Why this must be read:

Hawkmoon, many U2 fangirls would argue, is a centrepiece of U2 slash. It's practically a fandom all by itself - when you find a U2 slashgirl with "hawkmoon" in her LJ interests, she probably isn't referring to the song. I don't know anyone in the fandom who doesn't follow this story, and I would have to hand in my U2 slashgirl card if I didn't rec it in the fandom's first ever [livejournal.com profile] crack_van outing.

I don't even know where to start. Trying to do this sprawling epic any sort of justice in a few paragraphs is mind-blowingly difficult. The basics: It's AU. It's multi-pairing. It's enormous, easily the longest fanfic I've ever read and ever expect to read.

I'm actually just reccing the pair of Hawkmoon Christmas stories, because they're all I *can* rec without breaking the no-WIP rule. Hawkmoon Christmas 1 and 2 are a perfectly self-contained pair of sidebars to the "real" story - you don't need to have read the main story and you don't need to read it afterwards (although if you'd like to...) These stories are even an AU of the AU. They're PWP (not that it's ever that simple in Hawkmoon) and just bursting with love and joy and caring and, oh yeah. Mind-blowingly incendiary sex. And, like in the main body of the story, there is plenty of fun to be had trainspotting - Occ and Mel are very clever about weaving U2 lyrics into the stories, and picking them out is a fun little exercise.




"Come here," Adam whispered to Edge. "Curl up with me." He sat and patted the blankets between his knees. Edge sat and scooted back, then lay back in his arms, head on Adam's shoulder, warm and relaxed.

"Bastard," Larry all but squealed, on his back on the floor in front of them. He managed to catch Bono's wrists, and they tried to stare each other down as Bono struggled, with the little motion Larry’s grip allowed, to get free. Then he changed tactics and struggled to kiss Larry, but Larry just held him, grinning.

Edge shivered as he felt Adam's lips at his ear. "You always wonder who's going to win, with them," he murmured. "You always wonder whether Larry will let Bono be in charge this time. Or is it Bono allowing Larry to think it’s his decision?"

Edge shifted, enjoying the feeling of Adam's erection pressing against him.

Larry got a leg behind Bono's knees and flipped, quickly, ending up lying on top of Bono, still holding his wrists.

"Even now, we don't know," Adam continued, his broad hands sliding lazily over Edge's belly. "Judging by the way he's kissing him, I'd think he's gonna fuck him. But you never can tell with them, can you?"

Kissing like he's trying to crawl into his mouth, hands still tight on his wrists, knees holding his hips... he's going to-

"Adam," Edge moaned softly. "What are you doing?"

"Shh... watch them. Don't mind me."

Edge let himself recline against Adam, acutely aware of the hardness on his lower back, as well as the fingers stroking and caressing him. Bono and Larry, I'm supposed to be watching them.

"I love to watch them," Adam went on, hands sliding over the front of Edge's hips. "They're both so beautiful, but different. Bono's so powerful, so sensual, like a ..."

"Tiger," Edge whispered, quivering. Adam scooted him up a little so he could get his hands underneath; he began to stroke the backs of Edge's thighs.

"Like a tiger. And Larry, so slender, so smooth. Look at his muscles, his skin," Adam murmured, nudging Edge’s hips up to cup his backside in his hands, his breath warm at Edge's ear.

"Jesus, Adam," Edge moaned, not caring about the awkward position.

Adam's hands crept inward, teasingly. "Look at Bono's cock," he said. "He wants Larry so badly. Who can blame him? But Larry's just as bad. Look how hard he is."

Adam's hands left him for a moment, and Edge let out a needy whine that surprised him with its volume. I just - they just made me - it just happened a few minutes ago. Adam's amazing. His voice. He makes me crazy.

Then the fingers returned to Edge's center, and they were slippery and wet.

Larry whispered in Bono's ear, too low for anyone else to hear, and Bono whispered back, sealing his words with a tender kiss to the hinge of Larry's jaw.

Even with us, a private moment. They should have some time alone. Winter's so hard on us all. He's such a puppy sometimes.

You know, you shouldn't do this to innocent by-standers.

People might unsuspectedly surf into [livejournal.com profile] u2slash to check up the first chapter - "No one can really recall now when Mullen rode into town" - and next thing they know, they'll come to the realization that they haven't eaten, slept or been out the door for a fortnight, just to catch up on this wonderful epic.

But, of course, no U2 slash pimping would be complete without Hawkmoon. It's one of the reasons I joined the [livejournal.com profile] u2slash community myself.

THAT HAPPENED TO ME. And I was all right until Chapter 2? Then it was all about the sex. And cowboy love.
