01:47 am This May Be Cliché, But It's Pretty Funny! by Sivi (NC-17)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Kon-El/Bart Allen (Superboy/Kid Flash II)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] siviusx (no longer updated)
Author Website: Some fic at user's LJ and [livejournal.com profile] dcfic_index.
Why this must be read:

It just wouldn't be a month of DC recs without some major crack involved, so I'm kicking off the insanity with one of my favourite clichés.

Take two horny teenagers. Stir in an otherwise empty Titans Tower. Add a dash of good old-fashioned random gender-swapping. Sprinkle with humour. Garnish with short skirts and tight shirts. Serve hot.

09:56 am Risk by Cathy Butterfield (PG)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: mackiedockie
Author Website: Parda's Highlander Site
Why this must be read: A legal thriller centering on Joe Dawson. The characters of Joe, Methos and Duncan are well developed and there are intriguing original characters. After Joe is found over the body of a headless corpse, an old friend of Methos's agrees to represent him. In the best tradition of Highlander, the events in the story have been shaped by relationships from the past. The use of music is extremely effective and the bar scenes are vibrant.

The story opens:

It was surprising it didn't happen more often, Joe mused.
All those bodies, over the years.
All that blood shed, over the millennia.
All those curious and suspicious policemen.
As the handcuffs clicked over his wrists...

I've just learned her lj name and that new fiction, including a WIP sequel to Risk, is being posted on her livejournal.

06:18 pm Be My Fay Wray by CallmeSandy (R)
Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Harmony/Fred
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] callmesandy
Author Website: lowercase k
Why this must be read:

Angel is a fandom in which good humorous fics should be found and nurtured and cherished. This story combines some of my favorite things: it's funny, it's told from Harmony Kendall's delightfully skewed point-of-view, and it takes place in two alternative universes at once (and yet both are canon; does everybody love this fandom as much as I do?) [livejournal.com profile] callmesandy is one of those dizzyingly polyfannish writers who leaves me in awe of her versatility, and her Harmony voice is particularly wonderful.

Excerpt:
She would never ever eat Fred because Fred was her human lover )

The whole enchilada (almost as good as a taco):

09:15 pm Intermezzo by Mab (PG)
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Buffy & Cordelia friendship
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mistress_mab
Author Website: Sweet Madness
Why this must be read:

Set Post-You're Welcome, Intermezzo is a surreal little ficlet that has great visual imagery and is an excellent example of dream-genre fic. I think it hits the perfect note of whimsy and even though it's short, it's worth the read.
