Why this must be read:

Author's Summary:Let's assume the best-case scenario for the gang: they destroy Skynet and live happily ever after. This is one version of their "happily ever after".

This rec involves playing with the timelines again. What happens if the Connors win? This is a realistic look at the costs of winning, if you put everything you are into a battle, what happens when it's over?

Why this must be read:

Author's Summary:"One day, John tells her, you will know more than I do."

This is going to be my last rec while driving the T:SCC van. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

This fic focuses on Cameron, as is fitting I think. She is, after all, the reason (one of them) that the story exists. Machine, but more, not human, something else. She is as complicated as they come, and her relationship with John reflects that depth and complexity.

11:12 am For We Are Broken by Northlight (PG)
Fandom: YAMI NO MATSUEI
Pairing: Hisoka/Tsuzuki
Length: 486 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] anenko
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] anenko_fic

Why this must be read:

Even though it has what amounts to a canonical OTP and a canonical long, plotty get-together story for them, YnM is not a source that lends itself naturally to the romance genre, nor to story forms essentially related to it. This jewel of a story tells you everything you need to know about why.

The length of this story is deceptive: it packs disproportionate emotional force. Disproportionate, that is, in much the same the way that the explosive force of a nuclear weapon is disproportionate.

And if all that weren't enough, well, no writer would want to miss the opportunity to marvel over the sheer virtuosity of Northlight's work. This story is the verbal equivalent of a Bach fugue, as played on the harpsichord: all short plucked notes; theme and variations, all arrayed with a precision that feels at once inevitable and deceptively simple.

Good news today! The lovely [livejournal.com profile] crack_van mods have made Merlin a full time fandom. Yay. You can sign up and take a turn to drive at this post here.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Length: 10,300 words
Author on LJ: Anon (to be announced)
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: I love stories in which magic brings Arthur and Merlin closer together, and this lovely story not only does that, but gives us a tense and exciting battle, and a heartbreaking glimpse into why Arthur needs Merlin so much.

01:18 pm Dewiniaeth by claire-debonair (NC-17)
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Merlin/OMC, Merlin/Arthur
Length: 32,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] claire_debonair
Author Website: fic tag
Why this must be read: Look, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by, um, Holiday Spirit today, so I can't really do justice to this fic. It's a long, plotty genderfuck story, with a Merlin who is utterly engaging, and an Arthur who is rather bemused and noble, but burning hot for Merlin. Classic combination really. *shoos you off to read glorious fic*

08:05 pm Slipping Under, Sliding Down by Ailcia (PG)
Fandom: PROS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 28k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ailcia
Author Website: Ailcia at The Circuit
Why this must be read: Because let’s end this month of Pros recs with someone so young and talented there should be a law against it. Ailcia is one such lass. She has a wonderful talent for pulling moments apart, for getting under the skin of Bodie and Doyle, and for bringing them vividly to life, nuance by nuance.

In this story it’s the lads being the lads, having the occasional uncomplicated bout between the sheets while they go about it, and feeling decidedly smug about it all until a moment at the hospital with a hurt Doyle brings them both up short. Here, I love how she takes a fairly standard fanfic scenario and spins her own brand of gold out of it.

11:51 pm Poker Night Series by Slashalove (NC-17)
Fandom: AMERICAN IDOLSLASH (SEASON 7)
Pairing: David Cook/Michael Johns/Jason Castro
Length: 2 stories series
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] slashalove 
Author Website: All of the author's writings can be found at her livejournal as well as here. She also posts at  Cohnstro and Castrodome.
Why this must be read: Slashalove's gift to the world of American Idolslash is porn and damn does she write them so well. Her popular Poker Night Series is the epitome of porn.  No thought provoking storylines here. Just porn-plain and simple with a little role playing and sometimes tons of bondage. This is hands down the best porn on the block. Even years after reading 'Nsyncslash, no other series tingle my lady parts quite like Slashalove's Poker Night Series. Personal favorite of mine is Poker Night 3"Ride him, cowboy..." Yee-haw!!!

Summary for "Poker Night Series":  The boys play a game of poker and naughtiness ensues.

Read the "Poker Night Series" and please leave feedback for the author.
