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
Canon relationships
Musings on various canon relationships Love in a Cold Climate

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