Why this must be read: So, I am not historically a het person, not that I am against it, I just don't really get into it. And especially Grissom/Sara (dude, seriously...they have teased us with it for toooooo long).*hides her Warrick/Sara badge* A few months back, however, [livejournal.com profile] girlnorth pointed me towards this fic, and I must say that I could not be more pleased to have found it. It has a case in it and not only is it well thought out and really really intricate, it also has this weird thing of bringing you in to one part and then pulling you into the next, and I really found myself enjoying it.

It is set after Season 4, and with the way I am feeling about Season 5, it is nice to be brought to the time when life was sweeter, and simpler and... you know. Less messed.

03:22 pm "Something Pretty" by Kate Andrews (NC-17)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Kara/Lee
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] svilleficrecs
Author Website: Fictabulous
Why this must be read: The new incarnation of Battlestar Galactica is much more of an ensemble piece than the original, which opens wide new vistas to explore in terms of possible stories. However, some things haven't changed, and one of them is the incredible hotness that is Starbuck/Apollo, even though now it's a het pairing...

Title: Lists

Author Website: Riders on the Storm
Pairing: Ryan/Theresa, hints of Ryan/Seth
Why this must be read:

After the last years season finale cliffhanger there where lots of AU stories dealing with that. I think in the end this story did better of dealing with that than the show ended up doing. There is no neat phone call to bring him home.

This has Ryan staying in Chino and the story is told from the point of view of Theresa as she deals with being pregnant, disillusioned, and the reason that Ryan left his second chance. It starts off very softly and ends on a very hard note but all the way through the story there is hope.


Here are five things Theresa used to believe in:

1. God.

2. Mama and Arturo.

3. Herself, sometimes.

4. Everything will work out okay in the end.

5. Ryan.

She could laugh now when she thinks about it.

05:52 pm Queer as Folk: UK - An Overview
Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] butterfly for writing this overview. —[livejournal.com profile] vamplover84



Queer as Folk
Created and written by Russell T Davies
Produced by Red Production Company
Debuted in the UK on Feb. 23 1999, on Channel-4
Overview by [livejournal.com profile] butterfly

In the beginning, there were eight episodes. They weren't expecting Queer as Folk to be anything more than a minor cult show.

Then the series was a hit, far surpassing expectations. Because of this, a sequel was made and that second series, Queer as Folk 2, aired in Feb. 2000 with two episodes (the company wanted ten, but Russell decided on two). The show as a whole garnered quite a bit of attention, eventually spawning an American remake, also entitled Queer as Folk (crack_van overview for the US version).

Why You Should Watch This Show:
Far from being an excuse for gay porn, Queer as Folk is a finely drawn character drama that centers around two men, their friendship, and the boy who changes everything. The dialogue sparkles with wit and subtlety, and the key relationship between the two leads is unarticulated love at its finest.

And though the characters in the series are fictional, the environment isn't. Manchester really is the gay capital of the UK. Canal Street exists and was used for filming during the show. The clubs visited are real and the lifestyles are ones that the creator of QaF pulled from his own observations.

Everything past this point contains spoilers for all episodes )
