Yay, goodfic thread! I have a handful of lovely slash fics (or just fics that include slash) to offer you.

First up, from the Free! fandom, Blue Lotus, White Lotus by shionsheart. Set in the desert AU as seen in the S1 ending, this is primarily a Rei/Nagisa fic, but Makoharu also features (as does Rinsuke). I should warn you that it does include themes of slavery, forced prostitution, and war, so if you're sensitive to those, you may want to check out the next thing on my list instead...

Namely, <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/2094253?show
comments=true">Nothing Gold Can Stay by perkynurples. I'll just drop the summary here and let it speak for itself:
"Bilbo Baggins led a rather peaceful life, thank you very much, until an old acquaintance decided to turn it upside down, and he found himself agreeing to take a job that’s… let’s say not exactly up his alley, and might eventually cost him a little more than his treasured cozy lifestyle. Who would have thought tutoring a slightly menacing monarch’s more than slightly overbearing nephew could prove to be such an… adventure?"

If you want something action-based, I have The Hetalian Job by RainyMeadows (along with its sequels). This is more in the "awesome fic that includes slash" category; Death the Kid finds Italy lost and scared in the Black Forest and things spiral out of control from there. Content warnings for graphic violence (including some torture), swearing, blood, and in one case suicidal thoughts.

Last, a femslash fic: Girl She Loved by Fabulolz. Literally every other fic in the Free! fandom I've looked at/into has been either some variety of slash or a het pairing, so this jumped out at me automatically. Furthermore, it's about Gou's two friends Chigusa and Hoshiko, who don't get lots of screentime for obvious reasons. (Content warning for emotional abuse.)
