Fandom: Lost
Pairing: Charlie/Claire

Why this must be read:

I will be the first to admit that I'm a wee bit scared of Charlie/Claire. They're like a big jar of jelly beans, all pretty, and colorful, and yummy, but there is always that feeling in the back of your mind that the sweetness of it all is going to give you an upset stomach and you'll regret it later.

This, however, is Charlie and Claire with a real nice edge to it, and incredibly hot too. I love the the banter and chemistery between them. I also adore the humor and the little details that give us a glimpse of what is going on with the other characters. This is an entirely believable and did I mention incredibly hot glimpse at a possible future for the two of them. Bonus points for Charlie's idea for an all island activity and for what Sawyer's contribution would be.

02:01 am Quid Pro Quo by Foxxcub (NC-17)
I guess I'm apologizing for my lack of recs with porn.

Fandom: Lost
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer/Kate

Why this must be read:

If my wariness of Charlie/Claire comes from the fact that they remind me jellybeans than my wariness of Jack/Sawyer/Kate dynamic comes from the fact that they remind me bit unbaked cookie dough. *pause for people to either get reference or think I'm insane, or both* Love triangles can be exhausting and I'm always wary of investing myself in them because I usually just end up wanting to smack everyone involved.

This fic, however, makes everything better. First, because good porn makes everything better, and this is fabulous porn. And second, because underneath the incredible hotness is a real understanding of what makes these characters tick. Because at its core, the relationship between Sawyer, Jack, and Kate is a just a huge pissing contest, and this fic gets the back and forth, the struggle for power and control, perfectly. It's not pretty. It's not about sweet, tender moments. It's about sex. And that's a very good thing.

11:11 am Later, gators
Just a quick note to let you all know that [livejournal.com profile] crack_van will be on hiatus in April. The van is running strong, but Phil and I are feeling a little bleary-eyed, and are ready for a pit stop. There are over 4,000 recs saved in memories to keep you occupied, and we'll see you in May!

11:12 am Sin by Reetchick (NC-17)
Fandom: OZ
Pairing: Beecher/Keller

Why this must be read:
Unfortunately for Oz fans, this seems to be Reet's sole foray into our little fandom. The consolation is, it's a smokin' hottie.

Sin is one of a special breed of story I've come to think of as a PWP+, because yeah, it'll warm up the room, but it's a thoughtful character piece as well. Set "in some vague and unspecified time between the end of S3 and beginning of S4", Keller thinks about the time -- or lack of it -- that he gets to spend with Beecher:

Ten more minutes before ten o'clock. Ten minutes to look, and only look. Chris leaned back against the glass, eyes moving hungrily up and down Toby's body, waiting none-too-patiently for the familiar harsh clank of the lights shutting off for the night. That was their time, Chris thought - or at least the closest thing to their time as they were ever likely to have.

Funny thing, time. In a whole lot of ways, there was way too much of it, at least during the day.

Fandom: ALIAS
Pairing: Jack/Nadia

Why this must be read: It's hot. It's sexy. It combines Jack’s obsession with Irina and those closest to her in a very stunning, electric way.

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: UK

Why this must be read:
This is a post-series 2 Nathan POV piece. It's just a short scene, but I enjoyed it.

08:27 pm Three QaFUK Fics by Lise (R)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: UK
Pairing: Stuart/Vince
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lisew
Author Website: fic by lise

Why this must be read:
I'm not absolutely sure these three snapshots of Stuart go together as a series, but the characterization of Stuart seems consistent enough. Lise's Stuart is pleasure-driven and harsh with himself and others. I don't see him quite this joyless, but I remember being struck by Lise's stories when I first read them, so I'll include them in the month's recs.
