Possession Arc by Paxnirvana (NC-17)
Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Pairing: Youji/Aya
Author on LJ:
paxnirvana
Author Website: Paxnirvana's Circle of Hell
Why this must be read:
Because the stories are well-characterized and hot.
Which is possibly a bit short, so I'll add that they are woven nicely into the WK timeline (starting during the time before Aya kills Takatori and worked around the events during the middle of the anime), are also well-written, and occasionally made me laugh.
The only thing that irked me about them is that the author occasionally makes the characters use the term 'uke', which throws me every time I see it: 'uke' and 'seme' are (Japanese) fannish terms, no one outside of fandom will even know what they're referring to. My local copy of the story has the word replaced with 'bottom' - if this is a hot button for any of you, I recommend saving the stories and doing a search-and-replace before reading.
It took me all this month to read through my favorite Youji/Aya stories while trying to decide which one to rec, and I only realized yesterday that I had forgotten about this particular story. If I had remembered it earlier, I'd have written this rec nearly a month ago.
Possession (followed by Silence, Hold On, Elsewhere, Wait, Circle Part 1 and Circle Part 2)
***
According to the webpage, there will be 2 more stories in this arc (and half of one is actually available), but the author seems to mostly write other fandoms now. I'd love to know how she was/is planning to end the arc, but it stands alone as it is quite nicely.
I must admit that I've never read any of her other stories, so I can't tell you how they compare with the Possession arc.
