saw Rhodey, even when he didn't always see himself. All the feelings with added humor and sex makes for an excellent fic that I feel lucky to receive. :D
