Heroes Clash of the Titans [location: livejournal]
author: ayalecia
rating: FRT
pairing: Elle/Sylar

rating: FRM
pairing: Elle/Sylar

pairing: Elle/Sylar
summary: She laughs and praises you, “See how good you are?” and you pull the bra open. Elle and Sylar do more than zap things when they’re all alone…Spoilers for 3x09
why: Hey, I know I was expecting sex at the end of that scene! Also, this does a great job of getting into Sylar's head and seeing how part of him wants to be good. What? It can't be all about the porn all the time! Electrified, Times Seven [location: livejournal]

author: dragynflies
rating: FRAO
pairing: Elle/Sylar
summary: Sex, mostly.
why: Must like the summary says, it's sex, mostly. However, given that it's Elle and Sylar, it's messed up and painful, yet still perfect for them.Indian Burn [location: livejournal]

author: perdiccas
rating: FRAO
pairing: Elle/Sylar
summary: Gabriel and Elle have sex in the Canfield House.
why: Hot 'n dirty, just like you know it had to have been.
Labyrinth Welcome to Hell [location: livejournal]
author: scatteredlogic
rating: FRT
character: Hoggle, Jareth, Sarah
summary: "Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n."
why: I like my Labyrinth fic dark sometimes, and this fits the bill without going into too much detail. It's a nice balance. Incursion [location: livejournal]
author: aliasheist
rating: FRT
pairing: Jareth, Sarah
summary: There was a reason magic didn’t belong in the world Above.

