"Over Time: First Friends" and "The Broken Road"

My Table of Fire and Ice Prompts


Claim: Harry Potter: Draco/Ginny
Title:Over Time: First Friends
Author:Mynuet (also known as [livejournal.com profile] mynuet)
Characters:Draco/Ginny, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley.
Prompt: Friendship
Rating:Naughty -- I'd say R for the end of chapter 1
Length: Medium
Brief summary: In a series of vignettes spanning ten years, Draco and Ginny form an enduring friendship, which eventually leads to more. Drugged confessions, Playstation abuse, weddings, Christmas shopping, blind dates, stripteases, an exploding wand, and R/Hr on the side. I chose this one because you really believe that the two of them have been just good friends for years with NOTHING between them, and then you see how it was always there seething under the surface... but they didn't realise it until later!
Three Fun lines... )

Brief summary: Post-Hogwarts. Ginny Weasley Potter has gone through a string of men, even suffering through a stint being married to the Savior of the Wizarding World. She keeps her pain bottled up inside, until when she finally snaps, she does something drastic that changes her world forever. (Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Neville/Pansy) This is the first D/G fic I ever read -- it got me into the fandom... so consider yourself lucky I am reccing it to you now that it's finally finnished! Probably one of my absolute favourites (if not FAVOURITE) so I encourage the read. Harry is a real git... along with Hermione... so if you hate H/Hr (as much as I usually do -- be wary)

Brief summary: She understood obsession better than most. What it was like to obsess and what it was like to be obsessed over. And now, she had both, all of the time... You get both D/G and H/G. and even the Non-Con isn't that horrible... I read dozens of rape scenes and I just couldn't accept the Draco I love to do something SO SO horrible!

Out of Whack and The Healer

These are my first recs. I could have recc'd another 50 easily in this fandom. There are authors that could nearly fill the whole list themselves. I've tried to limit it to no more than three stories per author, and I hope someone else picks up the mantle, because I know I've left out some really wonderful stories. Anyway on with the show.


The Sentinel-Jim/Blair
Title:Out of Whack
Author:Bone and Aristide
Characters:Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Prompt: 05-Sex
Rating:NC-17
Length:Medium
Why this must be read When I saw the prompt this is the first story that came to mind. This story is hot,hot,hot, but it's more than the extended pwp the author's claim. There's angst, tension,soul searching and connection all wrapped up in the kind of sex you'd at least rent out your soul to have, or even see.

The Sentinel-Jim/Blair
Title:The Healer
Author:Alyjude
Characters:Jim Ellison, Blair Sandburg, Simon Banks, Megan O'Conner, host of others.
Prompt:07-Love
Rating:R-for violence
Length:Long
Why this must be read It fits the prompt is a myriad of ways-showcasing everything from romantic love and parental love through love of friends and teammates in all the wonderful and painful ways it touches us.

Title: Provocation
Author: Rhien Elleth ([livejournal.com profile] rhienelleth)
Characters: Teyla/Ronon
Prompt: 06 - Anger
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: After seven years on the run, Ronon isn't up to social niceties. He thinks something, he feels something, he acts on it -- which is how he ended up killing his old taskmaster, Kell. Teyla was there, she knows what happened, and that secret lies between them.

Canon has Teyla as a very controlled, polite individual, taking in information and spinning it into an acceptable form. She has cultivated the appearance of serenity, but whether she's really serene or not is open to interpretation.

Ronon wants to find out.

Claim: Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson

Characters: Pansy Parkison, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy
Prompt: Seduction
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Pansy Parkinson realizes that suprising interest with her Muggle Studies partner might turn out to be more than profitable. As with all of Slytherincess's work, this was wonderfully well-written. A Hogwarts-era romance centered pieces of fiction, the author managed to keep their canon-accurate feelings of mutual disgust within the characters, while still managing to show their attraction toward each other.

"Professionals" and "Coming Away Bloody"

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: "Professionals"
Author: Samantha ([livejournal.com profile] inlovewithnight)
Characters: Inara, Jayne
Prompt: 08. Friendship.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: One of the only (if not THE only) Jayne/Inara fic I've come across, and it portrays their relationship wonderfully - it isn't sexual or romantic in any way, but shows them as peers and people who aren't really that dissimilar, when you get down to it.

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: "Coming Away Bloody"
Author: [livejournal.com profile] poisontaster
Characters: Inara, Mal
Prompt: 14. Loss.
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: Absolutely heartbreaking Mal/Inara that has some excellent Mal characterisation, really showing him and how he lost his hope completely. The way he thinks about Inara is just perfect, and it fits so well into the timeline of the show that it's really believable as an internal monologue that Mal would have.

Resolution

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Resolution
Author: Blaze
Characters: Samantha Spade, Jack Malone. References to Maria Malone, with a cameo by Danny Taylor.
Prompt: 02. AU.
Rating: PG.
Length: Medium.

Brief summary: Character death isn't a novel idea, but the tragedy here is not in the death itself, but the fallout from it. The narrative is especially effective, because it attempts to explain what happened to Jack through a seemingly professional outlet (a letter to his widow), but it gradually turns more and more personal, eventually ending up as "the letter Samantha will never send." In the end, it swings back to the professional, as we are reminded that Samantha has experienced a loss on both fronts. This story captures, and expands upon, what makes the series so compelling: the emotional nature of a job where the professional cannot help but turn personal. Hank Steinberg would be proud.

Brief summary: This is part of a series that started with another birthday fic for me. I think it can be read as a stand alone if you know that Giles called Anya post Hells Bells and they are vacationing in Paris. This is another story that build the ship on a solid friendship between the two. If you like Ganya at all you'll thank me for getting Tales to write it.

