07:21 am Certamen by Andraste (R)
Fandom: BABYLON 5
Pairing: Londo/Urza Jaddo
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] andrastewhite
Author Website: Altogether Elsewhere
Why this must be read:

I'd tell you this must be read even if it weren't the only piece of tentacle pr0n on the internet.

Urza Jaddo appeared in the season 2 episode "Knives,", but he's one of those guys who gets a lot more play in fanon than canon, because of his relationship with Londo (both "come on, those guys were SO doing it" and "interesting, Londo DOES have a morally upright friend!"). This story universally fulfills all those joneses and more, and it paints a sexy and breathless and innocent picture of Londo in his dueling youth.

Most importantly, of course, "Certamen" addresses the age-old question of how those Centauri tentacles (Andraste dubbed them "brachiarte," thus introducing that word into fanon, use it three times and it's yours) work, exactly, and she manages to make it exploratory and altogether alien and yet oddly titillating and genuinely sexy.

*

Urza gives up on silence altogether as Londo manages to work the other brachiarte inside his shirt and begins rubbing him in all the right places. It is difficult to hold out against an opponent who knows him so well. Not that it has ever helped Londo to beat him in a sword fight.

Apparently, the same thought is in Londo's mind as Urza relents and extends two of his own brachiarti at last. As they twine around one another and fall into a familiar rhythm, he smiles. "You see, here you never win against me."

04:33 pm A Girl in Need by loki (G)
Fandom: ROSWELL
Pairing: Michael/Maria
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://www.fangurl.com/

Why this must be read: This is such a sweet fic! Probably because of the pile of angst in between the adorableness. Thirteen year old!Maria and thirteen year old!Michael make for an a-freaking-dorable ficlet.

10:25 pm The Threat of Other Chicks by Ethan Nelson (NC-17)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Skinner
Author on LJ: Not that I know
Author Website: Seriously Bent (Doesn't include the X-Files stories, but they're at the Basement)
Why this must be read:

I've been trying not to pick authors that already appear in the X-Files Memories, so Torch, Sleeps With Coyotes and Xanthe haven't had a look in, but I was delighted to realise no one had recced anything by this author yet.

Mulder and Skinner are lovers. In an unexpected plot development Mulder gets hit on the head. Mulder wakes up with amnesia. Skinner has to wrestle with his conscience, and decide whether to take this new Mulder as his lover. Sounds like a recipe for angst? Not in an Ethan Nelson story.
