ShipRecs ShipRecs Podcast

In this episode we catch up with five new chapters of the iconic Mandalorian/reader insert fic Rough Day. In these chapters Mando hunts you for sport. And it's hot. And Mando finally explores your inner rim! And it's...fine?!?

We return to Hogwarts for a special Christmas episode of Shiprecs. Audrey was expecting a ton of pushback for suggesting this super-dark and angsty Christmas tale, but instead she discovers that we’re all sluts for Snape and Christmas-y misery. And all Abby wants for Christmas is McGonagall fics.

Mira’s Marvel pick is a funny and romantic Darcy Lewis/Loki fic by AnonymousMink. Notably, Darcy Lewis does it with Loki when he’s in his true (frost giant) form, and it’s actually kind of sweet. And we discover that frost giants are ribbed for her pleasure.
We recorded this episode the day before the Loki Disney + show premiered, so enjoy our clueless speculation about what may be in the Loki series. 
Note: This is our second Marvel pick, but our first was lost to audio issues. So if we mention Abby's pick or Loki the "Marshmallow Boy" that's why.

We’re going 90s for this special halloween episode and reading a three-part Spike/Buffy story by Verity Watson. Is it acceptable for vampires to kill people? Were cargo pants ever sexy? Why is Spike/Buffy called Spuffy and not Spiffy? That last one is not a rhetorical question, I’m genuinely asking.

In this episode we vote on the best of the eight stories we read in the Star Wars fandom. Choosing was difficult because the Star Wars fandom really knows how to get down. Audrey gets judgemental about butts. And we introduce our next fandom, Marvel! We’ll be taking a break before posting any Marvel episodes, so if you have recs for us in the Marvel fandom you can contact us as always at shiprecspodcast@gmail.com. We’re looking for explicit stories over 30k words.
Best Pairing
Mando and the Reader, Rough Day
Best Sex Scene
Obi Wan and the Reader, The Locked Door
Best Wing Entity (ex: wingman, wingwoman, wingdroid)
The Armorer, Separate Ways
Best Use of the Force
Obi Wan (he knows what he did) from The Locked Door
Best Cocktail
Bee’s Knees, My Bounty
Best use of Lube
Magical Self-Lubricating Condoms from My Bounty

The ladies love this sweet, slow-burn romance between Mando and Luke Skywalker. Author PepperPrints takes extreme liberties with Star Wars sequel cannon, the future of the Jedi order and the Mandalorians, and we eat it uuuuuup! And Audrey does some bitching about the sequel trilogy in this one so for the record: Reylo for life!!!
 
Drink Pairing: Yerba Mate Whiskey Toddy
