09:10 am The French Inhaler by OneMillionAndNine (NC-17)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: vignette
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] onemillionnine
Author Website: OneMillionAndNine--The Fanfiction
Why this must be read: OneMillionAndNine. She's brilliant and infuriating, funny and heart-breaking, angst-ridden and erotic, often all in the same story, sometimes even in the same sentence. This season four vignette is about the tragedy of the cancer arc: the denial is so thick you can eat it, they both need it, and yet it keeps them from having something more.

02:18 pm Conversational Japanese, Plus Frogs by James (PG-13)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Tosh & Ianto, Jack/Ianto
Length: ~6800 words.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] zortified
Author Website: gila's cave / [livejournal.com profile] gilascave / James on AO3, James on Teaspoon
Why this must be read:

This is a sweet and funny story where forced togetherness brings Tosh and Ianto closer, to the later bafflement of the rest of the team.

Excerpt: Ianto smiled, then waited as Toshiko and Gwen came up the stairs to Jack's office. Jack looked over, and from the look on his face Ianto knew he'd guessed their arrival was why Ianto hadn't answered. Ianto waited until the two ladies came in, then he looked right at Tosh and said, "Jack wants to know if we had sex."

There was a pause, then they both broke out in laughter. Ianto felt the echoes of that day, hysterical giggles pushing the air out of his lungs until his stomach hurt. Tosh was gripping Gwen's shoulder, using it to hold herself up as she laughed.

10:39 pm Mind Sex by nowhack [NC-17]
Fandom: HEROES
Characters: Matt/Peter
Length: 1,800 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nowhack
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] nowhack
Why this must be read: This story was written for one of the Heroes Anonymous Kink Memes, and I keep coming back to read it again and again. After Peter rescues Matt, they end up winding down by using telepathy is a rather unorthodox, yet extremely pleasurable manner. The way nowhack describes Matt and Peter pushing into each other's mind, making something completely non-physical into a wonderfully visceral experience, is incredibly hot to read! Short, hot, and sweet.

10:45 pm And Then There Were Seven by Anneack (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: none
Length: ~11500 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: Anneack's stories at Blackraptor
Why this must be read: Because it's one of the best Vin-joins-the-Team ATF stories! Case and action, Chris and Vin interactions, interesting background for Vin... And all the guys working as a whole.

Chris chuckled as he pulled out on the road. Looking over he saw that Vin was already asleep. Reaching one arm in back he snagged a blanket and tossed it over the other man. What would it take to get him to transfer to the ATF?

11:02 pm Silk by Cord Smithee NC-17
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Length: 27K
Author on LJ: Not that I know of.
Author Website: http://www.chromeandgunmetal.com/chrome/archive/quicksearch.html
Why this must be read: A very different look at Illya's home, at least from Napoleon's point of view. It's Cord Smithee, need I really say more? I was surprised that this one had apparently never been recced before. Cord simply writes the some of the best slash I've read. It's truly a shame that he no longer writes in this fandom.

Just a taste: "The room was furnished with two Korean rice chests serving as dressers, their gorgeously inlaid surfaces holding a spare arrangement of censers and a jasmine plant in a tarnished copper planter. Silk-shaded lamps adorned the low trays that stood duty as nightstands; the windows were curtained in heavy swags of what Napoleon thought was batiked silk."

11:42 pm But For the Grace of God by Kikkimax (PG-PG13 by reccer)


Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Gen/none
Length: 17,270 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kikkimax   (this is a personal journal)
Author Website: Fanfiction by Kikkimax
Why this must be read:

The idea of another Sentinel coming into Blair's and Jim's lives has always been a fanfic idea I like to read about and explore. There's just so many variations on what could happen and how they would react. Kikkimax takes us down a darker path than others I've read in her fic, But For the Grace of God. In this heartwrenching tale, she explores the idea of another Sentinel whose gifts have not been a blessing; they've taken him and his life over since no one was around to help "guide" him through this life change. So when he meets someone who has the knowledge base and experience to help him, let's just say that the outcome isn't for the best. And yet, even though this other Sentinel is the antagonist of the story, the reader just can't help feeling for him. After all, if Blair hadn't come onto the scene, this poor man could have been Jim. One never knows. Definitely give this fic a gander; Kikkimax manages to write a very tight and engaging story that makes one feel for the characters, antagonist and protagonist.
