Length: ~30 000 words.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords
Author Website: Mhalachai\'s Writing / AO3 / Teaspoon / Masterlists linked from journal sidebar.
Why this must be read:

Ianto has always known he's different from everybody else, but nobody ever seems to notice the orange blood or the extra heart. Until someone does.

Ianto's backstory in this is charming, everybody's reactions are believable, and the mystery element is interesting. Deservedly considered a classic of it's genre.

02:54 pm A Lovely Apparition by jezrana (R)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Gerard/Frank
Length: 21,720 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jezrana
Author Website: Writing journal
Why this must be read: The one where Gerard's a crossdresser in the 1790s and falls in love with Frank. Crossdressing didn't use to be a kink of mine but this is one of the stories that changed my mind. There is a gentleness and sweetness to it that is very appealing and the writing is lovely. I also like what she's done with the characterisation of Gerard and Frank, they feel very much like themselves without being out of place in the late 18th century.

03:09 pm Armored, by Anonymous (R)
Fandom: Watchmen
Pairing: Dan/Rorschach
Length: >3000 words
Author on LJ: Anonymous
Author Website: Watchmen Kinkmeme, 5th iteration: http://spam-monster.livejournal.com/4155.html
Why this must be read:

It all began with the following prompt:

"Okay, so, D/R in a just barely established relationship, sexual but pretty vanilla, which has Dan frustrated. Cue the kink conversation, and the subsequent kink freakout, but here's the twist:

Rorschach's the one with some insane kink that Dan can't cope with. Yes, you read it right: Dan gets outkinked..."

Considering fanon has Dan pegged (ehem...) as the world's biggest kinkster while his partner in canon is the embodiment of repression, just the concept is funny. But the author manages to pick up this crack-tastic gauntlet (including the insane "example" kink given by the original poster) and actually makes it downright hot.
