Table of Recs

Claim: Harry Potter: General
Title: Parseltongue-Tied
Author: DementorDelta
Characters: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Prompt: First Time
Rating: R
Length: Long: 91K
Brief summary: Harry makes friends with one of nature's shy creatures.

One of the classics, but I just couldn't resist recing it. I love the subtle hints that are given throughout the story, so that when you read it again, you wonder "How could I have not known?" It's a playful feel good romp that I enjoyed reading over and over again.

Claim: Harry Potter: General
Title: Heir of Corvus
Author: Lady-Treason
Characters: Harry Potter
Prompt: AU
Rating: M
Length: Epic: 102,989
Brief summary: Taken from a doorstep ten years previous, Harry James Potter-Corvus, the heir to the throne of the Corvus Clan is a vampire, and he’s damn proud of it. Now, the Wizarding world is about to find out what happened to their hero. Will they recognise talent when they see it, or will prejudice get in the way?

I know it sounds cliché but if it is, it is the best cliché I have ever read. This is the first of 7 books that will follow Harry Potter-Corvus through his years at Hogwarts. The first thorugh fourth books are complete and I believe the author is working on the fifth at the present. While the premise may not entice you, I can assure you the twists and turns in the plot will drag you in if you give it a chance. This is a world that I cannot give enough praise to.

Thicker Than Water

[rachael-recs.livejournal.com]

My Sheppard/McKay rec50 table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: Thicker than Water
Author: Julad (julad)
Characters: Sheppard/McKay
Prompt: 36 - Family
Rating: Mature
Length: Novella
Brief summary: I was tempted to put this on my 'comfort fic' list, but decided to use it for the family slot instead. John and Rodney end up spending some of their vacation away from the SGC with Rodney's sister, who has 2 kids and a rough divorce. The beautiful thing about this story is how well the original characters are drawn -- Jeanie and her kids, John's dad -- all very believable and they never overwhelm the story.

And did I mention the ski holiday?

"Sexual Dead Things" + "Canticle"

[turlough]

My prompt table/list.

Claim: Backstreet Boys: general
Title: Sexual Dead Things
Author: Kate & Nic, at sirkate & xoverau
Characters: AJ, Kevin
Prompt: 19 Dark
Rating: explicit sex
Length: long/epic, episodic
Brief summary: I've choosen the prompt Dark for this story because it's there everything starts: at night, in the dark club where AJ, the college student and method actor doing research, meets Kevin, the cross-dressing punk/goth singer doing a gig. The first chapters bristles with the tension between them, and while later installments may lack this they more than makes up for it with hot sex and interesting character development. This AJ and especially this Kevin are very different from how they usually are portrayed in fanfic, and it definitely adds to the appeal of this wonderfully unusual story.

Claim: Backstreet Boys: general
Title: Canticle
Author: Nic, at xoverau
Characters: BSB
Prompt: 26 Death
Rating: -
Length: medium
Brief summary: This is an enormously powerful and gripping story about Fae and mortals, creativity and music, love and death. The language matches the story, beautiful and haunting and not letting you go even at the end.
