It's a toss-up between two fics, really. I've re-read each probably a dozen times in the past year? (I think I've also recced the first at least twice on F!S.)

NOSTER NOSTRI by spicyshimmy (Post-DA2 Anders/Fenris)
Three years after the events of Act 3, Anders and Justice are separated, but everything goes wrong in the process. Fenris is a gladiator (sort of) and Anders wears a Saarebas collar (sometimes) and Danarius's summer pavilion factors in heavily.

Shimmy's summary doesn't do it justice. Absolutely the BEST characterization and descriptions of Fenris I've ever seen in a fic. And Shimmy managed to perfectly capture how Anders is caught between the man we saw in Awakening, and in DA2, and now stranded alone with Fenris of all people. Over all this is a fun adventure romp with slow-burn romance thrown in and a very satisfying ending.

A lot of people don't like Fenders, but this fic perfectly captures why it works so well as a pairing.

shall we take a spin again (no witnesses) by miikkaa_xx (AU Thorki)
When Thor is need of money to help a friend, he turns to a less-than-legal source. However, what should have been a simple borrow-and-pay-back arrangement gets turned upside down when loanshark!Loki decides he wants something more than simply money in return.

In only a matter of days, Loki draws Thor into a dark, violent underworld, and it soon becomes clear that he has no intention of letting go.


Thor's descent is captured perfectly. This isn't a story where a good guy goes bad. There's no Dark!Thor here, only a guy who falls in love with a villain. The narrative doesn't shy from showing just how awful the shit Loki's involved in is, but at the same time Loki is still wonderfully human. It hits the perfect balance of glamorizing and demonizing the subject matter.
