06:51 pm Trust and Loyalty by Richefic (PG)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: gen, Gibbs/DiNozzo friendship
Length: ~ 2.200
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] richefic
Author Website: Profile on FF.Net
Why this must be read:

I love episode tags, and I always wondered how Gibbs dealt with the fallout of 6x03. If you did too then this is the right story for you. We get to see that Gibbs and Tony aren't so much boss and subordinate anymore as they are equals. It's a lovely story with the banter the show is so famous for and gives us the pleasure of seeing Gibbs and Tony as friends who can rely on each other.

07:14 pm Ever More Reckless by MerelyMine (NC-17)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Dick Grayson/Tim Drake (Nightwing/RobinIII... sorta)
Length: 7, 800

Author Website: None found

This is identity porn of the best kind. It's full of meta and hot as hell. It also has gorgeous symbolism as the approaching dawn sheds further light on Dick and Tim's relationship. I can't claim to be impartial to this story, as I had the pleasure of beta'ing it, however it's immediately become one of my favorite short-form Dick/Tim stories. There are little moments giving insight into their relationships which reward a re-read, comingled nicely with just sheer hot sex to bliss out on.

08:05 pm 23 Million to One by Kep and Kat (NC-17)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Brian/AJ
Length: 25,733 words
Author on LJ: N/A for both, I checked.
Author Website: Bonejiggity (Kep) and Sanctified Sin (Kat)
Why this must be read: Aside from the fact that the sex is hot (and freaking constant OMG!), this is ultimately a cute story with cute writing. I love the chat room scenes, with the screennames and everything (Yes, I am a dork). I love the way they pretty much give themselves away to each other, but are so oblivious to the other's clues. I love how excited they get at "Oh my God... someone loves me that much?" tl;dr - I'm a sap with a penchant for porn, and this fic hits all my squee buttons.

10:06 pm Then They Came on Brendon's Face, The End, by Disarm_d and Sociofemme (NC-17)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Panic GSF
Length: ~6,850
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] disarm_d and [livejournal.com profile] sociofemme
Author Website: Masterlist of Disarm_d's fic, and Sociofemme's bandom fic tag
Why this must be read: I was hardly going to let this month pass without reccing a) a Panic GSF and b) a PWP, the two are both far too prevalant. There's a lot of really good choices for both, but the challenge for me was finding a PWP that really made me go, "yeah, that's the one," since I generally don't read PWPs. I chose this one because I love, love, love what it reveals to us about Brendon's character, and it's a great example of what [livejournal.com profile] disarm_d calls her "consent" kink, but in ways that don't just take consent for granted. Also, the fic is amazingly hot. Amazingly.

10:10 pm Like Christmas Morning by Manicjoy (R)
Fandom: Psych
Pairing: Gus/Shawn
Rating: R
Length: 1500 words
Author on LJ: manicjoy@lj
Author website: n/a
Why this must be read:
I have a problem with a lot of Shawn/Gus fic. Mostly because while I can see Shawn totally going for it, in an awkward but heartfelt way, I have a hard time imagining Gus going along with it without *some* kind of freakout. (Let's face it, Gus screams at just seeing a naked man).

That being said, Gus loves Shawn. Gus *clearly* loves Shawn. Gus loves Shawn despite every bit of brains and sense of self-preservation he has, despite even his well-honed instinct to run. Gus stays, and is stable, for Shawn. So when I do imagine them together (after that inevitable Gus panic) I like to picture lots of fluffy, coming home type fics.

This story is exactly that. Sweet and little painful, but overall just filled with a lovely sense of trust between the two of them. They can still banter and bicker even during a real;ly awkward morning after.

"What, like you never expected to wake up together after a bender at some point in our friendship."

"No, I can't say I did. That you did worries me."

Shawn didn't appreciate the suspicious look Gus was giving him.



So. Cute.

Like Christmas Morning, But With More Sex and Shame (And Shamelessness)
