12:45 am Girl by Viridian5 and Panthea (NC-17)
Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Pairing: variations of Aya/Youji/Schuldig. variations of m/m, m/f and f/f.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] viridian5, [livejournal.com profile] mayatawi
Author Website: The Green Room, Zippos and Safety Pins

Why this must be read:

Aya’s changing....

Or, to give you a better hint what the story is about:

Yoji rushed in. "What’s wrong? Are you hurt holy God you’ve got tits."

In the wrong hands, this plot could be cringe-worthily bad. Viridian5 manages to make it work, and work incredibly well. It's a story that was meant to be a short comic piece, and instead turned into a long and fascinating story of Aya trying to deal with his body repeatedly switching genders (not to mention his hormones), Youji having to deal with the fact that he still wants Aya's body even when Aya is male, and Schuldig - well, Schuldig is really just having fun.

It's a long read, it's funny *and* hot, so go and read it right now!

Besides, how many stories can you find where the same character gets to be in m/m, m/f *and* f/f sex scenes?

Girl

***

Viridian5 generally writes kick-ass stories, but my all-time favorite WK story by her is unrec'able here - it's still unfinished. It's up to 137 parts now, all available in the memories of her LJ (once LJ manages to fix the memories, that is). It starts at the end of the anime series, but goes AU after that, and manages to bridge the time between the anime and Glühen - and then incorporates Glühen and fixes it! Author summary: After Aya's sister dies, Schwarz tries to save themselves and Aya from the mistakes of the Dramatic CDs and Glühen Schwarz tries to save him from himself--for their own reasons, of course--and neither they nor Weiß are ever the same again.

12:47 am X-Men Movieverse/Buffy the Vampire Slayer (NC-17)
Title: Showtime by Te
Pairing: Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler)/Ethan Rayne
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] thete1
Author Website:Teland
Why this must be read: First of all, it's something written by [livejournal.com profile] thete1. Second, it's [livejournal.com profile] thete1 writing Ethan Rayne. Thirdly, it's Ethan, and Kurt, at the *circus*.

01:04 am Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Harry Potter (PG-13)
Title: A Drop in the Ocean by Echo
Pairing: Willow/Severus
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] spankerella
Author Website: http://www.angelfire.com/punk3/txcookie/echo/Orx.html
Why this must be read: Man oh man, this is the story that got me into Harry Potter fanfic. It is a crossover fic featuring Willow and Tara at Hogwarts. Spoilers for season 6 through 'Normal Again' in the Buffyverse and through 'Goblet of Fire' in the Potterverse. Romantic, funny and kind of crazy

03:59 am Who Will Not See by Sleeps With Coyotes (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE
Pairing: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ciceqi
Author Webpage: Blood, Love & Rhetoric
Why this must be read:

Qui-Gon Jinn's apprentice is growing into a breathtakingly beautiful and remarkable young man, and there is no shortage of people of all genders, species and social strata who would give the world to gain his affections. So why does he turn them all down? Qui-Gon doesn't seem able to come up with a satisfactory answer.

A lovely story about not seeing what is right in front of you, and about the joy that can come when the scales fall from your eyes, Who Will Not See will make your heart ache in all the best ways and leave you with a smile.

08:42 am Highlander/Sharpe (TV version) (NC-17)
Title: Lovers Keep Secrets (Chosen Men series), by Hellblazer
Pairing: Methos/Sharpe
Author on LJ: no idea
Author Website: ninemuses
Why this must be read:
Oh, come on -- it's Sharpe! It's Methos! Bark*bark*bark! The goodness is gravy.

This was my very first: first fanfic, first slash, and first Methos story, which I stumbled on completely by chance. Amazingly, it was sexy and engaging and sucked me down the rabbit hole leaving just my socks behind.

"Lovers Keep Secrets" is the short introductory story to the author's Chosen Men series, in which Sharpe is an Immortal (oh, perfect, perfect)with Issues and Methos is his old buddy from the wars. It's a bit buggy. As the series develops, this particular take on Methos, MacLeod, and Sharpe might not be to everyone's taste -- but you've got to give at least the first couple a shot.


here's a little taste )

Lovers Keep Secrets


ETA: Came across the author's website. I still don't know if she's on LJ.

09:25 am The West Wing/The X Files (G)
Title: Dead Tape by Marguerite.
Pairing: Ensemble (WW)/Mulder & Scully (XF)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] megwriting
Author Website: Grey Area
Why this must be read:

Frankly, this is my favourite West Wing Crossover *Evah*, it very rarely sees the light of day, and that's a crying shame considering it's from one of *the* best writers in the WW fic genre. Plus, as I'm also a pretty rabid X Files Fan, it answers one of my many unanswered questions after 'Two Words'. In my mind, Mulder and Scully should exist in the same universe where Bartlet is president...

09:40 am Fit to be Tied by Graculus (PG13 to R)
Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon
Author on LJ: Graculus
Author Website: http://www.btinternet.com/~graculus/contents.html
Why this must be read: It is a first time, and just plain fun. The character voices are well done. Graculus knows her boys.

09:59 am Blake's 7/Deep Space 9 (PG)
Title: "Wholesale" by Altariel
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] altariel1
Author Website: Great concept, but would it fly?
Why this must be read:

I've always thought that Elim Garak -- the sneaky, manipulative, frighteningly intelligent and bizarrely charming Cardassian tailor/spy of Deep Space 9 -- feels very much like a Blake's 7 character who somehow wandered into the Star Trek universe by mistake. It turns out, not really to my surprise, that he in fact makes a better B7 character than the actual B7 characters. [livejournal.com profile] altariel1 is incredibly good at writing Garak, and this story gives us an interesting professional's perspective on Our Protagonists' amateur revolutionary tactics, culminating in a wickedly brilliant AU twist.

