09:48 am The Endless Knight ~ Honor Restored ~ by Brit (R)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: long
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: HERE
Why this must be read:

It's an AU story with at twist in the end. If you like AU, it's a must. If you don't like them, read it all the same – the end surprises in more than one way. And what do we have there? We have a man whose name, past and destiny is unknown and who is trying to find peace of mind in his new home. Fortunately he is not alone. He finds a real friend, but will their friendship last when the past is revealed?

A page for the monastic brothers rode out bearing a white flag of peace to greet our group as soon as we were mid-field before the gated walls. As the highest-ranking officer, Starski cantered forward, brandishing the banner of Kalif before him. Something within me rose with hope and pride as we watched him ride out, the blue and gold of the crown streaming above his head. Here was a man I could follow into battle, serve with my life for a cause and country we believed in. He was a man of virtue, a man of honor.

A man I called brother, friend.

Why this must be read: A delightful bodyswap cliche-fic that *knows* it's a cliche-fic and, therefore, never takes itself too seriously.

05:14 pm Stops Along the Way by Meryn (NC17)
Fandom: Tour of Duty
Characters: Myron Goldman/Zeke Anderson
Length 3292 words
author on LJ No LJ
author website: Notes from the Underground
Why this is a must read: Based on the slashiest episode (The Road to Long Binh) of Tour of Duty, this is a fun look at the relationship of Zeke and Myron. And although it's fun, Meryn is also careful to remind everyone how dangerous it is for these two men to be in a relationship in Vietnam.

Excerpt: Myron had responded to that second kiss; it'd become desperate and deep, as if each man tried his damnedest to live a lifetime in the moments they had left. Such a simple beginning, before their miracle came through and the NVA pulled back for reasons they'd never know.

They'd both been visibly stunned on the chopper ride back to base. Zeke sat there facing the L-T, though neither of them made eye contact, not with each other or anyone else.

05:24 pm They Work Well Together, by swooning4a_r, rated M
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Zarek/Roslin, slight A/R undertones
Length: 1,279 words
Author on lj: [profile] swooning4a_r 
Author Website: Her fic archive. 
Why this must be read: Zarek/Roslin is one of those twisted little "guilty pleasure" ships. This well-written and in-character piece examines Tom's feelings on his relationship with Laura and his position in her government. Even if this ship isn't your cup of tea, I would give it a try. It made me a shipper. 

Excerpt:

They worked well together.

He did everything she told him to do, and although he didn’t always do so without complaint, they both knew what the ultimate outcome would be once she gave an order. She knew he didn’t want to be booted out an airlock. He knew she and Adama were perfectly willing to flush him away if they deemed it in the best interest of the fleet; in fact, he knew that the only reason he’d avoided that treatment was Laura’s interest in keeping him on. To work for her. Her second-in-command, in title at least.

Strange, how he was as good as invisible once he’d accepted her terms and she had resumed the top office. He did her work invisibly, which was often useful to her, so at least he was being of use. A cog in the machine, which was the last role he would have ever envisioned for himself… sometimes it sickened him to realize he was good at it.

They Work Well Together

11:41 pm The Lent Effect by Carlanesses (R)

Sorry everyone.  I was on vacation last week and didn't have the computer time I thought I would.  I'll try and make the lack of recs up to you.

Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Length: ~4,500
Author on LJ: No LJ
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: Quite simply - it's funny.  Take Lent, a dare, two teenaged boys deciding that they can go without masturbating for two weeks, add an unexpected alien side-effect, put in a dash of sexy Lex, and a smidge of alcohol.  Mix them all together and what comes out is a funny, light-hearted read with a bit of hotness to add spice.
