11:18 am Bright Copy and Browned, by Tray (G)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None; characters are Tessa, Methos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] elistaire
Author Website: Taterville
Why this must be read: This is a very short story by the elegant and romantic Tray. It features a popular (and for some, yearned for) AU: what if, what would happen if, Tessa met Methos? Next to Amanda, Tessa is the highest profile and most beloved woman in the show, and in spite of the lies of movie makers, the (female) Love of Duncan's Life. So of course, she should meet his other great love...

a very small taste )

12:02 pm Learn Something New by Speranza NC-17
Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] partners4life and your SGA pimp for the month. I'm a fairly simple girl, my OTPs are: John/Rodney, Parrish/Lorne and Radek/Ronon; so you will be getting a little bit of all those pairings from me this month. Without further ado, onto the first rec....

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: John/Rodney
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Author Website: Speranza's Fiction

Why this must be read: I love stories where John and Rodney return to Earth either for good or just for holidays. This story has such a laid-back, breezy feeling that fits in perfectly with the plot Speranza is trying to weave that while on vacation all John wants to do is surf and Rodney is just along for the ride. Lovely imagery and loads of banter plus hot, steamy scenes - you will love this story. It makes me want to crank up a Beach Boys tune while I read it.

12:12 pm Late Night at the Hoover by fran58 (PG)
Hello, I'm tree and I'll be your driver this month for The X Files. I don't actually have my licence yet, so hold on tight.

Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: fanfiction by fran58
Why this must be read:

They say begin at the beginning, right? I've recently become enamoured of good fic dealing with the development of Mulder and Scully's relationship early on in the series. Scully's rigidity and Mulder's acerbicness combine into some wonderful UST on screen. But how did it mold itself into the incredible partnership we see later on? This vignette is a subtly crafted example of how it might have begun, set post-Pilot.

On nights like this, when it was late and quiet, Mulder often thought he might see the ghost of J. Edgar sashaying down one of the darkened halls in a pair of stiletto pumps. He could be wrong. The old man may have preferred sling backs.

Late Night at the Hoover.

03:45 pm Seven Circles To Leave Your Lover In (The Pandaemonium Remix) by Daegaer (PG)
Hello! [livejournal.com profile] bethbethbeth here, and I'm taking a turn behind the Good Omens recs wheel for October. Not surprisingly, quite a few of the stories I'll be reccing this month will feature Crowley and Aziraphale (although hopefully, at least a few of those stories will introduce you to unfamiliar authors). However, wonderful as our favorite Demon and Angel are, there are many other characters in the novel who have been featured in stories of their own, and I hope to be able to draw your attention to those stories as well, starting with this....

Fandom: GOOD OMENS
Pairing: Hastur/Ligur
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] daegaer
Author Website: Daegaer's LJ Memories (all fic, not just GO)
Why this must be read:

Crowley and Aziraphale may have come to an 'Arrangement,' but it turns out that they're not the only ones to do so in this remix of [livejournal.com profile] lovelyzelda's story of the same name. In this clever tale, set in Hell's all-too-recognizably bureaucratic corridors of power, Hastur and Ligur have been spending quite a lot of time together, "discussin' interdepartmental affairs," as they call it. However, the private conferences of these two Dukes of Hell haven't gone precisely unnoticed.

06:44 pm To Conciliate a Tiger by RubyNye (NC-17)
Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] sister_wolf, and I'll be driving the DC Comics van this month. Part of what I love about DC Comics fandom is the wide variety of characters and pairings available to the fanfic writer, and my recs will reflect that. So, we'll start off with a bang with a rare (but ever so hot) pairing:

Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Deathstroke/Nightwing (Slade Wilson/Dick Grayson)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rubynye
Author Website: To Hold a Star in Your Hand
Why this must be read:

This story is set during Dick Grayson's brief but intriguing undercover stint as a mafia enforcer known as "Crutches." Dick is in over his head already, and things just get more complicated when he has to ask the master assassin Slade Wilson for a favor. Nothing between these two characters could ever be simple, not with their history, and RubyNye does a beautiful job of working the tension and sense of history between Nightwing and Deathstroke into a scorchingly hot seduction.

08:46 pm Straight Out From Underneath by withdiamonds (NC-17)
Fandom: Popslash
Pairing: Justin/Lance
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] withdiamonds
Author Website: It's a Dirty Story

Why this must be read: Because it takes almost a decade's worth of canon events and weaves a long, rich story in and around and through them. Because Justin and Lance are the main focus, but JC and Chris and Joey play important parts, so much so that it feels like an ensemble piece. Because Britney isn't ignored or demonized. Because Donna used each of the [livejournal.com profile] slashfic25 prompts--one per chapter, almost entirely in order--to tell the story and it never feels forced. But mostly because it's a story about possibilities and not giving up and love in all its forms.

09:50 pm The Bet by Luna Dey (PG-13-ish)
(I'm Kat, and I'll be your M7 driver for this month! :D I promise to brake before entering the corners. :p)

Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://www.blackraptor.net/m7fic/contents/authors-d.htm#dey
Why this must be read:

OK, it's not the best fic out there. The dialogue is sometimes weak, the characters can be a little OOC, and so on. So why am I reccing it? Because it's fun. It puts the boys in a variety of extremely silly situations, each precipitated by the result of a card game. (A game in which Ezra is not, unfortunately for him, allowed to deal!)

10:48 pm Did Too! by Brigitta B. (M 15+)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Brigitta B's Corner
Why this must be read:

You may be detecting a certain theme here, but I'm reccing this one because it is also lots of fun. Brigitta B was one of the first authors whose work I read when I started lurking in the M7 fandom. She's the author of a lot of M7 fics (mostly Chris and Vin -centric), including lots of AU fics. She's written lots of one-shots (like this), as well as some extremely long fics, one of which I have pencilled in to rec later this month.

But as for this story? Chris and Vin argue, fight, and make up. Unfortunately, no kissing is involved. ;) Trust me, it's better than I'm making it sound.

Did Too!
