12:26 am Buyers, Funds And Irony by Willa Shakespeare (Blake's 7/Farscape, PG-13)
Title: Buyers, Funds And Irony by Willa Shakespeare
Pairing: N/A, and one I won't give away as it is a surprise twist

Here we are... sorry this is a bit late. I present the *ultimate* Blake's 7/Farscape crossover. Really, I don't understand why there aren't more B7/FS crossovers about:). Willa takes the Liars, Guns And Money trilogy from Farscape and gives it a B7 twist--these two universes slot together like a dream. This is more or less gen with a few adult bits in between (no smut and any slash in here needs squinting if you want to see it), nothing rougher than your average ep of either series. And just as enjoyable and full of snark and wicked glee. Go ahead and read it, it's a good long tale to savour and giggle over. And do leave Willa feedback, it's not as if she can get away with writing just *one* crossover...

Title: Ramus
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay

Author Website: not that I could see
Why this must be read:

I love a good plotty mystery...and if it's an alternate universe so much the better. Telling you too much about this one would spoil half the fun and believe me, it's worth it to get a chance to see Rodney and John in somebody else's skin...

Vidder on LJ:
Vidder's website:
Why this vid kicks ass:


Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:

1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.

or…

2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.

or…

3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).


Do not:
Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage.
Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web.
Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.

Thank you!

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] shaggirl is away until the end of next week, so please direct all your questions/concerns to me and I will do my best to address them. Thanks!

03:36 pm Fathers and Daughters, by David Hines (Gen)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hradzka
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/524676/
Why this must be read: Well, aside from it being awesome gen with great characterization, style, whatever (it's just obscenely well-written), the topic is interesting. Crappy Dad is a recurring theme for angsty heroes or tormented villains. And if the Dad ain't crappy, more often than not, he's either out of the loop or dead as a doornail. In most fandoms, supportive dads are a rare breed indeed.

And yet, there's this one dad in the DCU, who's not only awesome, but very much around and in the thick of things, and all kinds of cool.

"Who is he talking about?" you wonder. Well, click and read. =)

03:43 pm Call Me Sweetheart by Keelywolfe (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: [personal profile] keelywolfe
Author Website: http://www.ravenswing.com/~keelywolfe/

Why this must be read:
I meant to recommend this story as a companion to “Dirty Laundry” and forgot. So before my turn driving the van is up, I want to post this recommendation. And thanks to everyone who put up with me this month as I learned to write reviews.

"Call Me Sweetheart" is another short, hot fic, but this time instead of Illya being in charge, Napoleon is. Although the story starts with Illya thinking he's in control, Solo manages to turn the tables on his partner. There is a humorous tone to the tale which nicely balances out the intensity of the sex.

I love Keelywolfe’s writing style. She skillfully mixes short snappy sentences with longer descriptive ones. As a result, she not only conveys the characters' words, but she gives the reader a clear picture of their emotions and feelings. Here’s a sample sentence:
Illya had to close his eyes against that, biting his lip because yes, oh, yes, Hell, yes, he wanted that, wanted bare flesh and the soap-soft touch of skin against his own, but this was not wise, this would have consequences, terrible ones.

03:54 pm Puppy Love, by Brenda Antrim (Adult)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Green Lantern / Flash
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brenantrim
Author Website: http://www.bantrim.net/
Why this must be read: I haven't recced anything heavily toonverse, so I figured I'd do so now. One of the wonderful things about this fandom is figuring out how all the crazy superpowers would apply to sexual performance; Cassie's lasso was bad enough, now you get to read about Wally's problem. =)

We love our vibrating speedsters, yes, we do!

04:15 pm Harmonic Tremor, by Te (18+)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Grace Choi / Anissa Pierce
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thete1
Author Website: Teland
Why this must be read: Well, this is Te, so I guess anyone who has been in this comm for a while probably needs little more to click the link. =) Nevertheless, let me expand:

I love this story more specifically because DC-verse isn't just full of gorgeous dangerous boys who look pretty wearing skintight outfits showing a lot of skin, it's also full of gorgeous dangerous chicks who look pretty wearing skintight outfits showing a lot of skin, and just like the boys, in some fics, they get to have hot gay sex too! Isn't it awesome? Fair reccing demands that the boys and girls who like girls here at [livejournal.com profile] crack_van get their candy too.

The two hot chicks in this fic are from the Outsiders. Anissa is a "legacy" superhero, her dad was Black Lightning and she's hoping to live up to his legend. Grace is ... well ... she's pretty much that girl that any mother prays her offspring will never bring home. Both of them are smoking hot, and as a gay guy, I have to confess that this little piece of femslash turned me on a bit. Need I say more?

08:50 pm Kissing Games by eponine119 (R-ish)
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] eponine119
Author Website: A Concern for Dark Corners
Why this must be read:

I'm slightly obsessed with Jack/Sawyer first-kiss fics, which is exactly what this is, and I love it to death. Everything's just so spot-on here, you can almost squint and see canon.

Like most men, Jack always saw kissing as a means to an end. He wasn't a mercenary, but the point was to get the girl to go to bed with you. But that wasn't what this was about. He and Sawyer weren't going farther than this. Sawyer was drunk, and they were playing a game.

09:05 pm The Devil Only Smiles by desire_of_mind (R)
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Jack/Kate/Sawyer
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] desire_of_mind
Author Website: none
Why this must be read:

Not only one of the most realistic depictions of where the infamous triangle could end up, but also a damn fine sketch of Kate at her most manipulative, darkest self. She gives you chills here, and what's so great is that it's all from Sawyer's POV; he knows the score, yet still surges ahead. Fabulous, fabulous stuff--everyone needs some dark!Kate now and then.

And Kate, smart Kate, would only be the devil straddling the Doc’s shoulder, whispering words of war in his ear. She’s too intelligent for the Doc; she knows when to press and to pull to her advantage, how to play people like they’re tin soldiers she can line up to do battle for her. In her, Sawyer recognizes something that he’s seen in others: the inability to be truly happy unless fucking with someone’s head.
