09:55 am Somewhere in the T's and Somewhere in the Night (NC-17) by Pepper Espinoza
Reccer's note: Posting will be light over the next week. I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Fandom: Hot Fuzz
Pairing: Nicholas/Danny
Length: 6906 words combined
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pepperlandgirl4
Author Website: The Pepperverse
Why this must be read:

I don't know who started the Nicholas and Danny figure their shit out while watching a movie trope, but it's a popular one because it works so well, and it fits beautifully with the characters. And, hey! they're already on a couch, so no awkward getting things to the bed moments. This time, the movie is Tombstone, Nicholas is stuck in his head, and Danny is patient. Hotness follows.

This pair of stories, taking place within the same night, should be read together. You then get the dual perspective of Nicholas and Danny's reactions to their changing relationship. I especially love Pepper's Danny. His clear-eyed view of Nicholas belies the hero worship other writers wish to box him into. Her Nicholas, as in the movie, is well aware he over thinks situations, but uses it to his advantage in the second story. Then there's the hotness. Have I mentioned that?

Length: 4,300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thehoyden
Author Website: The Hoyden's Fanfiction
Why this must be read: The Hoyden has already made this fandom her own, and in this delightful confection, the court of Camelot celebrates Misrule, when servants become royalty, Arthur has to fight for Merlin's honour, and everything is topsy turvey in the best possible way.

04:44 pm Gratuitous Joys by few (PG)
Fandom: HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL/VORKOSIGAN UNIVERSE
Pairing: Chad/Ryan
Length: about 9,500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] few
Author Website: just lj
Why this must be read:

I've been in some fandoms that are bursting at the seams with well written crossovers and fusions, but HSM is not one of those. So it makes them all the more precious when they do crop up. As part of the [livejournal.com profile] swingathon fest, [livejournal.com profile] few wrote this fascinating, rich fusion that brings the characters from High School Musical into the Vorkosigan universe of Lois McMaster Bujold. When I first read this fic, I had no prior experience with this 'verse, and I still got swept up in the story and the detailed world. Since my first read, I have delved into these books, and the fic holds up beautifully.

Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.

10:28 pm The simplest solution, by orange_crushed (G)

Fandom: GOKUSEN
Pairing: Shin/Yankumi
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] orange_crushed
Author Website: FF.net Profile
Why this must be read:

This is, quite simply, gorgeous. Post-series, Shin is waiting for Yankumi to really notice him. The story is slow and quiet, and the silences between Shin and Yankumi are filled with depth and meaning.

    Now he’s sitting at her table, watching her grade papers with a deadly expression; his socks are spread out on the heater and it feels funny to be barefoot before her, exposed like this, even though they’re only toes. They were caught in the sudden shower and he’d given her his jacket, and she’d dragged him home for tea and dumplings. Probably just to thank him. She’s dense like that.
