01:13 pm 12 Hours in Tobias Beecher's Life by Aline (NC-17)
Fandom: OZ
Pairing: Beecher/ Keller
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alinewrites
Author Website: Aline's Fanfic
Why this must be read:

Oh, what a wild fandom this is! We got hot nekkid men, we got rape, torture and bad, bad boys, we got sex, drugs and violence, and hot man on man action - and that's just the show! Which means that the fandom as a whole, handles confrontational and controversial writing as part of the synergy. This is why we're here.

So, this sort of story is not uncommon in Oz fandom. It pushes boundaries, unsettles the reader, and blurs the line between lust, desire and violence. It's also my christmas present for last year's [livejournal.com profile] oz_magi - and a very merry christmas it was too!

This is an AU (which are prevalent in Oz fandom -there's only so much you can do in prison, after all) but Keller is still mean and nasty and dirty and Toby is still conflicted. [livejournal.com profile] alinewrites uses a clever narrative style mixing memory with the story as told to an investigating cop. No punches are pulled on the hot and wrong sex and no apology is given. The effect is brutal and disturbing. Worth every uncomfortable minute.

01:34 pm Burning Buildings, Burning Bridges by Caz Q (PG)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/ Donna
Author on LJ: Not that I know of - anyone?
Author Website: cazq.freeservers.com. This is possibly an old site she know longer uses. Can someone advise me if this is the case? Ta.
Why this must be read:

So I'm hoping to cover as many as TWW pairings as I can doing these recs, and I remembered this one from way, way back and I couldn't believe it hadn't been recced yet. I mean, it's such a pretty Josh/ Donna fic, and you really ought to have read it. Even if you're not into the pairing. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It means I get the pleasure of reccing it! Yay me!

This is one of those stories that's a sheer pleaure to read (and in *stark* contrast to my last rec - how we change...). Lots of clever dialogue, a little Josh neurosis and the fandom's most endearing kiss. This is what you love about the show.

Here's a wee snippet because it's just too cute:

Why this must be read:

Chiana and John's relationship has always existed in the gray, and Rainer does a wonderful job here of juxstaposing what Chiana received from John as a boy, and what she's denied by John as a man.

03:32 pm Pigs Might Fly by Crone (R)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: N/K
Author Website: N/K
Why this must be read:

I normally prefer stories with serious amounts of grit and pain. But occasionally I’m in the mood for something a bit less grim. Right about now, in fact.

This is a wonderful, sweet story, beautifully written. Not at all cloyingly sweet, more like one of the best lemon meringue pies you ever had, with just the right balance of tartness and sugar.

Did I mention food? This one’s quite a treat for the epicures amongst us.

05:16 pm Wild Horses by halfdutch (NC-17)
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] halfdutch
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:


Future!fic is a genre that has grown on me like moss on a stone wall. It's almost addicting to start hashing out the various ways and means the survivors could be rescued and returned to civilization. But sometimes, the best future!fics focus on the brief moments of adjustment and awkwardness that come from being apart from your environment for so long. Here, the scene is simple: Jack and Sawyer avoid reality by getting trashed together at a bar. Simple, but the atmosphere and the wonderful dialogue (not to mention the angsty, complex hotness that is Jack/Sawyer sex) make it so much more.

05:34 pm You and Me Were Never Meant to Be Part of the Future by Danahid [G]
Hi, I'm Pen, and I'll be driving the BSG van for July. And because it's already the ninth, I'm going to be speeding for the next six days in the lead up to the new season premiere (July 15th).

For the next week, every rec will be a post Kobol's Last Gleaming fic, as authors speculate on what happens next.

Fandom: BattleStar Galactica 2003
Pairing: gen
Author: [livejournal.com profile] danahid
Author's Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

This is worst case scenario speculation. Well written, brilliant characterisation of Apollo and Cat, and absolutely heart-breaking in its bleakness. In the grand way that BSG fic often is, this one kicks you whilst you're down, and reminds you that everything sucks.

06:24 pm The Problem by Sheila (NC-17)
I'm baaaaaaaack. You missed me, I know it. For a weekend treat, I give you sex. Well, the boys give you sex. There is sex to be had!

Fandom: STARSKY/HUTCH

Pairing: Starsky/Hutch

Why this must be read: Sex games are fun. Making your partner come without even having to touch him is very much better. That's what we have here. Hutch has developed a very intricate plan to make his point. They have been having a screwbuddies relationship since the Gunther attack, but Hutch wants more and he's gotta convince Starsky that the only one to make him hot and bothered is sitting right next to him. This takes place in Hutch's loaner car (because there's no way Starsky's gonna mess up his own seats;) A little misplaced grease, a forced disrobing, a little prodding, and we're well on our way to seeing Mt. Starsky erupt in a good way. Starsky's got a hard-on that would kill a normal man and Hutch just wants to help a buddy out, but he does it with his words, not with his hands. Hutch talks him through the most erotic self-pleasuring session ever.

"Go on, Starsk. It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"But this . . . this is . . . different!"

Hutch inclined his head, then nodded it once, all playfulness erased from his voice. "Yes. It is."

The dark eyes widened further as Hutch's words sank in.

Then his impossibly brave and perpetually impulsive partner took a deep breath . . . and quite deliberately unbuttoned the first barrier of his jeans.

Hutch released the breath he didn't realize he'd been holding, feeling the weight of the world lifting from his shoulders . . . like he could suddenly raise his arms and fly.

Starsky toed off his sneakers, then very carefully unzipped the fly of his jeans, glancing over quickly as if to make sure his partner was still watching.

Hutch smiled. "Go on, Starsk. You're doing fine."

06:43 pm Nocturne by Terri Beckett (PG13)
This is a more domestic encounter. I like domestic SH.

Fandom: STARSKY/HUTCH

Pairing: Starsky/Hutch

Why this must be read: They just finished having sex. Hutch wants to sleep, Starsky wants to talk. And with Starsky, it's always gotta be a deep conversation at two in the morning.

"What if." Starsky sounded almost sheepish. Almost.

"Oh, God, not that again! What is it this time? If you hadn't flunked out of grade school you could be a brain surgeon?"

But Starsky did not rise to the bait. "What if this had never happened."

"If what hadn't happened?" Hutch floundered. He hated these conversations. Even more he hated these conversations in the middle of the night when he'd just enjoyed a couple of hours of extremely good sex with the man he (mostly) loved to distraction and they both had to get up for work in the morning.


It's a typical glimpse into the lives of two Bay City detectives whose greatest question has always been "what if?"

08:33 pm Gifts of Life by Fileg (G)
Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: Gimli, Meriadoc (Merry)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fileg
Author Website: Gryphonsmith
Why this must be read: This is one of those stories that just rings true when you read it. The characterization fits the races of both characters so well (hobbits and dwarves) that you keep reading just to see where the author can take it. In brief, both characters have created wedding presents for Aragorn and Arwen's upcoming nuptials. The gifts they make are indicative of their cultures, but it is the clever writing and intricate weaving of backstory with current details that makes this a winner.

What does one do for eleven hundred years? Can you maim and kill and eviscerate the whole time? Not really, but you can try. A little longer than my other recs, but not an epic.
