ShipRecs

In this episode we catch up with five new chapters of the iconic Mandalorian/reader insert fic Rough Day. In these chapters Mando hunts you for sport. And it's hot. And Mando finally explores your inner rim! And it's...fine?!? Story link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/21651097/chapters/51629176   

We return to Hogwarts for a special Christmas episode of Shiprecs. Audrey was expecting a ton of pushback for suggesting this super-dark and angsty Christmas tale, but instead she discovers that we’re all sluts for Snape and Christmas-y misery. And all Abby wants for Christmas is McGonagall fics.    Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12978126/chapters/29669259  

Mira’s Marvel pick is a funny and romantic Darcy Lewis/Loki fic by AnonymousMink. Notably, Darcy Lewis does it with Loki when he’s in his true (frost giant) form, and it’s actually kind of sweet. And we discover that frost giants are ribbed for her pleasure. We recorded this episode the day before the Loki Disney + show premiered, so enjoy our clueless speculation about what may be in the Loki ser...

We’re going 90s for this special halloween episode and reading a three-part Spike/Buffy story by Verity Watson. Is it acceptable for vampires to kill people? Were cargo pants ever sexy? Why is Spike/Buffy called Spuffy and not Spiffy? That last one is not a rhetorical question, I’m genuinely asking.

In this episode we vote on the best of the eight stories we read in the Star Wars fandom. Choosing was difficult because the Star Wars fandom really knows how to get down. Audrey gets judgemental about butts. And we introduce our next fandom, Marvel! We’ll be taking a break before posting any Marvel episodes, so if you have recs for us in the Marvel fandom you can contact us as always at shiprecsp...

The ladies love this sweet, slow-burn romance between Mando and Luke Skywalker. Author PepperPrints takes extreme liberties with Star Wars sequel cannon, the future of the Jedi order and the Mandalorians, and we eat it uuuuuup! And Audrey does some bitching about the sequel trilogy in this one so for the record: Reylo for life!!!   Drink Pairing: Yerba Mate Whiskey Toddy Song Pairing: Into You by...

In this Obi-Wan Kenobi/reader insert fic, the Force finally reaches its full sexual potential. Also, Obi-Wan gives the hottest goddamn apology ever. We were straight-up discombobulated by the sex in this story and had to edit about 45 minutes of girlish tittering out of this episode.  GuardianAngelCas, if you ever need an organ or something, hit us up. Can’t vouch for the livers but I’m sure some...

Kylie’s second pick pairs Boba Fett with an original male character, Ado Janic. Can Boba have a functional romantic relationship? Does anyone actually have sex with the sex robot? How many ways can we pronounce “Ado”? Tune in to find out!

We have a ton of fun with this crack-ish Reylo fic, in which Kylo Ren moonlights as a romance author and Rey can't get enough of his books. Emo author Kylo Ren doodling "Rey" and hearts into his  glittery notebook during First Order meetings is an image that will stick with us unto the grave.  Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19181209/chapters/45594586 Drink Pairing:  Blue Hawaiian In...

Mira’s latest pick is a Mando/reader insert. It also happens to have the most serious subject matter we’ve ever tackled on the show, as the reader character is deeply traumatized. We are varying degrees of not ready for that. And one of us is apparently a sociopath. Guess which one!  Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21889465/chapters/52246873 Drink Pairing:  White Russian Ingredients ...

Abby's first Star Wars pick is the freaky Reylo force shit we’ve been waiting for. Audrey is torn between love for Reylo and hatred for the sequel trilogy; we are delighted that this story is chock-full of badass women on both the Resistance and First Order sides; and we all marvel at Adam Driver’s glorious hair.  Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5454443/chapters/12608978 Drink Pairin...

Kylie’s first pick is fluffy, fun Finn/Poe slash. The ladies are a bit salty because the tags promised a Rey/Finn/Poe threesome that never panned out. On the other hand, this story has a ton of hot slash and gives us the deets on birth control and lube in the First Order. On the other other hand, sadly this story suggests that Poe doesn’t stop talking like a t-ball coach, even when you’re going at...

Last time, Audrey invited Abby and Mira to slap her if they didn’t like Rough Day. Well NO SLAPS WERE DELIVERED because the ladies unanimously love this story’s take on Mando. We suggest the author changes her tag in AO3 from “Favreau forgive me” to “Favreau you’re welcome.” And we introduce a new friend to the group, Kylie! We might finally get some good slash up in here. Note: Just to explain re...

Whelp, our “Harry Potter Series” ended up being the “Hermione gets railed” series. And just like Old Testament God, who sent a rainbow to humankind as his promise to never flood the earth again, we give you this rainbow promise to not let the next series become such a total gang-bang. 🌈  Audrey introduces her first Star Wars pick and invites Abby and Mira to slap her in the face if they don’t lik...

In Abby’s latest pick, Draco is a magical creature who sprouts feathers when angry. Is "Big Bird Rage Mode" sexy? And is there any way we can evolve this into a threesome with Daddy Malfoy?  Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14380728/chapters/33204618 Drink Pairing:  Rose Water Gimlet: 1/2 oz Rose water 1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice 1/4 oz Simple Syrup 1 1/2 oz Gin Club Soda Mix all ingredi...

Audrey’s latest Snape/Hermione pick is by far the filthiest thing we have read for the show, and it is glorious.  We drink viscous drinks and are reminded that Abby hates balls. And although this is a Snape fic, Lucius Malfoy comes across pretty well in this story all things considered. Is Desert_Sea the ‘chosen one’ who will write the Snape/Malfoy slashfic that will please both Mira and Audrey? S...

This week, Mira takes another (successful!) crack at selling us on a relationship between Hermione Granger and Lucius Malfoy. This week’s story also has the distinction of having the longest and most thorough Ron-bashing we’ve ever encountered. Let the hate flow through you!

Hermione and Luna go to wizard college in Abby’s first pick! This story presents an appealing fantasy of an inclusive wizarding world where Luna and Hermione become globe-trotting partners in work and love, and you can get takeout from literally anywhere in the world on demand. But all three of us are frustrated by the overall lack of smut. We filtered by explicit, dammit. Audrey is distracted by...

Audrey’s first pick is an action-packed Snape and Hermione fic with magic, torture, cunning, true love, and a “sex barometer”. We talk about mind-Snapes: do you imagine a younger, scragglier book-like Snape when reading, or is the pull of Alan Rickman too strong? Abby goes “full Adam Driver” for her Snape but Mira sticks with Alan.    Story link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/7392916/chapters/...

Polyjuice potion, chocolate, and puns are eagerly abused in Mira’s especially-smutty first pick: a Lucius Malfoy/Hermione fic by the Artful Scribbler. Mira struggles to communicate with Audrey and Abby who are philistines and cannot appreciate her references to Much Ado About Nothing or You've Got Mail.

In this episode we discuss the format of the show and introduce our first fandom: Harry Potter. Can we detangle the movies from the books while reading Harry Potter fanfiction? What the hell is JK Rowling on about these days? One thing we can all agree on: Jason Isaacs (Draco’s hot dad) is hot.  Special Bonus Story: fuck you jk rowling By WendelinTheWriter Up next: Play Cissy For Me, a Lucius Malf...
