SV rec: A Nice, Friendly Game by Koi (NC-17)

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Direct Link: A Nice, Friendly Game
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: koimistress
Author Website: Seems to be down at the moment...

Why this must be read: Koi's best known story is probably Mercy, which is a very dark futurefic that caused all kinds of commotion when first published...but this is denialfic week and this story opens up limitless vistas of prickly, scratchy, unscripted and realistic future with a smart, crazed, slightly annoying Lex and a bold, blushing Clark who is just a little bit in awe of him (and will be, for a few years hence). Plus, it's clichefic of the highest order and funny, sweet, poignant, sexy and just...perfect. The sex manages to be incredibly hot and romantic while actually being quite demure in terms of graphic description when compared to the majority of Smallville smut.

Read, enjoy, and tell her how much you love it.

ETA: Accessing the Story: For some reason, this link is defaulting to an ftp: address even though it's been coded in this post as http. If you cannot access the story by clicking on the link, you can change the ftp to http in your address bar and you should be able to get it that way.

The link you gave doesn't work, it is with "ftp://" instead of "http://" in the URL.

This is one of my favourite slash stories of all time. It's absolutely wonderful in every way.

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

It works for me...I don't know what to tell you ;)

Maybe it's the version of the browser you're using. Unfortunately, it's not on any of the archives, and Koi's main site seems to be down right now.

I'm not sure what shaggirl and stopawhile intend, but I'd kind of like to use these recs as an opportunity to discuss stories I really like. If you wouldn't mind giving your $0.02...are there any specific reasons you can pinpoint for this one being a favorite of yours?

[ratcreature]

The location of the link works for me as well, as long as I put the "http://" in there by hand. If I don't do that there will be an attempt to access the space via ftp, which would work only with the site's password. In the link location it says "ftp" i.e. in the link tag it's href="ftp://members.aol.com/koimistress/game.html" where it should be href="http://members.aol.com/koimistress/game.html" to get to a normal webpage via the http protocol, that's all.

That's very peculiar. I've changed it to http--and thank you for letting me know it was asking for a password...because I don't have one, but was able to access the story anyway. The ftp address was the one that came up when I did a search for the story and it never occurred to me that others wouldn't be able to get in. So, yeah, thanks!

Jumping in, the reason this is one of *my* favorite slash stories, and without rereading it to refresh myself on details, it simmers. There's just so much UST and of course, the boys are really well characterized, which makes it real. And really hot.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

P.S. I'm still getting the ftp in my address when I click on your link. Very strange.

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Yes, very strange, since if you go into the edit mode, it's http...I've gone in and changed it *again* like a dumb monkey, hoping that redoing it would somehow make a difference. Despite the ftp, can you get in to see the story?

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Only if I type in http. Very, very strange.

[giggleloop.livejournal.com]
