11:04 am Smoke by Jennifer-Oksana (PG-13)
Fandoms: ANGEL and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Fred/Willow mentioned
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jennyo
Author Website: I'm Just Sayin'

Why this must be read:
Fred meets this really cool guy at a stoner party. Social awkwardness and babbling under the influence ensue, but a super-chill Oz smooths over the moment. I thought the Fred voice was appealing, and I liked seeing "Spin the Bottle" Fred, but the real clincher was the appearance of Oz.

Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: Andy Roddick/Mardy Fish, Andy Roddick/Roger Federer, Marat Safin/Tommy Haas, Marat Safin/ Tommy Haas/Mardy Fish + others implied
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] clo
Author Website: Her Memories or her fic journal [livejournal.com profile] clofic
Why this must be read: An huge AU set (to borrow her own description) in a hypothetical post-‘apocalyptic’ near future. As with all [livejournal.com profile] clo's writings this is beautifully detailed and impeccably written. It's harsh and bitter in places but utterly captivating and a great read. (Scroll up on the first chapter to get the warnings though, as there a few.)

Roger remembers days crouched in ditches, dizzy with blood loss; chained to pipes inside an old warehouse while people argued in six different languages over whether he lived or died; hunting wolves through a metre of mountain snow just because it was catch one or die of starvation.

Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: Andy Roddick/Roger Federer

Author Website: Memories of [livejournal.com profile] tennisslash
Why this must be read: This piece is a beautiful painting of an established relationship between these two (which ends up in some very hot porn). A lovely look at what goes on behind the public personas.

"You both know this is a very fragile and temporary time; Australia calls you both in a matter of weeks, and then you’ll be back to being Federer and Roddick, the great rivals of your generation. For now, though, you’re Roger and Andy, you have this, and you’re planning to make the most of it."

11:19 pm The Carrot and the Stick by Plausible Deniability (NC-17)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Fanfiction by Plausible Deniability
Why this must be read:

While humour is a vital element in the XF universe, it can be difficult to master without resorting to farce and is a skill to be much admired. Even more enviable is the ability to write incredibly hot smut that is both true to the characters and also very funny. Plausible Deniability manages to do just that, endowing this Mulder with a sweetness that is endearing and leaves you wanting more. Fortunately for us, there's a sequel.

For the past few days, I keep catching her looking at me with this strange expression on her face, as if she's just about to break into a smile, but thinks better of it at the last second.

The Carrot and the Stick.
