Torture
Reboot
Q-Squared-style universe convergence fic. Three different (almost)Reboot!verses come together. There are some extra stories set in Universes B and C. The warning are (mostly) for the Universe C prequel rather than the main story.

Reboot/TOS
A slightly confusing crossover between Original!verse and Reboot!verse, involving Picard, the Nexus, Kirk!Prime, and a bet between Spock and Q. The plot would probably be easier to follow if it hadn’t been many years since I saw Generations.
I think this story suffers slightly from having too large a cast for its length. I would have liked to see more of Spock!Prime and Kirk!Prime’s reunion/relationship, and a lot more of Nu!Kirk and Kirk!Prime interacting. It’s still a great story, though, with a sequel, Deeper Down.

No slash at all. John rescues Rodney from imprisonment in a torture facility. Told from the perspective of John’s hostage.
He’s half the bulk of Calmoore, but something about this man makes her bodyguard look like an amateur, a fake. He smells of sweat and blood and metal and dirt, and a static crackle of nervous energy. He’s lean, and handsome, and she’s never met anyone so frightening in her life.
Followed by Obvious Place and Open Blade, all by Magus Minor.
There’s an equally good and somewhat lighter follow-up trilogy by Ellex, composed of Predator, Shiver, and Frenzy.
Presents a very disturbing picture of what might be lurking under John Sheppard’s affable charm.
But it’s only a question of time until he loses it again. Until the knife comes out and he – there’s a scream from the speaker. He jumps, sits up, stares at the screen. This is the best part.
This is – better than porn. And he supposes he should feel guilty. But he can’t quite manage it. Because it gets him so hard. It makes him come like nothing else he’s ever had, and in his more lucid moments he hates that about himself. That something where not even one of the participants takes their clothes off is better than the best ever blowjob.

AU. What if Cordelia never started working for Angel after they met at the party in City Of?

It’s fic like this that’s helped to reconcile me to the wrongness that is Angel/Connor. The rape and torture doesn’t happen to Connor, but that doesn’t make this story any less wrong.
Explicit // Incest // Rape // Torture // Underage Sex
AU where both the Luthors die, and Lex is adopted by the Kents. Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson both appear, and even Oliver Queen has a cameo.
Action // AU // Explicit // Incest // Rape // Romance // Sci-fi/Fantasy // Torture // Underage Sex
After Clark and the Kents are kidnapped, Lex and Chloe spend years looking for them, but even Lex doesn’t expect what happens when they find them.

Lex is kidnapped and tortured, and Superman saves him when his father won’t.
…Lex doubted that Jonathan had ever explained the intricacies of anal sex to his son.
There were certain days that Lex wished that his own father had never explained it to him.

I’m not quite sure how I missed reading this for so long, but I’m so glad I finally did read it, because it’s one of the best Smallville series out there.
When Lionel finally finds an heir he considers worthy, Lex gets help from Clark. So many of the stories in this series are long and wonderful, and there’s a great original character in Eli Cohen. Most of the really disturbing stuff is off-screen or only implied.
I think this is a WIP, although each story is pretty much complete in and of itself, so it’s not like it ends on a cliffhanger or anything.

I’m in two minds about recommending this story. On the one hand, I don’t actually love it the way I do the other stories I’ve rec’d by the same author. On the other hand, too many Trek stories, particularly TOS-era stories, gloss over the huge differences between Vulcans and Humans. This one doesn’t.
An alternate way “The Menagerie” might have gone. What if Starfleet had refused to accept the Talosians’ testimony on Spock’s behalf?
Spock, on Earth, in prison. Even in the 23rd Century, prison is not a nice place to be.

TOS
And its sequels, New Minglewood Blues and Morning Dew.
A fabulous, sprawling AU that splits off about three years into the first five-year mission. Some pretty awful things happen to Our Heroes; not for the faint of heart.

This isn’t a story that’s easy to summarize, so I’ll let the author do it for me, as I so often do:
This story grew out of my wish to respond to the seemingly endless number of stories revolving around the topic of slavery, especially those that focus on breaking or torturing a person past their point of resistance. Sometimes reading those becomes excruciating, since so many seem to revel in a concept that I find personally abhorrent, when put into reality: removing all free will from a person, and destroying their spark of individuality. And worse, few investigate the process involved in surviving (let alone healing from) such an experience. So I decided I would.
Part of the bleakness will be as the back-story becomes clear. Expect physical abuse, violence, torture, and possible squick situations. Also expect gallows humor, surprising light-hearted moments, and behaviors that make no sense from a rational point of view.
It is not a pretty picture. And the simple fact is that I can’t necessarily promise a happy ending in the traditional sense, where everything ends up back to ‘normal,’ because I can’t find anything in the medical or psychological information that indicates that a person after surviving such an intense psychological breakdown will ever be truly ‘normal’ again. You’re also going to read a lot of questions raised by performing such a horror, and the two main characters will also be raising ethical questions about their own roles in the recreation of an individual. Some of their positions and conclusions may surprise you, and some may upset you.
I’ve done a great deal of research for this story, and I’m trying to stick to as realistic an extrapolation as possible. Now that you’re braced for impact, I will assure you that I believe in the strength of a human being to come up with a way to fight even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. To paraphrase Trowa’s words in the first chapter, none of the characters in this story are going to go gently into any damn night.
This story is less romantic or sexual than psychological, but it’s none the worse for that.
Set after Wrecked and GOF.
I love Snape and Willow’s relationship, which is pretty cute, but otherwise this story is rather dark. The character deaths aren’t anyone we really know, but they’re still upsetting.
I really, really wish this story was finished, because it’s one of those that I don’t like stopping halfway through, and not just because of my impatience. It draws you in enough that it’s very disappointing, and jarring, to run out of story.
Up to chapter 37 so far, but hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. Caveat lector.

Just yesterday I recommended The Arrangement, and said it was Maldoror’s best story so far. Forget that. Freeport is, beyond a doubt, the best thing she’s ever written. In fact, it’s actually one of the best sci-fi fanfics I’ve ever read.
Freeport colony: a notorious den of pirates, smugglers and thieves. Wufei persuades one of its denizens, his one-time ally Duo, to help him catch a killer hiding there. Agent Chang thinks he knows what to expect, from this case, from Freeport and from Duo Maxwell. He couldn’t be more wrong.
Freeport is a truly fascinating place.
