Dom/Brian rec list - part II
some more random fic just so I can keep track of them...
Alternate Realities type I (coda 1 & 2)
Where It All Began by Spikedluv
Summary: Bilkins brings Brian and Dom back together.
Shrine by mercurybard
Summary: Brian had never gone in the garage before. Not the one at the house. It was a rickety old building, leaned a little to the left. There’d been one afternoon when they’d been tinkering under the Supra’s hood on the driveway—Jesse had heard something on the ride over and wanted to poke around—and needed a wrench. Dom had sent Jesse to get it.
Racer X by mercurybard
Summary: The Charger is a bull. No way the Supra Brian’s driving can beat that. But it’s not about beating Dom. It’s not about winning this drag race from here to the railroad tracks (and there’s a train coming, some small, rational part of his brain whispers).
Aftermath by lucy_fic
Summary: "Take your clothes off." The garage was dark and dusty - it was like a movie set in there, or something. The entire thing was like a movie - the note that fell out of his morning paper, block-letters directing him out of the city, into this burned-out garage in the middle of nowhere. It was the perfect setting, if a little improbable in the real world. The sound of an automatic's clip being loaded brought Brian back to the present.
Mexico by lucy_fic
Summary: "Hey!" Roman said, grabbing one of the beers. "Now that's what I call service. You the owner?" Brian didn't have a chance to turn around and see his mysterious benefactor before a resonant voice said, "I got an interest. Consider this your welcome to Mexico." "Shit," Brian said, under his breath. He didn't need to look to know exactly who that voice belonged to.
>> Explicit - Brian and Rome ends up in Mexico after their mess with Verone - not my faves dynamics but a nice read
Grey by lucy_fic
Summary: He didn't know it at the time, but looking back Brian would be able to pinpoint the moment that it all ended.
Nine Seconds by lucy_fic
Summary: The call came in the middle of the night and consisted of two things: an address and a time. It wasn't until he re-cradled the phone that Brian realized the entire thing, from half-asleep mumbled "hello" to click off and dial tone had lasted about nine and a half seconds - longer than the fastest quarter-mile time, far shorter than was needed to work a trace. Leave it to Dom to consider all the angles.
>> Explicit.
Finding Home by ellia
Summary: After LA, Dom finds himself drifting, across the country and through his life. Until he settles in Miami, and a familiar face kick-starts his life and his heart.
Giving As Good As He Gets by spikedluv
Summary: Those eyes made Dom want things he shouldn’t want, especially given how hyped up he currently was.
>> Explicit.
Hot and Cold by spikedluv
Summary: Dom climbed to his feet -- all grace and economy of motion, he reminded Brian of a panther -- set the wrench he was using on the bench, then started towards Brian and the enticement of cold water. “Hotter than hell, today,” Brian managed to say. “It’s been hotter,” Dom said, just to be contrary.
>> Explicit.
What Are Friends For by chosenfire28
Summary: Dom finds Brian in Miami living in Tej’s backyard.
Three by chase65
Summary: three standalone fics set after the first movie in various situation - character death warning for the third one
Wasted in the Afternoon by sori1773
Summary: Brian can just see his feet, big, clunky motorcycle boots that look completely out of place on a Mexican surf beach.
The Heart of the Matter by niciasus
Summary: Brian shows up on Dom's doorstep two years after the end of the movie.
Flashes by graceandfire
Summary: Three scenes or flashes of Brian and Dom taking place at the very beginning, the middle and after the end of the movie.
Just Like Old Times (5005 words) by Paula K
Summary: Brian hasn't seen Dom since he let him walk away. He'd gone to Miami to work a job with Roman and has come home only to find out that Jesse's father's died. He needs to tell Jesse and in doing so, meets up again with the whole gang and finally sorts things out with Dom.
From Wheels to Waves by estrella30
Summary: During each point of his life, Brian has had a different mode of transportation.
Tools by mary_re
Summary: Dom sees Brian with some cops, and follows him home to get some answers.
Staying the Course by meadowlion
Summary: Even the breeze coming in the open door halts, as Brian uncrosses his arms and slowly gets to his feet. His chest feels so tight that all his inner organs might have shut down, too. He knows Dom is done talking now, but the next move -- the first move -- still has to be Dom's.
Sway by maygra
Summary: Dom held up the handcuffs again and glanced back at the bed. "There's not really anything to hook them to. No slats." He shoved the swing arm of one of the cuffs through the notches slowly, each click very distinct.
Uncut and Unmannerly by maygra
Summary:It was the fingering of his hair that tipped Dom off. As with everything else, Brian had patterns; pushing his fingers through his bangs repeatedly while looking in the mirror meant he was thinking about a trim.
>> Dom likes Brian's hair, Brian just wants to cut them
Sway by maygra
Summary: Brian rolled his eyes. No, kinky would be to ask Dom to dress up in leather and steel. Although maybe… "You're the one that says I get too grabby." "Yeah, but I never said I didn't like it," Dom said and came a little closer. In his hands, Brian's handcuffs clinked. "Isn't this like a misuse of LAPD property?"
>> 'marginally set in UB, but mostly, it's all about the smut and all about the kink...'
I Don't Ask for Much by spasticat
Summary: Brian's legit in that he really does know his stuff, if knowing means he can drive a pickup, run a register, and understand what the hell the customers are talking about. Not legit in that this is his cover, a way of getting established as part of the car scene and explaining why he would be showing up at a street race. He's not coming out of left field; they're carefully inserting Brian into Dom's world. Yet Brian's still temporary and under the lights he feels thin and fading.
