11:43 am In Service by Tiriel (NC-17)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Frodo/Sam
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tiriel_35
Author Website: In a Green Shade
Why this must be read:

This is Frodo/Sam slash, but mostly from Lobelia's point of view. Tiriel uses description well, so you can imagine the garden of Bag End full of beautiful, colourful flowers. Lobelia, being so jealous of the flowers, is clueless enough not to guess what Sam and Frodo are up to.

What I really like about this story is that Tiriel doesn't use very many words to tell us exactly what's going on, mostly it can be worked out from Frodo's thoughts, Sam's whispers and Lobelia's observations. Even though it's NC-17 it's still quite subtle.

02:22 pm Privilege of Rank by Moon Jaguar (R)
Greetings, I am [livejournal.com profile] sansenmage, sailing the Hornblower Reccer for December. My mission is to rec stories that defy fanon conventions--well, or at least offer character insight. Enjoy the ride, but beware of the green midshipmen.

Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Bush/Styles
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] moonjaguar
Author Website: N/A

Why this must be read: Genre Romances can be summarized as "In the beginning, two people hate each other, but by the end they fell in love." This has none of the traditional romance, even though Bush offers one indecent proposal to Styles because he is, well, horny. So how about some unromantic smut minus the flowery language? I say yes, especially since not only the pretty and shiny gentlemen deserve attention.

07:04 pm The Better Man by leda13 (M)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Characters, Pairing: Gaius, Lee/Six
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] leda13
Author Website: http://www.livejournal.com/users/leda13/
Why this must be read: The complicated relationship between Gaius Baltar and his personal Cylon angel, Six, is part of the great appeal of the show. Much of their relationship takes place in a set of seemingly imaginary locations inside Baltar's mind. Here, [livejournal.com profile] leda13 gives that an intriguing twist when an unexpected visitor disturbs that space and Baltar's peace.

08:06 pm Better Go Catch It by mosca (PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Casey, Dan
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] mosca
Author Website: homoneurotica
Why this must be read:

Because, like a lot of Sports Night fans, I am quite the fan of pretty, broken Danny. Because, like a lot of Sports Night fans, I sometimes forget that, of the two of them, Dan and Casey, it may well be Casey who's the most screwed up. At least Dan admits to it. Casey never will. Here we have just-post-divorce Casey, kept awake in the night by a problem that Lisa could have solved, and nothing to keep him company but some very strange sports and a friend who's afraid to touch. It's heartbreaking; but in a good way.

08:53 pm Game Over by Keira (NC-17)
Fandom: Queer as Folk: US
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] bigboobedcanuck
Author's Website: all fanfic can be found here
Pairing: Emmett/Drew
Why this must be read:

I have to admit I loved Emmett and Drew.  I do see them hooking back up sometime in the future.  This story takes place in an AU where Drew ends his career and decides he wants Emmett back.  Emmett however, is not sure he wants to go back.

 Emmett tried to stop himself, but it was too late. He reached out for Drew’s hand. “I miss you, too.” Drew smiled, a hopeful look creasing his face, and Emmett took a step back suddenly, tearing his hand away. “But I won’t be your secret again, Drew. You know, we should really just talk about this. Why don’t I go, and you can call me later.” He needed to get the hell out of there, or talking would be the last thing they’d be doing.

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] khohen_1
Author Website: kHo's Fanfic
Why this must be read: This is a short but bitersweet moment between Jack and Sawyer that most fans wish would happen. Here Sawyer tells Jack a little something about his dad and himself. Enjoy.

10:32 pm The Groupie of Dol Guldur by Wild Iris (PG)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Nazgul/OFC
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] the_wild_iris
Author Website: Konallis
Why this must be read:

This is pretty much a parody of the usual Mary Sue story where the heroine is perfect and all the men fall in love with her. Well, the heroine in this one (Úlairiel) is indeed perfect, it's just that the man who falls in love with her is a Ringwraith.

Probably the best way to describe this is silly. It won't make you laugh out loud but it should certainly make you smile at the improbability of it all.
