Lex F***ing Luthor + Silk

My Table.

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Lex F***ing Luthor
Author: boundbyspells
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Fluff
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This isn't exactly a *fluffy* fic, but it's cute and the perfect amount of teenage angst. Seth is kept awake - subconsciously - by Ryan on a date, and he watches Smallville to pass the time. boundbyspells's Seth is *very* appropriately dramatic, and this fic feels like one of those fics that could totally have been an episode. ( Examples. )

Title: Silk
Author: barely_bean
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Sex
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Guhhhh, Seth and Ryan and silk pajamas. This is a wonderful mix of humor and hotness, and the dialogue is awesome. ( Examples. )

It's a s1 fic, so it still has that new friendship sense of uncertainty and awkwardness, and just enough of it to make it feel like it could be canon.

Unlucky At Pinochle + Greetings From Planet Seth

[beingothrwrldly.livejournal.com]

My Table.

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Unlucky At Pinochle
Author: wearemany
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Humor
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Seth loses a bet, and has to make out with Ryan for two minutes. Video cameras are involved. Heh.

Seriously, though, this story is brilliant - it's inspired by the video that went around a few months back, of the two boys making out on the bed while assorted girls squealed in the background. It's clever and the dialogue snaps, and it's also a perfect explanation as to why Seth and Ryan would actually make out to begin with. Half of it is from Seth's POV, the other half from Ryan's, and it's so in-character and funny.

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Greetings From Planet Seth
Author: amerella
Characters: Seth/Ryan, Ryan/Theresa
Prompt: Angst
Rating: light R
Length: Long
Brief summary: I sometimes wonder if amerella is Seth Cohen. The way she writes him just flows so perfectly, it's absolutely amazing. This is a post-s1 AU, and Seth goes to visit Ryan in Chino with Theresa. I love the way she portrays Theresa, in this fic - seen through Ryan's eyes, it seems like she can hear everything that Seth and Ryan aren't saying - it has a very sad tone to it.

I also love how everyone in this fic knows that everything should be *different*, but none of them are quite sure how to get it there.

Nymphadora, The Changes of Time

I'm a big Remus/Tonks fan so that is most of what I read. Fair warning, however I am going to try to reccomend one Remus/Tonks and one non-R/T fic each time.

Prompt: 15. Crack!Fic

Prompt: 25. Kink
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Millie Weasley did something amazing; she wrote one sex-filled story for every day in May. Every kink is in here, warnings are beside each individual story. The Changes of Time charts the Lupin/Tonks relationship from the beginning through their first child, is well-written, and coherent.

If you read the stories, please take time to feedback the authors -- it's *always* appreciated!

My Rec Table


Claim: Queer as Folk: UK - General
Title: Stuart's Women - Roisin
Author: Paddy
Characters: Stuart, Vince, Original Character, Alfie
Prompt: 27. Original Character
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: I think I fell in love with Roisin from the get go. I adore the idea that Stuart would have a daughter, and Paddy wrote this perfectly. You can tell that Roisin is much smarter than both Vince and Stuart, and that she has all the cleverness of her Da. What I appreciate about the fic is that we get Roisin from a wee age up to age fourteen, and we get to see Stuart and Vince deal with her the entire way. Paddy has a wonderful way of showing the interaction between parent and child, and gives her characters some of the best lines in any QAF:UK fic. The story is warm, amusing and fun to read.

Brief summary: This story, told from Cameron's POV, really gets me every time. For some reason, what he sees just tears at my little heart. It's one of my favourite for this reason. It's sweet, plus has a wonderful dose of Stuart jealousy.

Rating: PG-13/NC-17 (depends on whether or not you read the bonus scene :))
Length: Long/Epic
Summary: Due to a slight misunderstanding during a Quidditch game, Hermione finds herself starting to be inexplicably drawn to Charlie. Much to her amazement, Charlie starts to feel the same way. UST at its best: the fic is realistic & hilarious (and the bonus scene, if you're in to that, is incredibly hot!) On a personal note, it's written by one of my most favorite people in HP fandom.

Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche
Rating: R
Length: Epic
Summary: One of the fifty bazillion Marriage-Law fics out there between Snape & Hermione. But this is really well-written. It gives Hermione a darker edge & Snape a redemptive one (pre-HBP, but still), yet both are still marvelously in character. Also indugles in the typical sexy!Snape, but really, what's not to love about that? (Warning: this does take place while Hermione is still a student: she is 17 - but if that's a squick of yours, be prepared.)

Carousel, The New Year's Eve Party

My table of Harry/Ginny fic recs

Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny
Prompt: Make-Up
Title: Carousel
Author: poseida9
Characters: Harry, Ginny
Rating: PG-13
Length: short
Brief summary: I love the way Poseida writes, and I love the way she writes Harry and Ginny. This is a great reconciliation fic, although it is pre-HBP. She can live without him. She's heard women whose husbands died in the war say that their men were all they had, that it was impossible to live without them, and she doesn't quite believe them. He wasn't hers, anyway, and she never wanted him to be.

Characters: Harry, Ginny, Molly, others
Rating: PG
Length: short
Brief summary: fluffy, and cute. This is a bit outside Poseida's usual poetic style, but it is just the thing to curl up with on a rainy day.
