10:02 am "Heavy Breathing" by mikes_grrl (Brown Cortina, NC-17+)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS (UK)
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Length: 4,700 (in two parts; part one 1,700)
Author on LJ: http://mikes-grrl.livejournal.com/
Author Website: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=lifein1973&keyword=mikes_grrl&filter=all
Why this must be read:

Continuing the reccing of fics that made a strong impression on me and that I return to again and again, here's another one which "haunts" me. It's got top!Sam and firsttime!Gene, which alone is a wonderful combination, but it also shows how Sam's typical nagging and pushing gets him where he wants to be ;-), a little bit of backstory for Gene regarding his hidden/negated proclivities, as well as doubtful!insecure!Gene, and is just this side of dubcon. Plus, it's got some lovely little one-lines and similes. All in all, a wonderful read!

Fandom: TEEN WOLF

Author: minusoneday
Why this must be read: my favorite college/frat!AU!!! I'm not american and here we have a very different school system/school style/school life, sooo I'm not a big fan of the genre, but this story is very, very convincing, very realistic.

04:05 pm Six Vignettes (G) by rilina.
I just realised I should have put yesterday's art rec up today instead. It would have fit beautifully with today's story.

Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: None
Genre: Gen.
Length: 687 words.
Author on LJ: Not Known
Warnings: None.
Author Websites: Dreamwidth
Author's Summary Spoilers through volume 28. Gai and Kakashi, during the time skip.
Why this must be read: This short fic packs the same punch as a much longer one. The vignettes allow the author to toss ideas into the air and rely on the reader to come to their own conclusions as to their validity. What you end up with is a flurry of insightful observations that feel perfectly Gai and slot beautifully into canon. A short, wonderful piece that is well worth the read.

07:17 pm made me that much stronger by gonnafeelgood (Explicit)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Dan Whitesides/Jepha Howard
Length: 4624
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gonnafeelgood
Author Website: on AO3
Why this must be read:

A great story about how it is to be a woman in a world where misogyny is a standing and accepted feature and what it takes to constantly prove that your gender doesn’t make you weak. The fact that Jepha is a woman in this story makes all the difference, while it doesn't change the band or personalities it does change how they view the world and how the world views them.

Jepha's always been strong … You learn to hold your own in the face of men who won't.

07:55 pm Whither Thou Goest by Blankety (R)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 2600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] doll_revolution
Author Website: at 852 Prospect

Why this must be read: It’s a highly enjoyable example of a favorite genre: slice of life (aka curtain fic).

Here we get little slices: monthly examples of how Jim and Blair’s lives are getting more and more entwined. Blankety excels at this genre; I picked this story because they go to a Halloween party and the costume theme makes me laugh. Enjoy.

11:16 pm A Brief History of Johns by Lavvyan (Gen)
Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: John Watson & Sherlock Holmes
Length: 1173 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lavvyan
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

Best opening line ever :-). Doctor John Watson was not the first John to fill a lonely place in Sherlock's heart. Delicate and slightly eerie - it's not what you expect.

There is also a podfic version available.

Sherlock buries John Six in the bed of Johns at the back of the garden, between the tulips and the daffodils. It's cold for the time of year and his breath travels toward the overcast sky in small, white puffs. He's still sweating by the time he's done.

"May you rest in peace," he says, not because he believes in ritual but because something should be said. They hadn't seen much of each other lately, but John Six had been loved. Sherlock will miss the knowledge that, when things go bad, there'll be a John waiting at home for him to make them better.
