08:40 am As Good Belongs to Me by Pearl-o and Jack (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lionel and Clark/Lex, with a hint of past Lex/Lionel
Authors on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pearl_o and [livejournal.com profile] buggery
Author Websites: but george you're a communist and The Jack's Memorable Entries (Not sure if there's another site besides LJ)

Why this must be read:
And here the wrongness begins...a post-"Red" AU with RedK!Clark deciding to satisfy some of his urges. Non-con/ambiguous consent warning.

I must admit that Clark plus red Kryptonite is a kink of mine (not sure what that says about me). Luckily, there's quite a bit of fanfic that uses this plot device. I like this particular scenario very much.

09:06 am VID REC: Due South - Superman
Vidder: Fel
Musical artist: Five For Fighting
Pairing: none
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] willows_mom
Vidder's website: Fel's Piece of Cyberspace
Why this vid kicks ass:

A vid about Fraser set to the song Superman by Five For Fighting seems obvious in retrospect and the vidder pulls it together as wonderfully as you would imagine. This is first and second season Fraser at his best and worst. I think she does a great job of merging the lyrics and both Fraser's vulnerability as well as his super hero efforts. She also follows the theme of flight through some of Fraser's wilder chasing-crooks ideas which nicely keeps the visuals fresh from beginning to end.

For pure fun enjoyment I liked the shots for the lyrics I may be disturbed when Fraser is blind in the woods and driving Vecchio crazy and for the lyrics I’m not crazy or anything with the camera on Dead!Bob for the or anything. The ending shot is probably my favorite though, because it is all about The Hat.

12:13 pm VID REC: Stargate: Atlantis - You've Got A Friend In Me
Vidder: Azar
Musical artist: Randy Newman
Pairing: has wink, wink nudge to Sheppard/McKay
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] azarsuerte
Vidder's website: Fantastic Visions
Why this vid kicks ass:

i normally don't rec vids because I tend to forget the last friday of the month and never have time to but this time, I lucked out and remembered in time. The tricky part this month was picking which one of [livejournal.com profile] azarsuerte's vids I wanted to Rec. Her Sheppard/Weir ones are the best out there and her humor/action vids kick mucho ass and inspire much fic but...

it all came down to one and I doubt she'll be surprised by the one I chose...she made it for me last Christmas as a surprise. It's the perfect Sheppard & McKay vid. Over all? It's pure friendship (of which I am a huge fan of theirs) but there is one little wink-wink moment that's just so very sly and I'll forever heart Joe Flanigan's facial expressions for it. But she matched up the words, the emotion and the effects so perfectly that this one'll make you laugh out loud, sigh wistfully and generally grin like an idiot the whole way through.

Fantastic Visions head for the Atlantis section, last vid down.

01:14 pm VID REC: BSG - Cold, Cold Water
Vidder: SDWolfpup
Musical artist: Mirah
Pairing: Kara/Lee
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup
Vidder's website: Wolfpup Serenade
Why this vid kicks assarse: The song choice for this song is perfect, the clips selected work really well, and [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup uses some really interesting cuts and merges and things to tell a really compelling story about Kara and Lee and the distance between them.

01:24 pm A Temporary Transfer of Authority by Claira [PG-13]
Fandom: BattleStar Galactica 2003
Pairing: Kara/Lee
Author: [livejournal.com profile] stars_like_dust
Author's Website: At The End of the World
Why this must be read:

I'll admit it. I have a promotion!kink. I like future fic, where the characters we know have been thrust into unfamiliar situations, and my favourite is when they've been promoted, which means they have to renegotiate old relationships.

Claira takes what we're given at the end of season one, and promotes Kara and demotes Lee, and shows us what they have to deal with. And it's great.

02:01 pm Breathe by Maud (no rating)
Fandom: THE O.C.
Pairing: None. Ryan-centric
Authors on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] maudgonne
Author Websites: none listed

Why this must be read:

This story is written in perfect and graceful prose - one of those types of stories that you love and hate because you didn't write it. Set after the finale of season two (so spoilers through season two), Ryan comes to terms with his feelings toward his brother and pays a visit to his mother.

I can't do this story enough justice in any sort of write up, so I shall live it to an excerpt:

In case there are those who haven't seen finale of season two yet... )

So go read Breathe, and leave feedback for the author!

05:31 pm Vision Thing by Te (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairings: Lex/Lionel; Lex/Bruce Wayne
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thete1
Author Website: Teland

Why this must be read:
I don't usually select two stories by the same author when I'm driving the Crack Van, but Te was one of the first SV writers I discovered circa season 1, and some of her stories are indelibly inked in my mind. I had to rec something that featured extremely fucked up!Lex, and this pre-Smallville trilogy is also representative of the incest stories in the fandom.
It's also got a very young cross-dressing Lex trying to deal with the loss of his mother, creepy-wrong Lionel, and the bonus of an utterly weird Bruce, even more messed up than Lex. How can I not love these stories?

06:22 pm VID REC: Smallville - "I Want Your Sex"
Vidder: Eisa
Musical artist: George Michael
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] eisakay
Vidder's website: The Channels: music videos by eisa

Why this vid kicks ass:
The SV fandom has some of the best vidders around, and there are so many SV vids out there to choose from. I didn't have much time to dwell on the choice, so I went with what I remembered: this one by Eisa has been a favorite for quite a while. This vid features all the best Clex eyefucks from early Smallville, interspersed with erotic clips from Queer As Folk. For pure eye candy alone, this vid by Eisa deserves to be watched by all SV fans, and as a pimping tool, it's perfect.

If you like the vid, don't forget to send feedback to the vidder: eisakay at livejournal.com

08:17 pm VID REC: Star Trek: Enterprise - Stacey's Mom
Vidder: MommyJ (aka credentials)
Musical artist: Fountains of Wayne
Pairing: Trip/T'Pol
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: unknown
Why this vid kicks ass: This is perhaps one of the funniest vids I've ever seen. An AU reworking of the episode Home (read: parody!), it puts a very different spin on T'Pol and Koss' marriage. Extremely clever and humourous.
