Hello and Happy New Year! I'm your Homestuck reccer for the month of January. I've never done this before, so feel free to thwap me if I mess up. In case you need a Homestuck refresher, here's the Homestuck Overview by [livejournal.com profile] roachpatrol. On to the recs!

Fandom: HOMESTUCK
Pairing: Rose/Kanaya (flushed), minor Rose/Vriska (caliginous)
Length: 17k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] partingxshot
Author Website: On AO3
Why this must be read:

This is possibly my favorite fic in Homestuck. A lot of Rose/any girl fic have Rose having no trouble with her sexuality - jumping right in to a relationship. While those stories are often fantastic too, Show the Lights takes a different path and goes into Rose's coming to terms with being attracted to other girls - while at the same time dealing with her descent into grimdark and the Horrorterrors. The plot is lovely, the romance is wonderful, and the characters shine.

Hi everyone, and welcome to 2013. I've decided to drive the DS crackvan off-road, navigating via the "random story" button over at the Due South Archive this month.

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Vecchio
Length: 20k

Why this must be read:

Seasonally appropriate schmoop! This fic is brimming with sweetness and Vecchios, and Benton finding out he rather likes Christmas. I particularly adored Ray's Aunt Sonia.
