Good morning! I'm Shirasade and will be your driver for the Lotrips fandom this month. I've never done this before, but I'll do my best to entertain you. I apologize in advance for the single-mindedness with which I will rec Billy/Dom. What can I say? I'm an OTP kinda girl... However, I do promise to try my best to post some other pairings as well. :)

Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairing: Billy/Dom
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hackthis
Author Website: dysfunctional / LJ memories

Why this must be read: This story was one of the reasons I fell in love with the Billy/Dom pairing. Technically it's a songfic for the John Mayer song of the same name. Mainly, however, it's a gorgeous Billy POV, set during filming and showing the sweet progression of a love story in a series of 5 memories.

10:23 am A Mile in His Moccasins by Gileswench NC-17
*waves* Hello [community profile] crack_vanreaders! I'm Katy and I'll be driving the Buffy van this month. I'm a Giles fan, so I'll be bringing the Watcher love this month. Hopefully there will be something for everyone here; het (Giles/Buffy all the way), slash (Giles/Xander and Giles/Wesley) and gen. So enjoy!


Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
Pairing: Giles/Buffy
Author on LJ: [profile] gileswench
Author Website: The Wench's Tavern

Why this must be read: If you love Giles, Da Wench is one of the first authors you should read. Best known for writing Giles/Buffy, she knows Giles inside and out. She doesn't sugar coat him or neglect his flaws. Instead she brings them out and makes the reader love him even more because of them. Any Giles lover should check out all of her stories.

In this story, Giles is forced to come back to Sunnydale, after leaving at the beginning of season six, by our favorite Council villian, Quentin Travers. When he and Buffy encouner a demon who switches their bodies, both are forced to examine the other's lives from their perspective. Wenchie doesnt flinch from the ugliness that was season six, but does a wonderful job of making both characters face their inner demons. Plus, the sex is smoking hot.

07:19 pm Staying Present by Fluterbev (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim and Blair
Author on LJ: [personal profile] fluterbev
Author website: Fluterbev's Ephemera

Why this must be read: Fluterbev is one of my favourite writers and this is my favourite of all her stories - I can’t believe it hasn’t been rec’d here before.

Blair has brain damage – but this is not your usual cliché h/c story. The characterization is perfect, as you’d expect from a Fluterbev story. Jim, whose voice tells the tale, is deep and dark and angst-ridden. Blair, though the victim in the tale, adds the perfect touch of humour and light, dealing with his situation in the same pragmatic, no-nonsense way that canon-Blair would.

The main reason I love this story is the brilliant characterisation, but there’s a solid case-plot background and a delicious little twist towards the end.

Hi!
I’m Smilla and I’ll share with you my favourite fic for The Magnificent Seven fandom during March. My recs will be both gen and slash (the latter mostly Chirs/Vin). My love for the talented authors that have played and still play in this fandom knows no boundaries and I'm going to share it all with you!

***

Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: no pairing, just Vin.
Author on lj: Unknown
Author on website: Linda B’s Magnificent Seven Fanfiction

Why this must be read: This is a very short piece, but very powerful. The story focuses mostly on Vin, and it has one of my favourite characterization; it also manages to draw a very poignant portrait of each one of the Seven.

And beware. It’ll break your heart. It did break mine.

10:53 pm Noise by Dilanne Thomas (PG-13)
Hi I'm Aingeal and I will once again be driving for due South this month. I'll be mostly reccing Fraser/Vecchio slash but hopefully there will be a little bit for everyone. In fact I'm starting off not with slash but with gen.

Fandom: due South
Pairing: none, Fraser & Vecchio gen
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: An Archive of her fanfic (various fandoms)
Why this must be read: This is a wonderful gen story for the insights we get into Fraser's character. Fraser is finding it hard to cope with the city noise but what happens when he loses that completely?

We see Ray Vecchio caring for his friend who once agian is keeping things close and won't reveal the extent of what has happened straight away but Ray keeps pushing and finally Fraser lets him in to help.

We see how stubborn Fraser can be at keeping things quiet and how stubborn Ray is at getting to the truth. It's a lovely example of their interactions.

Note this isn't the fic I originally recced but that one had been recced before so this is another by the same author.
