11:52 am Fallen by crazyundeadfairy (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Anakin/Obi-Wan, background Anakin/Padmé
Length: ~62,000
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] crazundeadfairy
Author 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.

Why this must be read: who doesn't love a litte kink? I know I do and this story has plenty of kink to satiate the appetite for those into bdsm-lots of kinky sex below...

Houseboy and His Master


"Sir?" Jason was startled as he saw Mr. Johns stand in tight leather pants, looking firmly at him.

"Take the groceries into the kitchen, go wash up in your bathroom, and meet me in my bedroom as soon as possible," Mr. Johns said seriously. "And Jason...be thorough." He nodded before disappearing into the other room.

Jason swallowed hard and made his way into the kitchen. He had seen his boss stern before, but never like

03:00 pm Beauty is the Beast by Tabi J (PG-13)
Last day of driving the Crack Van. Thank you to the mods for allowing me to drive the van and introducing everyone to my new muse with the help of some of the best writers in the fandom...I'll be flooding the comm with the remaining fics in just a moment. Sorry the onslaught of recs but the internet has been sporadic this past month. Yesterday I was sans internet for half a day so I'll post all the recs now just in case the interent is out, again.

Length: 4563 words
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Author is currently working on her personal website, but in the meantime, you can find author's fics can be found here.
Why this must be read: 'Nysncslash fandom alum, Tabi J, returns to writing fanfiction, once, again, and her first fanfiction in years doesn't disappoint. Beauty is the Beast reads and feels like a movie with tons of action and just enough romance.

Beauty is the Beast


He crashed onto the roof top as the rogue beast dashed to the next.  With a deep grunt of frustration he sprinted after the creature.  As he crossed the surface of the roof tops he left no traces that he had even stepped foot onto the surface.  His dark rust coloured hair was swept back with the wind from his speed.  He leaped to the last roof on the street and chuckled as he trapped the beast.

03:35 pm Safe by Kitty (R)

Pairing: David Cook/Jason Castro
Length: 1822 words
Author on LJ: [info]wakingnitemarex 
Author Website: Author's writings can be found at her own Livejournal.
Why this must be read:  If there's something I love more than good old fashion bdsm, it's good old fashion angst. As a predominant angst writer, I yearned for fics like 'Safe' with all the key elements of making a good hurt/comfort fic. 

Safe

David enters the apartment, and is met by complete and utter silence. Which is.. unnerving, to say the least. Its not the silence of an empty apartment, no, its something entirely different. Hesitantly, David enters the apartment further, and flicks on the light. No one in the living room.

03:40 pm Red Paint and Rain by insanityxspeaks (R)
Fandom: AMERICAN IDOLSLASH (SEASON 7)
Pairing: Michael Johns/Jason Castro
Length: 433 words of pure angst
Author on LJ: [info]insanityxspeaks 
Author Website: Author's writings can be found at her livejournal.
Why this must be read: Oh, another delectable angst fic. Love me some angst. I credit two writers for first introducing me to world of American Idol Slash-slashalove for her erotica and smut and insanityspeaks for her angst. This is the fic that made me a fan of the fandom and its writers. It's short, but filled with so much angst.

Red Paint and Rain


Tears crawled down Jason’s sweet, abused cheeks like rain on a windowpane and Michael had never seen anything so beautiful...

04:04 pm Twitchy in the Toes by writeatmidnight (PG-13)
Fandom: AMERICAN IDOLSLASH (SEASON 7)
Pairing: David Cook/Jason Castro
Length: 8567 words
Author on LJ: [info]writeatmidnight 
Author Website:
Author's writings can be found here as well as at her own Livejournal
Why this must be read:
From the writer of 'Eleventh Hour Lingering', easily the best fanfiction I have read ever, comes 'Twitchy in the Toes'. This is the one of the most feel good fics you'll ever read. It's funny and romantic. It'll keep you smiling and rooting for the boys and when the fic is finally over, you wish there was more because it's that good.  There are too many good parts of the story to go over. Just read and enjoy it.

Twitchy in the Toes

The first time was an accident.

David blames all of it on Ford, and the rest of it on Brooke and Kristy Lee for insisting they keep playing after the Ford shoot had ended and the cameras had been packed away.

Archie bowed out when touch football somehow turned into tackle football. Something about homework.

The rest of it could only be blamed on the sunset. It was that time of night around dusk, when the sun tickled the tops of the trees and sent little stray rays of light right into David’s eyes, blinding him for a couple seconds.

04:38 pm Poetry by Ovidien
Fandom:  AMERICAN IDOLSLASH (SEASON 7)
Pairing:  David Cook/Jason Castro aka Cookstro
Length:  692 word count one-shot
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] ovidien 

Author Website: Fiction at three, Author's Tag at Cookstro, Author's Page at Castrofics
Why this must be read: Ovidien is one the most poetic writers I've had the pleasure of the reading. 'Poetry' is finely crafted with such great prose that Ovidien is known for. This fic defines Jason Castro's beauty-poetry-through his lover's eyes, David Cook.

Poetry


They are both naked, save for a corner of duvet which covers the lower half of Jason’s calf. Summer is hot in Los Angeles, but despite the air conditioning it’s still warm in the room. The windows are closed, though, so they can be aired a little later. The curtains are open a crack, just a crack. The sky is pink. The ocean audible.

06:10 pm "Willow, as She Weeps" by vatwoman (PG)
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... Here is a beautiful short fic about Giles and his thoughts after "Grave."

It is a moving and thoughful look at the Watcher's character and feelings as he and his young charges are recovering in the aftermath of great pain and heartbreak.

Enjoy!

07:29 pm Fireworks, friendship and other associations by Katherine (NC17)
Fandom: Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Ezra/Vin
Length: 15,008
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author's website: Katherine's web page

Why 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.

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...

07:53 pm Interlude by MajorBrat (NC17)
Fandom: Tour of Duty
Characters: Zeke Anderson/Myron Goldman
Length: 1300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] majorbrat
Author webpage: Notes From the Underground
Why 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.

07:56 pm And Now, by Accident, a Couple [Or, Oa's Been Quiet, and Guy and Kyle Act Like Dudes] by perpet_fic
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: [livejournal.com profile] 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? [livejournal.com profile] 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.

08:34 pm Reading Rainbow by Arsenic (R Overall)
Fandom: Bandom
Pairing: Bob Bryar/various bandom dudes, some threesomes
Length: Long series of 10 unrelated ficlets (10,300 words)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] arsenicjade
Author Website: Most Dangerous Poison
Why 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.

09:22 pm The Lists of Clay by Scarletbaldy (PG-13)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: 5k or so
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] scarletbaldy
Author 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

Why 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.

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.
