07:01 am Latine Loqui Coactus Sum by Aloysia Virgata (PG-13)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: Vignette
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aloysiavirgata
Author Website: Fic Website
Why this must be read:  Aloysia is one of the best writers in TXF fandom, and this short piece is one of my favorites.  It just really makes me laugh, to put it simply.  Mulder and Scully are forced to see a partnership counselor and they do not make it easy for her.  The banter is spot on and Aloysia's Mulder is always the best.  The dialogue between them is never forced and their unspoken agreement to stymie the therapist is hilarious.  It's a great little fic that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

09:44 am The Two of Us in Sympathy by Petronelle (Adult)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Superman/Batman (Clark/Bruce); Clark/Lois mentioned, no infidelity
Length: medium: 2600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] petronelle
Author Website: Dignity. Always Dignity.
Why this must be read:
My last rec was by [livejournal.com profile] petronelle, too, but that's because I couldn't between these two stories. The other one had an unusual dynamic, and this one has an intriguing premise (Clark finds Bruce undercover as a hooker, LOL), and an amazing amount of subtext as part of the role playing. Clark/Superman and Bruce/hooker/Batman all teasing one another, and playing with personae--fantastic!

03:00 pm Thirteen Christmas Traditions by Resonant. (NC-17)
Since December will be Small Fandoms month here at CV, I thought I’d send you a sweet holiday story a wee bit early.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Blair/Jim
Length:   24K
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] resonant8
Author Website: in medias Res

Why this must be read:  As always with Resonant, it’s the banter!  Cheerful, fun, sexy banter. It all starts with a grumbly tired Jim coming home right before Christmas:

 

First Tradition: Snow )

 

And so ends Jim’s hope for a restful holiday, thank goodness. The story really highlights what was so good about the show – the easy give and take between the two men; Blair’s endless exuberance; Jim’s cheerful indulgence. And, although mistletoe is one of the traditions, neither man needs it in this lovely first-time tale

Thirteen Christmas Traditions

Like this bit of holiday cheer? Don’t forget to tell the author!

09:37 pm Ties That Bind by The Hoyden (NC-17)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson (Batman/Nightwing), mention of/background Tim/Kon
Length: long: 8200 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thehoyden
Author Website: The Hoyden's Fanfiction
Why this must be read:
This is an adorable story, angst-free, first-time Bruce/adult!Dick from Dick's POV. There's lots of amusing Dick-and-Tim brotherly interaction that made me laugh out loud. Also, the sex between Bruce and Dick is seriously hot and not to be missed. And it's technically sex pollen fic, so that's another ticky box checked on the list of beloved cliches. :)

Opening scene wherein we find Dick, stripped-down, oiled-up, about-to-be-auctioned-off-as-a-sex-slave )

11:31 pm Duplicity Series by Mina1 (PG)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Characters: Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker
Length: 12,917 words (combined)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] vikkir
Author Website: Fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:

Mina is one of my favorite Stars Wars authors. (I suggest going to ff.net profile and checking out some of her other stories after reading this.) The first of these oneshots, Duplicity, was actually written quite a while ago, but the second was written relatively recently. The author mentioned that she may write more in the Duplicity-verse, but these two are completed oneshots on their own.

What I like about these two stories is that they have a (somewhat) redeemed Anakin/Vader who hasn't gone all mushy as authors tend to make him in some stories. It's actually way different than anything else I've seen out there. To the Empire, he's still Darth Vader, but he also is a part of the Rebellion. However, they only know him as General Wraith, the last Jedi.

The author's summary for Duplicity:
A treachery just a few years after Revenge of the Sith caused Vader to re-assess his loyalties, change his allegiances and step back from the Dark Side. But years later there are a few surprises in store for him - and 'a new hope.'
