10:44 am A Cure For Boredom by Aline (NC-17)
Fandom: BLAKE'S 7
Pairing: Blake/Avon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alinewrites
Author Website: Aline's fanfiction
Why this must be read:

Sometimes what you need is just a good old dose of unashamedly porny and fluffy PWP. Now, normally I won't buy the characters as being this cheerful, but this fic has a lovely lightness to it, where the cheerfulness doesn't seem forced like it could so easily be, given the fandom. Blake and Avon are still struggling, and that just makes for hot, rough sex in this case. Oh, and it has The Hooker Boots(TM). Hooker Boot Sex. Yes. Perfect for a bit of light-hearted smut, really.

11:03 am Stages by CHeights (NC-17)
Fandom: Oz
Pairing: Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: [profile] cheightsAuthor Website: CatHeights
Why this must be read: Because it's by CatHeights, and she's writing about the NYE reunion, interwoven with memories of the not-so-wonderful path that brought them to that point. So there's angst and introspection and oh so sexy toe-curling smut packed in there. That's plenty reason enough.

But, you know, there's also reasons like this:

Wanting Keller is easy... )

Or this:

While his fingers can't get enough of Keller... )

08:03 pm Run Aground by Idler (G)
Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: William Bush
Author on LJ:NA
Author Website:NA
Why this must be read:

Run Aground is a novella length fic based on Hornblower book canon that deals with the blank period between the end of "Flying Colours" and the beginning of "Commodore Hornblower", wherein Captain Bush is put ashore due to the crippling injury he received at Rosas Bay. The loss of the sea, a limb, and the omnipresent spectre of self-doubt are the obstacles Bush must now struggle to surmount. Idler gives us adventure -- a surprisingly rare commodity in Age of Sail fanfiction -- and mystery, and a colorful cast of original characters, but at it's core, Run Aground is a story about strength of heart.

He ran his eyes slowly over the deck, taking in the graceful beauty of the little cutter. With all plain sail set, the Witch was scudding along like a wraith about to take flight. He sighed thoughtfully. The Witch of Endor…Saul’s witch. The Biblical Saul had lost everything; even God had turned his hand against him. Saul, in his desperation, had gone to her. She conjured the shade of the dead Samuel for him, foretelling his destiny; and then…when he was faint from weakness, she offered him sustenance, strengthening him to meet that fate.

08:44 pm Open Wide and Empty, by Purity Brown (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR WARS PT (EU)
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Quinlan Vos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] puritybrown
Author Website: not known
Why this must be read:

After the Jedi purges, one of the few survivors finds Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine, but Obi-Wan's in no mood to face the past.

The solitary life of Obi-Wan on Tatooine between ROTS and ANH is an interesting blank that intrigues most SW writers into filling it with their own speculations: chance encounters, visiting ghosts, clone raid, regrets and endless desert bleakness. In this case it's Quinlan Vos, Obi-Wan's old friend appearing in Tatooine, both of them in hiding after the Jedi purges and grieving for lost companions and students. Obi-Wan seems to have gained a new wisdom through pain and disillusionment, and Quinlan finds out about the source behind it. There's a great insight into the psyche of both and the whole story is beautifully conceived and structured.

10:18 pm Once Upon A Time by Annie-Lee (PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan/Casey
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] out_there
Author Website: Amazed by the Mathematics
Why this must be read:

Weaving a story within a story, Annie crafts a sweet and gentle fairytale that takes back to a time of magic and dragons, Kings and Queens, Knights and Ladies, wicked witches and evil tyrants, all with a Sports Night theme. It ends happily ever after, as all good fairytales should, and in between it's as sweet as sweet can be.
