Title: Until I Saw Your Face
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart + Ensemble
Summary: Harry just needs somewhere to lay low and patch himself up. He isn't expecting to meet someone who fascinates him, or to run into that someone again and again.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Very Long (103,322 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Prostitution, canon-typical violence, minor character death, light dom/sub and bondage (this fic is not at all as a kinky as that makes it sound); written as an H/C bingo straight line extra for "disappearing", "secret allies", "wild card" (prostitution), "fighting" and "touch-starved"; not Brit-picked. (Or very well researched. Sorry.)
Excerpt: Harry offered the first figure that came into his head. Judging from the way the boy's eyes widened, it was far too high.

He said, “I know a place,” a little too quickly. “Let me just…” He took out his phone and fired off several texts in quick succession. “One of my stepdad’s mates works in a- a hotel real close to here.” From his stutter, Harry guessed that it wasn’t a very high class establishment- but then if Harry had wanted high class he would have sought it out himself. Somewhere where they had seen everything, where they looked the other way without question- that was what Harry needed at the moment, and his knowledge of such areas in London was unfortunately lacking.

Title: Through the Years
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart + Ensemble
Summary: Across three Christmases.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium (4,910 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: I suspect this doesn't completely work with the timeline of the movie, so I guess just think of it as slightly AU? Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: Merlin didn’t let Eggsy into Harry’s room very often. Eggsy wasn’t sure if it was actually because he wanted Eggsy to concentrate on the trials- which would probably make Merlin the only person who thought Eggsy was going to last long enough for it to matter- or if he just didn’t want to encourage the stupid school kid crush he clearly knew Eggsy had on Harry.

See, Eggsy knew it was stupid. He didn’t even understand it most of the time, just why he had walked out of that police station, took one look at Harry- twice his age, all perfectly put together and posh- and thought yes please.

Other times, Eggsy remembered seeing Harry plow through Dean’s boys like one of his most secret fantasies made flesh. He remembered hearing Harry’s voice come out of nowhere like the voice of God and save him from Dean. He remembered feeling Harry's heat and inhaling his expensive cologne as Harry settled at his side and said he had potential and he- for the first time in a long time- believed it. Those times, Eggsy thought of course you’ve got a crush on him, bruv.

Title: Quiet
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Michelle Unwin + Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Daisy Unwin
Summary: Michelle still isn't quite sure what to make of Harry.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,381 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: References to past abuse. This fills the "accidents" square for my H/C bingo. I wasn't really planning to write this, but the prompt inspired me and it did fill in some blanks, so here it is. Part of my Heart and Understanding series. The next installment will be more Harry/Eggsy-centric (probably). Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: Even giving him the benefit of the doubt, Michelle didn't always know how she felt about Harry- this young man who she could have sworn was older, this she-didn’t-even-know-what who had turned her son’s life upside down in- it seemed- all the best possible ways. Looking at him in his perfectly tailored suit, and listening to his unfailingly crisp annunciation, Michelle would never have expected someone like Harry to be as good for Eggsy as he was without there being some kind of catch. But, like with the windfalls that had brought her this new house and this new life, Michelle was starting- slowly- to believe that maybe there was no catch.

Title: None But You
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Michelle Unwin, Daisy Unwin, Original Characters
Summary: Sequel to No Charm Equal, in which there are overdue conversations and unexpected revelations.
Rating: PG-13
Length: 4,106 words
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: A “No Charm Equal” follow up where Harry meets Michelle was always in popular demand (and I feel like this isn't the version of it that anyone was hoping for, sorry), but what really prompted this fic was a reader who asked for that and also Eggsy getting jealous when someone flirted with Harry. It made me decide that there were a couple of things I still needed to address, so hopefully the angst here won’t feel like drama for drama’s sake (and of course there’s a happy ending). The title is from Persuasion- "I have loved none but you." The context there isn't the best fit, but I wanted to keep to the Austen theme. This also fills my H/C bingo "hugs" square.
Excerpt: Harry and Eggsy had ultimately decided that Eggsy should tell his mother that he and Harry had only recently made things official between them, which despite their long acquaintance was technically the truth. It wasn't a truth that made Harry look very good, but he knew he deserved that. After all, it was his own fault that nothing had happened between them earlier. Eggsy wouldn’t soon let Harry live down how long it had taken him to see that Eggsy was in love with him, and Merlin and the rest of Harry’s fellow cupids wouldn’t soon let him live down how long it had taken him to see that he was in love with Eggsy.

Title: The Courtship of Harry Hart
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Roxy Morton, Michelle Unwin
Summary: Eggsy decides to woo Harry- which turns out to be more complicated than it seems.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (8,608 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Titles are officially the bane of my existence, I'm telling you. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: “If I liked somebody back in the day,” Eggsy explained, “I’d know exactly what to do about it. But everything’s different here and I… well, I gotta make sure H- well, the person that I like- knows how serious I am about this. Everything’s gotta be perfect, you know?”

Roxy blinked at him. “Eggsy,” she said slowly. “Is this about Harry?”

Eggsy felt himself flushing. He knew he had to be prepared for this reaction from people. He knew what he was like and what Harry was like and that everyone was going to think it was some kind of joke, Eggsy actually thinking he had a shot with Harry. And it wasn’t like Eggsy didn’t also know that there was a good chance of Harry turning him down flat- but he was hoping that if he did everything right Harry would at least let him try.

Title: Wind to Fire
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Michelle Unwin, Merlin, Roxy Morton, Original Characters
Summary: The year after V-Day.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long (18,177 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: The title comes from the quote “Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great" by Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, which I know has been done before if not in this fandom, but it just fit so well here. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: The week Eggsy became Galahad was characterized by a lot of kicking Dean’s arse until he finally got the message, moving his and his mum and sister’s stuff into Harry’s place and moving Harry’s things up to the attic, and trying to work out his place in Kingsman when the world wasn’t ending.

Eggsy spent a lot of that time thinking about the little things he’d say to Harry if he could.

I tried doing some icons for this of round of

hc_bingo. These are for the wild card square. I'm doing possession/mind control, though it's a slightly liberal interpretation. The SIM cards count as mind control, right?

I'm still improving, but I like a few of them.

Title: No Charm Equal
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Lancelot/Percival, Amelia/Roxy Morton, Gazelle/Richmond Valentine, Merlin, Daisy Unwin, Michelle Unwin, Chester King, Charlie Hesketh, Jamal
Summary: Harry is a cupid. His latest assignment is proving to be... complicated.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Very Long (29,095 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Not Brit-picked. Includes some references to domestic abuse and prostitution (the former is about the same as the movie itself, and the latter just a little bit more on the nose, and neither play a very big part in this story). The title comes from the quote, "There is no charm equal to the tenderness of the heart" from Jane Austen. Giant thank you to klaudos for beta-ing (and for the help with the title).
Excerpt: To say that Harry was too surprised to react at first would have been a grave understatement. He wasn’t literally invisible, because he did sometimes need to interact with mortals to do his job, he was just unnoticeable. People- the particular charge he had been assigned to most of all- were meant to see him and yet never actually process his presence. Unless he showed up in their houses- which a gentleman would never do, of course- they would ignore him and just get on with their lives. And yet here Eggsy was, closer than anyone had been to Harry since- well, since he was mortal, and that was long enough ago that Harry could hardly remember it- snarling, “Why are you following me?”
