Fandom: DUE SOUTH Pairing: Ray Kowalski/Benton Fraser Author on LJ: kassrachelAuthor Website: http://www.trickster.org/kass/Why this must be read: So - sigh. I wanted to get to all twelve recs I'm allowed this month, but I think I'm only going to have time for three more which will bring me to nine total. Bad estrella, no biscuit. Anyhow, my last three recs are going to be for three classy ladies, and three wonderful stories. They are the first three DS people I ever corresponded with, and I'm going to rec them in the order I emailed them, and for the story that prompted that email. ( Which I will do, behind the cut. )Control | | |

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Pairing: Napoleon/Illya, Illya/female Author on LJ: No Author Website: None Why this must be read: Cord has a style of writing that draws me in to the sense of place and the inner emotions of the characters. I don't think he's written a bad story, but this is my personal favorite. BewitchedETA: Sorry for the bad link. It's been fixed now. | | |

and now for something completely different! Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS Pairing: Bodie/Doyle Author on LJ: not as far as i know Author Website: unknown Why this must be read: besides the fact that you should really read everything by lezlie, because i think it's good for you, like vitamins or tofu? well, just because! ^__^ because it's funny as hell, because it takes all the fanon characteristics of bodie and doyle and turns them on their heads, because her explanation of 'The Game' makes me snort through my nose every time, because you want to read more of this very singular bodie/doyle vision. (i would kill for the bodie AU backstory on this) like i said: just because. go, read! Blood of the Lamb | | |

Fandom: PRIDE AND PREDJUDICE Pairing: Darcy/Bingley Author on lj: it would seem not. Author website: Here (it's actually an art page, but better than nothing, right?) Why this must be read:Yes, it is among that rare breed of "Pride and Predjudice" fic, a story involving slash. When I say 'rare' I mean 'four or five fics.' There's not much canonical evidence for these two, unless you're looking though some heavily tinted slash- glasses, but this fic does their relationship justice. It's not rampant porn,(what, you were expecting that? In this fandom?) but a nicely structured short story. Having Been Rebuked | | |

Fandom: PRIDE AND PREDJUDICE Pairing: Dracy/Bingley Author on lj: adonyaAuthor Website: no. Why this must be read:Because it requires a sense of fun, and an ability to lighten up. This is a rather dry fandom, and I'd like to bookend my recs with some much- needed cheer. And, no, 'dry' was not an intentional pun. Darcy is very well done here, with all of his patronizing attitude and wit. Plus, it has both men very wet. From rainwater, you deviant minds. Golden RainsAw, crap. The fic is currently under friends-lock. I've been spamming poor adonya about this, so hopefully, you'll be able to read it soon.(And with this rec, I depart from the crack peddling. Have a nice October!) | | |

Fandom: FARSCAPE Pairing: John Crichton, D'Argo, Rygel, Crais Author on LJ: kixxa Author Website: kixxa_ficsWhy this must be read: Kixxa is Farscape fandom's acknowledged master of romp!fic, which can cause the unwary to unintentionally inhale, spew, or otherwise mishandle food and beverages while reading. This goofy and clever fic takes the notion of reality tv to another galaxy far, far away (no, not that one) and then twists it in the best Farscapean tradition. You'll laugh so hard you'll wake the dog from sound sleep, scatter cats in all directions, annoy the hell out of roommates, friends, and family... ( Excerpt )Circle of 'Friends' | | |

Fandom: OZ Pairing: None Author on LJ: ??? Author Website: Stories By Mairead TristeWhy this must be read: For Alvarez fans, this is a short but incisive look at the contradictions and complexities that made Miguel such a compelling, tragic figure. The author really captures Miguel's sadness and yearning to belong, that mix of machismo and boyishness, cynicism and sensitivity that you could always see in his eyes and body language. And the writing is beautiful. Vigilius | | |
