12:03 am Mr. Nothing's Got a Lot by Lady Krysis (NC-17)
Fandom: NCIS: Los Angeles
Pairing: Sam Hanna/G. Callen
Length: ~2035 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lady_krysis
Author Website: Fic at AO3
Why this must be read: Banter. And handcuffs. Established Sam/G get ready for the undercover mission with the militia (episode 1.8, Ambush). There's affection and heat and a playful flirting to it all that culminates in something far more intense. I like this fic the way Callen likes explosions and poorly-executed plots. That is to say, a lot.

'There's a lot you don't know about me, G,' Sam says with an easy nonchalance. )

Once again I am driving the Van for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I apologize for the late start - I got tied up with other projects.

Pairing: none, although Illya is married.

Why this must be read:
The plot starts out like many fluffy tales: Napoleon has promised his wife he will be home in time for his seventy-fifth birthday party. So when he doesn't show,  Illya's and Napoleon's wives send Illya to look for him.  But then the story begins to take a twist: Illya is stunned to find Napoleon in his office, being held a gunpoint by a woman who is invisible except for her head. Possibly even more amazing is that once Illya turns up the woman (a Thrush agent, of course) hands over her gun - wanting to be captured. Why? And what is her connection to Napoleon?

As the agents start questioning the female parts of their past start to come out - parts Napoleon would rather not remember. The plot gets deeper, the characters more complex and Carabele draws you into the story.

08:52 pm Distance Making the Heart Grow Blind by Gidget ZB (T)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Caprica Six/Saul Tigh
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gidget_zb 
Author Website: The Gidget Fic tag at [livejournal.com profile] fandom_bitches 
Why this must be read:

For half a season, we had one of the most interesting, underused pairings I know of: Caprica Six, in prison and slightly broken from everything she'd gone through but still looking for someone to love, and Saul Tigh, grieving the wife he'd murdered as a traitor and confused as frak about his Cylonness.  Both of them were screwed up, and it couldn't last long, and yet, for a period of time, they had one another.  Gidget captures their relationship and explores it in painful, honest detail, and the end is so hopeful (even though we know what's going to happen to them once Ellen gets back).  If you liked that relationship you must read this, and even if it wasn't your cup of tea, give it a shot.

10:09 pm The Kings of Glamor by desfinado (NC-17)
This week's theme is Superporny Recs!

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Gerard/Frank/Mikey
Length: 7,248 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] desfinado
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read:

This is excellent sensory porn, a rich and fascinating exploration.

I love all the little details: the sounds, scents, and sensations extracted from the specific event of My Chemical Romance revisiting their roots at a small club show. The emotions the band attaches to returning to that particular time/space also allows for a return to certain adolescent explorations; it's messy, amorphous, and not so much permanent regression as re-familiarizing themselves with a space they're no longer used to and how it differs from their memories. The main difference here, of course, is an un-anxious threesomes with each other as longtime friends.

Warning: Incest. (This isn't an uncommon event in bandom, either. You are forewarned.)

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: always-a-girl!Gerard/Frank
Length: 10,300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rue_quercus and [livejournal.com profile] carleton97
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] ondistantstars
Why this must be read:

You want to read this. Trust me. This is a well-recognized girl!fic in bandom, and for good reason. It is a classic bandom always-a-girl fic containing a wonderful relationship between girl!Gerard and Frank that isn't overdone. Also, the sex illustrates the other classically bandom quality of being ridiculous yet intensely hot.

This fic is set very early on during My Chem's van touring days. There is a sequel, down to the water, that is set in 2004 as Gee recovers from addiction and repairs her relationship with Frank.
