09:52 am Explosive Consequences by Mackie (PG)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Characters/Pairing: Blair Sandburg, Jim Ellison, Simon Banks; Jim Ellison/OFC
Length: 19K words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: at the Idol Pursuits site

Why this must be read: Jim is experiencing some strange things. First of all, he’s having inexplicable and bizarre nightmares. When he wakes up, he realizes that his senses are reaching beyond the loft to focus on a new tenant in the building, Abby McNeil. When he finally meets her, he’s struck by overwhelming and conflicting urges: he feels desire similar to what he felt for Laura in “Attraction”, but he also feels overly protective. Discussing it with Blair hasn’t helped, which adds to his frustration. On top of all of this personal stuff, he’s having trouble with a big case at work. He knows he’s missing something obvious but can’t figure out what it is. Yikes.

This is the first non-humorous story I’ve read by Mackie and it intrigued me because there was just so much going on under the surface. Lots of secrets and lots of messiness and lots of emotional turmoil, and it fooled me into going down a garden path. Dare I say “enjoy”? Read and decide for yourself.

Why this must be read:
Avery uses humor and drama in this story to keep the reader engrossed and wondering what will happen next. Illya is missing and only an old lady who is confused seems to have the clues as to where to find him. Following Napoleon’s attempt to figure out what she is trying to tell him, leads not only him to question if she knows what she knows but the reader to wonder if she really knows anything. It is a serious tale with fun undertones. Enjoy her sense of humor and story.

06:58 pm Colliding Upwards, Moving Down by Care (NC-17)
Fandom: NEW GIRL
Pairing: Jessica Day/Nick Miller
Length: ~10k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] care_says
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

Because it's bodyswap porn! And it is hilarious and cracky and very in-character and super hot. Nick trades his shirt for some magic beans, as you might expect a drunk Nick Miller to do, and the Nick/Jess situation devolves (and evolves) from there.

Colliding Upwards, Moving Down (AO3)
In retrospect, Nick probably shouldn't have traded his shirt for magic beans. Yes, this is a bodyswap fic.
