Claim: Supernatural
Title: Someday (Never Comes)
Author: traveller
Characters: John/Mary
Prompt: 07 Love
Rating: PG-13 (T)
Length: Long
Brief summary: This story contributes a lot to fanon with speculation on John’s time in the marines, the origin of the Impala, John and Mary’s families and, of course, how John and Mary met. John/Mary is actually my favorite coupling in “Supernatural”. There are only a few stories out there right now, so it’s a real treat to find one that is well written, fun and interesting.

Claim: Backstreet Boys: general
Title: Untitled
Author: Loey, Deliciously and thisisthestory
Characters: Nick, Brian.
Prompt: 30 Seduction.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Short.
Brief summary: Brian does what he does best to make Nick feel better. Just - ngah. This is one of the most wonderfully sensual stories I think I've ever read. Brilliant characterization, delightfully playful, and the build-up is exactly right. This one left me feeling like a wee puddle of mush.

Title: Eyes to Grow Old
Author: Zoicite, Commoner's Tales and zoicite
Characters: All, Leighanne.
Prompt: 31 Discovery.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Long.
Brief summary: Brian is a family man with two families. This remains one of my favorite Backstreet stories to date. It's full of self-discovery, fear, acceptance, but most of all, love. It focuses mainly on Brian, and it's done brilliantly. If you haven't read it already, I would urge you to do so immediately.

Claim: Backstreet Boys: general
Title: Spanish Harlem
Author: Chandrah, Speaking in Tongues
Characters: AJ, Howie.
Prompt: 01 First Time.
Rating: NC-17.
Length: Epic.
Brief summary: An incredibly sensual and warm story about AJ helping Howie admit who he really is. The obvious way in which the characters care about each other is shown through AJ's patience and Howie's struggle to admit what he wants, and the careful exploration of new things is just brilliantly done. A long-time favorite of mine.

Characters: Howie, Brian, et al.
Prompt: 23 Time.
Rating: NC-17.
Length: Long.
Brief summary: This is an amazing story that follows Howie and Brian's relationship, from the beginning and many years ahead. It's fluffy without being suffocating, and occasionally it's absolutely tragic. A lot of ups and downs, which only makes the read that much better.
