Fog

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Fog
Author: Midnight Caller
Characters: Samantha Spade, Jack Malone, with a cameo by Danny Taylor. References to Paula Van Doren.
Prompt: 38. Betrayal.
Rating: R
Length: Long.

Brief summary: The gorgeous imagery of the weather fits perfectly with the plot: a professional betrayal by Jack that Samantha takes personally. In keeping with their characters' relationship, Jack then follows Samantha to apologize, and they make up in a most personal way. The author paints an incredibly vivid picture, contrasting the rain and the fog with the somewhat hazy conditions of the relationship, which gradually both clear up, at least for the time being.

"Aliens Made Them Do It with Teyla" series

[rachael-recs.livejournal.com]

My Big Damn Table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: "Aliens Made Them Do It with Teyla" series
Author: kharessa bloodrose(kharessa)
Characters: Teyla, Sheppard, Mckay, Ford (in mention)
Prompt: 10 - Fandom Cliche
Rating: PG-13 to R/NC-17
Length: Medium for individual stories; long for the series overall
Brief summary: In SGA, "Aliens made them do it" (AMTDI) stories are piled up as thickly as leaves in autumn; it's an incredibly popular cliche. However, this series strips away the more light-hearted aspects of the conceit and instead, it plays around with the darker side. So issues of power and coercion are bought up, and the set of 4 stories framed with non-con concerns. While I would not say that the Teyla, John or Rodney of these stories truly fit my own view of who the characters are, the experiment is and of itself very interesting. Because of where the author takes the characters, these stories are at least minimally uncomfortable, and the second story -- Saving Face which focuses on 'domestic discipline' -- I found particularly difficult to read.

There are 4 unconnected stories in this series, and I have only linked to the first. The rest of them are linked in at the end of each story. There is also an essay on what the author hoped to do with this exploration of power issues, that is available here.

Title: "Homespun Love"
Author: uberaeryn
Characters: Sawyer, Jack
Prompt: 15, Crack!fic
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This is my favorite crack!fic ever: Sawyer and Jack as hillbillies, living in a trailer park in Tennessee! What if Sawyer's mama was still around (and prone to lots of home cooking) and he never became a con man? And what if Jack wasn't a doctor but a general contractor? You still have the hot, hot sex but minus all that angst. Inspired by Keith Urban's song of the same name. Even if you don't like songfic or don't know the song, this is still immensely enjoyable, funny, and oh yeah, hot.

Brief summary: I know everyone on my flist knows about this, but in case you don't, here's the premise: Jack and James are teenagers both attending the same high school in LA in the '80s. Jack's the rich Golden Boy, James the mysterious outsider and they're drawn to each other one night at a booze-filled party at Jack's house. This began as a fabulous one-off story and now it's become a complete 'verse all to itself with its own comm: jackjames_verse, with several other writers besides foxxcub (including myself) continuing and deepening the story.

Characters: Fred Weasley, with appearances by Remus and various other members of the order
Prompt: #14 Loss
Rating: M (Mature)
Length: Long (9000)
Brief summary: This story, written from Fred's point of view, is a story about searching for answers in a time of loss. It takes place over the summer between Harry's fifth and sixth years. Everyone is hurting from Sirius' death and Fred requests the Marauders' Map back from Harry so that he can find some answers on his own from the source, so to speak. It is sad and heart-wrenching and has underlying tones of Remus & Sirius having been together.

Rating: PG
Length: Long (2100)
Brief summary: Harry has been cursed in the final battle against Voldemort. It's not a pretty sight and he has very few visitors anymore, except for one cranky potions master trying to keep the curse at bay. The author seems to speak from a very personal place here as we're let in on a conversation about permanent and real goodbyes. Be careful with your heart as you read it, but definitely read it.

Brief summary: People, this is Neko we're talking about. You know it's going to be good. Set after Endgame and using speculation from Season Four, she created this brilliant possibility of what it could be like for Martin after the shooting. Martin's angry and frustrated with everything, the situation, his injuries, and most of all Danny, who is all of a sudden not acting like himself.

