03:36 am Roslove by Matthew Haldeman-Time (NC-17)
Fandom: ROSWELL
Pairing: Kyle/Max; Kyle/Max/Michael
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Mattslash
Why this must be read: Mere words cannot express how much I love this fic. If you’re a fan of Roswell slash you simply must read this. Hell, even if you’ve never seen the show, you should still read this. No prior knowledge of the Roswell fandom is needed to understand this fic (or the hot smutty smut). Read read read it. And then go back and re-read it, because it’s that good.

Excerpt: "Well, Dad, if you'd gotten here two minutes ago you would have seen me lying on the floor bleeding to death with major internal organ damage, but then Fucking Max Evans played Jesus Christ and now I'm fine, so nothing to worry about as long as these handprints fade."

12:08 pm The Accountancy Blues by Amanda Sichter (G)
Hey, I'm Sascha, and I'll be doing the X-Men comicbook recommendations for June. Mostly it'll be slash, but there'll also be some gen pieces. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do.


Fandom: X-MEN COMICBOOKS
Pairing: None

Why this must be read: This fic is hilarious, that's my main reason. The characters are also well written, and I have no problems believing they would do exactly this... If they were ever audited.

Canon fact: Bobby Drake aka Iceman is actually a CPA. No, really.

03:16 pm Soap Opera by Yahtzee (PG-13)
Fandom: ALIAS
Pairing: Sydney/Weiss
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63
Author Website:Yahtzee's Fic
Why this fic must be read:

Because when I first read this I actually squee'd--out loud. Yahtzee's Weiss is sweet and sarcastic and so dammed funny. She has captured him perfectly, the characterization in this fic is stellar. Here's a sample wherein Weiss rationalizes why he'll always be just the "buddy" for Sydney:

"Because – you know, it wasn't ever gonna be me. Not
ever. Women like Sydney Bristow don't end up with guys
like me. Women like Sydney end up with guys like
Vaughn. Guys who have the body and the face and the
cool apartment and the season tickets. These guys,
it's like candlelight dinners and long walks on the
beach just materialize around them; they step right
out of a soap opera, and they're so damn nice you
can't even hate 'em for it. Vaughn's one of those
guys. That's why I figured that, once he was single
again, I was pretty much out of the picture."

She takes the classic seduction fantasy, spins it on its head and makes you love her for doing that to you. Just a great, great story.

03:23 pm Firecracker by the_dala (PG-13)
FANDOM: Pirates of the Caribbean
Title: Firecracker
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] the_dala
Author's Website: n/a
Why this must be read:

There is a reason that Will and Elizabeth love each other the way they do. This piece weaves a lovely backstory for them. The voices of each character is spot-on, especially Jack, who works so well even when he's not the main focus of the story.

08:10 pm The Candle and the Star by Deborah Judge (PG)
Hello, I'm Sab, here to pimp my ride for the month of June and bring the Babylon 5 fannish love to all who are hungry. Expect slash and het and gen and lots of aliens, and I will do my damndest to represent the best of this fandom in our short precious little month. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] shaggirl for handing me the keys to the van.

And soooo...


Fandom: BABYLON 5
Pairing: Lennier, beginning of a series that will include Lennier/Delenn. (John/Delenn implied)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] deborah_judge
Author Website: Deborah's Stories
Why this must be read: Deborah is the internet's consummate Delenn/Lennier 'shipper, and this story is a terrific introduction to her post-series series of Lennier stories. Heavy spoilers for "Objects in Motion"/"Objects at Rest" and "Sleeping in Light," of course, and the stories won't resonate as well if you haven't seen the end of the series.

In "The Candle and the Star," we meet Lennier post-"Objects at Rest," gone off to find himself and prove himself worthy of Delenn's love. All around him, the galaxy is in turmoil, as the Drahk continue to exercise control over Centauri Prime. Deborah does a marvelous job capturing Lennier's desperation and the depth of his love for Delenn, and she's got a whiz-bang of a POV device framing the story. Mr. Morden came to see Lennier in "Day of the Dead," but Lennier never got to answer Morden's favorite question: "what do you want?" So here, Deborah lets him.

08:11 pm What to believe by Actizera (PG-13... I'm not good at rating)
Hi, I'm Alinewrites and I'll be handling the Oz recs for this month (oh, June already? lol). It's a great pleasure because this fandom has some very talented writers and the show is so good it's a pleasure to write about it.
I'll try to rec as well canon fics and A/U fics because Oz has a lot of both.


Let's start with a canon one.

Fandom: OZ
PairingTobias Beecher/Chris Keller
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] actizera
Author Website: http://actizera.popullus.net/ but the story isn't archived there yet.


Why this must be read: This story is probably one of the best I read in a long time. You have to read it because the characterization is *perfect*; both characters are absolutely true to themselves. The writing is awesome and flawless. The story is short but tells so much... it's about loving each other and fearing each other and trust (or not) and the issues the characters keep having all along the show. There's something about a newspaper... I'm sure you'll write the author just to *know* about it. A lot of things are suggested rather than shown and therefore it is so much better than just the plain exhibition of facts... And the way the story's built is very original.

Here's a quote )

Go read it! It's not only excellent fan-fiction, it's a writing lesson too.

10:42 pm Devil in A New Dress by A. Leigh-Anne Childe (R, perhaps)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully (sort of)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] eliade
Author Website: Anna's Stories
Why this must be read:

Because among many excellent stories by this author, it's the one that I found the most revealing about the characters. Everyone recs slash stories by A. Leigh-Anne Childe (and please don't ask how long it took me to suss out the pronounciation of her name!) for a good reason, they're excellent! SO, just to be different, I'm reccing the only X-Files story she wrote that wasn't slash, but examines the relationship between Scully and Mulder.

Mulder isn't answering his phone, and Scully is worried. Perhaps with good reason.
