01:08 am Water over Stone by Chrissie [PG13]
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Pairing: [Seigaku] Tezuka Kunimitzu/Fuji Syusuke
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sesame_seed
Website: Sesame Seed Radio.
Rating: [PG13]

Why this fic must be read:

A simple, short and impossibly beautiful story about love winning over ambition, or about the realization of what love actually is as opposed to what a person may dream it might be.

12:31 pm Songvid Oddities: 300 - Vogue
Vidder: Luminosity
Musical artist: Madonna
Pairing: None
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppett
Vidder's website: Luminosity's Vidworks
Why this vid kicks ass: This songvid has received a lot of press, both within and outside of fandom, and yes, every bit of that praise is deserved. In "Vogue," Luminosity has made a gorgeous, clever, blackly humorous commentary on the hyper-masculinity of 300, and it rocks. If you've been stuck on a desert island for the last six months and haven't seen this yet, omg, you have such a treat in store.

01:49 pm Gunpowder by svilleficrecs (PG-13)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Annie Cartwright
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] svilleficrecs
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] svilleficrecs
Why this must be read:

You'd be forgiven, by now, for thinking that the Life on Mars fandom is populated by vicious writers who are just out for blood and insane cackling harridans who want to put the characters into the most unlikely scenario and watch for hilarious results. Well, it's true, at least in part. But we do have our fair share of sweet fic, smoking hot fic and sweet, smoking hot fic. The next two that I'm going to rec here together are of this latter category.

The first, Gunpowder, is part of a multi-fandom trilogy, but can also be read as a standalone. It is a beautiful description of a first kiss. Nothing much happens, but it happens in such a luscious way that it feels palpably real.

01:51 pm What do Girls Do? by dorsetgirl (NC-17)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dorsetgirl
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] dorsetgirl
Why this must be read:

I always think of this fic as being the slash equivalent of Gunpowder (recced below). Again, alleyways feature strongly in this first time fic, as Sam and Gene finally succumb to the obvious.

This is seriously smoking hot, but contains some of the funniest lines I've ever read in a fic that is, to all intents and purposes, a serious piece of smut.

03:02 pm Rampant at Rampart by the E! Chain Gang (NC-17)
Fandom: EMERGENCY!
Pairing: Johnny/multiple OC's
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Emergency! A Celebration
Why this must be read:

Because it's cute. And hot.

Johnny Gage is in the hospital, you see. And his recovery is hampered by all these nurses who want to sleep with him, you see.

And so sex ensues.

Hey, that's why it's called Crack Van!

06:50 pm Relative Terms by drawingblinds (PG)
Fandom: THE HISTORY BOYS
Pairing: Dakin/Scripps
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] drawingblinds
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] drawingblinds is her fic journal.
Why this must be read:

Oh, the human whirlwind that is Dakin, and how all Scripps can really do is stand back and let him happen. [livejournal.com profile] drawingblinds does a great job with Dakin's characterization, his larger-than-life personality and ability to make every situation work out in his favor, whether you like it or not. And she's also got a great handle on Scripps, so deeply in denial and determinedly passive that he has no idea what he wants until it grabs him and kisses him.
