Why this must be read:

Extremely brief Justice League International overview linkspam thingy (although you don't need to know the characters in order to enjoy the story): Read more... )

It's time for Porn Cliché #2305971: Trapped Together in an Enclosed Space! Now with the added goodness of Booster-Beetle Banter!

The dialogue here really makes the story: hilarious, and absolutely spot-on for these two.

And if the banter and general shenanigans aren't enough for you... well, there's always the supply-closet porn. What more could you want?

Go! Read! Love!

03:04 am Bad Behavior by Brooklinegirl (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: RayK/Fraser

Why this must be read:

This story hits two of my Callum Keith Rennie kinks:

1. Callum's hands.

2. Callum smoking (which relates to number one).

I know that smoking is bad and dangerous and you shouldn't do it, and so does Fraser. Against his better judgment he's turned on by Ray's bad boy image. It's fun watching Ray brood in that dark, sexy way of his until he notices Fraser's intense interest in him smoking. Very, very hot, and the perfect way for Ray to end a stressful day.

07:15 am Why Do Birds Sing So Gay by torch (R)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Chris/Nick
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] flambeau
Author Website: The Flambeau Factory
Why this must be read: One of the funniest stories in popfandom. Nsync and Backstreet meet up in Germany (back in the day), Nick has these rings, and wackiness inevitably ensues (including Chris nearly committing suicide by boyband). All the guys from both groups are used well, there's brilliant dialogue, and Chris/Nick are one of my favourite crossover pairings.

JC tried to make the bed. After the third time he slipped in the patch of lube on the floor and nearly fell, he put the pillows down on top of it, put the bedspread down over the messy sheets, and piled most of the stuff on the floor on top. Then he looked at Nick and Chris. "Could you guys stop that?"
Nick and Chris separated with an audible suction-cup plop. "Stop what?"
"That whole... face-eating zombies horror movie thing." JC took a closer look. Then he clapped his hands over his eyes. "Jesus! Chris, get your hand out of there!"
"We're soulmates, C," Chris said seriously.
JC peered through his fingers and shuddered. "Yeah, well, that is not his soul, okay? So knock it off."

03:27 pm R and D/The Waltz Continues Arc by Busaikko Baby (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Severus Snape/Remus Lupin
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] busaikko
Author Website: Fic Index Page

Why this must be read:
Before I realized it, I had a Remus-centric theme going with my recs, so here's the first story with an angsty Remus. R and D, the first story in the series, is focused more on Snape, while The Waltz Continues is more of a Remus hurt/comfort story from Snape's POV, but because it's the least sad of all my Remus recs, I'll start off with this one first.

I appreciate the many grounding details, the potions making, and the pronounced lack of sentimentality in the first story. Although there's a pairing, it's decidedly unromantic. I think that makes the SS/RL pairing work. I love this Remus, and there's humor of a dry sort. Also, Mad Moody is a significant player in the events, so that makes me happy. The second major installment (Werewolf Sought! is more of a background interlude) has more emotion, but the schmoop factor isn't an issue: both Severus and Remus are in character.

Quiet by Te (PG-13)

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thete1
Author Website: Teland

Why this must be read:
This is one writer's take on Remus's reaction to the events of OotP, and I believe every line of this character study. What makes the quiet suffering bearable to read is the end of the story--inconclusive though it is, there's a smidgen of relief from the loneliness of grief.

06:17 pm For Now (The Fuck Waiting Remix) by Katherine (PG-13)
Fandom: X-MEN MOVIEVERSE
Pairing: Wolverine/Rogue
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] misskatherine
Author Website: Skin Deep
Why this must be read: This story, remixed to be from Logan's POV, is the story that sucked me into the fandom. The basic gist is that Rogue grows up while Logan waits patiently, but this story is really about how their established relationship (especially the non-romantic portions) evolves as they grow and mature. You can also read the original story (the link is on the story page), and go back and forth between POVs -- it's an amazingly complete view of the story. At its core, this is a love story about a love that completes, transforms, and ultimately saves Rogue from herself. Also, it made me cry, because, yes, I'm a sucker for romance.
