12:06 am No Storms Come by Ashkevran-Angel (approx PG)

Hmm, this tour is venturing farther afield than I realized. Another foray beyond the city limits, but well worth the extra miles.

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: 4,838 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ashkevran
Author Website: Ashkevran-Angel at the Starsky and Hutch Archive
Why this must be read:

In the wake of Starsky’s Lady, Hutch takes Starsky away from the city to an isolated cabin up North, in the hopes that his mourning partner can find some peace there. But peace is hard to come by for both men, as the grief over Terri’s death brings with it other, even more painful emotions. Angel uses beautiful, evocative imagery even as she wrings you out with yummy and oh so angsty passages like this one: )

05:42 am A Thoughtful, Moving Exploration of Passionate Youth by thehoyden (NC-17)
Oh, wow, It's July, I must be reccing Naruto. Sorry for the delay, I missed the email. This time, look for some new pairings mixed with the familiar. If there is a pairing you are interested in, drop me a line. I've got tons available. But for 2011, we're starting off with a pair of new fanfic from one of my all-time favorite authors.

Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Gai/Iruka - yes, yes, I know but trust me, it's incredible
Length: 15,424 words
Author on LJ: thehoyden's LJ
Author Website: thehoyden
Why this must be read:

If you've never read this pairing, don't worry. Neither have most of us. But thehoyden makes it ridiculously believable. Set in a very slight AU where Iruka takes in an abandoned Naruto, A Thoughtful, Moving Exploration of Passionate Youth is a delightful, surprising romance even the author didn't expect to write. When his friends snub him after adopting the container of nine-tailed fox, Iruka finds life different than he ever dreamed. But it's the Green Beast of Konaho that provides the most the unexpected possibilities. A true romance to make Harlequin proud, this should make you smile.

A Thoughtful, Moving Exploration of Passionate Youth

Please remember to feed the author.

06:06 am In Bond And Blood by thehoyden (NC-17)
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Kakashi/Iruka
Length: 12,918 words
Author on LJ: thehoyden's LJ
Author Website: thehoyden
Why this must be read:

Okay, honestly, this was getting recced as soon as I saw it was a Marriage of Convenience Fic. That In Bond And Blood turned out so deliciously good .. well, it's written by thehoyden, of course it's great. lol.

When Kakashi turns 30, he starts planning for the future and goes looking for a heir. Imagine his surprise when he discovers his chosen heir, Naruto, has already been adopted. Well, Kakashi has always been willing to adapt plans to get what he wants. Who knew Umino Iruka could be just as versatile? A delightful Marriage of Convenience that's barely AU, it is a fun read with some unexpectedly great insights into the Copy Ninja.

In Bond And Blood

05:20 pm What's In A Name? by aneuhaus (G, author did not rate)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: no pairing. While this is technically a gen story, [livejournal.com profile] aneuhaus ships Napoleon and Illya so it can go either way.
Length: One-Shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aneuhaus
Author Website: Her livejournal
Why this must be read:

This hilarious microfic features one of the MFU fandom's most beloved tropes: Napoleon pronounces Illya's name wrong. While many theories as to why abound, aneuhaus' fun fic gives a glimpse as to what happens when Mr. Kuryakin attempts (and fails) to teach Napoleon how to say his name correctly.

It's clever and fun, and illustrates perfectly Illya's snark factor, which is one of my favorite traits. The story is way too short to post an excerpt, but give it a try!

10:15 pm Salvation Under My Breath (Explicit)

Fandom: HAWAII FIVE-0 (NEW)
Pairing: Steve/Danny
Length: 1276
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] wickedtruth
Author Website:
Wickedtruth's Fic on AO3

Why this must be read:
Bringing you a little change of pace with a bit of pure porn. Salvation Under My Breath takes place in Steve's garage, in the backseat of the Marquis, to be exact, and it is hot like fire. It's a hot day and Steve and Danny make it even hotter. You might need a cigarette after reading this, even if you don't smoke.

Excerpt:

Every time they move, the leather creaks and sticks to him and Danny's sure he's going to lose a layer of skin from his back by the time they're done, but it's still too good to stop. It's slow and lazy Sunday afternoon rutting that started with an argument over the car and Danny's unwillingness to risk another drive, and ended with him pressing Steve against the side of the car and kissing him until he stopped trying to talk.

They'd stripped each other, a piece at a time, trading kisses and touches and enjoying the slow burn of arousal that sparked between them until it felt like every breath was heat soaked and full of longing.
