01:30 am Equally Cursed and Blessed (PG-13)
Hi, I'm Luthe and I'm back to take you on a second tour of a galaxy far, far away. So put on your crash webbing and let's jump into hyperspace!

Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: none
Length: 150k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] vikkir
Author Website: Mina's FF.N page
Why this must be read: I've been waiting to post this fic for a long time. Now that Mina's finally finished with it, I can.

This fic is truly epic. The center is the relationship between Luke and Vader, but there's a lot of adventure and development of minor chracters in there, too. There's also a few dark spots, but what would you expect from a fic as long as this one.

Really, my description doesn't do it justice, but there is so much to tell and I'm trying to avoid spoilers. Just go read it!

07:35 am Vanilla Vodka and Videos by Seraphim_Grace (NC 17)
Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Paring: Yohji x Aya
Length: 3000 Words

Hiya all! I'm RedHedLvr and I'll reccing some Weiss Kreuz for the month of February. As with lots of new drivers, I'm a little nervous with my first time behind the wheel, so if I make any mistakes, just let me know and I'll fix 'em right away.

The ladies of Kritiker have an "A/V club" night with some rather interesting videos of their assassins caught on film. This week's viewing pleasure features Yohji and a very drunk Aya.

Bombay’s cheerful smiling face filled the screen, “hello ladies, I am pleased to present tonight’s feature presentation, Balinese gets Abyssinian drunk, as I’m sure you know it has long since been a request of the entire Kritiker A/V group to catch images of Abyssinian, or Red Rook, as he was once known, and it seems that without outside help you were incapable of this. So I present Weiss gets Abyssinian drunk and naked with Balinese.”

01:51 pm A Wise and Whirling Heart by kalliopeia (PGish)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kalliopeia
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] kallific
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] kalliopeia had been on my flist a long time before I discovered that she writes fan fiction (under [livejournal.com profile] kallific), and I thought this was her best piece. I was surprised to see at the time that it hadn't received any other comments.

Anyway, someone would have to clean up the blood and gore in the Hub post-"Exit Wounds," and it makes sense that the someone would be Ianto. It's a plot bunny that seems like it should have been obvious and necessary--yet, I've never seen anyone else write it before.

04:55 pm Lessons from Yesterday by demotu (PG-13)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Bit of Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, but no more than you'd get in canon.
Length: 6,131 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] demotu
Author Website: Fic Masterlist at [livejournal.com profile] demotu_writes
Why this must be read: Sometimes I think Torchwood can't decide if it wants to be serious drama or good crack--and often fails at the former. This insightful, gorgeous ghost story fills in the emotional gaps left by "Exit Wounds." It literally made me cry. (I'm not just mistakenly using "literally" for "figuratively," either. I had to reach for the box of tissues.)

05:22 pm Prove Them Wrong by Chalcopyrite (R)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Lance/Nick
Length: approx 10,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] chalcopyrite

Why this must be read:

I kick off this month of reccing with the story that was written for me in this year's Popslash SeSa, Make The Yuletide Gay, for it is wonderful.

It's a reunion story, but not an instant-happiness story in which everything is sparkly and easy and smooth. It's like herding cats, Lance thinks. In fact, it's not absolutely clear whether it's really going to work at all. And meanwhile the guys go off to a bar for some fun, and some of Backstreet are there... it's not that simple, of course. But this is a fun, sexy, intelligent story that's written in a very grown-up way. A great read.

07:58 pm Wind Up by tex
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Length: 3500 words
Author on LJ:  [livejournal.com profile] tex
Author Website: LJ memories
Why this must be read:

Oh c'mon, it's a Western AU. With Fraser as the outlaw and Ray as the sheriff - do I really have to say more than that? Seriously?
Unfortunately, and I mean that in the best possible way, this was meant as part one of a larger story which didn't get written. Yet. Maybe we can bribe [livejournal.com profile] tex to do it after all:). It's a Stand Alone, though.

11:01 pm Undercover, sex parties, and why communism doesn’t work by Rainer76 (Brown Cortina - Adult/18) .
Hi and welcome to my month of recs for the Life on Mars fandom. Let me first say if you are new to Life on Mars please look back at the stories already featured as there have been some fabulous recs already. I hope you enjoy the stories I have chosen for you this month.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam/Gene/OFC, Sam/Gene
Length: approx 10000 words in total
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rainer76
Author Website: Fic List at Lifein1973
Why this must be read: because, quite simply, it is a superb, engrossing and memorable piece of writing. The story is based around episode 2.4 but changes the sex party scenario slightly to give us a threesome with Sam, Gene and Mrs Luckhurst. It is wonderfully, beautifully hot, uses gorgeous language, creates a compellingly realistic situation, and the characterisations of Annie, Gene and Sam are spot on. The author warns for borderline BDSM (and it isn't very explicit). Read it and I guarantee you will love it.
