Please see the warnings inside the fic!

Sherlock is used to tops who don't provide aftercare. With John, he gets strict dominance with a touch of humiliation and discipline but also, aftercare. John knows how to take him in hand and take care of him and it's lovely.

The one where they have to wait in a car together during a stakeout and then it turns out that Sherlock is incredibly dirty.
“I thought I was sucking your cock,” John said.
“Lesson one: you should always be plugged when sucking cock.”
“You—“ John had to stop to clear his throat and lick his lips. His mouth suddenly felt dry. “You weren’t—last night—you didn’t.”
“I wasn’t speaking universally. I was speaking very specifically of you, John Watson. You should always be plugged when sucking my cock.”

Stories from John and Sherlock's relationship, which includes D/s and sensation play. Interesting setup, where Sherlock needs something when he goes really out of control but John isn't willing to do impact play because of an abusive childhood and Sherlock's experiences. And then there's a lot of good porn, and a Sherlock with both a praise kink and a humiliation kink matched with a John who will both take intimate care of you and fuck your shit up. Plus some of the most realistic dealing with recovery from trauma in a kinky relationship context I've read.

The one that starts when Greg finds Sherlock sucking John off in an empty lab. I like the way John is kind of a BAMF and puts Greg off center at the beginning. I also like how everyone slots into a kinky role in a way that feels really right -- the ultimate in consent.

Summary
Steve's most closely guarded secret was that he was a submissive, and a hell of a strong one at that. A secret is, problematically, not conducive to super-serum enhanced needs for subspace.
An impending subdrop, a mission gone wrong, and an unlikely dom. Will he be enough to put Steve back together?

Summary
“You have never once been careful in your entire life.” Bucky huffs out a laugh. He looks away. “Maybe I’m offended you didn’t think to ask me.” He says it like a joke, but he can’t bring himself to laugh again.
“Bucky,” Steve says, scandalized. “You’re my friend. I’m not gonna use you to experiment sexually.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Modern-day hipsterish AU where Steve and Bucky are still BFFs and when Steve comes out Bucky offers to be his experiment though he's kind of in love. Better than whatever weird Craiglist hookup his friends can find him, anyway. Meanwhile, Steve is not pleased that Bucky's boss is sexually harassing him, and he's morally conflicted about taking Roxxon money for a painting prize. A lot of filler conversations and feelings, but sweet. The D/s is just a little bit in one scene, not a major component of the story.

Summary
Being a sub isn’t the worst thing in the world. Being a sub who doesn’t like pain, well. That’s just weird. A sub’s sole responsibility in life is to be anything and everything a dom wants, an open canvas for a dom’s brush, malleable and sweet. Obie taught him that, and that fear ultimately tears him and Pepper apart. So Tony hides his dirty secret and doesn’t sub for anyone now. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tony's a sub who's only ever had a contract with Obi, and doesn't really know what he's doing. He doesn't think he gets to have a relationship, since he's not a masochist, and sees himself as a bad sub, but Steve's not that into pain and prefers service kink. A lot of insecure Tony feels with a whumpy past, and patient Steve. The one where Steve has Tony hold his tags for comfort. Also features Bucky as Natasha's boy, and Clint as Phil's.

Bookmarker's Notes
Phil needs a dominant and Clint's not a stranger to the concept. The one where Fury orders him to get laid, gets him an invite to a BDSM club, and Phil throws it aside and goes to Clint instead. He's a bit chaos and insecure about what he needs, but Clint's game and very kind about it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Pretty much the best D/s story in the fandom. Definitely best science bros. The one with Steve's special closet in Tony's room, and Phil showing Tony how to cane Bruce.
Everyone on the team is sleeping with each other in some sense at the beginning (including Tony as Steve's dom, because Steve needs consistency) except for Bruce, who fears touch. Tony groks his masochism but doesn't come onto him until he feels like it's okay, with explicit communication. Steve's a very sweet, open sub and being with Tony levels him out and helps with his mental health. Bruce likes bondage and heavy pain, which grounds him, but hasn't had a partner since the Hulk. The Hulk needs to know that he's not afraid. Lots of negotiation with a custom scale for communicating Bruce's headspace.

Sweet story where Tony's a switch in a BDSM AU, Pepper's his girl, and he needs to go down sometimes so he's having a kind of droppy experience that Phil can help with. More about the feelings than the kink. Especially love Clint and Tony being sub friends.

Bookmarker's Notes
Building D/s relationship between an insecure submissive Tony with a history of abuse and gentle dom Steve. The one that starts where sub!Tony's had a night with a couple and is accidentally still wearing the collar, drops and needs Steve to bring him up again. A lot of insecurity and recovery from shitty past relationships, relatively soft kink but formal and romantic.
