ShipRecsChristmas Harry Potter Special: The Residue of DesignWe 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.

ShipRecsEp 19, Marvel Series: Forbidden FruitMira’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 series.
Note: This is our second Marvel pick, but our first was lost to audio issues. So if we mention Abby's pick or Loki...

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 shiprecspodcast@gmail.com. We’re looking for explicit stories over 30k words.

ShipRecsEp 16, Star Wars Series: Separate Ways
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!!!

ShipRecsEp 15, Star Wars Series: The Locked Door
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 of us at least have some decent kidneys.

ShipRecsEp 13, Star Wars Series: "The Rebel's Secret Passion" by B.S. Kysses
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.

ShipRecsEp 12, Star Wars Series: Working Girl
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!

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.

ShipRecsEp 10, Star Wars Series: 'Til There Was You (And You)
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 it.

ShipRecsEp 9, Star Wars Series: Rough Day
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 references to it being 2020 or us having no idea what happens at the end of The Mandalorian Season 2—we recorded this episode in December 2020...

ShipRecsEp 6, Harry Potter Series: Sense and Insensibility
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?

ShipRecsEp 4, Harry Potter Series: Crazy Little Things
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 how fricking good the cocktail is this week, and explains to the expecting Mira the magic of “pump n dump.”

ShipRecsEp 3, Harry Potter Series: Unforced Error
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.
