12:27 pm En Route to Transylvania, by Weatherfront - PG-13
Fandom: INCEPTION
Title: En Route to Transylvania
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 5,158
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] weatherfront
Author Website: author's fic journal
Why this must be read: When this fic was first written, just 2 weeks after the movie came out, Inception fandom was experiencing this incredible burgeoning influx of energy and activity, like some kind of mega-star spewing out tropes and future fandom classics into the fannish galaxy. My friends and I, after weatherfront wrote this hysterical fic, went around shrieking, "YOU'RE WAITING FOR A PALFREY!" and "WE HAVE TO HIDE YOUR TEETH!" at each other. It was the kind of fic we had to have giddy conversations about, the kind of fic that seemed to come right from the middle of this weird/incredible fan-nebula, half meta-parody and half pure love. This silly little fic about vampires and peasants and goats and beanceptions is so, so not silly at all: It's everything I love about Inception, and Inception fandom, and Arthur and Eames, and community, and love.

Bonus: absolutely do not skip over reading the tiny, beautiful epilogue. ♥

Eames watches him, because even asleep he's hell of a lot more interesting than his goats. )

12:41 pm KILLING NOTES by ELLIS WARD (adult)
Back in the ‘real’ world - or are we? There seem to be strange goings-on and every so often I catch a glimpse of something odd through my side-mirrors.

Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle

Why this must be read: I was so pleased to find one of Ellis Ward’s longer stories that hadn’t been recced already, because I love her writing. This is an exciting case-based story with definite aspects of the supernatural. It's CI5 and London, but... There are some seriously creepy moments and the lads have to protect each other as well as solve a mystery and some murders. I won’t tell you any more because I don’t want to spoil the surprises in the plot for anyone who hasn’t read it. Ellis Ward writes smoothly and presents us with complex storylines and well-drawn original characters. Keep it till after dark, and enjoy!

07:17 pm Hush Puppy by fluffygremlin (NC-17)
Fandom: Suits
Pairing: Harvey Specter/Mike Ross
Length: 2,893 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fluffygremlin
Author Website: Her Fiction on AO3
Why this must be read:  Sometimes all you want to read is a bone-meltingly hot, unflinchingly sexy, exceedingly well-written piece of fan fiction. "Hush Puppy" is all of that and more.

The story opens with Harvey and Mike in a bar, ostensibly working on a case but before long they're working each other in one of the filthiest bathroom sex scenes I've had the pleasure of reading in a very long time.

Phew!

What are you waiting for? Grab yourself a tall glass of ice water and get reading!

09:33 pm Rough Comfort by dustandroses (NC-17)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Tony/OMC, Gibbs/Tony pre-slash
Length: 8480 words

Why this must be read: This story is rough, brittle, painful, heart-wrenching, but also smokin' hot and exciting. Please do heed the warnings, because there are explicit scenes filled with kink in it, but damn, they're so brilliantly written. I only wish there was a sequel exploring the Gibbs/Tony dynamic that's hinted at at the very end of this story. Still, if you're feeling adventurous, please do yourself a favor and read this story. The OMC alone is worth it (and I'm usually not a big fan of Tony/OMC!).

11:45 pm Mike Carden: Werewolf Hunter by romanticalgirl (Gen)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: N/A
Length: 10016
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] romanticalgirl
Author Website: Archive of Our Own
Why this must be read: Set in the early days of TAI, Mike has rebelled against his family's calling his entire life.

All he wants to do is play the guitar and be in a band. Plus there's the rest of the band being complete failbots.

Also, I secretly believe this fic is what really happened on the road and why Tom left the band. ;)
