AR Ship Week - Fanwork Recs in 2024
This is the second weekly post in the lead up to Alex Rider Ship Week. 3 weeks to go!
This week we’ve got a selection of shippy fanwork recs submitted by members of the fandom.
**Please note that I haven’t listed all the details for the fics so take care to read the tags on AO3 before diving in!
YASSEN/ALEX
Devotion by countessrivers
Tender, like a fresh wound, the kind you can't help but press a finger on to relish in the pain.
Adjournment by icebluecyanide
I could have read three tournaments just to get more Yalex interactions!
To The Sea by Suzie_Shooter
To the sea is a bitter sweet roadmovie except it’s a beautifully written fanfic. It has drama and angst and love. It’s beautiful.
Devil in Disguise by Polarnacht
Yassen catches Alex spying and has his way with a chained-up Alex, who doesn't mind very much at all. Very hot yalex smut with some great d/s vibes and also tentacles.
Excellently written tentacle porn. What more could you want?
Spare the Rod by countessrivers
Some great kinky Yalex in an AU where Yassen poses as a teacher at Point Blanc. Really enjoyed it!
A different kind of sacrifice by limnal
A very unique Celtic AU where Yassen is a druid and he and Alex have to consummate their arranged marriage. Very cool setting and some very hot smut.
A Winter Offering by LastlyMatt
Absolutely love the vibes of this fantasy AU, where Alex is left behind in the forest as an offering to the spirit of the forest (Yassen). Some wonderful descriptions here and some lovely angst.
A fantasy AU where Alex has been chosen as a human sacrifice for Yassen, a woodland spirit. Hot and sweet with some beautiful imagery.
Contain An Inferno by Rirren
A deliciously dark AU where Martin Wilby keeps Alex prisoner after Ian dies. The Yassen pov is great here, both so cold and detached and yet so captivated by Alex and yearning for something real. Really loved this one!
Yassen finds Alex, chained up and abused in Martin Wilby's bed. Yassen is a bad man, and I love every moment of it.
Sweet Amnesia by Myulalie
Some great Yalex dubcon. Love Alex's determination to save his uncle despite the cost and the vivid descriptions of the surroundings. Loved it!
Exit Strategy by BoldAsBrass
A really fun story where Yassen and Alex meet again on a mission and are both unimpressed by Yassen's latest employer. Yassen's pov gives the story a hilarious dry tone and I love the developing relationship dynamic between him and Alex. Really enjoyed this one!
Calming the Storm by TheOtherBlue
Yassen takes care of keyed up Alex in a way only Yassen can. Hot & intense and yet there is so much undercurrent love and gentleness, perfect mix.
Falling Slowly by RavenJames
"Classic" Yassen buys Alex in an auction fic with a great twist at the end and lofts of messy, conflicted feelings and a loaded past
The Catventures of Alex Rider by LastlyMatt
Alex gets turned into a little kitten and Yassen adopts him, having no idea the real identity of his new pet. Fluffy and sweet, read this one a bunch of times for cozy cuteness.
Who By Brave Assent by TheOtherBlue
Dub con fucking for a mission, Yassen enjoying the strange kind of intimacy it affords him, Alex losing virginity and niavety, but not having too bad a time.
Petty Crime by EnviousWriter
Not many fics explore how much Yassen was messed up by Alex. This one is basically my headcanon of Yassen being unable to continue on with his normal life after Eagle Strike. The plot is fun and the interactions between Yassen and Alex are a joy.
glass and paper by greenkite (shirohyasha)
Devilverse AU, Alex trying to take some measure of control over his future by getting Yassen to take his virginity, from Yassen's perspective and his insistence on studying Alex's reactions purely as an asset and being emotionally/physically unaffected not being convincing at all.
High Wire by fredbasset
24 year old Alex Rider being more of a menace than ever, even getting a chance to try his hand at a victorious villain monologue. Sharp, witty, really compelling look at Alex and Yassen ten years on, post-scorpia, still on opposite sides, but still loyal to each other, even when work tries to intervene.
The Stowaway by TheOtherBlue
An excellent canon divergence where Alex becomes stuck with Yassen on the Fer de Lance after boarding it in the Eagle Strike book. It starts out reading like canon, then gradually morphs into something much darker (and very hot). I love how sinister but in-character Yassen is here.
This feels VERY in character and believable to me. Yalex and Coster and how it's intertwined and all that
Alone together by Ireliss
