Brief summary: Set during The Lost Boys.

Brief Summary: A song, a dream, an obsession...a mission.
Why You Should Read It: This is one of the absolute best Daniel/Janet stories on the web. The author weaves the story around a wonderful song, one I'd recommend to almost anyone. Without putting Daniel & Janet in a life threatening situation, the author lets us see the characters, relaxed and enjoying themselves. It's a lovely look into a very special moment in thier lives.

Length: Medium, 30 pages.
Brief Summary: Daniel wants to get Janet's attention, the guys from Queer Eye are there to help!
Why You Should Read It: This is just a cute crossover. Yes, it's more than a little out of character for Daniel to submit himself to something like a reality show, but aside from that it's just fun. The author gets Carson's voice and you can't help but giggle at the way the Guys deal with Daniel, or thier observations during his "reveal".

My Rec Table

Claim: Queer as Folk: UK - General
Title: Close
Author: Cesare almostnever
Characters: Stuart/Vince
Prompt: 22. UST
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long

Brief summary: This story is nestled in with Cesare's 'Almost Never' series. I do believe it can stand on its own. And what a great read it is. She has a knack for them as teens, and this story to me, really represents a lot of the sexual tension we see in the series. The story centers around the unfinished wank that Stuart and Vince had, and adds a lot of wonderful plot surrounding them. Cesare is a real master at pulling off effortless fics, and this one just fits in so well with canon, that I wish we had this on screen. The bracelets make an appearance in this fic as well, and its done in such a brilliant way -- and you begin to see why they are so close.

There is a good dose of Hazel and Alex, not to mention a bit of sneaking around after they come back to Manchester. I love how Alex writes Hazel and Alex as well as the boys. I really adore her Hazel, especially here. A fun read, with exotic locales, and some lovely hot sex to boot!

Prompt: 40. Confession
Rating: NC-17
Length:Long
Brief summary: A night of drinking leads to Stuart finally confessing his one regret. I like the way the author did this -- because I think its entirely plausible for Stuart to get completely pissed and admit flat out about regretting that he didn't get a chance to shag Vince when they were younger. I really like how they don't shag immediately, and that Vince assumes that Stuart is lying, or just being his usual self. A great read with some loving shagging to boot!

Brief summary: I picked this story for this particular prompt because it really captures the emotional 'trapped' that Stuart and Vince operate under. They both know how they feel, but can't break out of their own worlds to face up to each other and be completely truthful. This story takes them from when they first meet, up until the present, the feelings still there, things always unsaid, but known. A great read.
