03:27 am Something Me In You by Aoe (PG-13)
Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Pairing: Youji, Schuldig
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aoeliveshere
Author Website: Bleeding Hearts

Why this must be read:

When Farfarello disturbs a fight between Schuldig and Youji, Youji's body ends up in a coma, and Schuldig's head ends up with an additional occupant.

I absolutely adore what Aoe has done with this set-up. Her Schuldig is easily influenced by whoever he is around, and her Youji is very convinced that he is really not gay. They're both extremely surprised to find out that they might like each other.

Aoe has a good grasp of the characters, and her characterizations work well. There's Bastard!Crawford, but he still makes for interesting reading. The story is relatively long (around 400K) and develops slowly, making it a treat to sink into.

There is one instance of German that made me flinch, but otherwise the story is free of fangirlish language gaffes.

It's one of these stories that make for a really good fandom introduction, and shows just what nice things you can do with slightly damaged assassins with optional paranormal talents. The only drawback to it is that you might imprint on Schuldig/Youji as your OTP. *g*

Something Me In You


If you like this pairing, [livejournal.com profile] penelope_z has written a wonderful Schuldig/Youji essay for [livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto, which includes links to other Schuldig/Youji stories.

09:37 pm Case Study & Normalcy by Oro (PG13)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairings: Dan/Jeremy, Jeremy/Natalie.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] warlordkittens
Author Websites: http://oro.incipience.net/ (art & fiction), http://www.fanfiction.net/u/72562/ (fanfiction).
Why these must be read:

Okay, so they're totally separate stories and I get that, I really do, but the first time I read them I thought they were sequential. They are eternally linked in my mind, and so shall they be in yours, dammit. Both woefully short (shame, Or!). But juicy. Yes, juicy like the gum which is also fruity.

"Case Study": Wherein Jeremy and Dan have a past and it is guh-lorious. I love Casey's obliviousness and Dan's utter panic. Primarily Dan's pov.

excerpt. )

"Normalcy": Wherein Jeremy is a dirty, dirty adulterer. And he's got this blank lack of guilt or even thought that I find really interesting (some might find it out of character) and, well. What boy isn't his father's son? The last paragraph hits like a drabbleriffic sucker punch. Jeremy's pov.

excerpt. )

Without further ado: Case Study and Normalcy.

ps: Feedback. It's easy on ff.n, there's a review tool my puppy could use.

09:40 pm First Contact by Ruth Devero (NC-17)
Hi, I'm VoyCaPtive and I'll be reccing StarTrek Voyager this month. My favourite pairing is Chakotay/Paris; however, I've read some other stuff too that I'll share. I hope you's enjoy. :-)

Fandom: STARTREK VOYAGER
Pairing: Chakotay/Paris
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Ruth Devero's Adventures in the Slash Dimension
Why this must be read: When Tom Paris wakes up on some planet and finds his commanding officer has disappeared he knows this is going to be the first contact from hell. Tom finally finds Chakotay as he is about to be sold as a slave. Tom must think fast in order to rescue Chakotay. This is a well written story with excellent characterizations of both Tom and Chakotay.

First Contact


Please don't forget to send Ruth Devero feedback.

11:27 pm The Toronto Series by Tangerine (NC-17)
Fandom: X-MEN COMICVERSE
Pairing: Warren/Jean-Paul (Angel/NorthStar)
Author on LJ: not that I'm aware of
Author Website: Tangerine's Dream
Why this must be read: I admit that my education in the ways of NorthStar came a bit backward. I never collected Alpha Flight and I never really read it much either. I was first introduced to him (in anyway other than the basic comics knowledge that he was the gay member of Alpha Flight) through fanfic. I truly believe it's this series that really gave me a look inside of his mind.

It's vital, It's necessary, you NEED this fic! )

Toronto
The Edge
Inside Out

there's also a lighter companion piece to these, Caribbean Blue
