Claim: X-Files, Mulder/Skinner
Title: Betrayal
Author: Xanthe
Characters: Mulder, Skinner
Prompt: 38. Betrayal
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic, 14269
Brief summary: Yes, another Xanthe story. But for the prompt of betrayal, I could only think of this wonderful story of the same name that examines betrayal in several forms.
"I suppose, in the end, that you can betray somebody, as we both did, simply because you love them too much, a strange truth, but real nonetheless."

Things Left Unsaid

[eolivet.livejournal.com]

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Things Left Unsaid
Author: Cynically Optimistic
Characters: Jack Malone, Samantha Spade.
Prompt: 24. Future Fic.
Rating: PG.
Length: Medium.

Brief summary: There is something so sad about this fic -- Jack going to visit Samantha after she's transferred, after she's married, but after a crisis. The author pinpoints each character's vulnerability, and both their familiar uneasiness with and lingering feelings for each other. The characters don't end up together, but you don't expect that. It's an ending that makes a lot of sense, based on what we've seen of the characters in the series -- almost reassuring in the idea that while they'll never be together, they'll also never really be apart.

Prompt: 26 - Death
Rating: Mature

Brief summary: Sora was the female Genii soldier captured during the storm, the one who blamed Teyla for her father's death. We never learned what happened to her, other than she was imprisoned on Atlantis for a while.

Title: Gone
Author: JiM
Characters: Mulder, Skinner
Prompt: 11. Character Study
Rating: G
Length: long, 7000
Brief summary: A road trip, a nervous breakdown and Robert Frost. This is a Walter character study, and a beautifully sad one, at that. Actually 5 stories, but the five really need to be read together.

Prompt: 35. Threesome
Rating: NC-17
Length: long, 4000
Brief summary: Yes, yes, more from Blue Mohair Bear. But this is for sure the sexiest threesome story I've found in this fandom. Walter is home alone and his two scheming lovers have left him a present. There are two follow up stories with more of the same, if you like this one.

"Masked" and "The Tree House"

[callsigns.livejournal.com]

my rec table

Claim:*NSYNC, JC Chasez
Title: Masked

Author: kel (throughadoor and her popslash fic at songs about the impossibility of singing)
Characters: JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Britney Spears, other *NSYNC members and Backstreet Boys
Prompt: 44. Masked
Rating: PG
Length: long (9624 words)
Summary: Reality TV AU! JC’s picked to be a contestant on that show where the guys wear masks and the girl picks them based on their personalities – yeah, right. On the show, JC meets Chris, they make each other’s time on the show more bearable and of course by the show’s end, JC has to determine what he wants and why. You see a lot of JC characterizations where he doesn’t really know what he wants or why he wants it, but this one progresses very nicely from a JC with no purpose to a JC with a reason for wanting something, and the end is ridiculously sweet.

Title: The Tree House

Author: mintwitch (mintwitch and her popslash fic in her LJ memories)
Characters: JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick
Prompt: 4. Fluff
Rating: G
Length: medium (2046 words)
Summary: JC's Orlando house was one of the casualties of the 2004 hurricane season – "Like, I had this humongous crane at my house because the tree that fell into my house was probably like, what - anywhere between sixty and a hundred thousand pounds." (<- actual JC quote) Mintwitch describes JC's journey through the aftermath of this traumatic event, from sleeping in his Jeep to cultivating some penicillin bread. And then Chris comes to save him. This is so inside JC's head, it's frightening. And I mean that on several levels. :)

Hi, I'm your Harry/Draco reccer. Apologies on the slowness on getting started, but I am planning on doing all 50 eventually!

Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Draco
Title: Beautiful World
Author: Cinnamon
Characters: Harry, Draco
Prompt: 26. Death
Rating: PG-13 at the beginning, R by the end
Length: Epic
Brief summary: This was the only story that I immediately knew I had to rec for a certain prompt. Beautiful World will rip your heart out. It may or may not put it back. Keep a box of tissues on hand for this one. The writing is gorgeous, sad and dreamy. The characters are spot on, and the development is beyond fabulous. I doubt that many people are out there who haven't read it yet, but, if you're a H/D shipper and you haven't, you need to.

Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Draco
Title: Old City Jasmine
Author: silentauror
Characters: Harry, Draco
Prompt: 42. Holiday
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: silentauror does atmosphere like nobody's business. Actually, she does everything like nobody's business. This is one of my favorite fics of hers, and she's written lots. The story delves deep into Harry and Draco's relationship, and does the transition from enemies to friends to lovers very well. SA shows the why of it--it's so easy to see why it works, why they're good for each other. Add that with the hot dreamy haze of Damascus, and touches of mid-war drama, and just stellar writing--mmmmm.

Band of Gold, Seeing Red

[geekwriter143.livejournal.com]

The NickandGreg.com site is back up after switching hands, so I can give you two more recs in an effort to help you cleanse your minds of the evil, evil pornstache. My N/G rec table is here.

Claim: CSI, Nick/Greg
Title: Band of Gold
Author: stareyednight
Characters: Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Sara Sidle
Prompt: Discovery
Rating: G
Length: short
Brief summary: I am not a big fan of marriage fic. In fact, most times I'd rather spork myself than read marriage fic. However, this one's different. It's not sappy or cheesy, it's sweet and subtle and every time I read it, it leaves a warm feeling in my chest. Plus, I completely adore stories where Sara is Greg and Nick's friend and ally.

Claim: CSI, Nick/Greg
Title: Seeing Red
Author: serenity151979
Characters: Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders
Prompt: non-con
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: I don't do typical n/c—it's just not something I'm into. However, in Nick/Greg there's canon n/c in one of the character's pasts, and I think Serenity handles it very well here. Sometimes it's hard for CSIs to be as detached from the victim as they're supposed to be, and a particularly difficult case hits both Nick and Greg hard.
