Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS Pairing: Frodo/Sam Author on LJ: tiriel_35Author Website: In a Green ShadeWhy 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. In Service | |

Greetings, I am 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: moonjaguarAuthor 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. ( Excerpt )Privilege of Rank | |

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003 Characters, Pairing: Gaius, Lee/Six Author on LJ: leda13Author 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, leda13 gives that an intriguing twist when an unexpected visitor disturbs that space and Baltar's peace. The Better Man | |

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT Pairing: Casey, Dan Author on LJ: mosca Author Website: homoneuroticaWhy 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. Better Go Catch It: | |

Fandom: Queer as Folk: US Author on LJ: bigboobedcanuck Author's Website: all fanfic can be found herePairing: 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.

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS Pairing: Nazgul/OFC Author on LJ: the_wild_irisAuthor Website: KonallisWhy 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. The Groupie of Dol Guldur | |
