01:39 am Untitled by La Reine Bleu (R)
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: William Bush and Archie Kennedy.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] la_reine_bleu
Author Website: Ginny Rose
Why this must be read:

Impressionistic sketches of a short, intense acquaintance; hot, rushed, incomplete and painful, but beautifully drawn.

It is as if the ship has a mind of her own; or else has read his...

01:16 pm In the cold stone garden by The Larch (NC17)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Aragorn/Arwen/Boromir
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] the_larch
Author Website: The forest for the trees
Why this must be read:

Because it's slow and beautiful and elegant. But there's an underlying awkwardness to the three of them - even as Aragorn and Arwen reach out to Boromir, there's an underlying tension - a separateness that can't be breached no matter how close they become. This is an Aragorn and Arwen who have a real, long history together. They're close, they fit - the piece both starts and ends with them alone with each other.

Read it for the moments. Because this is Aragorn, Arwen and Boromir at Rivendell, and although the inevitable cannot be halted, it can be put off - for a little while at least.

01:47 pm Need by deleerium (R)
Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairing: Orlando Bloom/Fellowship
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] deleerium
Author Website: Story Listing
Why this must be read: A bit of multi-partner action to finish things off with. This is my favourite Whore!Lando fic ever. Trust [livejournal.com profile] deleerium to deliver the goods!

Need

That's it for me this month. I'll see you all next month with recs in the brand spanking new General RPS fandom, when I show you just how brain-meltingly good the adventures of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck really are!

02:03 pm Finders Keepers by Taliesin (NC-17)
Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Taliesin's Reach

Why this must be read:
Napoleon's charm, patience, and good humour is tested when he tries to find his way back to Illya and U.N.C.L.E HQ during one hectic night in New York City. Thrush agents want him and the secret codes he's stolen from them, a pretty damsel eagerly offers a change of clothes and her affections for the night...and the men at the gay bathhouse are all too ready to welcome him with open arms and various other appendages.

Poor Napoleon. He's too popular for his own good. But never fear - the ever-dependable Illya is in hot pursuit. And tonight he's determined to get his man in more ways than one.

A crazy, witty and sexy farce from start to finish.

07:54 pm Paper Moon by Andraste (PG)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: Sort of John/Harvey-ish
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] andrastewhite
Author Website: Altogether Elsewhere
Why this must be read: Harvey is one of Farscape's oddest and most fascinating characters, and this is easily one of the best Harvey fics I've ever read. It brilliantly captures a sense of what it must be like to be Harvey, a newly-constructed entity living in a world made of someone else's memories. It deftly evokes the whole range of emotions Harvey's capable of conjuring, so that by turns we are amused by him, sorry for him, and perhaps a little creeped out by him. And it explains in solidly believable character terms a certain canonical action of Harvey's that I have always found more than a little difficult to understand.

08:10 pm Friday Night Drive-in!
Attn. Drivers: Tomorrow is the last Friday of the month, which means it's time for Friday Night Drive-In, a.k.a. Fan Vid Recs. Reccers may post 1 vid rec for their fandom, formatted as follows:

Subject Line: VID REC: Fandom - Song Title

Vidder:
Musical artist:
Pairing:
Vidder on LJ:
Vidder's website:
Why this vid kicks ass:


Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:

1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.

or…

2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.

or…

3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).


Do not:
Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage.
Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web.
Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.

Thank you!

11:05 pm Five Things That Never Happened To Ray and Ray by Speranza (PG-13)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Vecchio/Kowalski
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Author Website: Speranza's Fiction
Why this must be read: If you read Due South slash fanfic, you've undoubtedly read everything Speranza has written. Well, let's revisit an oldie but goodie. One of my favorite things about Ray/Ray stories is Fraser's reaction to his Rays being "together". This story gives five different, amusing possibilities.

Excerpt )

Five Things That Never Happened To Ray and Ray

Note: Speranza didn't rate this story. I rate it PG-13.