Saturday Night by khaleesian
Summary: Dom rubs his eyelids with two fingers. Four times out of five, being with Brian is as easy as being alone…which is Dom’s sincerest compliment to anyone. But ever-so-occasionally, Brian gets this devilish jones to be infuriating. And Dom’s still so hot for him that it aches. It’s not fair at all.
Getting Somewhere Fast by shrift
Summary: "I got a full stomach, a car with a sweet engine, and a fully stocked garage, man. What more could a guy want?"
No Net Below by lyra_sena
Summary: Dom could take him, Brian knows, but maybe they both want to see just how far Brian’s going to push this.
Breathless I and Breathless II by elfinessy
Summary: Breathless, Brian tried to think, quick and straight. Now he was here, now it was happening, he couldn't go through with it, not with a lie on his lips. "Dom... there's something you need to know." The low rumble of a chuckle reverberated against Brian's throat as he ran his palm over the sandpaper-rough scalp, biting back the desire to purr. "Hard as nails here, Bri."
"Yeah, well..." he muttered softly, "this'll cool you down a notch."
Of Course You Know, This Means War by angelskuuipo
Summary: A picnic leads to some interesting discoveries.
Alternate Realities type II (coda movie 4, 5, 6 or 7)
Rubik's Cube by ailette
Summary: They were going at a comfortable speed, not fast enough to draw any unwanted attention but slightly faster than they were legally allowed. Dom looked so utterly in place and in control the way he sat there, Brian had to grudgingly admit, “Okay, I see why you think you always have to drive. But this is my car.”
Mutual by lucy_fic
Mia/Brian & Dom/Brian
Summary: "We're going to have to talk about this sometime, you know," Mia said, smoothing her dress back down over her hips.
>> pretty much my perfect ending for the fourth movie - and for Brian relationship with the Torretos
Knowing by chase65
Summary: She knows when he pulls her out of the interrogation room and doesn't stop moving until they hit the front doors of the Federal building, when he can't say why he let her brother go.
Five Phone Conversations Brian Never Thought He'd Have by shinetheway
Summary: "Brian," said a voice he thought he'd never hear again, and Brian almost dropped the headset.
Tables Turned by shinetheway
Summary: Dom had seen people get on their knees before.
>> Explicit.
moving bodies on a measured distance by templemarker
Summary: "I thought you wanted this, Dom." Dom's hands are grasping either side of the big, wide bed they bought last year. He's struggling not to tear holes in the expensive sheets Mia gave them; he doesn't want to think what he looks like, in the late afternoon sunlight, dark skin against white sheets. "I did. I do."
A Year, A Car, and A F_ck by damnednforsaken
Summary: It had been a year, one full year since that day Brian, Mia, and his two compañeros had gotten Dom off that bus bound for the hell that was Lompoc. In that time, a few strange things had happened. Mia had come to him after they had settled far away from the United States' jurisdiction and told him that she would not be staying with him in the new house he had purchased for all of them. He had been expecting to rebuild a new crew, try again from scratch with a new face to add to the old.
Sorted by shadowakiyah
Summary: And Brian thought, maybe this was how it was supposed to be all along, and maybe he did have it sorted after all.
>> Explicit.
Head by shadowakiyah
Summary: It’s always about the head.
>> Explicit.
It’s Always Been You by spikedluv
Summary: Dom kissed him again, and everything shifted and fell into place. Him and Dom, together in this place.
>> Explicit.
Palate cleansers by khaleesian
Summary: “Take a picture, O’Conner.” Dom’s voice cut through the clack-clacking din of the tires. “It’ll last longer.”
Brian didn’t bother to hide his smirk. If Dom was baiting him, it was proof positive of his theory that Dom wasn’t nearly as chill as he was making out. Dom still gave a shit all right. As if to echo his thoughts, Dom opened his eyes a bare half inch. “Still think I cheated?”
“I don’t ‘think’ you cheated,” Brian shot back. “I ‘know’ you cheated.” Dom cut his eyes over at the card-playing crew. “And so you do some institutional cheating of your own.” Brian snorted. “Yeah well, apparently, there ain’t no rules.”
>> amazing read fourth movie coda - Dom and Brian talk about things, and don't talk about a lot of things
Canon-verse / could be canon
keep it loose, keep it tight by battleofhydaspe
Summary: Brian accepts the bottle with a grateful smile and downs half of it in one go. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, leaving a dark trail of grease on his skin. “Exactly what I needed, man,” he says with a bright grin, rolling the dolly back and forth a couple of times. The music from the house is still audible but barely. It’s mostly just the heavy thump of bass and the occasional uproar of people cheering over something.
>> coda first movie & perfectly well written, in character - like a missing scene
Thirty-six hours. Thirty-five. Thirty-four by estrella30
Summary: He's fucking the case up - he knows that.
Cover by untappedbeauty
Summary: One of the first things he learned about going undercover was that cover stories are best simple. That, and there should always be at least a little truth to every lie. Makes it easier to believe and easier to pass off if there's a grain of truth there. That's why he can handle being in Dominic Toretto's world, making like he wants to be part of the group. 'Cause he's always loved the road, loved the rush of driving too fast and maybe a little reckless. And, if he wants to be perfectly honest, even if only to himself, it's easy to pretend he wants to be part of the group because, ill-advised as it is, he does.
Shootaround by estrella30
Summary: Every year, the night before Race Wars, Dom and his team would go down to the bar to shoot some pool and have a few too many beers.
The Morning After by estrella30
Summary: The morning after the night it all ended.
What He Can Have by carodee
Summary: Dom gets a clue.
