Characters: Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows
Prompt: 07. Love
Rating: NC17
Length: Medium
Brief summary: A beautiful atmospheric PWP, a pit stop on the run, lunch outdoors and a handjob in the rain. This was the fic that immediately came to my mind when I saw the prompt because there is just this overwhelming feeling of love seeping through every sentence of this story.

Title: Coming Apart
Author:

Characters: Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows
Prompt: 43. Denial
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Michael does everything with strategy, even eating cookies. A fun, charming look into Michael's mind as he tries to distract himself from the issue at hand and finds out that denial doesn't come as easy as he would like it to.

Title: My Brother's Keeper

Characters: Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: One of the, if not *the* first, Michael/Lincoln fics ever written (long before the episode of the same name) and the first in a long line of post 1x07 Riots, Drills and The Devil hug smut pieces. Especially noteworthy, in my mind, for Michael's fascinating thoughts on the brother's past relationship.

My Table

Claim: The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle
Title: Tangled Web
Author: Jack Reuben Darcy
Characters: Bodie, Doyle, Kate Ross, Alan Cade, others
Prompt: 44: Mask
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: A gorgeously long story about the masks people wear to help them cope with life, or in Bodie and Doyle's case the machinations of Willis from MI6. Darcy writes beautifully, keeping the lads themselves (or whoever else they're trying to be), and she has a talent for tugging at your heart!

Claim: The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle
Title: Nothing Left to Lose
Author: Jane and Madeleine Ingram
Characters: Bodie, Doyle, others
Prompt: 24: Future Fic
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: I actually really like apocalypse stories, but I was impressed that anyone could write one for the lads that not only worked, but became one of my favourite fics. And as a bonus they're both wearing leathers and riding motorbikes. How can you go wrong?

Claim: The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle
Title: The Flat
Author: DVS
Characters: Bodie, Doyle, others
Prompt: 32: Secrets
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Doyle has secrets, but life carries on apace in CI5. This has the real feel of CI5 for me, and the lads are characterised beautifully – the banter is all them – and yet it's great to see below and behind this, a little into Doyle's past and how it mixes with who he is today. And what he really wants.

Brief summary: I'm a sucker for coming out fic of all kinds. This is one of the best I've found in the outtoother-accident category.

Title: Time in a Bottle
Author:

Characters: McKay/Sheppard
Prompt: 28 - Dream
Rating: NC-17 (to be safe)
Length: epic
Brief summary: I am totally stretching this prompt and I totally do not apologize. This is actually being stuck in virtual reality as opposed to a dream, but it had a lot of dream-like qualities for me.

This is a classic in the fandom so die-hard McShep fans have already read it, but it deserves it. If only for the awesome way it handles John and Math. Yum.

Title: An Affair to Remember
Author:

tiranog
Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Weir, Beckett, Cadman, Emmagen
Prompt: 3 - Angst
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic (~25,000 words)
Brief summary: I've already rec'ed Resilience by tiranog. This is her latest McShep piece, which was written for the sga reel challenge. This is a McShep remix of the movie by the same name. And let me tell you ANGST-FEST! If this doesn't make you cry... I will never have a hope of understanding you. Beautiful. (You don't have to see the movie to get this though it adds a layer of appreciation for the writing.)

Claim: The Professionals – Bodie/Doyle
Title: Temple of Venus
Author: Lizzie
Characters: Bodie, Doyle
Prompt: 36: Family
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Families do funny things to you, don't they..? Bodie is not who he appears to be. (Apart from the fact that this is an AU where Bodie is not in CI5). Mystery, angst and love. Lizzie writes beautifully, and, just as in her other fics, this is both hot and imbued with the absolute rightness of our lads together. Perfect.

Note: I rec'ed these before but then overwrote the entry. So unless you updated your friends list in that 2 minutes, you haven't seen these.

Title: The Best Thing
Author:

Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Atlantis
Prompt: 40 - Confession
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: Not only this story original in concept, provides a version of sentient Atlantis, but has a fantastic confession/reveal.

Title: Foolproof and Incapable of Error
Author:

Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Atlantis
Prompt: 45 - Trapped
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic (~15,000 words)
Brief summary: Warning: Non-consenual issues.

Another version of sentient Atlantis. (I have a thing, can you tell?)

Why didn't I pick one of the million "locked in a small space" fics? How about, because so few of them are plausible. This uses a whole different perspective on the word trapped, but it is, to me, the epitome of trapped. (Someone is forcing you to do something and you *can't* tell that it's happening.)

Claim: SGA: McKay/Sheppard
Title: Untalented and Completely Unprepared, but Giving it His Best Shot Anyway
Author: dasha
Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Beckett
Prompt: 46 - Reccer's Choice
Rating: R?
Length: long
Brief summary: What I love about this fic is not that it's Rodney helping John through an allergic reaction, although that part rocks too, it's the fabulous explanations it gives to canon things. It's also so romantic and schmoopy at the end. And as a bonus - they get outted before they are an 'us'.
