Old Shoes for New Feet

[eolivet.livejournal.com]

Claim: "Without a Trace," Jack/Samantha
Title: Old Shoes for New Feet
Author: Tahila
Characters: Samantha Spade, Martin Fitzgerald, allusions to Jack Malone.
Prompt: 22. UST.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Medium.

Brief summary: Martin and Samantha have a drink after the episode "The Bus," the ep where Samantha (accidentally) kills two suspects. It's Samantha, in pain and perhaps denial, trying to escape it all. The author perfectly captures the conversation between the eager (but wary) Martin, and the practiced (but distant) Samantha. Jack creeps up between them as an inevitable third party, even to the end. The perfect mix of resolved and unresolved sexual tension, and just spot-on S2 characterizations of all involved.

Prompt: 9. Hurt/Comfort
Rating: R (no sex, just very intensely written)

The Brittle Madness of Love, Centripedal Force

My table of Harry/Ginny recs

Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny
Prompt: Denial
Title: The Brittle Madness of Love
Author: charityj
Characters: Harry, Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: Although Harry's dating other women, he can't seem to stay away from Ginny. A well-written fic that shows these two characters in what is definitely not their finest hour, but is at once compelling and in character. Harry's clueless and Ginny struggles with her inner demons, just like I like them.


Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny
Prompt: Secrets
Title: Centripedal Force
Author: jenadamson
Characters: Harry, Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: Another sexy story in which Harry can't keep away from Ginny. In this case, the war still rages and he fears for her safety if they're seen together, but some things can't be ruled by logic.

Prompt: Vacation
Title: Disappointingly Historical
Author: delicfcd
Characters: Harry, Ginny, assorted pirates
Rating: PG
Length: short
Brief summary: Ginny tries out the Patented Daydream Charm. Because there is just not enough pirate fic out there. Short and sweet and very funny fic - recommended to all, not just shippers.
(reccer's note: okay, I know it's not really a vacation, per se. But it's kinda close! I really like this fic, and I thought it was better to rec something not exactly in the category than something not exactly worth reading.)


Claim: Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny
Prompt: Reccer's Choice
Title: Seven Fortunes
Author: maegunnbatt
Characters: Harry, Ginny
Rating: PG
Length: short
Brief summary: Her hands were marked with little stars, crossing high up on her palms over the curves and mounts. She would be a lucky child. A dreamy fic that really captures Ginny's restlessness and worry while Harry's off hunting Horcruxes. Beautiful and memorable.

Title: Reversal
Author: Ane
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 05. Sex
Rating: NC-17
Length: Short
Brief summary: I really like this one for the way Ane completely turns the canon on its toes, making Vince the aggressor. The sex is hot, and I love seeing Vince top. It's a thing with me. :). Wonderful characterization and a fun read. Even better that she gets into Vince's head -- and we get to see exactly what he wants and how he wants it.

Title: Dark Night
Author: Charles
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 19. Dark
Rating: R
Length: Short
Brief summary: A wonderful supernatural story, set during their teen years. They set off for a party, only to get lost and end up in a graveyard. A good read at any time, but especially a great one during Halloween. I like the dialogue between the two of here as well -- funny and sharp, just like the series.

Brief summary: Cho remembers the little things about Cedric: how he hated the Weird Sisters, and how he's not coming back, and how he looked at Harry (hence the vague mention of Cedric/Harry). She tries to move on, and she knows things are changing, yet can't fully bring herself to change as well.

Claim: Popslash - NSYNC/BSB Crossover
Title: "Families of Choice"
Author: zvi
Characters: Chris Kirkpatrick, Nick Carter, Aaron Carter, Boys and Syncs
Prompt: Family
Rating: G
Warnings: //
Length: Short Story
Brief summary: Shit has hit the fan with Aaron and his mom in this great short story about Nick and Chris. In an effort to help out his boyfriend's brother, Chris calls in the ranks to allow Aaron to have a Christmas that's still full of happiness and love and family. It doesn't go the way he planned it, but things will be okay. Aaron is hesitant and Chris is sorry and Nick thinks everything is sweet and in the end, families aren't always the people or name you're born into. This is a great story for the season, despite the hurt Aaron is going through. It's short and sweet and the interaction between Chris and Nick is very believable: Chris wants to make sure Nick's happy and Nick's grateful.

