Fandom: MERLIN Pairing: Arthur/Merlin Length: ~ 2,800 words Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) misswinterhillAuthor Website: LJ Masterlist and AO3Why this must be read: Author's Summary: Merlin underestimates how sharp Arthur’s sword in and slices his hand open, right up the arm. Arthur is definitely not worried by this, no, not at all. This is a very nice example of the stellar hurt/comfort offerings in Merlin fandom. It's very straight forward, no deep life-scarring angst, no non-con, no permanent maiming or scarring. Just Merlin being a bit bumbling with Arthur's sharp implements and cutting too deep. Arthur's all brave and brash front covering a terrified fear of losing a loved one. Gaius is there to heal and then there's cuddles and comfort all around. For when you want a simple "OMG, I need me some hurt!Merlin, protective!Arthur, and gooey snuggly A/M!", this fic will please the palate. It's Only a Flesh Wound | | |

Fandom: INCEPTION Title: Nothing Comes as Easy as You - NC-17 Pairing: Arthur/Eames Length: 3,780 Author on LJ: deepsixAuthor Website: fic tag on author's LJ; AO3 profileWhy this must be read: I had a minor crisis over which deepsix fic to rec, because i've been reliably informed that i've not recced NEARLY enough porn this month, and all V's fics are so amazing and hot and satisfying and full of intimacy that trying to actually choose one sent me into some kind of anxiety spiral. So just pretend I recced them all. But I picked this one because it's so quintessential (which is a quality I love my crack_van recs to have)--first time A/E kisses, in the warehouse, after hours, and the frenzied fucking afterwards that can only come from love. Also, barebacking. Gnughhhh. ( Arthur kisses him, helplessly, breathlessly, and he can't stop reaching for Eames )Nothing Comes as Easy as You | | |

Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE Pairing: Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi Length: 22k Author Website: star wars
Why this must be read: On the eve before leading the last of the Jedi into battle, Obi-Wan gets his heart's desire, but in a way he might never have expected. Haunting and beautiful, this is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, but that’s true of almost all of torch’s stories. Excerpt: Frosted grass crackled under his boots. It was a cold night, cold and dark. There were so few stars here, only distant glimmers in the sky, and down in this hidden valley on a desolate planet at the edge of the galaxy, the last fire was going out. He tucked his hands into his sleeves and sat down on a log, staring at what was left, watching the glow of red and orange turn to grey and fade into ashes. Around him the camp was settling in for the night, growing quiet. There would be peace, he could stay out here all night and meditate.
The coward's way out, he told himself softly, watching his breath cloud and then fade away. Don't think, meditate. Don't think about where you are and what you'll be doing come morning. Don't think about who you are--
Even if he had known who he was. He had been so many things. Identities collected like shells on a beach, treated roughly, broken one by one. Student, teacher, object lesson. Padawan, knight, master, failure. Diplomat, peacekeeper, general, refugee. Now he was a lonely man sitting in the dark, wearing the robes of the order that had raised him and trained him over the uniform of an army he had led to defeat, sifting through the fragments of his past in the hope that they still held something of value. The night was eerily silent. He could hear his own heart beat. If he found something, would he even recognize it any more?Whispers Remain | | |

Fandom: NCIS Pairing: none / gen Length: about 2,000 words Author on LJ: gilascaveAuthor website/archives: right here and on AO3Why this must be read: This being the crack van, it's high time to rec a cracky fic. And it doesn't get much crackier than "Issums Bunny" (and it's brilliant sequels). Tony turns into a rabbit whenever he's terrified. I don't think I need to say more, do I? Except that you'll laugh until you cry when you read this fic! :) (Issums Bunny)And, because I'm in the mood for a three-for-the-price-of-one treat, here's the sequels: (Deadlier Than The Mail)(A Thousand Words Are Worth One or Two Pictures At Least) | | |
