Stuart/Vince-14 recs
1. Chains by Cesare--Vince phones Stuart when he has an encounter with an aggressive shag that has a hard time taking no for an answer.
"Are you saying he laid a hand on you? Holy shit, Vince! I'll be over in ten minutes. Get dressed again if you're not already. We'll find the fucker and kick his bloody head in. Why didn't you call emergency and have him hauled off? Maybe we still should call them in, he was kind of big. Still, two to one. Fuck, do you remember where I put that mallet handle I used to keep around?"
2. Escape Velocity by Cesare--Stuart and Vince in the car on their way towards adventure. Stuart finally admits his feelings to Vince, in his typical roundabout way.
"I'm insulted," Stuart said lightly. "I thought you'd at least take the day off. You know. Wear black. Mope around. Come to your senses and race over by midmorning."
3. Abilene by Rhipodon Society--The R.S. version of the backstory behind why Stuart has that gun at the end of QaF2. Delicious and satisfying h/c.
Fifteen minutes later and he was fretting over an extra half hour, and that wasn't sad. It was sensible. They were in a strange place and Vince was never late and Stuart had good reason to be concerned.
4. Disco Series by Tia:
D.I.S.C.O.--A fun series that starts out at Stuart's last night in Manchester before going away to college, and twist and turns through fun and semi-AU situations that lead the boys back to Manchester after their trip to America.
Lisa started laughing. "Oh for God's sake Stuart," she burst out, waving a hand at him. "Look at you? Look at you're body language? You're absolutely *furious*!"
5. Let You Go by Paddy--Future fic. This literally has tears streaming down my face every single time I read it. Hazel dies. It's very sad, but also very sweet. Vince drinking sherry in her honor, and stays strong for his family. It makes me want to call my mom and beg her to never, ever leave me.
It was Stuart who made me see. I think Hazel put him up to it, by now she must have been sick of my wittering on. I don’t blame her. But still. I had to keep hoping.
I tried to stop Stuart from saying the words by talking on and on at him, not letting him speak. He let me prattle on until I had run out of steam. Then he took my hand, looked at me, and told me straight. Because he had to.
"Vince. She’s dying."
6. I Like It Like That by Mallory Klohn--Mallory Klohn has the distinction of writing the FUNNIEST fanfic in the whole fandom. This story puts Vince in the most ridiculous shagging debacles known to man, poor guy. Her Stuart through Vince’s eyes is also so incredibly sexy that is makes me blush every time he lowers his eyelashes. Gah. I’ll never look at Vick’s VapoRub the same way again. At its core, it’s about two fucked up people that manage to make being fucked up together work.
"You did," Stuart crowed. "You copped off with another nutter, you sad bastard." Now that he'd found his voice again, there was no shutting him up. "What was it this time? Did he have the Mark of Satan on his arse? Did he drink from the toilet? Did he ask you to spank him with back-issues of Hello magazine?"
7. Mere Anarchy by Speranza--This story is written from beginning to end a la Henry Pinter and Memento, and the characterization is spot on. Stuart manipulating the police during his interrogation is so hysterical, as is Vince claiming Stuart is a “pacifist.” Great sex, great dialogue, great look into Stuart’s mind, all in all. It’s about Stuart sticking up for Vince in his now patented, reckless way.
Right. Plan C. Whinging. "Oh, all right--have a go at me, then," Stuart moaned. "Everyone have a go at Stuart. It's the bloody national pastime. In fact, there's a queue; I can fit you in at half past twelve on Thursday--"
8. Sometimes You Just Know by Alexis--A great teenage story about Stuart and Vince told from Hazel's perspective.
I know how Vince feels about Stuart. I've spent enough time around both of them to know. I've come across Vince's journals, by accident mind you, and the depth of his crush is unending.
9. stuart in the land of the daleks by Jessica--Vince and Stuart have a fight, and Stuart knows exactly where to find Vince.
Stuart knows exactly where to find him. Vince has never been able to hide, not from his mum, not from Stuart. He managed to lose Alexander at Babylon one night for all of thirty minutes before a search team was organised and Vince's blowjob was interrupted.
10. All Of Them Are True by Jane St. Clair
"You're insane, Vince. You're lucky I love you or I'd be forced to let them lock you up. And you're not allowed any more science fiction, ever."
11. Good Boy by Margo--an AU off the pilot episode. What if, by some twist of fate, Nathan had ended up in Vince's bed? Still traces of Vince/Stuart, but a great Nathan voice here.
Nathan lowered his chin, and blushed deeper. He looked up at Vince's face, prepared for a repeat of the derision and dismissal he'd received from Stuart after shooting his load. Instead the amusement in Vince's eyes was softened with understanding, and Nathan gathered his courage and mumbled, "Yeah. But I want to. I do. Really."
12. Gunslingers by Maggie the Cat--Stuart and Vince practicing shooting Stuart's newly acquired gun.
"You've shot up every bottle we have, Stuart. There's nothing else to kill!" Vince's voice came floating back to him, buoyed on the waves of heat that shimmered in the air.
13. Never Been Kissed by Lisa--A teenage fic showing Vince's slow sexual realization and his first kiss with Stuart.
"I just don't," Vince said. "I mean, you… Well, you've done all sorts, haven't you? I've done nothing. How do you know for sure if you've never done anything? I've never even had a real kiss. What if I kiss some bloke and I don't even like it?"
14. Nowhere to Run by Em--An amazing post-ep. Shows what happens directly after Vince runs away from Stuart in episode four.
Vince increased his pace. Anger and bitterness dogged his steps as he drew closer to his flat. It was inconceivable that Stuart hadn’t known how his little tryst would affect him. He felt . . . violated. He might not have much of Stuart, but that room embodied most of what he did have. And Stuart felt nothing. It meant nothing to him. In the end, the only thing that mattered to Stuart Alan Jones was sex.
