08:52 am the law of excluded middle by mare j (r-nc-17ish)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: JC/Lance
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] marej
Author Website: popslash stories hosted on just so pretty


Why this really should be read:
Inspired by an odd, awkward photo of the band with Britney and Bobbie and, er, Carrot Top (though he is no way part of the story), this is a rich and complex story that nearly three years after I first read it, I remember echoes of it at random moments. Lovely use of canon and second person narrative that isn't intrusive but seamless. One the fics that I first read in the fandom that convinced me popslash had so many of the best writers.

02:18 pm Ping by Speranza (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Author Website: Speranza's Fiction
Why this must be read: Oh my. Just OH MY!! I can't believe this hasn't been recc'ed before. It's just so hot and just so perfect and just so HOT.

Here's a little taste: In two years, I've heard Fraser ping exactly four times, and all four times the uptake was wrong. Ping Number Two had a deadbeat husband to go with her kids, so game over, thanks for playing. Ping Number Three was Lady Shoes, except Fraser might have been bluffing that one, so I'm not even sure. Ping Number Four was this guy Alex Sharpe who worked down at the garage, and he had me really worried, because Fraser's ping got the uptake of an answering ping, and then Alex braced his work-gloved hand on the pole of the lift and brushed his hair off his forehead and Fraser went ping again. Then Alex smiled and Fraser smiled and it was all moving real fast--except then Alex opened his mouth and said something about calling his bitch of a mother.

Go. Read. It. NOW.

02:34 pm Claiming the Throne by Eledhwen (PG)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: n/a; Aragorn, Denethor, Faramir, the Fellowship
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Dreamy Aspirations

Why this must be read:

This is an intriguing AU that answers an oft-discussed question: If Denethor had lived, how would he have reacted to Aragorn's appearance and claim to the throne of Gondor? This story is well-thought out and executed, with very believable characterizations throughout, particularly of Aragorn and Denethor.

03:06 pm The Evil Within by Nicole Anell (R)
Fandom: Roswell
Pairing:Kyle/Tess
Author's LJ: n/a
Author's website:Just Another Random Roswell Page

Why this must be read: It's written in an unconventional style. It blew me away when I first read it and it's still one of my favourite Roswell stories. A dark and haunting story.

10:16 pm Primary by Velvetglove (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] velvetglove
Author Website: Glovebox

Why this must be read:

I love Jed and I love her work and this is my favorite.

Random quotes to get you there:

This was going poorly already. “Look, Franny, it’s Lex’s mom. She died twenty years ago, and today would have been her birthday. I visit her every year.”

and

She countered with, “I’ve seen Mom and Dad kiss.”

“That’s different,” Clark said, but before he could elaborate, she continued.

“Yeah,” she agreed. “They don’t use tongues.”


So go read it:

Author Website: Something Amiss

Why this must be read:

It's a snippet really, but it mentions the Justice League and I love Norty so I wanted to recc her work. They are cute and short, and Anti-Rift. Lex would mock Clark.

11:02 pm A Dare is a Dare by Speranza (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Author Website: Speranza's Fiction
Why this must be read: I couldn't help myself. I'm in love with Speranza. I don't think if I tried I could find a fic that hits all my kinks like this one. And of course, Speranza wrote it. This is hotter than hot. It's hotter than that!! I honestly don't know what else I could say about this fic other than it will make you drool. I promise.

Here, read this...."C'mon, I dare you."

This seemed to get Fraser's attention; he capped his fountain pen carefully, set it aside, and looked up at Ray. His eyes were dark blue, deep sea blue--dangerous waters, there. "You're daring me?"

Ray smiled slowly, leaned forward a bit, and nodded. "Double dog daring you."


How could you resist a Mountie in a dare?!
