01:26 am Killing Time by Joan Curtin (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: no pairing, Chris, Vin
Author on lj: unknown
Author on website: Joan Curtin’s stories at Lady Angel

Why this must be read: I like this story because has a lovely plot, great descriptions and it plays with two subjects commonly used in fanon. Vin’s past as a sniper and Peso irritable nature (which the author both credits to Painted Eyes as portrayed in "For Faith"). The characterizations works very well and it shows the strength and the depth of Chris and Vin’s relationship.

He lay perfectly still, belly pressed flat against the cool rock )

10:44 am Aftermath by Atira Kei (NC-17)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Joe/Methos, implied past Methos/Salzer
Author Website: Story found at The Seventh-Dimension Archive
Why this must be read:

Sometimes you just need something sweet and loving and (relatively) uncomplicated. This is an old favorite of mine, following Joe and Methos through the years as Methos slowly loses his secrets and drops his defenses to a loyal friend who has the potential to be so much more.

Methos sighed, regretting his harsh words to this man. He bent, holding out his hand, careful to hold the other one back, ready to act as a solid surface for this man. "Let me help you."

"I'm all right!" Dawson insisted, eyeing him. "Don't you need to wash that or something? Or do you like leaving the blood stains behind for show?"

Methos' eyes narrowed, his heart began to race once more as he exposed his "injured" hand, ending the pretense. "You know." //How much do you know?//

Dawson nodded. "I had a feeling. The way Don talks about you." He glanced at the immortal's hand. "And now I know I'm right."

10:58 am After Archangel by JiM (NC-17)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Joe/Methos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jimpage363
Author Website: A Sharp Left
Why this must be read:

At the end of Archangel, Duncan ran off crying incoherantly and left Joe and Methos to clean up the mess. This is what happened next.

When Methos laid a hand on his brow, then chest, Joe's skin felt icy. "Damn. You're in shock. And I gave you alcohol! Some doctor I am."

"I figured it was a Victorian cure," Joe joked weakly, then trembled so violently that Methos thought he was convulsing.

03:48 pm Yes, Virginia, There is a Superman by Carcassi (G)
Fandom: Smallville
Title: Yes, Virginia, There is a Superman
Pairing: Chloe/Clark
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] carcassi
Author Website: None that I can find but there is a list of fic here
Why this must be read:

OMG *melt*

Seriously, there's always that one fic that someone writes that you just sit and melt over. It's not dark, it's not angsty, it's not all the things that normally catch us up and carry us off for the ride, the things we insist on to consider it a big deal. But not every fic needs to be and this fic embraces that. It absolutely picked me up and carried me off into an alternate future and left me going "Awwww..." at the end and it was so good? I felt zero guilt for the AWWWW afterward too.

This one is just...*happy sigh* God, I love it.

05:31 pm Can I Help You Get Out Of That? by Bernice (NC-17)
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] iibnf
Author Website: iiBNF Press
Why this must be read: This is essentially a PWP wherein there's a microchip somewhere on Ray and Fraser has to find it. And of course each of them approaches the situation of Ray naked and ready to be searched with longing nad slight frustrayion in equal measure until eventually Fraser makes his move as he follows the clues. There's a lovely payoff at the end when they find out just where the miicrochip was placed.

07:08 pm Clockwork by curtain__call (PG)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: gen
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] curtain__call
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:

I'm not sure how to put into words what I think about this one. It's beautiful, if a little bleak, a look at a possible future where their life is more of the same, their rhythm set and where they have their routine down perfectly. A slow pace, a knack for saying a lot with just a few words... it really is just a lovely read. Best summed up in the author's words, so... Have an extract. )

07:20 pm The Unfinished Universe by Revely (R)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] revely
Author Website: Revely's site
Why this must be read: Revely's already been recced here twice before, but I just couldn't think of leaving this fic out. It's just beautifully written and characterized, so very evocative--it makes me hurt, but in a good way.

This veers off into AU before Per Manum, so This Is Not Happening and DeadAlive haven't happened. Mulder wakes up in an Oregon hospital a year after he was taken; Scully brings their infant son Will with her to Bellefleur, and the three of them drive back home, getting used to each other and this new reality they're immersed in. It's both gorgeous and heartbreaking, the way Mulder and Scully dance around each other, still very certain of some things, but very uncertain of others. As they get closer to home, they get closer to each other, and finally start healing.

11:55 pm Breathless and True by nifra_idril (NC-17)
Fandom: Smallville
Title: Breathless and True
Pairing: Lana/Chloe
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nifra_idril
Author Website: Neon Nights
Why this must be read:

omg.

Why NOT?! Seriously, Chloe/Lana is one of my favorite f/f 'ships. Lana Lang is on her guard with every single man in her life, constantly working an angle, looking for something. But she never finds it and here, we get to see her working a different angle and this time? She's not on her guard, she's open and enjoying it and Chloe Sullivan gets to see what's really behind the facade that Clark fell in love with.

This is a beautifully written story, hot, fun, the characterizations are amazing and seriously *excellent*
