Characters: Mulder & Skinner

Claim: X-Files, Mulder/Skinner
Title: Hostage

Author:Xanthe
Characters: Mulder. Skinner, Scully, many more
Prompt:19. Dark
Rating: NC-17
Length:epic, 16,817
Summary:Set after Folie A Deux, this story is a classic example of Muldertorture. Mulder has just been released from lock-up and he is thrown into a hostage-negotiation. Amid derision and scorn, he struggles with the case and his own demons. Skinner's respect and care for Mulder is slowly revealed up to the bittersweet climax.

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Sympathy Card
Author: [livejournal.com profile] babythunder
Characters: Jack Malone, Samantha Spade. Allusions to Vivian Johnson, Danny Taylor and Martin Fitzgerald.
Prompt: 26. Death.
Rating: PG.
Length: Short.

Brief summary: Jack comforts Samantha after a loss of a loved one, and his own loss is almost palpable. The author's vivid descriptions add to the story's emotional resonance. It's so effective because, while Samantha has experienced the loss, the loss Jack feels for Samantha is much, much deeper.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: What Separates Us
Author: miera
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, mention of others
Prompt: 41. Redemption
Length: between 1000-2000 words, roughly
Brief summary: After her conversation with Halling in "The Siege, part I," Elizabeth talks to Sheppard about their decision to destroy Atlantis rather than let it--and the way to Earth--fall into Wraith hands. Something of a stretch for this prompt, but I think it fits because what the conversation comes around to is what saves them from being no better than the Genii, willing to sacrifice others to save themselves.

Thought of this one right after I posted the last rec. Oops.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: Soldiering On
Author: [livejournal.com profile] medie
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, OC
Prompt: 27. Original Character
Length: medium-length one-parter
Brief summary: On the surface, it's a simple what if: what if there had been a Tok'ra on the Atlantis team? But the story doesn't take long to dive much deeper, because this isn't just any Tok'ra, but a Tok'ra named Zara/Ayalah who is deeply in love with Colonel Marshall Sumner, and who loses her reason for coming to Atlantis within twenty-four hours of the city's habitation. But, that being said, the story is IMO more about Elizabeth getting an inkling, a preview if you will, of just what the dream is going to cost them all before the end, even more keenly than she did in the episode as it aired. And it's about her taking personal responsibility for every member of her team, even one whose presence she remains slightly dubious of.

Claim: X-Files, Mulder/Skinner
Title: 24/7
Author: Xanthe
Characters: Mulder, Skinner
Prompt: 25. Kink
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: First, please read all warnings. This is not for the squeamish. It is a very hardcore BDSM story. But beneath that it is a tale of redemption, love and self-discovery. Genuinely sweet moments reside amidst the kink.

Claim: X-Files, Mulder/Skinner
Title: Dry Heat
Author: Frogdoggie at Three Way Stop
Characters: Mulder, Skinner, ocs
Prompt: 24. Future Fic
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: A post-colonization fic, Dry Heat finds Skinner traveling America looking for his lost lover, Mulder. His travels take him to a dusty town called Godwillin, where he makes friends and... well, I don't want to give the ending away. I liked the details of the future times and seeing Skinner as a lone ranger figure on the open road. Some dark moments, but hey, its X-Files, what do you expect?

Big Damn Table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Shadows Before Dawn
Author: the moonmoth ([livejournal.com profile] the_moonmoth)
Characters: Teyla, McKay
Prompt: 24 - Future Fic
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This is set at an indeterminate point in the future, where Teyla has gone through the same type of scenario many times, and finally cracks when one more mission goes wrong in just the right way. I like the idea of that, that it is just one more bad thing, but that one thing is enough at some point to totally swamp her.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Tantalus
Author: kbk ([livejournal.com profile] kbk)
Characters: Elizabeth, Teyla, John
Prompt: 25 - Kink
Rating: Mature
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Threesomes with two women and a guy are very rare in this fandom, and oh, the kink in this is that the women are the ones running the show, even if physically, they are the ones being fucked. Don’t think too hard about characterization in this. Instead, think 'power', 'control', and 'hot.'

PSA: No matter how old a story is, most authors like to hear that people are reading their work, so please think about leaving feedback when you're done. Thanks!

Author: Rosalita
Characters: Mulder, Skinner
Prompt: 42. Holiday
Rating: NC-17
