Sorry I've been remiss in reccing! I'll try to make up for it with two of my favorite pic-fics (you'll see). Fandom: due South Pairing: none Length: kid-book length Author on LJ: catwalksaloneAuthor Website: link to websiteWhy this must be read:How could I NOT love a fic that combines due South with one of my favorite series of kids books? Image heavy, this looks and reads just like one of the Don’t Let the Pigeon series, with Fraser and the Rays as the cast. Don’t Let Kowalski Interview the Perp | |

Fandom: due South Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio/Kowalski Length: n/a – all told in lists Author on LJ: sionnainAuthor Website: sionnain’s fic pageWhy this must be read:Another image-heavy rec, this story, told entirely through the evolving grocery list on the FVK fridge, is funny and charming, and so in character. As a side note, this piece was actually inspired by my previous rec. Grocery lists | |

Fandom: LEWIS Pairing: Robbie Lewis/James Hathaway Length: 4k Author on LJ: dsudisAuthor Website: AO3, and personal websiteWhy this must be read:It's striking how confident Lewis is here, confident and demanding. He strides towards Hathaway at the beginning of the story and he never lets up. There's so much heat in this story, and I think it's born of that confidence too. Not that I don't love the more hesitant or gentle stories in this fandom (oh, I do) but this one is notable for its different erotic tone. "Then you should come home with me anyway," James said quietly, feeling the rush of the words like a drug, making him almost giddy.Raised with the Fume of Sighs | |

Today is the 15th of the month, which means Crack Van Collisions, a.k.a. cross-over day. Drivers, you may rec one fic that crosses over your fandom with another (no, this does not count against your maximum). Please post crossovers in the following format: Subject: Fandom/Fandom (Rating) Title: Title by Author Pairing: (no abbreviations, please) Author on LJ:Author Website:Why this must be read:(link to story) tags: fanfic, crossover, fandom, fandom, etc. Thanks, all! | |

Fandom: LEWIS Pairing: Robbie Lewis/James Hathaway Length: 11k Author on LJ: berevetteAuthor Website: Berevette at the AO3Why this must be read:Hathaway knows he's in love, Lewis doesn't yet. This is gorgeous. It's sweet and genuinely domestic, but has enough realism to give it some grit. It gets to the heart of the way they care for each other, and it's a slow, sustained build. It's also extremely hot. It's hot because of the words they use to define what they are to each other; talking almost dispassionately, like solving a case. And then it's hot because of Hathaway's voice. Want to wake up next to you, have you pressed against my back while I make breakfast. Want everything, everything.Inclined to Domesticity | |

Title: In Duty Homeward Shall We Fly by Toomuchplor Pairing: Arthur/Eames Length: 4k Author on LJ: http://toomuchplor.livejournal.com/Author on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/users/toomuchplor/pseuds/toomuchplorWhy this must be readIt seems obvious and logical that dream technology is alien in origin. And of course Arthur (formerly Tommy) Solomon has been given the mission to get it back from the primitive Earthlings by the Big Giant Head. What is actually surprising is that Arthur finds himself impressed by the human known as Eames and unexpected emotions get involved. Only toomuchplor could make this crossover work so plausibly. Cath brings a dry, dead-pan humor to the podfic that matches the crackiness of the story perfectly. Text: In Duty Homeward Shall We FlyPodfic: In Duty Homeward Shall We Fly | |

Title: Tonight (I’m Fucking You) by canis_takahariPairing: Tony Stark/Leonard McCoy Author on LJ: canis_takahariAuthor Website: Masterlist of FicWhy this must be read: Well as a lover of the Avengers universe AND the Trek universe, this is just perfect: I mean, who doesn't want to see Leonard McCoy all sexed up by Tony Stark? Also, there's the whole scene afterwards in which Kirk finds out, which is totally one of my favorite things ever (jealousy!). Tonight (I’m Fucking You) | |

Sorry, I'm getting a late start this month. Hope to make up for it. Fandom: Sherlock BBC Pairing: Sherlock/John Length: about 2,300 words Author on LJ: what_alchemy Author Website: Fic Masterlist on LJ Why this must be read: This is, for me, the complete package: style, humor (food!), rhythm, sensuality, innovation (recipe links), concision, and a brilliant Sherlock POV.
It's not easy to excerpt without spoiling anything. Sherlock cares for John. Sherlock decides to prepare a proper treat for John. Sherlock, in passages, goes meticulously, engagingly, off the rails. Read, and enjoy.

Crossover Day, woohoo! Fandom: BABYLON 5 / DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Delenn/Sarah Jane Smith Length: 2045 words Author on LJ: leyennAuthor Website: Leyenn at An Archive Of Our Own Why this must be read:Dashing girl reporter interviews galactic president! Delenn canonically has had bad luck with the media, but Sarah Jane Smith isn’t just any reporter. And it turns out that Delenn isn’t your average alien leader, either. Two of my favourite characters ever sit down and talk over tea, and Delenn is wise and Sarah Jane is clever, and they learn from each other. My only regret with this fic is that the porn would have been exceedingly photogenic. But despite that this is a beautiful short story that leaves me feeling safe, warm, and happy--and, like Sarah Jane, ready to tackle the next adventure. Excerpt: ( Twenty-two sixty-one is only a few hundred years out of time… ) Because Sooner Or Later | |

Title: Chill out and learn to love your pussy by halfeatenmoon Pairing: Gerard Way/Tuxedo Mask Author on LJ: halfeatenmoonAuthor Website: halfeatenmoon@AO3Why this must be read: My heart kind of melted when I read this story that meshes my oldest with my newest fandom. That aside, it's a hilarious story that tries to explore the possibilities that arise when Gerard, Mikey and Co. gain the ability to turn into female Sailor Scouts. There are a lot of funny details, and I for one loved to learn who's behind the Tuxedo Mask costume. ( Excerpt )Chill out and learn to love your pussy | |

Title: Not From Around Here, But Here Just The Same by gingasaurPairing: Cameron Mitchell and Helen Magnus Author on LJ: gingasaurAuthor Website: AO3Why this must be read: As Cameron Mitchell waits in the thirties to right the timeline, he meets a woman who is the spitting image of his dead friend. This is a fill-in for Stargate: Continuum, but all you really need to know is that the timeline went wrong, that Cam has gone back in time to fix it, and that Helen Magnus is near-immortal and hunts things you thought only existed in cryptozoology books. (And is fabulous. You need to know that) A story which not so much lampshades the fact that Helen Magnus and Sam Carter look alike as floodlights it and sings karaoke about it, this is the tale of the nine-year bittersweet friendship between Helen and Cam in the 1930s. It's simply and elegantly written, well-characterised, and if I'd have liked a little more thirties atmosphere, that's just because I am greedy. Not From Around Here, But Here Just the Same | |
