08:28 am Temple of Venus by Lizzie (R)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: Short Story
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] caffyolay
Author Website: Lizzie's stories via Palelyloitering
Why this must be read:I didn't mean to rec another story by Lizzie so soon after the last, but when I was looking for supernatural themed stories to rec in this week nearest Halloween, I couldn't believe that Temple of Venus had not yet been featured here!

This is one of my favourite stories by Lizzie - it's slightly AU in that whilst Doyle works for CI5, Bodie is the manager of the large estate which Cowley's men are set to guard. Doyle first meets Bodie at night, in the depths of an old folly, and passion quickly overtakes them both. The strange thing is - when Doyle sees him again the next day, Bodie acts almost as if they'd never met before...

What can I say about Lizzie's stories that I haven't already said? They're warm, they're very hot, and they're our lads, through and through...

01:18 pm What You Know by applecameron (Teen)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing/Characters: Chris/Vin, Ezra
Length: 689 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author website: Author on AO3

Why this must be read: It's a lovely one if you're interested in dynamics and perspective.  Although very short this is a stylish, beautifully-written interpretation of the triumvirate of Chris, Vin and Ezra.  The voice we hear is Vin's, the central emotional/sexual relationship of the story is Chris/Vin, while the focus of the piece is essentially Ezra.  It casts a beam on how, or even if, he fits into the Seven and particularly how he relates to Chris and Vin.

But once Vin took up with Chris, the two of them settling down out at his place to raise a few horses, not that Vin didn't still run off for weeks at a time to visit the Kiowa, or the Seminole village where Nathan slowly courted Rain, or go looking for some of his old Comanche brothers, or sometimes just go with nowhere in mind, that diamond quality of Ezra seemed a little dimmer.  Not tarnished, just - he missed them, was Vin's guess.

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Reader on LJ: N/A, Reader on DW

Author's Summary: Sandaime never had to put up with any of this crap.

Why this must be listened to: While I enjoy this story very much in its written format – the humour shows the author at their snarky best - for me the true genius lies in this specific reading. There's a lightness of touch and accuracy of pacing to it which does more than justice to the words. The use of music and sound is excellent and calculated to enhance the listeners enjoyment. All in all its amazing fun and a great listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

08:49 pm Cadence to Arms by Mad_Maudlin (mature, for violence, not sex)
Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: John Watson&Sherlock Holmes
Length: 4826 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

Many stories written after the cliffhanger at the end of The Great Game and before the beginning of series 2 start with the bomb at the pool going off. In Cadence to Arms the bomb explodes, Sherlock is injured, and John flashes back to Afghanistan, weaving past and current events together in his confusion. But always, John is a soldier and a doctor, dedicated to protecting his patient.