summary: Diverging from the series at Crusade, Martha finds herself alone as the world falls to an unknown conqueror. Into her life come Chloe and Lois. Together the three women struggle to survive as Lex Luthor positions himself to take control of the one place where civilization hasn’t crumbled.
why: It isn't pretty, it isn't happy, it's honest and painful, and it breaks your heart. Martha loses everything and she makes some morally grey choices.
Star TrekAccidents [location: personal livejournal]
author: falseeeyelashes
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/McCoy
summary: the problem with sex and love and every transgression in between is the simple lack of a step-by-step recipe to follow
why: It's a great fic about how just because you fall into bed together, it doesn't always fall into place. But, sometimes it eventually does.Alternatives [location: livejournal]
author: seren-ccd
source: AOS
rating: FRC
pairing: Chapel, Chapel/Roger Korby
summary: The very first recipe Christine attempts all on her own is the one her grandmother passed down for hushpuppies.
why: I have a shameless bullet-proof baking/cooking kink. Sue me.Bedside Manner [location: livejournal]
author: damalur
source: AOS
rating: FRM
pairing: McCoy/Spock
summary: Bones has no idea how the hell he keeps ending up in bed with Spock.
why: They... never really stop bickering, and that just seems so very themBiological Imperatives to Explore While Stranded [location: livejournal]
author: a-cook1
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: McCoy/Spock
summary: need, pon farr.
why: We're ignoring the fact that somehow everyone has an idea about Pon Farr. Really, we're ignoring that. Why? Because it's McCoy and Spock stranded together on a beautiful planet and their interaction before the need hits is very comfortable in their bickering. That's the part that makes this a story to recommend.Cracked [location: livejournal]
author: eighteenhours
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Kirk/McCoy
summary: ‘Right now, there is no captain and there is no doctor - there are no ranks, no titles to hide behind and no protocol, because he's trapped in Bones' gaze and he can't go anywhere. He can't run, he can't blag his way out of this situation and he sure as hell can't pull some kind of stunt like he used to when he was just a Cadet and Bones was just his friend. He can't make this conversation go away by avoiding it like he's done so many times before, and he sighs, blue eyes sliding shut for a moment and he feels a weight settling over him.’
why: Just... ouch.Determinism [location: livejournal]
author: seren-ccd
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/McCoy
summary: The prompt called for 'Established McCoy/Chapel. Bones meets Roger Korby, Chapel's former fiancee, and, of course, hates him.'
why: Shall we count the kinks of mine this covers? You've got first time, assertive male, strong female, semi-public sexual acts, bickering, sexy talking. Just, yummy. Double Blind [location: livejournal]
author: medie
source: AOS
rating: FRT
character: Chapel, Uhura
summary: It all starts with a sneeze.
why: Stop what you're doing and go read this. Seriously. It's got Chapel and Uhura up in there, not only being large and in charge, but holding it all together while the shit hits the fan! And not only that, everyone around them recognizes that they're a godsend. Just, go read it!Examination [location: livejournal]
author: somewhatcliche
source: AOS
rating: FRC
character: Kirk, McCoy
summary: Just a one-shot, a quick, PG-rated look into some banter between Kirk and McCoy as patient and doctor.
why: It's a moment where they stop and realize how serious this shit really is, and how it's not just all fun and games.Fathers [location: livejournal]
author: jazzonia
source: AOS
rating: FRT
character: George Kirk, Sarek, McCoy
summary: Prompt: I don't know, I'd just like to see some Reboot dads being The Best Dad In The World to their respective offspring. Please?
why: While my dad didn't rock, my husband rocks as a dad, so it's nice to see that as opposed to all the crappy fathers that get written.The First Year [location: personal archive]
author: T’Lea and Selek
source: TOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Amanda/Sarek
summary: Sarek researches the Terran concept of an anniversary, then formulates a plan of action for celebrating his first wedding anniversary with Amanda.
why: Not enough people realize just how fucking hot this pairing can be. Let's hear it for wild and kinky married sex!FML and the follow up, Searching for Rain [location: livejournal]
author: cards-slash
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: McCoy/Spock
summary: Spock/Bones; academy era hookup prompted at my 69 fic exchange meme / noticeably a sequel to FML, deals directly with the events of the movie.
why: It's not pretty or easy, and nothing is really resolved, but it's done so very well.For Your Viewing Pleasure [location: livejournal]
author: noelia-g
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/McCoy, Chapel/Kirk, Chapel/Scotty, Chapel/Gaila, Chapel/Uhura/Spock
summary: Prompt: McCoy has a lover (either Nurse Chapel or Chekov, author's choice) and he likes to watch them being sexually used by other members of the crew, going down on Kirk, being bent over McCoy's desk by Scotty, etc. But he always stops it before it gets too demeaning, possibly does the really cruel things himself.
why: It's kinky Chapel/McCoy, what's not to love?Friendly Interference [location: livejournal]
author: iulia-linnea
source: AOS
rating: FRC
