07:34 am Dancing Lessons by Kirby Crow (NC-17)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Jayne/Simon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kirbycrow
Author Website: Slash Girls

Why this must be read:
I really like the Jayne voice in this pair of stories, and the characterization of Simon feels psychologically sound. These stories are short and sexy, but the sex isn't the point--exploring the the relationship between Simon and Jayne is. The slash begins with an question of ambiguous consent that doesn't go too far, and it ends with really hot sex. The sequel has a section with excellent River voice and ties up the emotional arc in "Dancing Lessons," so I am linking it, too, but the first story is the reason that I fell in love with this fandom.

11:53 am Ranma 1/2: An Overview
I'm Elke, and I'm driving for Ranma 1/2 this month, a fandom devoted to the manga and anime series created by Rumiko Takahashi. In its heyday it was anything but a small fandom, but activity has tapered off over the years, and most US media fans aren't familiar with anime fandoms, so here we go... I'm going to try to provide a cross-section of the fandom's classic and noteworthy stories in every genre this month. I'm a firm believer in IDIC and the various pairings (or threesomes) are all of interest to me... many fans stick strongly to a specific OTP in this fandom, or work hard to pair everyone in canon off with someone, while others break everyone up and thrive on the angst.

05:39 pm this is the burning of a dream by buffyx (PGish)
Fandom: The O.C.
Pairing: Ryan/Theresa
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] buffyx
Author Website: buffyx.org

Why this really should be read:

One of the reasons I was excited to do recs for the O.C. this month was a chance to note the many many amazing stories inspired by the season finale. This story is a lyrical exploration of Theresa, Ryan's girl next door from Chino. Not the villain or ho she sometimes gets cast as in, well, message boards and forums I prefer to avoid, but a girl trying to make her life work who genuinely cares for Ryan. [livejournal.com profile] buffyx gives great Theresa and Ryan and a wonderful story.

Like: Because in movies, the girl gets the boy in the end, gets to live in the big pretty house with the pretty lawn and live happily-ever-after. The girl doesn’t wind up pregnant and unsure of the father and homeless and alone, alone. Alone.

this is the burning of a dream.

And, if it weren't clear: this story contains spoilers for the season finale of the O.C.

09:53 pm Buying a Clue by Lennie - PG-13 (for language and a few delicate situations)
Hi y'all. [livejournal.com profile] sprklydncgrl here and I'm your Popslash reccer for August. I'm mostly into *NSync slash but I've read enough crossovers that I might be able to find one or two to rec here. I'm all about JuC, so you'll see quite a few stories featuring Justin and JC but I'll try to give the rest of the guys their share.


Fandom: POPSLASH - *NSLASH
Pairing: Justin/Lance

Why this must be read:

"I said I couldn't be the-" laughter broke off Justin's sentence. "Hey, no tickling!" He grabbed for Lance's hands again and they struggled for a moment before they were distracted by someone else speaking.

"Chris!" Joey called with a grin. "Get in here! The babies are playing a grown-up game."

"What?" Chris bounced up the steps and looked around curiously, then stopped. "Okay, nobody tell the press about Justin's little Lance hobby..."

"It's perfectly innocent, I swear," Lance swore with a grin that was anything but.

JC appeared behind Chris and looked at the papers that had ended up spread around the floor and Lance sitting in Justin's lap. "If it's not something that we're going to have to say we never saw, what the hell are you guys doing?"

Lance cleared his throat. "Justin said that when they make the *Nsync superhero action adventure cartoon I get to be the arch-villain. But an arch-villain needs the right entourage, so I'm trying to teach Justin how to be a vain but deadly and treacherous trophy-mistress."
