07:27 am Perfect In My Mind by skintightsocks (NC-17)
Fandom: GLEE
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Length: 28,300+
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] skintightsocks
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read:
Kurt never thought that losing one's virginity would take so much planning.
This is a great, smutty fic about how Kurt and Blaine eventually lose their virginity together. It's sweet, and cute, and all the trial and error they go through is so appropriate for two teenagers who've never done this before. It's a great read, and [livejournal.com profile] skintightsocks tortures the reader just long enough before Kurt and Blaine finally manage to accomplish their end goal.

02:50 pm Paper Confetti by torigates (PG)
Fandom: BONES
Pairing: Angela/Hodgins, minor Angela/Grayson
Length: 1,071
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] torigates
Author Website: torigates’ masterlist
Why this must be read:

Author’s summary: It’s unsurprising then, that she marks a lot of her life by kisses.

I love Angela and Hodgins so much it hurts, and this fic captures their relationship perfectly. Angela thinks back over the twisty road that led to her and Hodgins getting married in the courthouse jail, but this fic isn’t just some recap of Seasons 1-5. With lush sensory details and a strong narrative voice, [livejournal.com profile] torigates paints a picture not only of Angela’s relationship with Hodgins, but of Angela’s relationship with love itself.

08:54 pm You Want But You Want But You Don't Wanna Be (On Your Knees) by graceoftheworld (NC-17)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Bob/Frank
Length: 5,076 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] graceoftheworld
Author Website: author's masterlist of fic
Why this must be read: In the MCR corner of bandom, "asshole!Frank" has become a well-loved characterization of Frank. However, more often than not, stories that attempt that characterization end up diverging so wildly from the Frank that we know, it's hard to relate to or care about him.

Instead, this story does an incredible job of making him a genuine asshole, a really unattractive personality, but still making us care by showing all of him for what he is: someone who doesn't know how to ask for things any other way than making someone angry enough to give it to him, who looks for intimacy in fists and teeth and his knees hitting the gravel, and who uses insults to let someone know how much he cares about them. Frank's pretty messed up in this story, but he's also pretty gone for Bob and Bob gets him. And that's why - in amongst the spitting and snarling - you see exactly why they're so good for each other. That, I think, makes it a pretty unique story and definitely worth a read!
