Why this must be read: "one more drink and i'll be fine" is on the short side, but it packs a punch. You see incredible shades of a woman who could be Howard Stark's partner and equal, and there are so many elements that point directly to how and why their son turned out the way he did. The period elements are particularly impressive.

It makes Maria want to laugh, the notion that she’s capable of saving anyone, but he’s looking at her. He’s looking at her. He sees her. )

01:15 pm Mark of the Beast by Ysone(Donna Gentry) (PG-13)
Fandon: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: None, Gen
Length: 40,600 approx
Author on LJ: Not Known

Why this must be read:

What would happen if Blair had already found a sentinel before meeting Jim?

I love all of Ysone's stories and this is one of my favourites. In this long, angsty AU, Blair is working with Nathan Wester, a sentinel and detective in Seattle when they are called to Cascade to assist in a case. Jim's senses have recently emerged and Blair realizes quickly that he is a sentinel and is drawn to help him. A large part of the story deals with Blair's struggle between his desire to help Jim and his strong ethical sense of duty to his first sentinel , even though he is an abusive jerk. Wester goes from being emotionally to physically abusive, to frankly unhinged as his possessiveness and territoriality towards Blair escalate. There is a bit of animal spirit mysticism involved in the dramatic resolution and things end happily- well, for our two guys, anyway. I also like the way Simon is drawn in this story.

06:43 pm "In Our House" Poetry Series by youtooblondie (NC-17)

Why this must be read: The "In Our House" series is a recent collection from youtooblondie, who is a talented and well-recognized poet in the S&H (and real) world. The poems appeared at a perfect time for me, when my angst reservoir was full up, and I longed to see the guys in a non-threatening place, safe and sheltered from the world. These little poems take us there, into a home built on trust, survival, contentment, and promises kept. Oh--and spicy sex, of course! We see the guys teasing, puttering, chattering, and other (!) things--uninhibited and secure.

I hope you will take a moment and step into their home. The door, to which only they have the key, guards prized posessions such a guitar, a bed, books with well-turned pages. Their rooms, where they may wander half-naked or more, shelter them as they nurture what is most precious of all--each other's hearts and souls. Once inside their home, you may never want to leave.

09:21 pm Wanted by toomuchplor (R)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Length: 8,708

Why this must be read: "WANTED: Sperm donor. Must be intelligent and reasonably attractive. Terms of delivery are negotiable. Interested parties may inquire by leaving notices on this service." An anonymous posting on Atlantis' version of the classifieds causes quite a stir and when Rodney replies to the ad, John isn't sure how he feels about that. So he replies as well. And that's when the fun really begins. Whee! If you're like me, this is one of those stories that you'll find yourself reading along, utterly engrossed in the story, and then barking out a laugh at some line of dialogue that is SO in character that you just can't help yourself. It's a slice of fluffy fun and a perfect way to start your weekend.
