08:10 am Faint Hopes and Wishes by Polly Bywater (R)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] polly_b
Author Website: Slash Fiction by Polly Bywater
Why this must be read: Everyone who knows me, knows I'm a Clex girl ... but I've got a soft spot for Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne, particularly when they've got a history together. I like to believe they were boys together at Excelsior Prep getting up to no good. *G* This story has a lot going for it - a drunken Chloe and Lana who decide Lex and Clark should be together; a self-sacrificing Clark who's denying the relationship he wants with Lex because of noble (typically stupid Clarkish) reaons; old friend Bruce who's willing to interfere to get Clark to see reason because Lex is hurting; not to mention tons of angst, a close-call where superhero identities are revealed, and happy endings. Oh, but my favourite? A drunken Lex Luthor shouting insults at a Gotham street gang - in Latin.

08:53 am Contrition by Michele Masterson (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOY
Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: Michele Masterson's Stories
Why this must be read:

This is one of my all-time favorite J/C stories. Set early in the voyage and told from B'Elanna's POV, Janeway and the crew must deal with the aftermath of a transporter accident. The imagery and description are beautiful and moving, and the subtle character observations are spot-on. Even though J/C is the focus, the evolving friendship between Janeway and B'Elanna is wonderfully depicted as well. This story is a keeper; if you've never read it before, know that this is one you will keep coming back to time and again because it's just that good.

10:51 am Restraint by Tink (NC-17)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK US
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ragingpixie
Author's Website: No Domestic Shit
Pairing: Brian/Justin
Why this must be read:

The author's summary of this story is: Making bets is never in anyone's best interest.

Got your attention yet? When you're Brian and Justin, there's really only one thing any wager could possible have to do with - sex. Over a post-Babylon meal at the Diner, Emmett accuses Brian of being addicted to sex and when Justin agrees, an interesting challenge begins. Aside from having excellent character voices, the humor is sharp and wickedly funny. A great and despite the seeming lack of actual sex, very hot story.

03:08 pm Ogden Nash Blues by Anne Hedonia (NC-17)
Fandom: BUFFY
Pairing: Tara/Spike
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ahedonia
Author Website: HomePage
Why this must be read:

Well, the pairing kills me, for one. What, you’re not really into the Tara/Spike corner of fandom? Well, give it a try anyway: you might be surprised. After all, isn’t getting you to read something you wouldn’t normally read what makes a great author?

Summary: Spike has a gambling problem. It's not what you think.

03:09 pm Chasing Duncan by esjay (NC-17)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Methos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lastrega
Author Website: Sword’s Kiss
Why this must be read:

Everything esjay writes is gold. But I chose this particular story because it made me laugh until I had tears running down my eyes, and then it gave me goosebumps because of the smut.

It’s nice to have the tables turned for a change. Because the sex is OMGhawt. And because a flustered Methos is something you never pass on.

Duncan is gay. Methos notices.
