08:57 am Heatstroke by M. Fae Glasgow, NC-17
Fandom: BLAKE'S 7
Pairing: Blake/Avon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mfaeglasgow
Author Website: Oblique Publications
Why this must be read:

C'mon, you really didn't think you'd get away with no Oblique while I'm in charge? This particular story returned to haunt me today because I was in the mood for a dark, manipulative Blake, his morals rather ambiguous when faced with the temptation that is Avon. Naked, sleeping and seemingly vulnerable Avon. True to the Oblique spirit, it's dark and angsty and very neatly written--you can pretty much count on absorbing, rich prose and so-hot-it-hurts sex with M. Fae. You can feel the actual heat and dampness of the night when reading, I swear. Wonderful tactile details complete the sense of being there, watching Blake's fall. *fans self*

10:58 am Derorrim by anr (PG)
Title: Derorrim
Fandom: Star Trek: Enterprise
Pairing: Trip/T'Pol
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] anr
Author Website: Acerbitas
Why this must be read:

As I've said before I don't read a lot of Trip/T'Pol fic but there are a few authors that I'll give it a read for and Ness is one of them. I've served as go to person for Trek for her in the past and that's what's gotten me reading it and I have to admit, despite my dislike of the pairing she never, ever disappoints. The fics are always fantastic and I find myself enjoying the pairing despite myself. In this case she takes on the MirrorVerse Trip/T'Pol and gives us some surprising depth for the somewhat shallow Tucker and an insightful look into the MirrorVerse T'Pol. MirrorVerse fics are a favorite of mine at any rate but this one takes it a step beyond for me and I greatly enjoyed it.

06:17 pm The Dirt And Dust of Countless Ages by Jen (R)
Fandom:  BUFFY
Pairing: Xander/Andrew
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jenoofer
Author Website: subdued
Why this must be read: 

If you only read one Xander/Andrew fic this should be the one.  You may have seen it recced elsewhere because really - it is that good.  In this fic we get to see the mature, weary adult Xander has grown in to.  His feelings for Andrew start off mired in anger and hate but slowly grow into a kind of friendship and then possibly more.  It isn't until the world doesn't end that he realizes it is time to figure out where things go now. 

When they were kids, Willow gave Xander a kaleidoscope for his birthday. He’d hold it up to the light and keep turning it, so the colours kept changing and cycling. Watching Andrew is like watching a human kaleidoscope. It takes just the slightest distraction to turn him and make him change. It’s probably just a short attention span, Xander decides, but it’s like meeting an entirely different Andrew.

Xander remembers the hunted-look he saw on the guy’s face earlier, the punished figure standing awkwardly in just a green towel, and thinks Andrew is either the greatest actor he’s ever seen, or just far too used to punishment.

11:45 pm Deny Nothing by Rivka-T (NC-17)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Dana Scully/Alex Krycek (Fox Mulder/Alex Krycek historically, Fox Mulder/Dana Scully UST, possible RST)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rivkat
Author Website:The Disenchanted Kingdom
Why this must be read:
Because it's great fun to watch Krycek and Scully have to work together to achieve an objective, in this case finding a missing Mulder. Along with hot sex you get great turns of phrase and real mytharc plot.

Working together. )
