Title: "Sleight of Hand"
Author: Adrienne, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: Crowley, Aziraphale
Prompt: 13. Established Relationship.
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: It really is an epic fic. And while it isn't extremely plot-driven, as it's essentially a 'week in the life' story, I think it's a very worthwhile read. The tone, the characterizations all follow so perfectly from the novel. And - the fic has illustrations. What more could you want?

My Rec Table

Claim: Queer as Folk: UK - General
Title: Home
Author: Rosaleen Ban
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 24. Future Fic
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: A really beautiful fic, set a few years after Stuart and Vince left Manchester. I love how natural they are with each other, both as friends and as lovers. The sex in the beginning is very hot, and I love Vince being so free. Stuart is great as well, surprising Vince and refusing to tell him where they are going. The ending just screams for more story, so bug her for some more!

Title: Knowing
Author: Margo
Characters:
Prompt: 44. Mask
Rating: NC-17
Length:Epic
Brief summary: This is a very interesting AU, with Stuart as a famous actor. He and Vince were friends before he was discovered and lost touch as Stuart rose to stardom. However, Stuart is closeted, and hiding in many ways. He has sham marriages, and has a PR man who covers up anything gay. After Stuart divorces for a third time, he heads off to clear his head, and through some interesting twists, manages to meet up with Vince, who's Stuart's PR agent has hired to help Stuart with a book he wants to write.

The result is wonderful sexual tension, and a very great AU Vince. He is super confident and assured, and dead sexy. He definitely can match this, or any other Stuart, any day of the week. A highly recommended read!

"Fixed" and "Assumed Dead"

Claim: Lost: General Series
Title: "Fixed"
Author: alliecat8
Characters: Kate with implied...well, you'll see
Prompt: Discovery
Rating: PG-13
Length: short - 7 paragraphs
Brief summary: Kate sees something the others don't...and shares her discovery in a last-minute way. This is one of my favorites because it takes a season 2 scene that was squee-worthy in it's own right and endeared it even more in my heart.

Title: "Assumed Dead"
Author: corellianjedi
Characters: again, you'll see
Prompt: Reccer's Choice - wasn't sure where to put it
Rating: PG
Length: short - set of 5 drabbles
Brief summary: I spent over a month searching for this, until the author dropped it in my lap! It was just that memorable to me. Reactions to the news...“It has been confirmed that Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 has crashed over the Pacific Ocean. All passengers are assumed to be dead.”

Claim: Lost: General Series
Title: "Middles"
Author: hkath
Characters: Hurley/Claire
Prompt: Denial
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: So this is a nice bit of fluff, although there is still a tad of angst on Hurley's part as he tries to hold back his true feelings for Claire. A short conversation on the shore, part of which was inspired by a fear I divulged to the author :P This is a fun piece!

Title: "The Three Stages of Love"
Author: holycitygirl
Characters: Jack/Sawyer
Prompt: Jealousy
Rating: PG-13, maybe R? Innocent, really.
Length: medium
Brief summary: So holycitygirl writes these medium-length fics everyday that she titles the "Lunch-break fics". And they are perfect for that...except every day she just about breaks me! With this one, she finally succeded. Told from Jack's POV, she captures his insecurities about the relationship he is having with Sawyer perfectly, until Sawyer sets him straight.

"Everything He Ever Wanted" and "Home"

Claim: Lost: General Series
Title: "Everything He Ever Wanted"
Author: swambo
Characters: Shannon/Boone
Prompt: Established Relationship
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium-long
Brief summary: I completely love the way this fic portrays the relationship between Shannon and Boone pre-crash, even if it is now AU. But the stuff set on the island is what really slays me, because Boone hopes that Shannon won't give away the reality of their situation. Totally pseudo-incestuous, so only click if that's your cup of tea!

Claim: Lost: General Series
Title: "Home"
Author: epione119
Characters: Shannon, Sabrina, Jack, and some original characters too
Prompt: Future Fic
Rating: Hmmm...PG-13, I guess
Length: long
Brief summary: This is most definitely AU now, but so heartbreaking and beautiful. It is exactly what I would want to happen to Shannon on the show...she learns her own inner strength and copes with life after being rescued. Just so touching, portraying a strong Shannon who knows she is not worthless, plus it's written by one of the best authors in the Lost fandom!
