I've read several Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy fics in a row where the guys pull out condoms and lube and it's jolted me right out of the action each time.

Condom use by gay men in the 1970s? Y/N?

Also, what is the likelihood of having official "lube" around?

Also, I just got to the end of a fic that I had (apart from the condom use) really quite enjoyed, to find this author's note: Seriously, I've read and re-read this so many times I'm actually, physically sick of it. If it still doesn't quite work, then I'll just have to admit defeat XD I guess your fics are a bit like your children: sometimes you love them, sometimes you can't stand them, and sometimes you wish they were never born

And it kinda put me off. I mean, if YOU don't like your fic, why should I?





Peter/Richard

Lovely getting together fic A World of Good

Angsty fix-it fic for Peter's relationship - A Very Ordinary Man

Peter's been broken apart in the worst possible way. After the Mole is uncovered, he tries to pick up the pieces Trade All Your Heroes in for Ghosts

Cute, tiny missing scene from the script, according to the author Some Moments of Grace


Jim/Bill

I love this! Bill POV, 2nd person pov The False King

Lovely and melancholy, at Oxford Theatrical

At the outbreak of World War II, Bill Haydon and Jim Prideaux decide to leave Oxford, but not before Bill sends Jim back for a final visit Lost in a Haunted Wood


Peter/Bill
A day of mourning for the Circus it's the best years of your life they want to steal


Peter/Ricki

Interesting Ricki POV, told in 2nd person. You Are Tired

Not a big fan of this pairing, tbh, but this is awesome Peter and Ricki, before, during and after the events of the movie. Five Times Peter Guillam Didn't Have A Drink with Ricki Tarr (and One Time He Did)

*There are a few more good Peter/Ricki fics on AO3, it's just not really my thing.


George & Peter

Short, Peter replaces Ann By Rote

Hee, even more gen, Peter and Fawn get George a chair. It's cute! The Ursurped Throne

George takes care of Peter The Strongest Tie of All

Lovely fic where they're really old *shrug* Fossils

George and Peter interrogate a suspect. Softly-Softly

That's a definite N.

And lubes would have been Vasoline or Crisco.

You can trust me. I'm not a gay guy, but I am old.

I've heard stories of coconut oil (tanning oil?), but I'm unsure of the exact vintage of the information.
