Hello, I'll be making recs this month for Lost. Sorry this is a week late, I promise I'll make it up ;) I tend to enjoy slash, so that's mostly what I'll be reccing this month.

To kick off I thought I'd start with a more obscure pairing that I'm still really fond of haha.

Fandom: Lost
Pairing: Jack/Boone
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] iphignia939
Author Website: http://www.puppyshelter.org/fiction/gale/main.htm
(Reason this is a must read is under the lj cut because of spoilers.)

12:17 pm I’m on Fire by witchbaby (NC-17)
Fandom: TOUR OF DUTY
Pairing:Sergeant Zeke Anderson/Lieutenant Myron Goldman
Author on LJ: BrooklineGirl
Author Website: BrooklineGirl
Why this must be read:

Lt. McKay shacks up with Lt. Goldman. This is canon, people. There’s a housing shortage on base. Uh huh. The two young officers fight like cats and dogs, but Sgt. Anderson’s apparently read enough fan fiction to recognize the symptoms of UST. Overcome by jealousy, he visits Chez Goldman-McKay and resolves a lot of his own tension. Oy vey!

In canon, McKay and Goldman have a love-hate, push-pull relationship, and I like the way the author gets this across. And I like the way Anderson is characterized. His voice is clear. It’s a PWP, sure, but his personality, his maturity, and his understanding of human nature are evident. Goldman’s no match for his wily old platoon sergeant. Youth and endurance will always be overcome by old age and trickery.

02:48 pm Boxes by Terri (R-NC17)
I got behind due to being sick, so expect a bunch of posts from me over the next few days :)

Fandom: POPSLASH (Nsync)
Pairing: Chris/JC, Justin/Lance
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] turps33
Author Website: Yiman

Why this must be read: Another fantastically done a/u. JC, Chris and Joey live on the streets, just barely making it, but making it through love, friendship and determination. They're joined by Lance and Justin, who are young and innocent, and shouldn't be on the streets but feel they don't have anywhere else to go. Terri created an incredible world that's rich with detail and emotion; the love and friendship the five guys share and show each other made me teary-eyed more than once.

04:19 pm Lords of Misrule by Fabula Rasa (NC-17)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Legolas/Gimli
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fabularasa
Author Website: Fabulae
Why this must be read: "Lords of Misrule" is one of the best Legolas and Gimli friendship/romance stories out there, and certainly a long-time re-reading favourite of mine. Fabula Rasa has structured this as a lovely, slow reveal of Legolas's true motivations towards Gimli, complete with misunderstandings and exquisite UST, while Gimli is his usual irascible, adorable self. This story is also incredibly hot, especially if you like al fresco sex scenes.

07:58 pm Trying To Understand by Derry (NC-17)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] derryderrydown
Author Website: Gildy Clobber
Why this must be read: I like how each man struggles, "trying to understand" not only his own feelings but that of his partner. How they do it is so Bodie and Doyle; Bodie, acting like it's no big deal. Doyle, sure that it is. And the banter is very well written, used to hide as well as show affection. I think the only thing I didn't like was the last two lines because I'm not sure what's meant by them. Do they forewarn of difficult times or are they just a cute throwaway?

09:19 pm I Know What You Wished For and Between Love and Hate by Lane Carson (NC-17)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK US
Pairing: Brian/Justin
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website:What I Want

Why this must be read: This pair of stories is set after the season one finale. I found the exploration of Brian and Justin's relationship if Brian were able to accept that he loves Justin early on really interesting. Lane does an excellent job, I think, by not assuming everything would be hugs and puppies after Brian's realization. Her Brian is still Brian, relationship issues and all. There is also some pretty good Michael/David/Brian exploration.

11:16 pm The Sinews of War by hold_that_thought (R)
Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Buffy/Wesley
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sallyanne
Author Website: Let it Burn
Why this must be read:

This is my Sekrit OTP. I´m a die-hard B/A fan, but this particular pairing tickles my fancy like no other. And this story is worth reading for the ending surprise twist alone.
