November Special Recs: Five Recs, various fandoms
Five more tonight, heavily influenced by my scifi/fantasy roots.
Special Rec: 6 of 30
Fandom: Fringe
Pairing: Astrid Farnsworth/Peter Bishop
Title: Matanawa
Author: rainer76
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/220844
Rating/Warning(s): Explicit, BDSM
Word Count: 2262 complete
Recced on LiveJournal By: lanalucy
Why This Must Be Read:
Astrid's a smart woman in her own right, and this fic showcases that in just a few words. Plus, it mentions porn in Latin, Japanese ropework, and lets Astrid and Peter let off some steam in a unique way. I love the wordy foreplay.

Special Rec: 8 of 30
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Pairing: Samantha Carter/Jack O'Neill
Title: Grace
Author: jenniferjf

Rating: G (not rated on AO3), mild references to infertility
Word Count: 2318 complete
Recced on LiveJournal By: lanalucy
Why This Must Be Read:
Takes the touchy topics of infertility and unexpected pregnancy and brings them together in a Stargate way that's perfect for the aging (but not old!) Sam and Jack.
Special Rec: 9 of 30
Fandom: Veronica Mars
Pairing: Veronica Mars/Eli "Weevil" Navarro
Title: Sleep and Other Goals
Author: jaqofspades
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/336463
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 2837
Recced on LiveJournal By: lanalucy
Why This Must Be Read:
Truthfully? Because jaqofspades wrote it, and she's got a terrific Veronica voice. If that's not a good enough reason, it's a totally fun (and funny) friends with unexpected benefits tale, with hot, flirty wordplay and a man completely confident in his ability to take care of business.
Special Rec: 10 of 30
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Mummy Series
Pairing: Buffy Summers/Rick O'Connell
Title: Love, After
Author: jedibuttercup

Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Word Count: 2700 complete
Recced on LiveJournal By: lanalucy
Why This Must Be Read:
Jedi Buttercup has a way of fusing two universes together with complete plausibility. I loved this one because it gave Buffy and Rick a happy ending, with a twist of maturity.
