Any fandom, any rating.

For two very different shades of dysfunction, I liked "A Paler Shade Of White" over in Madness, a Withnail & I fic where Withnail and Marwood reunite:

And I liked "Out Of Bounds", an Another Country fic where Bennett plays with fire and gets some horny Fowler consequences. Gets kickass mileage out of canonical caning.

I can't believe there's a fandom with canonical caning I didn't know about!

Excellent, coalie! I'm glad to bring young Rupert Everett getting caned into your life. (Also if you're feeling so inclined please share your favorite canons for caning, because I'm always on the hunt.)

Coalie, I LOLed so hard. (Full disclosure: this is my fic, and this is my favorite description! <3 I wish I had come up with something like that for the summary.)

I liked this Hamlet fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21483970

I also liked this fic. It's for IGOR (the Tyler the Creator album) but focuses on OCs so "canon knowledge" is unnecessary. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21740587

ALL the stories for The Lighthouse, both main collection and madness. Oh man, they're all really good, and the Ephraim/Thomas relationship is full of what the fuckery, just like in the movie. Good, good stuff.

This Ritual fic takes a canon dysfunctional relationship between a group of friends and give a an even more fucked up backstory for the ship at its core https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2019/works/21813619

This Penny Dreadful fic gives a do-over for a canon m/m one night stand. Dorian Grey is jaded and only wants to fuck freaks, so it’s good his friend is a werewolf https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2019/works/21625108

+1, 4 out of 5 Rocketman fics are deeply unhealthy/dysfunctional m/m (Elton John/John Reid is canonical)
