Fandom: THE OC
Pairing: Ryan/Summer
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] estrella30
Author Website: Estrella’s DS Fanfiction
Why this must be read: I’m a die hard slasher, but when het fic is this good even I can’t resist. The reason why I reread this fic so often can be summed up in two words: sex and poker. Who knew poker was so sexy? Now go and read this now, because you’ll regret it if you don’t.

01:07 am Duel, by Trekker (NC-17)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Methos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] trkkr47
Author Website: Unexpected Places

Why this must be read: Sex and swordfighting are staples of Highlander smut, and rightly so. This little pwp takes that down to the most visceral level in a way that is hot and sensual (in the truest sense of the word). It's a fic where you can really feel the action and the passion.

08:03 am Command Styles by monkee (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: monkee's place
Why this must be read:

The concept is irresistible: the evolving relationship between the captain and her first officer as played out against the backdrop of Janeway's various hair styles. In the hands of a less capable author this would quickly devolve to parody ( or worse), but with monkee at the helm, it works beautifully as a sweet and tender love story. If you love J/C, Janeway, her hair or any or all of the above, this fic is not to be missed.

02:29 pm Mardi Gras by abundantlyqueer (NC-17)
Fandom: LotRiPS
Pairing: Elijah/Orlando, Elijah/Viggo, Dom/Elijah, Dom/Ian, Viggo/Liv (I think that about covers it...)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] abundantlyqueer
Author Website: Fic Index
Why this must be read:

Moving away from the Vigorli (just for a second-- I'll be back, I promise), I present the first of two New Orleans-centric stories. In the Mardi Gras-AUverse, Stewart Townsend played Aragorn, Tobey Maguire played Frodo and Elijah's a prostitute (hee!). While Orli's in New Orleans on a press tour, he and Elijah have a brief encounter; however, once isn't enough for our young Mr. Wood, so he turns to his friend Viggo, a voodoo priest, for help. Mix in Dom, Cate, Liv, Sir Ian and a New Orleans that is so rich and ever-present that it becomes an actual character, and you get one cracked-out, jaw-dropper of a story.

"Can never bring myself to cover up this face," Viggo says, sliding his long hard fingers around Elijah's velvety soft cheek and thumbing the corner of Elijah's mouth.

"Fuck, dude, you smell like a goat," Elijah says.

Viggo laughs rustily.

07:56 pm Winter Queen by Julia (PG)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Laura/Lee
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] k_julia
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:

I just finished reading this and had to rec it. This post-KLG2 fic has wonderful characterisation all around. It gives and excellent canon take on what would happen if certain events remained the same at the end of season one. The Laura/Lee relationship is subtle, based on the mutual admiration and respect shown on the series.

10:15 pm What if? by Alinewrites (NC-17)
Fandom: OZ
Pairing: Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alinewrites
Author Website: Aline's Oz Fiction
Why this must be read:

I'm going to stick with [livejournal.com profile] alinewrites for another rec because, well, you just can't go wrong with Aline. Frankly, deciding which story to pick is the hard part. I could spend the rest of the month working my way through her Web page, rec'ing each fic. But I'll make a tough choice (and leave the rest for you to check out).

This one's fairly short (but certainly not sweet). I like the premise of it (I have a similar universe in mind for my next rec) and the heat of it. For example:

"C'mon," he says, his lips fluttering over the guy's mouth, not quite a kiss, not quite a caress, his hands still on the man's arms, their breaths melting, their eyes locked; the other's drunk enough to dare, and Chris finally makes the move, cautious not to frighten but too aroused to resist any longer, trapping the man between the wall and his body, his hands coming to shaking shoulders, stilling them."


What more? What if?
