Down From Mt. Olympus

[walkingshadow.livejournal.com]

My rec table.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis - John Sheppard
Title: Down From Mt. Olympus
Author: trinityofone
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay.
Prompt: 11. Character Study.
Rating: NC-17.
Length: medium (4,600 words)
Brief summary: Technically this is a post-episode fic for Sanctuary, but that's not nearly all it is. It's the story of John's life, kindergarten to present moment, and it explains everything—all that emotional distance and alienation. Even better, John thinks he's found an explanation that satisfies himself.

Everything But Indifference

[eolivet.livejournal.com]

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Everything But Indifference
Author: michellek
Characters: Samantha Spade, Martin Fitzgerald. Allusions to Jack Malone.
Prompt: 43. Denial.
Rating: R.
Length: Medium.

Brief summary: Samantha goes home with Martin, but it's more difficult to stop thinking about Jack than she thought. The author makes Samantha's total unhappiness with this whole situation almost palpable. I like how Samantha is concerned about her friendship with Martin, which is how I've always seen that relationship. She seemed to sleep with Martin in direct response to Jack's leaving, and this story perfectly captures all of Samantha's mixed emotions, regrets and uncertainties about why it happened and what it might mean.

"The Lance Bass Song" and "Why Do Birds Sing So Gay?"

My prompt table/list.

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title: The Lance Bass Song
Author: Deirdre, at Infinite Passions and pierson
Characters: Lance, Chris, JC, the rest of Nsync
Prompt: 13 Established Relationship
Rating: NC17
Length: long
Brief summary: I have a great fondness for on-tour stories and this is one of the best. Lance's relationship with the mercurial Chris, JC's excentricities, the sex scenes, everything is wonderfully written, and the breakfast scene is one of my favourites in any story ever.

Title: Why Do Birds Sing So Gay?
Author: torch, at the flambeau factory and flambeau
Characters: Nsync and Backstreet Boys
Prompt: 15 Crack!Fic
Rating: -
Length: long
Brief summary: torch is a fantastic writer and this is an absolutely outstanding story in every way. Not only is it wonderfully well-written but it is also one of the best examples of crack written in the fandom ever. The plot is just enough over-the-top, the dialogue is hilarious, and everyone is slightly larger than life but still recognisably themselves, not least a young Lance who does research, formulates plans, and even tries his hand at magic while the others are mostly wringing their hands.

Big Damn Table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Ritual
Author: teaphile(teaphile)
Characters: Teyla, Elizabeth
Prompt: 36 - Family
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: Elizabeth and Teyla are caught in a hailstorm on the mainland, and -- well, that's pretty much the action/adventure part of the story. Aside from that, it's a story of friendship, respect, and the definition of family in less than one thousand words.

"Not Quite Domestic" and "through like water"

[chickpea.livejournal.com]

BIG DAMN TABLE.

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "Not Quite Domestic"
Author: Diebin at Diebin Dot Net.
Characters: Wolverine/Rogue
Prompt: 25. Kink
Rating: R (author website) or NC-17 (WR archive)
Length: medium
Brief summary: I think countertop sex is really hot. I also think that Wolverine is really hot. The two of them together, plus stockings and creative touching issues, makes this kinky and hot. Yay, countertop sex!

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "through like water"
Author: Macha at The Sticky Wicket and thestickywicket.
Characters: Wolverine/Rogue
Prompt: 26. Death
Rating: R, for violence and language
Length: medium
Brief summary: Rogue falls apart slowly and spectacularly. Logan tries to save her, but this time he can't be what she needs. Sad ending, you are duly warned. Honestly, I can't re-read this fic too often, because it's too realistic a portrayal of how things would end badly for a girl with life- and memory-sucking skin.

"A Sure Thing" and "Fissure"

[chickpea.livejournal.com]

BIG DAMN TABLE.

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "A Sure Thing"
Author: Katherine at Skin Deep and misskatherine.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 28. Dream
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: Logan has a nightmare, and Rogue comes over to make him feel better (no, not in that way, dirty minds). This fic is great because it shows Rogue's deep belief that one day, Logan will pull his head out of his ass and realize he loves her a lot. It's also great because it shows Logan just starting to do just that, just the slightest glimmer.

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "Fissure"
Author: Ransom at Eye Teeth and lilmissrrhood.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue (and others, in her head)
Prompt: 30. Seduction
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: Rogue has an incredible mutant power, and the desire to know just how much she can absorb leads Rogue down a darker path. She is seduced by her own power, wanting to know and have more. I think it's a good exploration of temptation and what Rogue could become instead of the optimistic and loving person she's oftentimes portrayed as in fanfic.

"Raincheck" and "Slow Revival"

BIG DAMN TABLE.

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "Raincheck"
Author: JJBlazer at Blazeplace and jjblazer.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 31. Discovery
Rating:
Length: medium
Brief summary: What if Rogue and Logan hadn't met in Laughlin City, but had ended up both working for Professor Xavier separately? And what if Rogue, you know, ran over Logan with her car? Fun, light-hearted fic about mutants working as spies, rainy nights in motel rooms, and a pair of handcuffs. Are you convinced yet? Go, read!

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: "Slow Revival"
Author: M Jules at mjules.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Jean
Prompt: 33. Crossover
Rating: PG-13
Length: long (series)
Brief summary: Okay, so this is kind of a stretch as a "crossover," but it's a mish-mash of Movieverse Rogue and Wolverine in a more of a comicsverse setting. Rogue and Wolverine find their ways to each other, after making stops at Gambit and Jean, respectively. This series charts character growth and motivations, and shows us why these two people could make it work together, out of all the other crazy mutants at Xavier's. Also, shallowly, I really like the title of part 1: "Lovers Less Wild."

Claim: Popslash - NSYNC/BSB Crossover
Title: "Mirror Image"
Author: patchworkdragon
Characters: Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter
Prompt: Trapped
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: //
Length: Short
Brief summary: A slight variation on the idea of being "trapped." Nick and Justin are in an obviously established relationship and Justin wants Nick to see what it is he finds so sexy and endearing about him. Nick however, has always been trapped in his self-image and doesn't understand what it is about him that Justin so dearly loves, until he finds himself trapped in a closet and suddenly, everything's hot.

Long December // Uninvited

My Rec50 Table


Claim: Popslash - NSYNC/BSB Crossover
Title: "Long December"
Author: Mercutio
Characters: Chris Kirkpatrick, AJ McLean
Prompt: Betrayal
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: AJ/Sarah
Length: Very short story
Brief summary: AJ goes through a lot in this story and you wonder how he can deal with everything. AJ and Sarah have an understanding, but Chris isn't part of it nor does he want to be. AJ gets left in the dust and when he and Sarah have problems, Chris may not be there to help him this time around. A piece originally written as an improv piece and based on lyrics from "A Long December" by The Counting Crows. Somehow, it all works.

Claim: Popslash - NSYNC/BSB Crossover
Title: "Uninvited"
Author: Lucy
Characters: Joey Fatone, Nick Carter, Chris Kirkpatrick
Prompt: Threesome
Rating: NC17
Warnings: //
Length: Short story
Brief summary: It started out as a night of games, beer, and pizza and ended up as more than Chris bargained for. Refreshingly fun and silly with that simple touch of sexiness that makes Lucy's writings so memorable. Plus, Nick's described as tall, blond, blue-eyed, and leggy; how can one go wrong with that?
