08:41 am They Try by Yorda (PG-13)
Fandom: BAND OF BROTHERS
Pairing: Dick Winters/Lewis Nixon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] yorda_
Author Website: Author's memories
Why this must be read:

After the war Dick Winters took up Lewis Nixon's offer to come with him to New Jersey. While there are a great many (fantastic) New-Jersey-era fics, this is the one that I always find myself coming back to. The complex intimacy between them that captured us throughout the series is revisited with a natural ease that gives this snapshot in time a grace often missing from shorter pieces.

“I thought you were gonna give it up, Lew?”

Dick speaks with a soft voice but Nixon can discern the frustration. He lowers his face and shrugs.

The clock in the hallway sounds two times. Lewis Nixon is drunk and Dick Winters is disappointed.

“I broke a glass, Dick.”

01:24 pm The Cursing Jar by Alexis Gunn (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Lex’s Sentinel Slash Stories

Why this must be read: The basic story here is a familiar one in this fandom: one character pushes; the other pushes back and ups the stakes; the first character calls him on it. Problems follow.

The storytelling, however, is exceptional: Alexis Gunn’s writing always makes you want to keep reading forever and her funny stories (of which this is one) will have tears rolling down your face.

The Cursing Jar looks at how far you can take physical intimacy and still call it ‘friendship’. As we find out we get to see, among many other good things, a blow job under a desk in a not-empty bullpen and a scorchingly hot naked hose-down in William Ellison’s back yard.

Very funny and very hot, with a little angst thrown into the mix for leavening.

A little taste... )

If all this isn’t enough to send you scurrying already, Alexis Gunn’s site, where the link goes, is stuffed full of good things.

03:15 pm Epiphany by dexwebster (R)
fandom: popslash
pairing: Justin/JC
author on lj: [personal profile] dexwebster 
author website: ?
why this must be read:
This was written for the 100 Ways challenge, back in, um 2004 was it? It's a story about JC knowing Justin better than Justin knows JC. And to quote the author: I wanted to see if I could do a story about spanking without actually having a spanking on-screen.

Excerpt: They'd all been quiet. That was the only connection Justin could find between them. There had been other girls JC had slept with, but the ones he'd done that with--as far as he could tell, every one of them had been quiet, unassuming. He always tried to make sure he got a room next to JC's whenever he was in the single, just to be positive.

03:27 pm Bad Catholics by falseeyelashes (R)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: Chase/Cameron
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] falseeyelashes
Author Website: at her LJ

Why this must be read:

Chase/Cameron is pretty. And messed up and dysfunctional. Not to mention hot. Very, very hot. This story is E, all of the above. A post-Hunting methsex AU, this is *painfully* beautiful. Chase loves and Cameron doesn't (can't) and they just keep fucking it up.
