Pairing: Kara&Dee

Why this must be read:

This is one of my favorite stories, both for its sympathetic and spot-on portrayal of Dee (and Kara), but also for the lovely and unexpected connection between the two. It was written prior to the start of season four, so much of its optimism for both characters is sadly AU, but a pleasure to read nonetheless. Kara is recently back from the dead, and the Admiral orders Dee to help her draw a map back to Earth. Dee, pragmatic and loyal as always, reluctantly complies.

Dee wished that better end for Kara, even if she wouldn't believe it from her. The moment Kara had returned with her dramatic statement about taking them to Earth Dee had known. Kara was touched by the sun. It explained so much: how no one could see anything or anyone beyond her, how she spiraled into her own destructive patterns. Kara's return was when Dee finally gave up being jealous of what Kara had, what Dee had wanted... because life had taught her that those who were touched by the sun so often burned away.

01:52 pm Queered by draycevixen (Brown Cortina - Adult / 18)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Length: approx 1500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen
Author Website: Link to the memories at Life in 1973 community
Why this must be read: Gene is in denial over his attraction to Sam and Sam sets out to prove Gene does want him. This is a wonderful piece of writing that ranges from being light-hearted to erotic to disturbing. It shows a Sam who does whatever is needed to make his point and a Gene whose desires and determination not to give in are warring against each other. Fantastic Gene and Sam characterization and vivid imagery make this dark but delicious story that you should read right now.
 
The author warns for: Very faint shading of non-con/dubious consent around the edges. Nothing hard core.

There is also a sequel for you to read called Aichmophobia.

Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Length: 296 words

Author Website: Fanfiction by Akamine_chan
Why this must be read: We are continuing with the snippet theme today. In general I don't read angst unless it comes along with a happy ending. I avoid death fics like the plague. But there is something about an angsty snippet that occasionally I can't resist. The angst is sharper, the hard truths more bitter because you know it can't be fixed. [livejournal.com profile] akamine_chan is master with both angst and snippets. Reading this leaves as hopeless and despondent as Fraser, but the beautiful way she goes about breaking your heart makes it all worth it.

Why this must be read:

This is probably one of the few stories out there in which I like 10.5/Rose - it's a lighthearted and funny yet telling read, and the ending line is just absolutely brilliant.

Pairing: Anakin Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Why this vid must be seen:


"I wanna play with fire ... ", oh, yeah, Ani and Obi, go for it! This vid is raw and real and the thumping disco beat will have you on your feet, ready for anything that this club can throw at you. It's a heady experience and right in tune for a Friday night. Be ready with a fan at the end of about 3.2 minutes. The non-Star Wars clips interspersed are from Queer As Jedi, um, no, make that Queer As Folk.

Why this must be read:

This piece while short, is a nicely written look into Booth's mind. It is a lovely, detailed picture of what he feels and observes about his partner and how it effects him. In short, it is an excellent character study and a fine read. *grin*

Pairing/Characters: Booth; Brennan; Booth/Brennan
Length: Short Fic

Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] dfasgbaf is the author's community
Why this must be read:

This one is just a fun, humorous little fic that is sooooo Booth and Brennan. It is a scene that feels like it could have come straight from an episode. The author is very good at capturing Brennan's total lack of respect for Booth's personal boundaries and his responses to that. *grin* It is simply a fun little fic about our favorite non-couple.

Go. Read. Enjoy. *grin*

Pairing: Brendon/Ryan
Length: 17, 554 words

Author Website: Pardon Our Nerds
Why this must be read:

Because its an awesome (and realistic) look at what might have happened. It flows really well, and it's snarky and angsty but also really happy - very much an emotional rollercoaster. And the sex is hot, too. Also, Zee is just a plain awesome writer. Go read all her fics.
