Reparation by jaye_voy (NC-17)

Hello, I'm [livejournal.com profile] lillyjk and I'll be driving the Lost [livejournal.com profile] crack_van this month. That means I'm going to be reccing a lot of slash, and a lot of different slash pairings along with the occasional humor fic. To kick things off, here's one of my favorite slash stories featuring one of my favorite pairings:


Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Sawyer/Sayid
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jaye_voye
Author's Website: Other than livejournal, unknown

Why this must be read: This is one of the first Sawyer/Sayid stories I read, and it really stuck with me. It's set mid-season 1 and incorporates just the right amount or angst along with snark and hot sex. The author takes Sawyer beyond the one-note character that appears in so many fics. Yes, we know he's a con man, but we also know that there's more to him than a dimpled smile and a bad attitude. I find her portrayal of Sayid particularly stunning because she delves into the guilt over his time as a Republican Guard, and the struggle he has with the man he once was and the man he's trying to be. Oh, and the sex is really really hot!



Sawyer had strict rules about that sort of thing. Always had. He fucked women for business, men for pleasure. Because despite the redneck/he-man/no-faggots-allowed posturing of the good ol' boys below the Mason-Dixon, Sawyer had discovered that more than a few fine fellas whistled quite a different tune behind closed doors.

Yay, looking forward to your recs this month!

I almost rec'd this one back in August! Definitely one of my faves too. Sooo freakin' hot! And such great characterization too.