character: Chapel, McCoy, Spock
summary: Christine is never too tired to promote team cohesion.
why: Part of me just loves when people work with other people's personalities to get shit done. Chapel does this wonderfully in this fic. Friends [location: livejournal]
author: callieach
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Kirk/McCoy
summary: Jim decides they're going to be friends, but the decision to take it further seems mutual.
why: Pretty much because Kirk and McCoy are hot together, and this is very well written. Kirk just kinda pushes/bullies/begs McCoy into everything, and this fic is no exception. Heart Has Reason [location: livejournal]
author: the_arc5
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Amanda/Sarek
summary: There is little to be gained by observing her, aesthetically, intellectually, or socially. He learns this quickly, much of it out of her actual presence, and resolves to focus on a more profitable subject. Then, he meets her.
why: For some reason, I find the ideas on how Amanda and Sarek got together extremely fascinating.Human Courtship Practices in Five Easy Steps [location: dreamwidth]
author: madelf
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: McCoy/Spock
summary: Prompt: Everything Spock (thinks he) knows about human courting rituals he learned from romantic comedies (e.g., When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, etc.) and pornos.
why: Come on, you know it's either going to be heart wrenching or far too funny if it's courtship based on romantic comedies!In Check [location: dreamwidth]
author: anonynonymous
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/McCoy
summary: re·strain
tr.v. re·strained, re·strain·ing, re·strains
1. a. To hold back or keep in check; control: couldn't restrain the tears.
b. To hold (a person) back; prevent: restrained them from going.
2. To deprive of freedom or liberty.
3. To limit or restrict.
why: It's hot and kinky, but you don't have the cliché of them ending up together after this one time. It seems realistic in that not every one-off goes beyond that. Joyful Sign [location: livejournal]
author: slash4femme
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Scotty/Uhura
summary: Uhura thinks she is too old to have a crush.
why: OMG! It's cute, they're cute, and it's just too cute!A Learning Experience [location: livejournal]
author: lafemmechatte
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: girl!Kirk/McCoy
summary: Jamie is nosy, Bones has skills, and there's a happy ending. Whoo!
why: I'll admit, I mostly love this for McCoy's oral skills. Just sayin'!The Lesson [location: livejournal]
author: izzyfics
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/girl!McCoy
summary: Prompt: I want suddenly-transformed girl!McCoy being given a 'how-to' lesson by Christine Chapel. A hands-on one.
why: I love this pairing, and McCoy's characterization hasn't been changed to fit a feminized version, which people do too often in gender swap fics. This stays true to the characters while being hotter than a hot thing. The Morning After [location: livejournal]
author: ilikethequiet
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Gaila/McCoy
summary: Gaila wakes up after a night out to find she's not alone.
why: It's an unexpected pairing, but this is done very well and I love that neither one of them freaks out.New Girl [location: livejournal]
author: djinn-fic
source: AOS
rating: FRM
pairing: Chapel/McCoy, bits of Spock/Uhura
summary: McCoy tries to figure out his new nurse.
why: I fangirl this writer so much and I'm so happy she's taken to writing reboot fic. I love this version of Chapel she's written, and love that she has McCoy both respecting her and working for her attention, though I do get a chuckle out of the missteps.Not All At Once [location: personal archive]
author: djinn-fic
source: TOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Khan/McGivers
summary: This is a companion piece to "Weeds," Rabble Rouser's award-winning Marla McGivers story and you should really read that first. This is from Khan's perspective.
why: I just adore Khan's perspective on this. It's dark and lovely!Observation [location: livejournal]
author: inell
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Kirk/McCoy
summary: The sudden silence is immediately suspicious.
why: It's voyeurism. I also really love that Uhura couldn't resist watching once she realized it was McCoy. Also, I love Gaila's voice in this.Our Veins Run Parallel [location: livejournal]
author: ineffort
source: AOS
rating: FRC
characters: Kirk/Uhura
summary: this is the kicker - space doesn't mean what you think it means.
why: I ship these two in TOS and AOS, that's why I read this at first. Then I realized that this cuts to the core of what I think they can be. Her Uhura is strong and fierce, yet vulnerable. Her Kirk is deeper than those around him expect, and I love that.Save the Last Dance [location: livejournal]
author: rubynye
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Kirk/McCoy, Kirk/OFC, Kirk/Gaila, Kirk/Pike, Kirk/Chekov/Sulu, Kirk/Spock/Uhura, Kirk/OMC
summary: 5 + 1 times McCoy watched Kirk have sex, and 1 time he just heard about it.
why: I seem to have a thing for McCoy watching and being watched during sex. The Size of His Dream [location: livejournal]
author: taraljc
source: AOS
rating: FRC
character: McCoy
summary: Leonard McCoy was not what Christopher Pike expected.
why: As if I didn't like McCoy enough, this one really makes me feel for him. Given how he was at the beginning of the movie, I could definitely see this as how he joined up.Slow Motion [location: livejournal]
