Finally, it's done. My apologies for the delay. Recs will be forthcoming. Aye, Avast!There are two angles I could take with this overview, but, for the sake of time, space and my sanity, I’m going to focus on one -- the A&E series of films. Also, the two newest additions "Loyalty" and "Duty" have yet to play here in the States, so they will be left out of the overview. Also, in all fairness I have to warn now there be spoilers for the movies, including the fate of one of the much-beloved characters. ( Step aboard ) | | |

Fandom: X-FILES Pairing: Mulder/Krycek Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) flambeauAuthor's Website: the flambeau factoryWhy this must be read: Chances are (if you're not a total newbie) Torch has written something in your fandom, so you already know how good she is. Ghosts and its sequel Lovers are wonderful reads -- Scully is Scully, Mulder is Mulder, and Krycek is hot like a hot thing. There's some fabulous interaction, an actual X-File, the dialogue works, and ... you need to go read this story. GhostsThe sequel, Lovers | | |

Fandom: Lotrips Pairing: Elijah/Viggo Author's LJ: bettypAuthor Website: http://www.waxjism.org/betty/Why this must be read: For completely selfish reasons: this is Betty's only Lotrips story and if enough people nag her about it, she might be persuaded to write more. Okay seriously, I love the characterisation in this. This is the mature Elijah I know from interviews. Like I said in the overview: he may be a total dork but there's no way of mistaking him for someone who doesn't know what he's doing. This story isn't terribly hot or exiting or anything like that, it is interesting. It's one of these rare stories that make you think. Ingenue | | |

Since I'm freezing to death, I thought I'd warm myself up with some SH recs. Fandom: Starsky/Hutch Pairing: Starsky/Hutch Fiction Website: http://www.squidge.org/~flamingo/starskyhutchslash/classic/Problem/trails.htmWhy this must be read: Originally published in the zine COLD PIZZA AND BUTTERFLY BONES. Takes place post-Sweet Revenge (as do alot of the great fics). Starsky's point of view, he has realized his love and is pondering it. The story sets out to reveal the truth to Hutch, as well, but sometimes your heart knows before your head. | | |

Fandom: Starsky/Hutch Pairing: Starsky/Hutch Fiction Website: http://www.squidge.org/~flamingo/starskyhutchslash/classic/Rosemary/charade.htmlWhy this must be read: Originally published in the zine "Who You Know, What You Know, and How You Know It." This story was the one that pinpointed WHY I saw slash in SH even before I knew what slash was. It was all about the food, the love, the sharing without boundaries. "Uhhh...I mean, we don't make love if that's what you're insinuating." "With you two it doesn't matter." One of Hutch's old lovers comes back and opens Hutch's eyes to the truth. Love, intimacy, partnership...what Hutch shares with Starsky is something different than what he shares with others, but what does it really mean? Sometimes you're too blind to see what's right in front of you the whole time. | | |

Fandom: Starsky/Hutch Pairing: Starsky/Hutch Fiction Website: http://www.geocities.com/jat_sapphire/SH_stories/haven.htmWhy this must be read: It's a season one story, but the feelings are still the same. They're gonna have sex, real good sex. And the best part is, it fits perfectly between the pilot and the first episode. Yes, they had sex. No, it doesn't affect canon at all because it is canon, visual canon. Sometimes a PWP is all you need to get really happy with the boys:) (The icon is Starsky's butt...and it IS illegal) | | |

Fandom:BLAKES7 Pairing:Blake/Avon Author on LJ:? Author Website:? Why this mustbe read:Or not, as the case may be. People who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. I keep trying to get through the damn thing in the interests of research, and keep dropping off partway through. (Other people hate it even more than I do, but there's a contingent that reads and re-reads Careless Whispers whenever they want a three-hanky schmoopfest.) However, if what you want is an operatic bel canto version of Their Post-Gauda-Prime Luv is so Schmoopy, this is the central text. It's a happy-ending PGP AU: Blake is President of the reconstituted Federation, Avon is his chief advisor, and just like canon S1 Avon gets tired of telling Blake what a nitwit he is and decides to head out on his own. But things are never that simple, and there's palace intrigue, an assassination attempt, clinches, passionate declarations of undying love... Careless Whispers | | |
