Why this must be read:
I was surprised this one hadn't been rec'd here. This is a modern magical AU written for the 2010 Merlin Big Bang Challenge. Merlin gets a summer job at the palace and meets Arthur--who is King of England. I like the action-adventure aspect of this AU and the strong friendships, and the romance is just plain adorkable.

07:27 pm Solitude by Sammy (R)
My apologies for being distracted from my reccing duties this month. I'll be making up for it during the coming week.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Length: 4,000 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Sammy's stories at 852 Prospect Archive
Why this must be read:

This story is a Crossroads episode tag. At Jim's insistence, Blair and Simon have gone back to Cascade and left Jim to go camping on his own. In the wilderness, Jim can experience his senses in ways he can't afford to in civilization. At the end of the week Jim heads home, back to the loft, back to the city, back to his work as a sentinel. When he arrives, Blair's not there and there's an envelop on the table.

One week of not being a Sentinel. )

And a sequel: Waking Up In The Arms Of A Loved One

08:36 pm Sibling Rivalry by Vader's Fallen Angel (K+)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Anakin/Padmé, Owen/Beru
Length: 5199 words
Author on LJ: I don't think she has one.
Author Website: FFN Profile
Why this must be read:

Relationships can be grand or small, long-lasting or ephemeral. Family relationships are the longest-lasting, and Anakin and Owen Lars share a relationship nurtured by the woman who birthed one and nurtured the other: Shmi Skywalker. This story compares the overarching relationships of son, husband, father and brother of the two men. Cleanly and touchingly written, they meet psychically on many levels and just miss on many, as well. As the summary states, "The step-brothers only met once, but they understood sibling rivalry."

Because it's time for more hawt sex!

Well, eventually. Hutch has to angst and pine first. :) In this post-Sweet Revenge story, LilyK delivers delightful banter, the aforementioned Hutch pining, yummy descriptions of gorgeous men touching themselves, and hawt sex. Boy oh boy, does she deliver!

You want proof, don’t you? Here you go~ )