Claim: Gundam Wing General
Title: Enslaving Heero
Author: Akuma
Characters: Heero, Duo, Wufei, Dorothy, others, including OCs. (2x1, Dx5, CxR)
Prompt: Sex.
Rating: NC17 and then some!
Length: Epic, WIP
Brief summary: Sigh. How do I explain this one in a paragraph or two? After the war Heero figures out he's a submissive and goes online to find himself a Master. He finds GoD and signs himself over to be his slave. When they meet Heero finds out that it's Duo, but the deal has been made. This story actually has a plot and some mystery in it, but mostly it's Sub!Heero in kittten ears and his Master. Lots of sex. Graphic sex. Sex with and without toys and props. It is a WIP but it's almost done and I just had to rec it because this is the ultimate Gundam Sex fic in my mind.

Claim: Gundam Wing General
Title: Anytime
Author: Calic0cat
Characters:Duo, Heero, Relena (1x2)
Prompt: Anger
Rating: FRM
Length: Long
Brief summary: While this story does progress into a loving relationship this story has a lot of justifiable anger and dealing with the aftereffects of being betrayed. If you're a Relena lover, sorry about that because she isn't painted in a very good light in this one. Seems Miss Relena thinks it's a good idea to tie up a former soldier like Heero to help him get over his control issues. Things backfire and Duo is called in to help, but Shinigami really wants to thwap her a good one for being an idiot. So do I.

Psychic Serpent, Wake the Dead

Prompt: First Time
Title: Harry Potter and the Psychic Serpent and sequels
Author: Barb, aka psychic_serpent
Characters: Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, ensemble
Rating: R
Length: epic
Brief summary: Barb's series is a classic among Harry/Ginny fics for its adventure and suspense. It is definitely a 'must read' for any fan of the pairing. I'm reccing it in the "first time" category because it contains one of the best depictions of a first sexual experience (in the second part, Harry Potter and the Time of Good Intentions) that I've read anywhere, it is both poignant and realistic.


Prompt: AU (Alternate Universe)
Title: Wake the Dead
Author: Syn, aka cicatrixstories
Characters: Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, ensemble
Rating: NC-17 (for violence and sexual content)
Length: long
Brief summary: Harry & Co. fight zombies. I think that's all I should have to say. This is a great action/adventure fic, with lots of scary parts and some romance as well. :) WARNING: extreme violence and character death.

Rating: G/PG
Length: short
Brief summary: Fearthainn is better known as a Draco/Ginny writer, but this is a happy exception to the rule. She describes this fic as "the angsty fic of doom," so I thought it would work well in this category. ;) author's summary: Ginny returns from France a new woman, and Harry is interested.

Prompt: Fluff

Author: basilm
Characters: Ginny
Rating: G/PG
Length: two short stories
Brief summary: Ginny takes a quiz in the Quibbler to determine her ideal romantic type, and then compiles a list of long-term friends for romantic consideration. These are both sweet, simple little fics: fluff of the best kind. They will put a smile on your face, no doubt.

Rating: NC-17

Brief summary: When Harry beats Ron at chess Ron must do whatever Harry wants him to even dress up in Ginny's clothes. This fic features my favorite kink of men in drag, which for Harry Potter is a fandom cliche, because every character had been written with drag at least once, but more like multiple times. This is such a hot, little one-shot that's quite enjoyable.( Excerpt )

When he steals her sole quill in retribution, Ginny's forced into a twisted game of domination and submission. (This goes to show you that I am generally not a very kinky girl... sorry you kink seekers! ;) ) Also, I loved this fic... except the whiney crying Ginny telling Malfoy about her family's financial problems... I just don't ever see her doing that... but the other 99% of the story is briliant!

Prompt:Crossover Neil Gaiman/Harry Potter
Rating:R
Length: short
Brief summary: Evil, evil, evil Draco and Paragon-who's-saving-the-world Ginny, sticking tiresomely to goody-goody Harry. And only one hotel room. They're SO tired from their search for King Arthur's sword in Avalon...but then again, maybe not as tired as they thought. But she thoroughly despises him. Doesn't she? Oh, and various gods, goddesses, and immortal beings begin to meddle in the affairs of mortals. It's Halloween night, when the veil between the worlds grows thin... Set in Irina's Pendragon universe.
I picked this one for the crossover fic because it's a Neil Gaiman/Harry Potter crossover and since I have absolutly no time for Buffy/Harry Potter etc. (I have never yet read a good one) I thought this would be about a billion times better as a crossover fic! :) I hope you enjoy.

It's like a snippet from an episode, and I can see it and hear it and everything. It's like, if Josh wrote fic, this would be his fic. It's also just an adorable few scenes, some great peeks into Seth and Ryan's friendship/relationship, and great discussion about both.