My absolute favorite bit, though, is this:
'Well,' he said, crisply back to business, 'We've got Orac - that's our computer - trying to work out what brought you here.'

'Some sort of temporal or spatial anomaly?' I hazarded.

Blake frowned. 'Doesn't sound very likely,' he said.

'Where I come from,' I replied, 'It happens all the time.'

11:57 am Alias/Angel/Pop (R)
Title/Author: Unmerciful by Voleuse
Pairings: Lauren/Sark, Lauren/Lilah, Lauren/JC
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] voleuse
Author's Website: Most things can be found at [livejournal.com profile] moodfic
Why this must be read:

Voleuse always gives good fic and this is no exception. Not many people could write a crossover like this and make me believe it, but voleuse has done just that. With a deft hand, she moves Lauren through a series of fascinating situations with a couple of surprise guest stars that just made me smile, all the while staying true to Lauren's voice. And of course, there's some hot sex involved too. ;)

01:53 pm The Man from U.N.C.L.E./Mission Impossible (G)
Title: The Daniel in the Lion's Den Affair by gm
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://www.solosojourn.com/
Why this must be read: Wonderful nostalgia. I wish I had been active in fan fiction back then. This fic shows how wonderful these two shows are for crossovers. I'm just starting to read gm's fic, but she has some great crossovers. It is a team fic and well representative of the characters.

02:40 pm The Puppy Love Affair by Bev W. (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://file40.net/file40s.html
Why this must be read: This fic puts a coming of age situation into the life of Illya and Napoleon's existing loving relationship. It is more Illya centered, but Napoleon is there too. I love how this depicts Illya. His sensitivity, his patience, and, of course, his extreme hotness. There is great sex, laughs, and bonding. I'll recc something with more action tomorrow, but you really should read this fic for the hotness and the warm fuzzy.

06:46 pm Farscape/Stargate SG-1 (PG-13)
Title: Fake Plastic Trees by Sorlk Lewis
Pairing: John Crichton/Sam Carter. sort of.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sorlklewis
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

Well, I'm yet another of those reccers still tilling the rich soil of Multiverse 2004 for my crossover recs, but this is a story that fits the drab, stressful, February mood so many people are in. This is the story of Sam Carter and John Crichton after the world ends. I think of this as primarily a Farscape story set in Stargate's universe, where the Gou'ald have destroyed everything and John Crichton just can't quite give up the idea that this version of Earth can't possibly be his home. There's a sort of resigned longing in the lines of this story, and full of details you'd never think about finding amidst an apocalypse.

As Crichton licks chocolate from his fingers, he thinks about his module hidden in a barn in Maine. One of the thrusters and all of the nav circuits had blown, and several of the organic modifications burned up in the wormhole that dumped him here just in time to watch most of humanity snuff it. It's funny how that worked out, really. The irony is not lost on him.

06:58 pm Small favors by Ingrid (G)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Lex and Clark if you look hard enough
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] ingrid_m
Author Website: Ingrid's small favors
Why this must be read:

It pushes many of my buttons. One being Lex and a baby : )

Sweet, interesting and leaves you wanting more. It' fluff, high calories fluff. Who can pass up exquisite french pastries without the calories ? I can't. ; )

I love this universe with all the frills and sweetness it gives.

I guess a sweetness warning would be warranted.

07:07 pm Oz/Lord of the Rings (PG)
Most xovers with Oz have tended to be with Law & Order: SVU, but thanks to a new challenge the xover net is starting to be spread a squidge wider, and gives me the opportunity to rec this fic--

Title: In the Darkness by Kitestringer
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: kitestringer
Author web site: Actizera's Fic

Why this must be read: Because it's strange and eerie and wonderfully unique. The author captures the two Ozzies here impeccably, their dialogue rings so true to an episode it's uncanny. The other presence in the fic is drawn just as sharply, just as vividly, permeating the story with its will.

07:16 pm Sports Night/Smallville (R)
Title: TENTH INNING
Pairing: Jeremy/Clark Kent
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] julianlee
Author Website: http://geocities.com/thwarted1066/index.html
Why this must be read:

Dude. It's Jeremy/Clark.

Also, it's funny, and more than a little surreal. I mean, Jeremy. In Smallville. Covering a meteor-mutant pitcher. Clark is delightfully hustler-esque, and the tertiary characters are right on the money (including Lex, who is difficult to write, lemme tell ya).

smallville excerpt. )

sports night excerpt. language. )

As stated in the first excerpt, Clark is jailbait. No explicit sex, but it is referenced as a morning-after kind of thing. Caveat lector.

Tenth Inning. I don't really do baseball, but I think that's overtime?

ps: There's a sequel, "Home Field Disadvantage," wherein Clark And Chloe Go To New York (When Clark Is Fully Of Age). To be found on Julian's site, of course.

09:12 pm The Sentinel/CSI (Rated R)
Title: Fragile Magic by Deborah Wright
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dbw
Author Website: A Feast for the Senses

Why this must be read:

At first glance, The Sentinel and CSI wouldn't seem to have much in common. But look a little more closely, and a crossover between the two shows makes perfect sense. After all, in the very first episode of The Sentinel, Blair calls Jim a "human crime lab with organic surveillance equipment," and that makes for some interesting parallels between Jim's senses and the CSI team's technology.

The two shows collide when Blair goes missing after a visit with Naomi, and Jim goes looking for his partner where the trail leads him: Las Vegas.

If you like intriguing, novel-length case stories, you'll love Fragile Magic. Carve out a nice big chunk of time for this one - you might find it hard to stop reading once you start.
