12:03 am Last Breath by Firebunny (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe/Clark, a bit of Chloe/Davis
Length: one-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] twistedlyn
Author Website: Author's page on the Two of Us archive
Why this must be read:
Though relatively short, this fic is rather haunting. It takes spoilers from an upcoming episode of the show, and puts a darker little twist on them. It presents Chloe and Clark, and her clear devotion to him, how far she's willing to go, from the twisted point of view of another individual. It's beautifully written, but sort of creepy, which I think is the point.

02:45 am The Heart Afraid by Lillian Morgan (PG-13)
Hey there! I'm Lyr, and I'll be back this month, this time driving the Buffy and Angel van. In this fandom, as in most, I read a wide variety of genres and pairings all across the spectrum of slash, femslash, and gen, so you can expect a pretty varied selection from me. I'm hoping to pull up a few classics I loved that you may not have seen, as well as some newer stories.

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Spike/Buffy/Faith
Length: 2869 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lillianmorgan
Author Website: Only her fic LJ
Why this must be read: Lillian Morgan has a deft hand with characterization, and she can use that to build utterly delicious dramatic tension until everything that happens feels completely real and natural---even inevitable, as I think all the best stories should. The character voices in this story are completely spot-on, the detail work is excellent, and the complex layers of humor and awkward baggage between these three are very well rendered. Also, the hotness quotient? Pretty damn high.

11:16 am A Method for Growing Up by [livejournal.com profile] grand_mimosa (PG)
Fandom: THE MIGHTY BOOSH
Pairing: Howard/Vince
Length: 2053
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] grand_mimosa

Why this must be read:
The writing has a delicate touch and explores the Howard/Vince relationship beautifully. It's about two friends trying to work out the exact boundaries of their relationship and failing miserably. There are some lovely lines in this.

“Howard,” Vince says. “Howard Moon, if you ever outgrow me, I’ll pull your stomach out through your ear.”

And

Vince always waited for Howard, and Vince always waits for Howard; it’s enough to make Howard close his eyes during the middle of the day and hope it all lasts at least a little bit longer.

04:15 pm That Thing Castiel Does With His Tongue by goth_clark (R)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Length: 1700 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] goth_clark
Author Website: Fic tag
Why this must be read: This is one of my favorite Dean/Castiel smutty pieces. Castiel's voice is done really well, and it was one of those stories I found entirely by chance and loved. Also, Castiel apparently likes suspenders-who knew? ;) Spoilers for 4.17.

07:46 pm Headache by Clair Beaubien (PG)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: None
Length: 3,300 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Author's stories on Blackraptor
Why this must be read:

I'm in a warm-and-fuzzy-needing mood this month, so my recs are going to be pretty gooey. I'm starting out with - yes - a headache fic. Set immediately after Sins of the Past, Vin's feeling poorly, and the others tend to him, body and soul.

A taste )

10:29 pm Wrong Things Right by Regina (R)
Hi, fangirlies and boys:-) Aphrodite, here. I'm back, again, on the crack van patrol. This month, I'll be driving the crackvan for the largely popular Poplash fandom. My focus will be on 'Nsyncslash although I might throw in some crossovers with BSB. I'll be digging into the depths of the net to bring forth some of my classic favorites from the past since I love being nostalgic and all. So, without further ado, here's my first rec:

Fandom:
POPSLASH ('NSYNCSLASH)
Pairing: JC Chasez/ Justin Timberlake
Length: Short Novella
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: 
Blood and Fire
Why this must be read: This is the very first 'Nsyncslash I ever read.  It left such an impression on me that I wanted more and more of this addiction. Written in 2000, it was first posted on Nsyncslash Yahoogroup before Yahoo decided to challenge the First Amendment Right and deleted any and all Yahoogroups deemed inappropriate. Regina then launched her website where all her stories were posted. Website is long gone, but thanks to the Wayback machine, it's alive, again.

Wrong Things Right


People once believed that when someone dies a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. And sometimes... just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.