author: irisbleufic
source: TOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Kirk/Spock
summary: none provided
why: This is usually not my pairing of choice, but I'm so glad I read it. It's a kiss. It's a kiss drawn out in such aching detail that you can feel it. This was better than Westley and Buttercup's kiss.Surak and Socrates Want You to Masturbate [location: livejournal]
author: igrockspock
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Gaila, Spock/Uhura, mentions of past Gaila/Uhura sexiness
summary: Spock needs sex advice. Gaila is happy to provide it, and she doesn't see why Spock shouldn't get himself off while he listens. Good thing logic is on her side.
why: Not only is it fun sexiness with Gaila helping Spock out, it also gives depth and maturity to her character. She's written as very intelligent and willing to compromise how she wants to act to a certain degree in order to live and work around other cultures. That's a lot of characterization to pack into a story about Gaila telling Spock how to please Uhura while he jacks off, but it's done very well.Teamwork [location: livejournal]
author: mint-amaretto
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Gaila/McCoy
summary: Nothing like a cave-in to bring two people closer.
why: Again, I don't really see this pairing much, so I have to check it out when I do. This does a great job of showing that Gaila can want to have sex with someone without it being 'ooh, he's pretty' or whatever, and it has a McCoy who doesn't give into her flirty ways right away, but it doesn't come off as being because he's xenophobic.This Is Not A Love Song [location: livejournal]
author: robanybody
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/Kirk/McCoy
summary: none provided
why: Despite the fact that this is only a one-shot and the author claims to not be good with realationshippy fics, it still reads as a well-drawn out slow burn to a natural conclusion. I love the interaction between Chapel and all of the crew in this, not just with Kirk and McCoy.Tough Love [location: livejournal]
author: djinn-fic
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Number One/Pike
summary: After the events of the movie, trauma takes its toll.
why: I could talk about how stoked I am that Number One gets into the reboot fic action, or how I love how strong, loving, and understanding she's shown, but I won't. I'll simply say, Djinn wrote it. Then, you'll know that you should go read it. Unfix My Hair [location: livejournal]
author: fringedweller
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Chapel/McCoy
summary: Christine needs a hand when her hair comes loose.
why: This hit my hair hot-button. Her icon might have also hit my Karl Urban hot-button, but that's beside the point.While Singing [location: dreamwidth]
author: cjs-own
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: girl!Kirk/Spock
summary: She still wonders if she could make him blush hard, make him blush so much his entire body is flushed green.
why: While I'm not sure on the characterization of always a girl!Kirk, if it was off, it wasn't enough to drive me away. The reason I had to read this, even though it's not my pairing of choice, is because it's sex in a bathtub. It's a kink of mine.You Wanna Kiss the Girl [location: livejournal]
author: agirlnamedskip
source: AOS
rating: FRM
pairing: Bones/Uhura and unrequited Bones/OFC, Bones/Gaila, Bones/Winona, Bones/Chapel
summary: Bones always wants the girl and there's always a reason he doesn't get her. Except for just one and her name is Nyota.
why: While some of them make me cringe on poor McCoy's behalf, McCoy/Uhura is quickly becoming one of my favorite pairing.Precious Fall [location: livejournal]
author: slash4femme
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Scotty/Uhura
summary: :"Tomorrow will be better.” His voice is soft and rough and she almost doesn’t hear him
why: There's a very nice depth to the story, along with the idea of Scotty and Uhura together being hot, of course.A Sexy Think Tank [location: livejournal]
author: atomicskull
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Gaila/Kirk
summary: In which sex is had, dinosaur band-aids are dispensed, Uhura's bunny slippers are used as projectiles and Bones is plotted against.
why: Because they very much are a sexy think tank, and I would love to read about them going after McCoy.
XenaBurnt Candles &Thunderstorms [location: livejournal]
author: aresbitch01
rating: FRC
character: Ares, Gabrielle, Xena
summary: Rejected by Xena, Ares takes it out on Gabrielle.
why: It's a great little example of the interplay between Gabrille and Ares.What Dreams Are These? [location: livejournal]
author: aresbitch01
rating: FRM
pairing: Ares/Gabrielle, Gabrielle/Xena
summary: It’s said that the God of War can take many forms, and does so in order to visit the wives of his generals while they are away in battle.
why: It's hot, and surreal, and angsty. It's pretty much perfect.Vicarious [location: xena online community]
author: aresbitch01
aresbitch01
rating: FRM
pairing: Ares/Gabrielle, Ares/Xena, Gabrielle/Xena
summary: Ares has questions. Gabrielle may have answers. Takes place after Seeds of Faith.
why: It's a nice little example of the interplay between Gabrille and Ares.Something New [location: livejournal]
author: aresbitch01
rating: FRAO
character: Ares/Gabrielle
summary: Ares experiences something of a paradigm shift. AU of OAHAF.
why: There's just something about Ares and Gabrille having sex next to the bed that Xena is sleeping in. I'm weird that way.

