11:46 am Scattered Scars Like Constellations by sadiekate (NC-17)
Fandom: VERONICA MARS
Pairing: Weevil/Logan/Veronica
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sadiekate
Author Website: Author's Memories
Why this must be read:

This contains, far and away, some of the best threesome smut I have ever read. In addition, [livejournal.com profile] sadiekate makes the relationships work in a completely in character sort of way. Weevil, Logan and Veronica are all very troubled people, and here they just happen to be working out those troubles through hot sex. Why would you not want to read that?

Excerpt:

Veronica wasn’t that surprised to find out Logan and Weevil were fucking, but she had to admit it threw her for a slight loop when Logan showed up at her dorm room and, avoiding her eyes, asked her not to fuck his boyfriend anymore.

Why this must be read:   Devo is the true poet laureate of the Highlander fandom.  Her gift is subtle, sexy, pithy, funny and poignant.  She takes words and chooses them so carefully, setting them in an order and with a pace that steals your breath and your heart.  Yes, it's poetry.  And yes, it must be read.

03:16 pm Orrery by Justin Glasser (R)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully UST, although this is not a relationship story per se
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: The Works of Justin Glasser

Why this must be read: "Closure" was a controversial X-Files episode and much fic was written in order to "fix" it. (A lot more ignored it completely.) This story takes a different approach, incorporating the events of the episode and the years of back story leading up to it and sets out to tell one possible -- and entirely plausible -- version of Samantha's story. It is beautifully written, with not an extraneous word to be found, and its spare language creates an atmosphere that is both serene and heartbreaking.

An Orrery is a model of the universe. When you move one part, the others move, as well. )

04:02 pm April After All by Sprat (PG-13)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairings: Ray Vecchio/Ray Kowalski; past Fraser/Kowalski and Kowalski/Other mentioned
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sprat
Author Website: Sprat's fanfiction

Why this must be read:
This one I chose for the pure sweetness, because Ray/Ray doesn't have to be all sharp edges, all the time. This is another "beginnings" story, and the Ray Vecchio in Sprat's story is very, very appealing.

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairings: Ray Vecchio/Ray Kowalski; Fraser/Kowalski

Why this must be read:
A Cheating Challenge story, this one is bittersweet and hurting and shabby, but damn, I loved the ending so much!

08:09 pm Canticle by Nic (PG)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Brian/AJ
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] xoverau
Author Website: n/a

Why this must be read: Because it's an intense and powerful story about Fae and mortals, creativity and music, love and death, in a world that for all its mundane trappings is stark and beautiful and strange. Because the language is beautiful and haunting and grips you by the throat from the first line and won't let you go even at the end.

08:48 pm After Clouds, Sun by Linda B (G)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN ~ Modern Day AU
Pairing: Gen. Chris and Vin centric.
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Linda B's Magnificent Seven Fan Fiction
Why this must be read:

I tend to seek out long stories that take their time exploring the characters but every once in a great while I come across something like After Clouds, Sun that is short and potent and stays with me long after I've read it. It takes into account the connection between Chris and Vin and what the aftermath might be like if that thoughtless connection somehow failed them under duress. There is something about Vin being hurt and yet only worried about Chris that confirms that the connection is still there.

10:00 pm Bent Justice by toobusy2write (NC-17 overall)
Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: mainly Angel/Spike, dozens of other side-pairings
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] toobusy2write
Author Website: Penetrating Urges
Why this must be read:

So, um, it's sort of cheating for me to rec this fic, since one usually rec fics that everybody, um, hasn't read. But I figured I can make an exception for this one since it's one of the best recent epic written, and by far the best AU epic ever. Angel and Spike retain their core personalities in this fic, and she does an amazing job building up their rivalry, and their relationship. What she does (or doesn't do)with the other characters in the verse is fascinating and original as well (perhaps most interesting of all is the lack of Buffy in this fic)

Plus the sex is really hot.
