Fandom: ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO Pairing: Sands/El Mariachi Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) auburnnothennaAuthor Website: AllusionsWhy this must be read: A classic example of an El-Comes-Back-For-Sands story, and a wonderfully well written one, too. This is the most believable version of that setup that I've read, and the story goes on into a gripping plot and character driven tale. Auburn opens and closes with versions of the "legend" surrounding these two, which sets the tone nicely for the story in between.

Fandom: LOTRIPS Pairing: Orlando Bloom/Viggo Mortensen Author on LJ: thingsunseenAuthor Website: n/a Why this must be read:There is but one thing to say about this fic: sex in a hurricane. Wind and water and *guh*. OK, fine. There's sex in a hurricane, and there's lyricism, and there's so much love in this fic. There's a relationship here, and it matters. To the author, to the characters, and it will matter to you, too. The writing is -- easy, it just flows, and what is written rings true like very few stories do, and -- Fuck it. I repeat: sex in a hurricane.Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Feedback is sex in a hurricane in its own way -- it's just as good, at least. | | |

Fandom: ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO Pairing: Sands/El, brief Lorenzo/El Author on LJ: fangirl_lizzieAuthor Website:fanfiction.net profileWhy this must be read: Some stories defy summarizing. In this case, almost anything I could say is either spoiling or is putting my own interpretation on things the author meant to leave up to the reader. El visits Culiacan on the Day of the Dead. Yes, that much happens, for sure. Then he ... dreams about Sands. Is any of it real? Is insanity catching? Lyrically written, surreal vignettes, with this line from Sands: "I want you in me, and I’ll shoot you if I don’t get what I want." I love that line! It's not a long story. Give it a try. What do you think is going on? Day of the Dead | | |

Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE Pairing: Rogue/Iceman/Pyro (Marie/Bobby/John) Author on LJ: z_rayneAuthor Website: Vapor TracesWhy this must be read:Told from Rogue's point of view, this brief story sticks close to canon even as it explores a love triangle that I can believe in. Taking into account Marie/Bobby and Bobby/John, the author sketches the path of a complicated relationship in a few short paragraphs. The structure is stylized, present tense and repetitive in pattern, but deep emotions are evident and Rogue's character and reactions are realistic. Fire and Ice | | |

Fandom: ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO Pairing: Sands/El Mariachi Author on LJ: kukkurkuratAuthor Website:fanfiction.net profileWhy this must be read: Morphine mellows the maniac. Sorry, couldn’t resist the alliteration. But, truly, this is a mellow vignette with El providing comfort to a drugged-up Sands's hurt. El manages to keep up with Sands's symbolic, metaphor-laced meanderings. Lyrical, like all of Kerttu's writing, and it leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy. Morphine mellows the meandering maniac. Stop me! Stop me, now!Quote from the story: “You are high. You will regret this.” “I am a sociopath, I do not do regret.” Held Like a Spanish Guitar | | |

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin Author on LJ: katyabaturinskyAuthor Website: http://www.thisiskatya.com/index2.htmlWhy this must be read: I'm in awe of writers who write love scenes that are hot and romantic and spellbinding all at the same time. Though there's so much more than that to this story, though some might see this as little more than a PWP, it's that part that stays with me afterwards, the almost lyrical quality of their coming together. Yet Napoleon is still Napoleon and Illya is still Illya; no shrinking violets here. I guess that's what makes it so great. Chiaroscuro | | |

Fandom: STARGATE SG-1 Pairing: Jack/Sam/Daniel Author on LJ: kresAuthor Website: hereWhy this must be read:This is a bit less end-of-the-world than most of the OT3 out there. Not that there's anything wrong with the end of the world, but sometimes it's nice to take a break. I love all the characterisations here. Daniel is stubborn, Jack is dense but not nearly as dense as he pretends to be, Teal'c sees all and says very little, and Carter takes her clothes off. There is silence in the dark room behind his back, and Jack thinks that they might have finished, so perhaps he can go inside, get another beer from the fridge, make himself a bit more comfortable--
--but then Carter says Oh God very clearly, and Daniel just sort of whimpers - and Jack isn't really sure which of those makes sweat break across his skin.Lighter | | |

Fandom: STARGATE SG-1 Pairing: Jack/Sam/Daniel Author on LJ: sage_theoryAuthor Website: paper-heartedWhy this must be read:Teamfic, really. Sweet, cool teamfic in which everyone is lost. Or found. Jack sighs, puts his back to a tree and stops. He's been towards the sun as fast as he can. He figures that at least Carter will be smart enough to use that as her guide. And probably Daniel, unless he finds something old with writing on it out in the woods and then good luck with that.
Nah, Daniel wouldn't go geek on them in the middle of a performance review.
Probably.Passing Thus Alone | | |

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT Pairing: None. Dan, Natalie, humour. Author on LJ: helsinkibabyAuthor Website: The Band GazeboWhy this must be read: No, really. Why doesn't Michelle Kwan like Dan? It's a perfectly valid question, and one that helsinkibaby answers with the help of Natalie, and her inevitable brand of mad humour. Putting on the Whammy | | |
