Characters: Bright, Ephram
Prompt: 07. Love
Rating: PG13

Brief summary: Why don't they ever write songs about how sick and panicky love makes you feel? Also--Leonard Cohen quote. Not a fluffy love story. Then, what good Bright love story ever is?

Title: The Surrogates Series
Author: amelia_kay
Characters: Bright, Laynie
Prompt: 05. Sex
Rating: NC17
Length: Long
Brief summary: Laynie's in love with Amy and Bright's in love with Ephram and Amy and Ephram are on a romantic jaunt to New York. Think of the wrongest things you can think of Laynie convincing Bright to do, and then imagine all the ones you couldn't think of, and then think about how that might mess them both up, especially if Amy and Ephram and everybody had an idea of what they were up to, and you still won't be able to guess what happens in this series. I have a soft spot for the pairing, and for crazy!Laynie, and for people underestimating Bright.

If It Walks Like a Duck..., Bitter Wine/Anything for You

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: If It Walks Like a Duck…
Author: Beth H, on LJ bethbethbeth
Characters: Ray, Fraser, the Kowalskis, Sara Knowles
Prompt: 27. Original Character
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: This is a funny fic, featuring a wonderful OC. Ray’s childhood friend Sara returns to Chicago, and causes a whole lot of drama and confusion for Ray and Fraser. Basically, Sara thinks Ray and Fraser are a couple, and both Ray and Fraser think that the other has a thing for Sara, even though they both have a thing for each other. Funny, light, and sexy. Sara is a tough chick, and just the kind of woman you would hope Ray would be friends with.

Title: Bitter Wine/Anything for You
Author: ToraK, on LJ torakowalski
Characters: Fraser, Ray and Ray, Stella
Prompt: 35. Threesome
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: I’ll admit a tiny soft spot for Ray/Ray/Fraser, and these two little fics just break my heart. And this is mostly a Ray/Ray, but it’s really about Ray and Fraser. Ray comes back to Chicago, and starts a friendship then a relationship with Vecchio, fresh off a breakup with The Stella. Fraser finally asks Ray to come back to Canada, but Ray and Vecchio continue their relationship, with Vecchio flying up to Canada when Fraser’s on patrol. Fraser doesn’t stay clueless for long, and the result absolutely kills me. While it’s necessary to pretend that Vecchio would be able to afford to fly to NWT every few weeks, these are two very lovely little fics that explore the very complicated relationships that exist between these three men.

Are you out there?, Tatami

My big Choey Table

Claim: *N Sync: Chris/Joey
Title: Are you out there?
Author: amy13
Characters: Chris, Joey, Lance, Justin, JC
Prompt: 03. Angst
Rating: PG
Length: Long (2 parts, second part has 3 chapters)
Brief summary: One day, Chris is not there. There’s no way to find him, no one knows where he’s gone, or why is he gone. The story centers about the reactions of the group, and their obvious sense of loss. Still, I choose it for the angst prompt because of the sequel, which explains why this happens and leads to the finding of Chris. Amy knows how to write angst scenes, though, and Are you out there? Is a tear jerker.

Claim: *N Sync: Chris/Joey
Title: Tatami
Author: Sinead smallbeer
Characters: Chris, Joey.
Prompt: 46. Reccer’s Choice
Rating: G.
Length: Short.
Brief summary: When I decided to do this, this was the first fic that came to my mind. During a short visit to Japan, Joey finds himself out of the loop. Everything is too small, everything is too fast, and he only wants to leave. While Chris seems right in his element, and insists on a traditional room for both of them, which includes a tatami. It’s Lost in Translation, years before the movie was even made, and it’s one of those stories in which you just want to reach and hug Joey because, well, he deserves a hug.

Claim: Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius
Title: "Out of the Woods"
Author: Canis M, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: Remus, Sirius
Prompt: 22. UST.
Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary: This is just a beautiful fic about the Marauders being the Marauders and Sirius really coming to terms with what he feels for Remus. Even when nothing really happens between them here. Though I love how James reacts to their relationship's inevitability.

Title: "The Truth of Masks"
Author: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Characters: Remus, Sirius
Prompt: 44. Mask.
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: The title should be a hint as to why I picked the fic to represent this prompt. A masquerade ball at Hogwarts is the basic plot. But there's a lot of depth and intrigue beyond that.