Length: Short Story
Brief summary: When I first read this, I had to reread it to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Howie and Justin are together, happily it seems, and everything's right in the world... Or is it? It's a look at what is and what could have been and makes readers wonder where the line between those two places actually are. And as Torch says in her summary, "No matter where you are, breakfast is the most important meal of the day"

Fingerprint Wounds

My Table.

Also, I've reposted the rec for somethin_random's Why Seth Cohen Was Not Meant To Have A Roommate, or Four Little Ways To Drive Seth Crazy, and the fic has been unflocked. Sorry!

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Fingerprint Wounds
Author: 142978
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Loss
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: This fic is like watching the pilot on fastforward and hitting play for a series of seconds. It's a *wonderful* glimpse into Seth's perspective during the events in the pilot and into Ryan leaving. It's also a great idea of how Ryan came back after he and Sandy realized that his mom abandoned him. 142978 paints a vivid picture in very few words - her Seth is very pensive and sensitive, and the idea that he cares so much about someone he's known for so little time and is so saddened by his departure - it's very, very plausible and bittersweet.

My table

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: "Of Stock and Bond..."
Author: medie
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, mentions of others
Prompt: 02. AU
Length: one-parter
Brief Summary: There's a sub-genre of Stargate fic that expands on the alternate reality from "The Changeling," often to incorporate more SG-1 and Atlantis characters. In this short, delightful piece, local civil servant Elizabeth Weir meets smoke jumper John Sheppard. The result is instant chemistry and silent death threats against one Samantha Carter for setting them up. ;-)

"Jack of Spades"

My table

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: Jack of Spades
Author: Domenika Marzione
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, others
Prompt: 31. Discovery
Length: 1077 words (nice of the author to include that info, huh? ;-) )
Brief Summary: A short, different but disturbingly plausible take on the aftermath of "The Storm" and "The Eye"--Elizabeth realizes how little she ever really knew John at all, and the barrier her new knowledge has erected between them even as it brought her and McKay closer. The part of me that's a Sheppard/Weir 'shipper has a gut aversion to this sort of an outcome for the episode, but it makes sense: Weir is, first and foremost, a peacemaker who values life above all else, and this episode would have brought home in a harsh way that whether she--or he--likes it or not, John Sheppard is a soldier and by extension a killer. Thought-provoking and disturbing, but in a good way.

Prompt: 37. Make-up
Rating:PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: A series of vignettes showing how Stuart and Vince fight and make-up. And fight and make-up and...

What I really enjoy is that Stuart isn't always the person who screws up - it's equal opportunity. And not only that, but they make-up in the most S/V ways possible. A touch, a look, a kiss. No grand gestures, just simple things. It speaks to their history together and the way they know each other so well. Danielle did a wonderful job here, and I highly recommend this fic.

"Knowledge"

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: Knowledge
Author: Little Red
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, others
Prompt: 25. Kink
Length: longish single-parter
Brief summary: I don't know if it's "kink" in the strictest sense of the word, but my personal bulletproof kink has always been telepathy, and this definitely qualifies. Like "Sober," this starts with a drink being served by new allies that turns out to be extraordinarily intoxicating and aphrodesiac: the difference is, this one also creates a telepathic link between John and Elizabeth, which, as you can imagine, makes the sex rather interesting. ;-)

Prompt: 32: Secrets
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: Pre-Germany Nsync, the early days. Johnny has just passed on the news that "the Germans" want Lance to be replaced, or the contract won't get signed. Lance is shattered because he needed this to get out of Clinton, to be with people he fit in with, to start over. JC comes to convince him to stay, but Lance has reasons why he shouldn't be in the group. I love this story for its uncomfortableness - Lance's inability to talk to JC without stumbling over his own thoughts, and JC's awkward but sincere gestures and touches. And the little ray of sunshine in the end. n And there's rain, which is always nice.

Brief summary: A Slim and Without Me double header! I got to "sex" in the prompt list and thought of this story immediately. AU - Lance is a college student who has a side business in internet porn and a crush on one of his models - JC. Whatever, this one is all about sexual self-gratification for fun and profit.
