10:10 am Pass Me Another Gravy Boat by QueenC (PG-13)
Welcome to the Smallville crack van, still going strong after all these years. I'm [livejournal.com profile] ancarett, your driver for May, and I'll be taking you down some less-travelled roads this month with recs that focus on the women of the series. Enjoy!

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: References to Lex/Lana, Chloe/Jimmy & Lois/Oliver
Length: 800 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] all_you_wanted
Author Website: same
Why this must be read: With all the angst and romantic disappointment that's a staple of the show, something's gotta give. Chloe and Lois find a therapeutic outlet for their annoyances with their erstwhile guys when Lana, fresh from her divorce from Lex, joins in. Much fun is had by all, with nary a guy around to spoil matters. Good thing, too!

Hallo, I think you remember me. My name is Weronika and I will be sharing with you my favorite stories this month. I hope you like at least some of them and as May is a month of love, so... well, you know me.

Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: 84k
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: HERE
Why this must be read:

This time I will start with my favorite author. There were many attempts to write a story where one of the partners has to hurt the other one in order to save his/their life, but to write it so that the reader does not feel sick after reading it, is quite an achievement. And this particular author never lets her readers down. It's just a must for any h/c lover.
"Screw the assignment. The assignment didn't include me working you over."

Starsky's eyes gentled. "'S not your fault, Hutch. 'M okay – tougher 'an that. Gotta get this guy. Go." And he gave Hutch a weak shove.

Another wrenching choice. "Starsk," Hutch said softly, reaching out to touch a stubbled cheek as much for his own comfort as his partner's.

And jerked back as Starsky flinched, something that could only be fear flitting through his eyes.

Hutch stumbled back a step, gutted. That look… Well, it made it easier, in a way. No matter what he said, Starsky obviously didn't trust Hutch. Every movement had to be reminding him of what his partner had done to him that evening. Leaving him would probably be the kindest thing Hutch could do. He turned away, the weight on his chest making it hard to breathe.

"Hutch, wait a minute." Starsky was struggling to get up.

"Stay there. I'll call for help," Hutch managed. And then he ran.

At least with his ragged breaths and his pulse pounding in his ear, he wouldn't be able to hear Starsky not calling after him.

11:17 pm Not A Keeper by subtleshadeofgrey (PG-13)
Fandom: Magnificent 7
Pairing: none
Length: 59k

Why this must be read: Robert Larabee and his wife Maggie are killed in a car accident leaving behind six sons. Josiah and Chris are awarded joint custody of the two youngest, Vin and JD by Roberts old friend Judge Orrin Travis. Nobody is aware as yet of the existence of Ezra.



Here a scene from it -

Chris looked down and Ezra stared up, and up!

‘Courage Ezra!’ he commanded himself as he locked his pale jade green eyes with cold hazel ones; eyes which were glaring yet puzzled. Ezra considered it a good thing that he knew Death to be a skeleton in a black cloak with a scythe because if he were blond haired and in Levis Ezra would know for certain that he was facing his last moments. As it was all his skills deserted him and he froze. He berated himself for acting like a little kid whilst completely ignoring the fact that he was one. Maude had raised a survivor, a smart operator, not a child! It did no good, he still couldn’t move or speak.

“Oh for goodness sake Big Dog, you’re scaring the sh…stuffing out of the little mite” laughed Buck as he shoved his older brother aside. This man was even taller! But his blue eyes were friendly and sparkly.

Hullo [livejournal.com profile] crack_van! Welcome to another month of Merlin goodness. The show is about to kick of in Australia so check it out if you're an Aussie and you haven't already had a look, watch it! It is the lol-est of shows.
I've never driven the van before so let me know if I'm doing things wrong.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur (past Merlin/Will, slight Arthur/Superman)
Length: 17, 250
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch
Author Website: merlin bbc tag
Why this must be read:

Two words: Superhero. AU.
More words: This Camelot is part Watchmen, part The Incredibles, all parts awesome. Superheroes are outlawed by power-mad Mayor Uther Pendragon and Arthur is his disaffected, tabloid fodder son who has a Superman comic hidden under his floorboards.

Arthur starts becoming a target for all sorts of nutty supervillians and a masked hero keeps turning up in the nick of time to save him and Arthur begins to develop a serious crush on him. Unfortunately, he's also falling in lust with Merlin, the kitchen boy.

Excerpt time! )
