Project Mayhem Series by alfirin_kirinki (R)

Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: John Allerdyce/Bobby Drake (Pyro/Iceman)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alfirin_kirinki
Author Website: Stories are in LJ Memories

Why this must be read:
This five-part series is fairly short, but it packs a lot of character development in between the scenes of rising sexual tension.

In this darkish, kinda emo story, Bobby runs away to be with his friend and gets more than he expected. He also finds out some dark things about Pyro's past. Will these two triumph over adversity? Read and find out...

05:53 pm Domestic by Ralu (R)
Fandom: OZ
Pairing: Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Author Page on Unit B
Why this must be read:

This is great little piece of domestic angst - most stories about B/K as a family paint a harmonious picture with Chris getting along perfectly with Toby's kids (nothing wrong with that, they're very enjoyable). But this fic takes a more realistic view, in a universe where Keller retains his flaws, despite being 'domisticated'. Worth the read, just for the unique take on the usual 'kidfic', and of course Ralu's writing is tailor-made for angst whores everywhere.

07:03 pm Boom by Uberaeryn (NC-17)
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Jack/Sawyer, features appearances by all the best island people
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] uberaeryn
Author Website: Uberaeryn's LJ
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] uberaeryn was one of the first Lost writers I started reading, and she still blows me away with every single fic. She writes great angst, and great smut, but when she puts her funny hat on - watch out! This fic is a three-parter that explores the friendship of all the boys on the island with lots of humor, some hot sex, and a tad of angst thrown in. The characters are spot on. Everybody knows that Jack's, well, intense is an understatment. Sometimes all that intensity can be too much to take, and here's the result.

“Well, if you want somebody to hit him with a rock or somethin’ I’ll do it. He’s really startin’ to bug me,” Hurley muttered, eyes narrowed and mouth twisted as he glared at Jack’s back and Sawyer snorted in amusement. “If he yells at me about that damned manifest one more time . . .” )

07:47 pm Nothing Says Love Like..., by Pi [NC-17]
Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairing: Billy Boyd/Dominic Monaghan
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] app1e_pi
Author Website: Slices of Pi
Why this must be read:

This somehow manages to be both a first-time fic, and an established relationship fic. No, really. It does. Technically, it is the first time Billy and Dom sleep together, but they know each other so well, love each other so much, it's as if they've been doing this forever.

It also happens to be damn good porn.

08:36 pm Each Our Own Devil by Taliesin (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://users.frii.com/wanderer/fanfic/reach.html
Why this must be read: I usually don't care for this much angst, but this story definitely works for me. As the title implies, both men have their demons though neither is a thoughtless jerk, a situation I heartily dislike in a story. No matter what they may have done to one another, that they love each other is never in doubt...at least, not to the reader. Napoleon, especially, shines as he suffers for a wrong he can't seem to set right.

I think my only complaint is that the story ended too soon for me. Though the outcome is not in doubt, I would have loved another scene or two.

10:15 pm Give Sorrow Words by MissKittie (NC-17)
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio/Archie
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] misskittie79
Author Website: In Violation Of Article 29
Why this must be read:
Because I honestly can't believe it hasn't already been recc'd. I will neither confirm nor deny that a small victory dance was done upon discovering that I got to rec it.

In all seriousness, this is simply a gorgeous piece of writing, with lovely, subtle characterization. Horatio cuts himself to pieces, in that way that he has, and looks at Archie as the only good, solid thing in his world. And as they're written here, you absolutely believe that.

I spent half an hour trying to pick an excerpt from this story. Couldn't do it. Go read the whole thing (twice).

Pairing: Michael/Ben

Why this must be read:

Because this story disproves the old theory that married sex has to be boring.  Just a quick PWP to get you all hot and bothered before starting a Monday!
