My Rec Table

Claim: Queer as Folk: UK - General
Title: Popcorn, Fags and the Temple of Doom
Author: Addie [livejournal.com profile] rubydreamer
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 12. Humour
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: Addie has a real knack for writing these two with humor and fun. This story is no exception. We also get a wonderful memory from Vince of when he and Stuart went the movies as teens, complete with them being pissed and getting some good snogs. I adored how Stuart just keeps making the situation worse, and how Vince tries so hard to play the straight man here, so to speak. Great bit with the ice cream cone too.

A fun read!

Title: Birthday Boy
Author: Steph [livejournal.com profile] iamtheenemy
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 08. Friendship
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: What I really love here is that Steph shows Stuart and Vince so much how I imagine them as teenagers. What I enjoy so much is that I see Vince here already holding in the anger and the feelings that we see so clearly on his face in the series. Also, I love how Stuart is so insistent on making up with him after screwing up -- and not taking Vince's 'no' for an answer. It also shows a brilliant un-apology from Stuart, and most likely the start of the Doctor Who apology watching Stuart has had to endure for many years. And, the best part is that Steph gives us the most lovely bit of sweetness with the two of them on the sofa. This fic warms my heart.
