Something to Remember Me By, Currency

[fairestcat]

Hi, I'm Cat. I've volunteered to rec Rodney McKay. The table of my prompts is here

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: Something to Remember Me By
Author: kate98
Characters: Rodney McKay, Sam Carter, Jonas Quinn
Prompt: Threesome
Rating: M
Length: medium
Brief summary:

An unusual and fabulously hot threesome, with a Rodney characterization based solely on McKay's SG-1 appearances. This is a Rodney who's not afraid to ask for what he wants. And not above a little gentle manipulation to help things along. The build-up is fast-paced and funny and gloriously in character for all parties and the sex is just incredibly, incredibly hot. I don't normally link to excerpts in my recs, but kate98's dialogue is so fantastic, I just had to include a snippet.

( 'Hitting on you?' Sam asked incredulously. 'You think McKay is hitting on you?' )

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: Currency
Author: siegeofangels
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, brief appearnces by Cadman, Zelenka and assorted OCs.
Prompt: Time
Rating: G
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Rodney McKay's time is a valuable commodity. Or at least he thinks it should be. siegeofangels follows a post-it note labeled "THIS NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED FOR THIRTY MINUTES OF RODNEY MCKAY'S TIME" through the Atlantis barter system, until it finally reaches the hands of someone willing to cash it in. A clever premise makes for a sweet, funny story, and the three alternate endings are all utterly perfect.

Leave The Light On, Support Network

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Claim: Doctor Who, general series
Title: Leave The Light On
Author: cherryice
Characters: Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler, Ninth Doctor, Julia Harkness (original)
Prompt: 6 - Anger
Rating: 14A
Length: Long
Brief summary: A sharp character study of Jack, weaving a plausible (and painful) backstory with his time on the TARDIS. The story of what happened to his sister comes in bits and pieces, slowly making more and more sense and reflecting on who he's becoming. And the use of pomegranates for symbolism works gorgeously.

Claim: Doctor Who, general series
Title: Support Network
Author: booster17
Characters: Sarah Jane Smith, Jackie Tyler
Prompt: 47 – Reccer's Choice
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: In the wake of School Reunion, this is exactly what I wanted to see. Sarah Jane seeks out Rose's mother to offer support. The two women couldn't be more different, but they've got the Doctor and pain to bind them together.

Omiai, A Picture of Home

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: Omiai
Author: Rose Emily toomuchplor
Characters: Clark, Lex
Prompt: 02. AU
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary:
This is an amazing story about Lex basically bribing Clark to marry him in exchange for Lex paying Clark's way through college. So yes, it's AU, but it's also first, future fic and college fic. Is there anything better? Lex and Clark are themselves, but without Lex ever moving to Smallville and meeting Clark.

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: A Picture of Home
Author: Wendi
Characters: Clark, Lex, mouse
Prompt: 04. Fluff
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: This story is, quite simply, hilarious. Clark is just out of college and living in typical post-college squandor. Lex comes to visit (with take-out) and wackiness ensues. This is adorable and laugh-out-loud funny.

Freshman Orientation, Primary

Table of recs

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: Freshman Orientation
Author: Punk
Characters: Clark, Lex, Chloe, Pete
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: College fic is the ultimate fandom cliche in Smallville fandom, particularly for Clark/Lex, and this story just gets the whole feeling of starting college exactly right, from buying books to living in dorms.

Claim: Smallville, Clark/Lex
Title: Primary
Author: velvetglove
Characters: Clark, Lex, OFC (Clark's sister)
Prompt: 20. Fight
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: This story takes place years down the line. Clark and Lex have broken up because of Lex's shadier business decisions, and now he's set to get married to someone else. Velvetglove does a great job of showing Clark's melancholy - he still loves Lex, even after all of these years and even after what's happened. There's also a fantastic little OC in the form of Clark's little sister named Franny who loves Lex almost as much as Clark does.

Characters: Clark, Lex, Geraldo
Prompt: 29. Oops
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: Clark gets arrested in Metropolis for prostitution. He's stuck in a cell wearing a tube top and skirt as he waits for Lex to arrive. No. Words. Except these: Hot. Mmm. More. Great sex, amazingly funny, and I love protective, ruthless Lex.

Prompt: 31. Discovery
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: Clark's in college and living in a house with four girls. Lex goes to visit and finds out that he's Clark's boyfriend. An interesting discovery. The girls that Clark is living with are all fleshed out, real people, and that makes me like this story so much more.

So Let The Bells Ring Out, Generations

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

Claim: Doctor Who, general series
Title: So Let The Bells Ring Out
Author: doyle_sb4
Characters: Mickey Smith, Tenth Doctor
Prompt: 7 - Love
Rating: PG
Length: Long
Brief summary: In the aftermath of The Christmas Invasion, Mickey is instructed to keep an eye on the Doctor while Rose and Jackie are out. Both the boys are fantastically characterized, with Mickey absolutely bemused by the Doctor's short attention span, and the inclusion of copious amounts of Old School canon makes me squee with delight. For everyone who ever wondered what became of all the Companions who parted ways with the Doctor. (Note: Has been slightly jossed by School Reunion, but is still more than worth the read.)

Title: Generations
Author: calapine
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Reinette, Rose Tyler, First Doctor, Susan Foreman, others
Prompt: 36 - Family
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Yes, it's more New School/Old School merging, this time carefully constructing a story of the Doctor's family that plays with the time travel inherent in the system, and with a plausible, heartfelt romance. Plus, Susan seeking many different kinds of information while trying to rebuild civilization with David provides a spot of humor and a kind eye to the possibilities of her life after being left behind.
