Why this must be read:

Let's spice things up a bit, the day after Christmas, with some of the best slash recs in "Real Ghostbusters."

I don't read (much) slash. Yet this brief, hot, mildly (yet still slightly unsettling) BDSM story has stuck with me since the first day it was posted. Mystery, bedroom powerplays, the feel of silk and twill, all make for a memorable tale!

The eyes closed, and all he felt was the bed beneath him. That, and the delicious pressure of tightly knotted ropes. His lover had done his job well tonight--he doubted he'd even be able to writhe when the time came.

And the time, if fate was kind and his lover willing, would be a very long time coming.

08:04 pm The Divine Accident of Life by flowrs4ophelia (G)
Fandom: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Pairing: Jack Twist/Ennis del Mar
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] flowrs4ophelia
Author Website: LJ Memories
Why this must be read: This piece manages something rare and wonderful: it goes out of the dialect speech and enters into the poetic, but still stays true to the essence of the character and story. Jack’s point of view is beautifully represented here and the way this piece is framed is one of the few that he could speak so honestly and deeply to Ennis.

Do this. Go up to the mountain in the summer when the sun is out making all the colors the brightest and everything looks like it’s on fire, the water blue flame and the rock dark, cooled embers. Here you never have to be alone and you never have to bury what you feel. You can bleed your agony. You can scream in pain, loud and proud like an eagle. Shout our secret to the free sky, open and gaping like the mouth of a snake right before it sinks its teeth into your heel and kills you. You’ll hit the ground and feel the pain slowly die away and go numb, and then you’ll be truly free, part of that sky.

09:40 pm In Medias Res by Kim Gasper (NC-17)
Fandom: Ai no Kusabi
Pairing: Iason/Riki
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mickeym
Author Website: Infinite Passions
Why this must be read:

This is a glimpse into Riki's head as he is dealing with being Iason's pet and his own confusion. It is a bit too melodramatic, but very expressive.
WARNINGS: BDSM, non-con.

10:17 pm Occasionally We Stop and Stare Past Tiny Paintings by Pemulis (
Fandom: THE OFFICE
Pairing: ensemble, canon pairings
Author on LJ: --
Author Website: Pemulis
Why this must be read:

Really gorgeous season three fic, with astonishingly spot-on characterization for everyone. It's rare to find fic written with this light a touch, and I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed that something wasn't longer. Read it.

"[Karen] listens to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes while driving to pick [Jim] up, turns it up really loud, moves her body with his voice, taps her fingers along the steering wheel rim. She tries to imagine him dancing, like really dancing and not doing some goofy “it's so funny that I'm dancing” dance. She can't."

10:23 pm The Beginning of An Affair by transcendenza (G)
Fandom: SUPERMAN
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] transcendenza
Author Website: fanfiction memories
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] transcendenza's a writer who's deft at evoking a whole person in brief. This prequel story isn't even a thousand words, but invites you to fully inhabit Clark Kent's existence as he struggles to deal with his emerging superpowers and other distractions. It has moments of humour, wonder and melancholy, all in perfect balance.
