03:24 am VID REC: Star Wars - When you taught me how to dance/Let me teach you how to dance
Vidder Sue_chose_this
Musical Artist: Katie Melua/Ewan McGregor
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sue_chose_this
Vidder's Website: on her live journal
Pairing: Qui-Gon JInn/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Why this vid kicks ass:
Sue_chose_this makes awesome vids and this one is no exception. The images she uses go beautifully with the words of the music and together they show Obi-Wan remembering Qui-Gon and what Qui-Gon's guidance still means to him throughout his life after Qui-Gon's death. And the vid goes even beyond that....

You can see the vid on her lj page, but I recommand you use the generous opportunity she offers to download it to your computer and set it to big screen.

03:39 am All The Broken Pieces Series by Princess Tyler Briefs (PG13-R)
Fandom: NARUTO
Pairing: Kakashi/Iruka
Author on LJ: unknown
Length: Epic - 100,000 +
Author website: PrincessTyler Briefs
Why this should be read:

When Tsunade bets Asuma that Kakashi can teach Iruka to be a jonin in two months, Iruka's life is thrown into chaos. But along the way, the Leaf Village's favorite teacher discovers a new way of seeing the Copy-Cat Ninja.

An old-fashioned love story with romance and danger that just happens to take place btw ninjas, this will make you grin. PrincessTyler Briefs makes these two characters play off each other so well. Swoon!!! ;-) And while All The Broken Pieces is the largest part of the series, don't miss the delightful one-shots that follow.

12:51 pm Rain & Heat by Angeweeks (NC-17)
.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Length: 1859 & 3058 words.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] angeweeks
Author Website: List of stories posted to [livejournal.com profile] lifein1973

Why this must be read:

I thought I’d end my month of driving the Cortina van with another great example of how it’s possible to write PWP and keep everyone beautifully in character.

Gene is a difficult character to capture in stories. Not only is there the matter of his voice, the extraordinary way he has of expressing himself but also a matter of his sense of humour. Ange is amongst the handful of writers in our fandom who nails him every time. Ahem... *g*

Excerpt: “Look. I'm too bloody old to play silly beggars. I'm pretty sure I don't look like the Milk Tray man, so don't expect me to come swinging through yer window with a box of chocolates hanging out me arse. But one of the things I can pride myself on is being honest with my team. So you need to listen carefully to me, Tyler.” He removed a cigarette packet from his pocket, took one out, threw the packet on the kitchen table. He lit up; Sam briefly considered remonstrating with Gene but could see from his demeanour this was not the time to lecture him on health issues.

06:11 pm Red by ofthespider (NC-17)
Fandom: MARVEL COMICS
Pairing: Matt Murdock/Peter Parker
Length: 60,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ofthespider
Author Website: Arachnophilia on FF.N
Why this must be read: Structurally, Red is an oddity. My understanding is that it began as a collection of vignettes and short stories written to prompts from the [livejournal.com profile] un_love_you community. The author eventually organized the bits into a single, long story, discarding those which wouldn't fit, and adding some bridge pieces.

Red is one of the least romantic slash novels I've ever read, and yet one of the most passionate and convincingly characterized. Matt and Peter fall into a sexual relationship out of loneliness and desperation. They are both uncomfortable with what they're doing, yet both want badly to continue. The relationship develops and becomes more affectionate, but never quite loses that edge of 'what the hell are we doing?' even as they become a couple, both privately and publicly.

06:22 pm See How The Light Shines Through Him by perdiccas (R)
Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Sylar/Luke Campbell
Length: 5,669
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] perdiccas
Author Website: Fic List

Why this must be read:
It's dark and angst and beautiful. The premise, Sylar taking Luke with him after he's been rescued from a government facility, let's two normally blood-thirsty and explosive individuals act tenderly towards each other while still remaining in character. As more and more of the past hurts unravels their devotion to one another shines through.

You'll definitely wince more than a few times while reading this, but that's exactly what gives one of the best looks into one of the most violent and gory relationships on the show.

Remember to read the warnings.