This work about how past sexual trauma affects Yassen and Alex’s life together is beautiful, moving, quietly sad and hopeful. It’s incredibly well-written.
Falling for you in time and space by kelkblr
This is such a sweet romantic series. I love the concern Yassen has for Alex, and I love the way they become each other's family through their isolation. The setting is so well researched and feels so real too.
Coma White by hjbender
Yassen captures Alex in Japan. Dark, dreamlike and compelling.
Specific Performance by BurntWhisper
Yassen has been instructed to kill Alex but has to decide whether to see it through or not. They both choose to make the most of their potentially-limited time together. Extremely hot with a rough, dominant Yassen. The characterisation of both Alex and Yassen is on point.
The Right Touch by Strange_Soulmates
A Star Wars AU where ISB Lieutenant Yassen is trying to track down the rebel agent Alex, resulting in some very, very hot dream dubcon. Really great adaptation of canon character dynamics.
We Keep Meeting Each Other Like This by TheOtherBlue
Very hot, very well written, and I love the escalation that comes with each meeting.
Salt, Smoke and Water by Too_Many_Rooks
Gender flipped Yalex. So well written, very hot, and with that excellent dubcon/Yassen is kind of a bastard element.
A Friend Indeed by Too_Many_Rooks
The meetings between Yassen and Alex with the time jumps between them give a great impression of time passing and Alex getting older, and changing, Yassen borderline pining, but it's still a very neat and coherent story that grows into its ending. There's sex and angst and regret and murder and Alex being a little shit. It's perfect.
A Timely Rescue by TheOtherBlue
Just really hot and such a compelling meeting between Alex and Yassen. Time travel and dubcon is a great mix of tropes as well.
Her Finger On The World by countessrivers
Who doesn't love Julia being a creep? Also Yassen is so precious here,,,,
Netflix And Kill by Suzie_Shooter
This was literally the first Yalex fic I ever read.
Sweet Amnesia by Myulalie
TV Yalex with a different first meeting. Even with Alex not knowing Yassen's identity the danger and connection between them is tangible, and the sex is dark and hot.
I Can See You by countessrivers
Stalking fic that is honestly really sweet. I love Yassen's weird way of showing affection.
OTHER PAIRINGS
Hold Me Down by countessrivers
Julia/Yassen/Alex vampire feed-fuck threeway. Need I say more? I will. Manipulative, seductive, mind-controling Julia, puppetting Alex and Yassen like they're toys for her pleasure, using Alex for his blood, his body, his potential, his connection to his father, and taking whatever she pleases. One of my all time favourites. Julia/Yassen/Alex
Притворство и подражание - Pretense and emulation by peeltheavocado
A young Yassen and John Rider go on an assignment in a hospital. Yassen makes a snap decision to prevent their cover being blown. This is first-person Yassen POV and it’s done very well. John/Yassen
hold me tight and fear me not by thealphaaxolotl.
I am an Alexmis fan first and foremost and this fic is incredible. I've read it dozens of times and it only gets better. Alex Rider/Artemis Fowl II
Explorations in Parenthood by Too_Many_Rooks
Technically a series, but a very sweet and fun Ian/Yassen au. Baby Alex is simultaneously adorable and a menace. Ian/Yassen
A Series of Unexpected Events by kelkblr
Really well written exploration of not just an on/off Ian/Yassen relationship, but of how Ian joins the Department and him raising Alex. Filling in the gaps implied by the shows first episode, evening bringing in one of the short stories. I regularly reread this one. Ian/Yassen
If Wishes Were Horses by fredbasset
Aaaaand this was the first AR fic I ever read!
Only Once in Paris by Zombieheroine
Points for characterization and originality. Also this is so me coded.

Having both Alex Rider and Fantasy High on the mind rn has got me thinking, the Riders are basically the Gukgaks.
Alex sneaky, good at picking locks, always trying to solve mysteries, a bit of a feral goblin menace. His father is a spy who was betrayed and murdered and Alex has to deal with conflicting stories about what kind of man he was. In a version where he lives, an exasperated Ian keeps finding Alex at crime scenes
#there’s also the weird vibes coming from kalina/julia given the history with pok/John#this makes sense to me ok

Can we please remember the time that John basically played at being Yassen's sugar daddy on Scorpia's dime? Because I do.

I think Sam Reich needs to do just one regular, normal, vanilla version of Game Changer randomly so that when it ends Brennan never feels safe.