pairing: McCoy/Spock
summary: need, pon farr.
why: We're ignoring the fact that somehow everyone has an idea about Pon Farr. Really, we're ignoring that. Why? Because it's McCoy and Spock stranded together on a beautiful planet and their interaction before the need hits is very comfortable in their bickering. That's the part that makes this a story to recommend.Cracked [location: livejournal]

rating: FRT
pairing: Kirk/McCoy
summary: ‘Right now, there is no captain and there is no doctor - there are no ranks, no titles to hide behind and no protocol, because he's trapped in Bones' gaze and he can't go anywhere. He can't run, he can't blag his way out of this situation and he sure as hell can't pull some kind of stunt like he used to when he was just a Cadet and Bones was just his friend. He can't make this conversation go away by avoiding it like he's done so many times before, and he sighs, blue eyes sliding shut for a moment and he feels a weight settling over him.’

why: Stop what you're doing and go read this. Seriously. It's got Chapel and Uhura up in there, not only being large and in charge, but holding it all together while the shit hits the fan!

pairing: Chapel/McCoy, Chapel/Kirk, Chapel/Scotty, Chapel/Gaila, Chapel/Uhura/Spock
summary: Prompt: McCoy has a lover (either Nurse Chapel or Chekov, author's choice) and he likes to watch them being sexually used by other members of the crew, going down on Kirk, being bent over McCoy's desk by Scotty, etc. But he always stops it before it gets too demeaning, possibly does the really cruel things himself.

rating: FRAO
pairing: Kirk/McCoy
summary: Jim decides they're going to be friends, but the decision to take it further seems mutual.
why: Pretty much because Kirk and McCoy are hot together, and this is very well written. Kirk just kinda pushes/bullies/begs McCoy into everything, and this fic is no exception. Heart Has Reason [location: livejournal]

summary: There is little to be gained by observing her, aesthetically, intellectually, or socially. He learns this quickly, much of it out of her actual presence, and resolves to focus on a more profitable subject. Then, he meets her.

summary: Prompt: Everything Spock (thinks he) knows about human courting rituals he learned from romantic comedies (e.g., When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, etc.) and pornos.
why: Come on, you know it's either going to be heart wrenching or far too funny if it's courtship based on romantic comedies!In Check [location: dreamwidth]

rating: FRAO
pairing: Chapel/girl!McCoy
summary: Prompt: I want suddenly-transformed girl!McCoy being given a 'how-to' lesson by Christine Chapel. A hands-on one.
why: I love this pairing, and McCoy's characterization hasn't been changed to fit a feminized version, which people do too often in gender swap fics. This stays true to the characters while being hotter than a hot thing. The Morning After [location: livejournal]

summary: McCoy tries to figure out his new nurse.
why: I fangirl this writer so much and I'm so happy she's taken to writing reboot fic.

summary: this is the kicker - space doesn't mean what you think it means.
why: I ship these two in TOS and AOS, that's why I read this at first. Then I realized that this cuts to the core of what I think they can be. Her Uhura is strong and fierce, yet vulnerable. Her Kirk is deeper than those around him expect, and I love that.Save the Last Dance [location: livejournal]

pairing: Kirk/Spock
summary: none provided
why: This is usually not my pairing of choice, but I'm so glad I read it. It's a kiss. It's a kiss drawn out in such aching detail that you can feel it. This was better than Westley and Buttercup's kiss.Surak and Socrates Want You to Masturbate [location: livejournal]
author: igrockspock
source: AOS
rating: FRAO
pairing: Gaila, Spock/Uhura, mentions of past Gaila/Uhura sexiness
summary: Spock needs sex advice. Gaila is happy to provide it, and she doesn't see why Spock shouldn't get himself off while he listens. Good thing logic is on her side.
why: Not only is it fun sexiness with Gaila helping Spock out, it also gives depth and maturity to her character. She's written as very intelligent and willing to compromise how she wants to act to a certain degree in order to live and work around other cultures. That's a lot of characterization to pack into a story about Gaila telling Spock how to please Uhura while he jacks off, but it's done very well.Teamwork [location: livejournal]
author: mint-amaretto

rating: FRT
pairing: Gaila/McCoy
summary: Nothing like a cave-in to bring two people closer.
why: Again, I don't really see this pairing much, so I have to check it out when I do. This does a great job of showing that Gaila can want to have sex with someone without it being 'ooh, he's pretty' or whatever, and it has a McCoy who doesn't give into her flirty ways right away, but it doesn't come off as being because he's xenophobic.This Is Not A Love Song [location: livejournal]

summary: none provided
why: Despite the fact that this is only a one-shot and the author claims to not be good with realationshippy fics, it still reads as a well-drawn out slow burn to a natural conclusion. I love the interaction between Chapel and all of the crew in this, not just with Kirk and McCoy.Tough Love [location: livejournal]
author: djinn-fic
source: AOS
rating: FRT
pairing: Number One/Pike
summary: After the events of the movie, trauma takes its toll.
why: I could talk about how stoked I am that Number One gets into the reboot fic action, or how I love how strong, loving, and understanding she's shown, but I won't. I'll simply say, Djinn wrote it. Then, you'll know that you should go read it. Unfix My Hair [location: livejournal]

summary: She still wonders if she could make him blush hard, make him blush so much his entire body is flushed green.
why: While I'm not sure on the characterization of always a girl!Kirk, if it was off, it wasn't enough to drive me away. The reason I had to read this, even though it's not my pairing of choice, is because it's sex in a bathtub. It's a kink of mine.You Wanna Kiss the Girl [location: livejournal]