Brief summary: [livejournal.com profile] scrunchy is one of my favorite writers within the Sports Night fandom because she nails the most important aspect to any fic within said fandom...the banter. This story reads like an episode that could’ve been, and while the Dan/Casey is much more friendship here, it’s totally them, embracing bad luck together.

Prompt: #31-Discovery
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: To start off-warnings for mpreg (one of the most realistic and wonderfully written ones I've ever read). The story starts off with Severus Snape's death and it progresses to show Ron Weasley try to figure out the secrets Snape was holding dear. One of Snape's last words was about some mysterious Raven and Ron embarks on the quest to put the pieces of the puzzle together. He ends up finding a world of intrigue and sex that was beyond his wildest dreams. The story is above all an engaging mystery, little actual romance is involved just plain old wondefully slashy sex and flirting, but a lot of pure-blood wizard traditions. Excerpt )

Hi,
here's my first rec as a starter. I hope some of you do understand German and have fun reading the story.

Claim: Fanfiction in German
Title/Titel: Tangent
Author/Autor: [livejournal.com profile] jimaine42
Fandom: ST Enterprise
Characters: Archer/Reed
Prompt: 2. AU
Rating: NC-17 (Slash)
Length/Länge: short-medium (kurz-mittel)

Brief Summary:
Jon meets Malcolm in an Alternate Universe where Jon is Captain of the Enterprise and Malcolm decided to stay with the Navy. In this Universe Malcolm never was a member of the Enterprise so many things went quite... differently or shall I say tragically. This story describes the first meeting of Jon and Malcolm in this AU.

Kurze Zusammenfassung:
In einem Alternativen Universum treffen Jon und Malcolm aufeinander. Jon ist auch hier Captain der Enterprise, aber Malcolm ist zur Navy gegangen und dort geblieben. Da er in diesem Universum nicht zur Enterprise-Crew gehörte, sind einige Dinge.... anders genaugenommen tragischer gelaufen. Diese Story handelt vom ersten Aufeinandertreffen von Jon un Malcolm in diesem Universum.

Why this story must be read:
First of all I think this is really an interesting 'What if'-question. Both Jon and Malcolm are really in character and the scenario is imaginable. It also is quite dark and a bit kinky. And before I forget to mention it: Jimaine's sex scenes are really hot!

Warum man diese Story unbedingt lesen sollte:
Die 'Was wäre wenn....' Frage finde ich ausgesprochen interessant. Und die Antwort auf diese Frage ist sehr gelungen: das Szenario ist glaubwürdig und auch Jon und Malcolm sind sehr gut getroffen. Die ganze Geschichte ist recht düster und kinky, aber trotzdem: Jimaines Sexscenen sind echt heiß!

So: go, read!!
Los, lesen!!

Brief summary: I think I picked this as the cliche category because in D/G fandom the cliches run to: overbearing brother, some sort of 'running into one another', and 'abused and beaten' Draco. This story has all of them, but is still a very very enjoyable read. Trust me... you'll hate Lucius and Narcissa even more than you do already! ;)

Claim: Lost - Shannon Rutherford
Title: Missing Piece
Author: Cynthia Arrow
Characters: Shannon, Kate
Prompt: Angst
Rating: FRT
Length: Medium/Long
Brief summary: This story represents some of the best written, most insightful angst I have read, with some incredible use of the English language and a fabulous grasp of all three characters (Kate, Shannon and Boone himself). None are painted as saints, all as flawed human beings, and those left behind are depicted as struggling with very real, sometimes bitterly painful emotions. If this story doesn't move you...well, I'll eat my hat.

After ensuring an angry encounter with Pansy, he manages to achieve his own ends.

Claim: Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson
Title: New Year's Resolution
Author:luciademedici
Characters: Pansy Parkison, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Adrian Pucey
Prompt: light
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: After taking pity on her cousin, and thusly being ditched at a Ministry event, Pansy winds up striking a conversation with an apparent stranger. However, when she realizes this so called 'mystery man' isn't so much of a mystery, she can't help but let her knees turn to jelly. Wonderfully written, and highly entertaining. Neville's progression into a suaver, and more charming individiual will have you rooting for the realtionship, while Pansy's natrual sarcasm and snark will bring you back to Hogwart's era.

Happy New Year Pansy  )

Author:Appomattoxco
Characters:Anya/Giles, Buffy/Spike
Prompt:Reccer's choice
Rating:FRT
Length: Long
Brief summary: This is season seven on crack and watching TMC. I'm not reccing it because it's my best work. I'm reccing it because it's the most fun I ever had writing a fic. I wanted this to be like a classic screwball romance and still be BtVS. I don't know if I got it right but I did manage a heck of a lot of Cary Grant shout-outs.

Faces, Percy Weasley and the Gay Vampire Cult of Oliver Wood

Claim: Harry Potter, General Series (not to be mistaken for genfic)
Title: Faces
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lovely_slyth
Characters: Draco
Prompt: #11, Character Study
Rating: G
Length: Long (2700)
Brief summary: The author really takes the time to get into Draco's head here and use his voice to go through their thoughts on all of the various Slytherins in Draco's year. Everything's well-thought out and put together here. It's very nicely put together as if it were a snippet out of a simple afternoon on a Hogsmeade weekend. A page torn out of Draco's overall story, so to speak.

Title: Percy Weasley and the Gay Vampire Cult of Oliver Wood
Author: December's Falling
Characters: Percy/Oliver
Prompt: #12, Humor
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long (4700)
Brief summary: It doesn't matter how many times I read this fic, it only gets funnier every time. Now, though, don't mistake funny and humor for parody. It's not a parody. If you've ever wanted to see Percy loosen up, then this is the fic for you.
