*meepmeep* All a-bloody-board the Firefly van - regrettably tardy, due to some Unicode issues - the name is Eibii, and I'll be your driver for the month. (This is the part where you start screaming.) My tastes tend to fly all over the board (het, gen, slash, the works) with this particular fandom, so I'll be attempting for some sort of variety in my recs. To kick it all off... (Okay, you can stop screaming now...)Fandom: FIREFLY Pairing: Jayne/Mal Author on LJ: janissa11Author Website: EmlandWhy this must be read: The author manages to make the roughness of Jayne's observations of both himself, and Mal's attitude toward him (after the events of Ariel, not the warmest or fuzziest of times), seem simultaneously gruff and poetic. Dark, raw, poigniant, and probably not everyone's cup of grog due to some action bordering on non-con - two grown men in a gritty sort of encounter, where you can nearly taste the dust.

Fandom: STARGATE SG1 Pairing: Jack/Daniel, Sam, Teal'c Author on LJ: dachinchilla Author Website: The Safety PinWhy this must be read:
When a simple mission leaves Jack unconscious, the rest of the team must try to figure out what went wrong. Light slash, the focus of this story is on the team and how they react to what Jack experiences. An intelligent story that raises some intriguing questions about the nature of reality and quantum universes. You didn't become Special Ops without having a piece of your mind fused into solid steel. It had given Jack's sanity something to cling to, especially after the 30th alternate or so, when everything had started to unravel, leaving Jack thinking that perhaps he wasn't ever going to get back home. Maybe he was destined to forever do the leaping thing, living a moment of every other Jack's life until there was nothing left - and since the possibilities went all around infinity and beyond, there was a lot to work around.
It's All About the Quantum

Hello, I'm Calime, driving the van for the Highlander fandom in this cold (at least where I live *g*) month of February. My reading preferences run towards slash and gen, and towards fics that leave a lasting emotional impression or have an intriguing plot ( or both *g*), so that'll most likely be what affects my reccommendation choices. Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: implied Duncan/Methos, Joe Author on LJ: tryfanstoneAuthor Website: terra incognitaWhy this must be read: Author's warning sounds thusly:'Extended metaphor and character death, no sex.' If that does not scare you away (and I hope it does not), then you are in for a deeply moving experience. This is an achingly beautiful story from an author with an unique style and a way with words that never ceases to impress and delight me to the n'th reread. Go, enjoy, Waiting for Joe | | |

Hi everyone! I'm iamtheenemy up for another round of CSI recs. I have mad love for the Nick/Greg pairing, but also harbor a not-so-secret girlcrush on Sara, so you'll most likely see those three in some permutation starring in my recs. I hope you enjoy! Fandom: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Pairing: Nick Stokes/Greg Sanders Author on LJ: shriftAuthor Website: shrift's fan fictionWhy this must be read:A favorite CSI moment for most Nick/Greg slashers is when Greg and Nick played "Name That Chemical Compound" while working on a case. Here shrift takes that idea and expands on it. This story has perfect Nick and Greg voices. As an added bonus, Sara's there to spice things up and give the story some extra sass. I love pining!Greg and aggressive!Nick. Plus, you know, shrift. The only disappointing part about this story is that it's so short. Don't worry though, you'll love every one of the (admittedly short amount) of minutes you spend reading it. ( Excerpt ) Inventing Games Out of Everything | | |

Fandom:Harsh Realm Pairing:Pinocchio/Hobbes Author on LJ: disanddatAuthor Website:Carla Jane's FanfictionWhy this must be read:Because it's hot. Because she looks a bit into Pinocchio's life shortly after leaving the Republican Guard. Because sometimes you just need the characters to have sex. Really it's all about the sex in this one. Hobbes is spot on with his angst over Sophie and his curiousity about just how exactly guys do sex. Because Pinocchio is bitchy yet helpful to Hobbes. And there's the sex. Bad Reputation | | |

Fandom: DUE SOUTH Pairing: Fraser/Kowalksi Author on LJ: rageprufrockAuthor Website: GlitteratiWhy this must be read: rageprufrock is a fabulously talented writer. This is the only story she's written in the Due South fandom, and it's wonderful. Fraser's father, dead!Bob, is stalking Ray. He's trying to play Cupid in his own demented way, but Ray's too busy freaking out about the dead guy who keeps showing up to give any serious thought to the "queer" thing. ( Excerpt )It's Like This Old Inuvit Story I KnewNote: Pru didn't rate this story. I rate it PG for adult themes. | | |
