Welcome to May's Stargate Atlantis reccs by wyoluvr. Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS Pairing: Miko; Other Female Character. Author on LJ: brighidestoneAuthor Website: None that I know of.Why this must be read:Stargate Atlantis has proven to be rich with potential for fic about secondary characters. Miko is a scientist under Rodney McKay's leadership (poor gal) and she doesn't get a lot of development on the show. But Brighid has a special ability to bring out a depth with her stories and this little ficlet gives us a whole complex world for Miko, complete with love and cranes. Errs on the side of femslash, but barely. The Crane Wife | | |

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US Pairing: Brian/Justin Author on LJ: burnitbackwardsAuthor Website: N/A Why this must be read:Not only is this one of the hottest fics written in the QAF:US fandom to date, but it also deals with one of the most controversial topics.

Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: Duncan/Methos Author on LJ: mmmchelleAuthor Website: chelle's NightstandWhy this must be read: A wonderful take on a New Year's Eve 'what if they kissed' story. chelle takes that premise and runs with it, turning the tired cliche into something sparkly and new with lots of hot sex thrown in. I love both Duncan and Methos in this story. They are both completely in character and acting like guys! Yes, guys having hot monkey sex with each other, but guys none the less. This story is one of my secret pleasures on a rainy day. The Morning After | | |

Hi all! I'm May's crack_van driver for Alias. I love all ships, so be prepared to see a wide variety of recs this month. Hope you all enjoy! Fandom: ALIAS Pairing: Sydney/Sloane Author on LJ: autobadgirlAuthor Website: automatic badgirl's ficsWhy this must be read: If there's been one fic that has imprinted itself in my mind that I can't get rid of (no matter how much scrubbing I do), it's this fic. It's powerful, amazingly well written, highly erotic and very disturbing. Sydney/Sloane isn't a very popular pairing but if there were any reason for Sydney to turn to Sloane, this would be why.

Hello everyone. I've been enjoying the good candy from the Van for a while now without doing my time as a pusher, so this month I'll be reccing The OC. I'm looking forward to finding some new-to-me stories, as most of what I've read so far I found here. Fandom: THE OC Pairing: Seth/Zach, Seth/Summer, Seth/Ryan UST Author on LJ: amerellaAuthor Website: Her OC fic is memoried here. Why this must be read:There's just something about two guys being in love with the same girl that's, well, a little gay. Seth's not sure how gay he is here, but neither is anyone else, so it works out okay. The story gives him the room to discover himself (neatly in character, as is everyone in this story), without ever giving short shrift to the confusion of all the parties involved. And though the frame of this is Seth/Zach, the scenes with Summer are also really vivid, and the thudding, questioning connection between Ryan and Seth made me shiver. It's the kind of story that seems, even within all the canonical restraints of the show, entirely possible. ( Excerpt. )Unwritten | | |

Fandom: FARSCAPE Pairing: John/Aeryn Author on LJ: suelacAuthor Website:Alchemy, Mouldiwarps and CorprophagyWhy this must be read: I have a special attachment to this fic and thus am thrilled to get to rec it. Cofax writes beautiful, clean prose, rich stories filled with intricate plot and finely developed characters. She's sharp, smart, merciless and insightful and I'd follow her work anywhere. This piece is, not so much a departure from the norm for her, as it is an aperitif, a preparation for her other fic. This is not to say it isn't completely realized in of itself, because it is. It's a moment of luxury, of peace for two people who don't get much of said peace. It's sexy and lush and warm, makes you sweat just a little, and if you can finish reading it without a wistful, longing smile on your face, well, you've got less imagination and clearly more will power than I do. The atmosphere is spot on, buzzy and sultry and sexy. Yeah, I already said sexy, but it's a story that's foreplay for both the characters and the readers, and it becomes even more poignant when taken in context of the timeline, of who these characters are and what's in front of them.

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US Pairing: Brian/Justin Author on LJ: windtossedAuthor Website: N/A Why this must be read:I don't read deathfic, and if I do it's only to hate it. This story is different: it's touching, it's heartbreaking, it's beautiful. It's genuinely worth reading. ( Excerpt. )Entwined | | |
