A Rec List [Part Four]
Part Four: Original
All fics here are ones that I enjoyed reading and/or found intresting, thus only the really, really special ones will get stars by them. By that, I mean the fics that had me in a dazed fog of fangirl glee for the rest of the week...
<3 - Loved to bits
¤ - Not Finished Reading
Comment: It seems, for some reason, to be harder to find good original fiction... This is a mystery.
The Problem With Elephants by scoradh
R-ish, Angst, Humor
Summary: Two schoolboys with the hots for one aother, a bit of angt and pretentious prose.

Bless Me Father by ILGMA
R, Romance, Humor
Summary: 'Yeah, perfectly normal', Drake thought, attempting to ignore the aching bulge in his pants. 'If said peer was a girl...' Two Catholic school boys, one distraught and the other confused.
Comment: Lets just say I'm a sucker for when religion clashes with homosexuality. The guilty, confused, in-the-closet-ness just makes me one happy girl...
Boxers' Rebellion by Rykaine

Comment: Hot! Not to forget damn good!
The Cole Turns To Ash by Naked Penguin Fetus For Pope
R, Humor, Drama
Summary: 16 year old Cole is sarcastic, apathetic, pessimistic, and just well...a lump of coal. The complete opposite of one Ashton Matthews.
Comment: I love this one simply because the main character is so dys-functional, but isn't weak and boring because of it!
Dear Diary by carsonshepherd

Dial Tone by Comodin
PG-13, Slash, Romance, Humor, WIP
Summary: One number carved into an Old Navy bathroom stall. One miserable, MusicFilled Educational Summer at band camp. Two boys to string it all together. Mix and allow mayhem to ensue.
Geeks by Paul Schroder
M, Humor, Romance, Underage
Summary: Welcome to the weird world of my imagination and the story of a precocious, adolescent boy named Michael
Comment: I fell inlove with this story the moment I read it. Because this fic is not about the gorgeous, closeted jock or the pretty and openly gay emokid. No, this is a fic about geeks. Pure, unaltered geeks who snorts when they laugh, are somewhat un-attractive and are typically brainy. Not very sexy, but sweet all the same. The plot might appear blurry some times, and it suffers from a case of everyone-is-gay, but still, read it. If not for the plot, then at least for the uniqueness of the characters!
Gel by Cheyenne ¤
R, Slash, Romance, Drama, Play
Summary: Christian and Bobby are two sixteen year old Hawaiian boys who befriend each other in this sweet coming-of-age slash love story about defying the status quo and learning to embrace yourself.
Comment: Written as a play/movie, and with quite the visuals! I don't know about you, but I could watch it clearly, could almost hear the background sounds and everything!
I'm Here by Shades Of Twilight
R, Slash, Romance, Humor
Summary: Just a story of boy/boy goodness. Oh, and there may be hippies, a psychotic granny, and a gender bending beauty queen
Comment: I wish I'll age just like that granny, with a twist to the dark side, of course ;)
I Hate You by artisticbiguy
NC-17, M/M
Summary: Sometimes love is right under your nose...
Comment: Make sure you read the companion piece, I Hate You (Justin's Side) which is, as the title says, the same story but from Justin POV. They're both awesome-ness!
Outside the Box by neon rainbow
PG-13, Angst, Humor
Summary: Dame is emo. Gabe is the definition of gay. Bailey is perpetually drunk. Julian is a bastard. Amelia is somehow still sane. Patrick is special. Aubrey is pure fanservice. High school will never be the same.
Comment: Being somewhat of an emo-groupie, I found this fic delicious. Some of you might disagree, as it some times goes a bit vauge plot wise and there might be a bit to much emphasis on how this and that character looks as well as what he/she is wearing aaaand then there's that borderline everyone-is-gay!issue (not everyone is, mind you, but there's almost too many for my taste) but I still found it a pleasure to read! Give it a try, please... for me...
Thoughts Without Words by Saint Anger
R, Romance, Humor, Psychward
Summary: When Nate, a mischievous, troublesome mental patient, meets Robbie, the introverted new admit, it throws life in the ward entirely off balance. Not that there was much mental balance to begin with.
What Words Can't Say by Rae1
PG-13, Slashy, General, WIP
Summary: Meet Parley. He refuses to speak. Watch out for his sister, she may set you on fire. And you may not want to stand real close: he tends to draw the wrong kind of attention, and you don't want to be associated.
Comment: Very intresting piece, give it a try! It is, however, on hiatus, just as all the other pieces by this author. Hopefully, it will be continued eventually...
