self-indulgent reading list exercise

This is a head-clearing exercise. Anti-fanfic, in a way. I'm trying to write fic and there are unexpected emotions coming into play. After an hour or so of trying to force, then just reconcile, I'm conceding space to angst I hadn't planned. It's one of those situations where if I don't cooperate, all the boys are putting their shirts back on and going home.

So. What are y'all reading?
