Fandom: STAR WARS Pairing: Anakin/Obi-Wan, background Anakin/Padmé Length: ~62,000 Author on LJ: crazundeadfairyAuthor Website: Defensive Walls Why this must be read: This was the first multi-chapter fic I ever read for Star Wars, and even now years later it's one that re-read every so often. Obi-Wan Kenobi has been killed during his mission to destroy General Grievous, or at least that's what Anakin and everyone else thinks. This seemingly small deviation from canon has serious repercussions as Anakin starts to question if Palpatine was ever on his side at all, and Obi-Wan fights to bring Anakin back from the dark side.

Fandom: AMERICAN IDOLSLASH (SEASON 7) Pairing: David Cook/Jason Castro Length: 1996 words Author on LJ: empressive Author Website: All of the author's writings can be found at her livejournal as well as here. Why this must be read: this is among my all time favorite Cookstros with plenty of smut. This is what Jason Castro is all about-bathrobes, eyelashes, and David Cook. Cute, romantic, and highly erotic.
An Epic Tale of Bathrobes and EyelashesIt was late – far too late for good little Idol-hopefuls to be awake. For the two young men entwined together on a small bed clearly not meant for two, the lateness of the hour didn’t matter. The room was warm, the air thick and slightly hazy with the sweet-smoky scent of incense. In the dim, golden light of the bedside lamp the two drowsed together lazily, too content and too wrapped up in one another to move.
David stared silently down at the serene face below him, callused fingers trailing gently over a delicate cheekbone. For a boy, Jason really had such ethereal features; it made David’s hands feel big and clumsy in comparison whenever he touched the younger man. | |

Soooo... last rec of the month, thanks for letting me drive for a little while... *grin* Fandom: BUFFY Pairing: N/A Length: Short fic Author on LJ: Unknown(though there is a vatwoman on LJ - not sure that it is the author though) Author Website: Unknown Why this must be read:Again, as with my previous rec, I think that sometimes the human characters are all too often ignored...

Fandom: Magnificent Seven Pairing: Ezra/Vin Length: 15,008 Author on LJ: Unknown Author's website: Katherine's web pageWhy this must be read: It's the 4th of July and there's a celebration at Four Corners. The first part of the story is from Chris' POV as he views the town and it's people during the celebration. I like the glimpses of various members of the team as they enjoy all the fun of the carnival and really enjoy this look at a comfortable and indulgent Chris. The second part of the story is about Vin's search for Ezra and how the two men discover they have lots more in common than they first thought. The backstory for both men is well drawn and I like how the author describes Vin's fascination with Ezra. The sex is hot, the smidgen of hurt/comfort is just right and the last portion winds the story up perfectly. Excerpt: ( Read more... )Although I've found bits of the author's works in other places, the bulk of her fic seems to be only on the Geocities website. So check it out while you still can... Fireworks, friendship and other associations. | |

Fandom: Tour of Duty Characters: Zeke Anderson/Myron Goldman Length: 1300 words Author on LJ: majorbratAuthor webpage: Notes From the UndergroundWhy this is a must read: Simply put- it's incredibly hot. Yeow. Excerpt: My stomach flutters and I know now that I want more than this. I want to be naked. I want him naked and straining above me. I want him sliding against me in the most intimate of ways. I reach down and grab his wrist, gently pulling his hands away from me. Turning in his embrace, I stare into a pair of dark blue eyes gone almost black from desire. I lift the hand that held me so tightly, so perfectly and kiss his fingers. He makes his first sound, a low rumble that starts in his chest, then comes tumbling out past his lips. I slip his finger into my mouth, swirling my tongue over it before nibbling, taking it farther in. I slide it in and out of my mouth in the most perverse of ways before taking the next finger in with it. He's not having any of it. Interlude | |

Thanks for a wonderful turn at the van for this month! To be honest I hadn't had the time to post all the recs I wanted, especially the ones from the recent DC_Kink. But it's my hope that if you enjoyed the recs you'd consider signing up to drive the crack_van for DC Comics some time. It'd be a terrible shame if we were to run out of drivers. Fandom: DC COMICS Pairings: Guy/Kyle Length:1003 Author on LJ: perpet_fic Author Website: n/a Why this must be read:First, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner are my favourite Green Lanterns. The two make a great team, playing off each other's strengths and weaknesses in a friendly and teasing manner. Second, it's only natural that I should have a soft spot for Guy/Kyle buddy fics where they become more than friends, right? perpet_fic doesn't disappoint in this lovely fic which brilliantly showcases their friendship, their lives as Green Lanterns, and their growing feelings for each other. It's guaranteed to make you laugh at their antics and smile at their moments of tenderness. And Now, by Accident, a Couple [Or, Oa's Been Quiet, and Guy and Kyle Act Like Dudes] | |

Fandom: Bandom Pairing: Bob Bryar/various bandom dudes, some threesomes Length: Long series of 10 unrelated ficlets (10,300 words) Author on LJ: arsenicjadeAuthor Website: Most Dangerous PoisonWhy this must be read:This much Bob all at once was a wonderful treat. The ficlets vary in pairing, tone, rating, and plot, but all showcase the charms of one Bob Bryar with enough detail for me to re-read this many times. If I had to pick out favorites it would be the ones with Brian and with Spencer, but I loved the Bob/Jepha/Brendon ficlet, and the one with Gabe made me grin a lot. The one with Pete was especially sweet. Reading Rainbow postBob/Brendon/Spencer, redBob/Mikey/Brian, aquamarine Bob/Spencer/Gerard, pinkBob/Gabe, tealBob/Brian, purpleBob/Jepha/Brendon, blueBob/Brendon, purple (Warning for possible trigger WRT eating disorders) Bob/Mikey, purpleBob/Brian/Pete, blackBob/Spencer, green or yellow | |

Fandom: THE X-FILES Pairing: Mulder/Scully Length: 5k or so Author on LJ: scarletbaldyAuthor Website: See LJ Why this must be read: For my last XF rec on this go, I thought I'd fast-forward again to the I Want to Believe era of fanfic. Fair warning, there be SPOILERS for the 2nd XF movie in this rec. ( in case you haven't seen it )There's a lyrical beauty to this short story, and it hits the right notes with characterization. You'll recognize this Mulder and Scully, even if you didn't see the film. These are the characters I remember and still love, with scars dulled into twisted tissue, but not overwhelming them.

Fandom: POPSLASH Pairing: Chris/Joey Author on LJ:? Author Website:http://www.waxjism.org/vanitas/fics.htmlWhy this must be read:A story set back before the guys were famous. Chris watches Joey get turned down by a girl at a club, and is amused. He takes Joey home and somehow, things change. ( Read more... )There are a couple of peculiar typos, but it's a well-written and funny story, with Chris's ability to chatter incessantly *whatever* is happening providing the title. Lighthearted and fun. Big Mouth | |
