Recs and Reviews

Why we love it: This is a hilarious crackfic in which Steve is, you guessed it, turned into an octopus. We love how Danny's completely exasperated by Octo-Steve's handsy behaviour, but underneath that is a very Danny-like concern for his partner. Octo-Steve is perfectly characterised as well - you really can tell it's Steve in there somewhere. This may be the only fandom that we know of where the crack is this well done and so very in character.[2]

This is so much adorable and hysterical crack, and I can’t help but love it. I giggle right up until it turned hot, then I enjoyed it even more. (PSA: No tentacles were used in these sexytimes, that is all)[3]

I don’t know how or why but this absolutely works. Genius.[4]

I started laughing hysterically when I first read this and the next parts to the series! I thought I would die from the hilarity![5]

This is very cracky, there's no two ways about it - but it's also strangely adorable.[6]

Now I’m all for Steve being a complete dork. And in this fic, Steve has somehow been turned into an octopus. You think Steve was hands-on with Danny before? Wait until he’s got 8 “arms”! This story is totally cute, and it fits the Steve/Danny dynamic perfectly.[7]

A series of stories about an Octopus Steve and Starfish Danny. When you’re in need of something fun to read.[8]
