Why this must be read: Actions, images, thoughts and
sensations are seamlessly interwoven in this story. A lightsaber training
duel becomes a reflection of verbal thrusting and parrying, while the
physical effort is a reflection of emotional tension between
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. You can't help prolonging the pleasure of reading
this, at least I couldn't, while anxious to know what's ahead. I like the
pace of this story and the subtly erotic way it ends, giving us a taste of
what's to come. This story is part of the Living
Force
Q/O zine series.


Better than sex. This was so much better than sex. Sex was wonderful and
satisfying, but this …

The Sword Dance, ancient and honourable, and perhaps the most blatant piece
of sublimation in the Jedi repertoire. He'd never been in a better place for
this dance, a long dead monarch's grateful offering to a Jedi long forgotten
everywhere else but this small planet: ancient stone floor, so coldly smooth
beneath his feet, tall windows so benign in these last minutes before dawn,
the Force so rich here, he could feel it caress his spirit.

On the tips of his toes, he felt even taller, a celebration of his height,
no apology, no stooping down for the comfort or dignity of others, just this
honest reaching and stretching. He thrust his lightsabre forward, the green
edge skimming, tingling, along the length of Obi-Wan's.

"Enjoying yourself, Master?" Obi-Wan asked him, mirroring his move, 'sabre a
humming blur in the dark.

02:14 pm The Box with Something Special, by Mystic Whim (NC-17)
Fandom:STARSKY and HUTCH
Pairing:Hutch/Trevor, Hutch/Starsky
Length:45509 words
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] mysticwhim
Author Website:http://www.parkercenterplayground.com/ http://www.starskyhutcharchive.net/viewstory.php?sid=663&chapter=1

Why this must be read: In this story Hutch is reunited with a friend from his college days. Hutch had been lovers with Trevor for a while in college and then Starsky came back for Vietnam and then they because police and partners. If you don't like the guys with another guy, you should still read this because it has a wonderful twist to it and Mystic writes it so well, I promise you will get sucked into it. This is a first time fic for Starsky and Hutch, but the love had been there from the beginning.

02:48 pm Spirits and Revelations by CelestiaLily (PG)
Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Pairing: Gen
Length: 4,042
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers for S01E13: "The Blue Spirit"
Author on LJ:
Author's Website: CelestiaLily on FFN
Summary: Aang and his daemon reflect on the discovery of Zuko's secret, along with a few others to be told. Revision of "The Blue Spirit."

Why this must be read: "The Blue Spirit" is one of my favorite Avatar episodes--the first episode we get that really gives us worthwhile interaction between Aang and Zuko. CelestiaLily rewrites the episode in this short fic, giving the reader an idea of what it would be like with daemons. The major scene in this fic deals with Aang arguing with his daemon about Zuko's motives and if he's worth saving. Aang is adamant about leaving him to heal on his own, whereas Aang's daemon refuses to leave Zuko behind, and this then evolves into a discussion of Zuko and Zuko's daemon in general. This idea of Aang not knowing how to deal with Zuko is present throughout the entire series, but this fic really brings it to a point by showing Aang arguing with his own soul about what to do.

This fic is only archived on FFN, a site I personally avoid whenever possible, but this fic is worth the read. The grammar is a little rough, however for AtLA fandom this fic is amazingly well-written. If you read AtLA, you know what I mean. The fic is marked gen with Aang/Zuko friendship, but it can easily be read as pre-slash if you're a Zukaang fan. Perfect for anyone looking for a bit more insight into the characters.
