Random Recs
And my first post in my new recs journal! :-D These are all recs that I've posted over the past few months in my personal journal, but new recs are soon to follow. Stay tuned!
Battlestar Galactica
Shadowplay by inlovewithnight
Kara/Leoben PG-13 pre-S3, but mild spoilers through Occupation/Precipise
As inlovewithnight put it, Warning for, you know, psychological twistiness. I don't know if it is any MORE twisted than Starbuck and Leoben's relationship already was on the show, but this ... this is just simply amazing! It takes all of the bits and pieces of their relationship and gives such a beautiful look into Leoben's mind. If you are even slightly interested in this plot line, I can't recomend this story highly enough!
Repudiation by makesmewannadie
Kara/Leoben NC-17
I'll admit that I have a large fondness for Kara/Leoben (and yes, if this disturbs you, feel free to unfriend me immediatly - I won't be offended!) but this story just works so well. I read it and just wish that the script writers had gone down this road in canon, instead of what they actually did. It is a sequal to Belief, so you might want to read that first (it is pretty short, only about 700 words or so) but Repdiation is just painful and wonderful and exactly perfect. Seriously, depsite the warnings which usually would make me never even think of reading, it a story that needed to be told.
Gilmore Girls
Boston Marriage by jae_w
Rory/Paris PG S4
This is such a delightfully charming story of Paris attempting to woo Rory in her own Parisy way. It highlights all of the reasons why they work for me as a pair and just never fails to leave a smile on my face! Seriously, even if you've never watched the show, I don't see how you could fail to be charmed by this story!
Imprimatur by mosca
Paris/Rory PG S6ish (sort of AU from S5)
Imagine, if you will, Paris attempting to explain to a perspective housemate her living situation. Stop again, and imagine Paris attempting to explain that same living situation if she were living with Rory. That my friends is the absolute wonder of this story! mosca absolutly NAILS Paris Geller. I mean, this is her and all of her wonderful Parisy quirks.
Heroes
X Will Mark the Place (Like the Parting of the World) by hackthis
Nathan/Peter R AU
What if Nathan and Peter were twins? hackthis takes this brilliant concept and COMPLETELY rocks my life with these wonderful snipits of that possible life. The Petrellicest feels so natural and not at all forced, which is one of my major praises for ANYONE brave enough to tackle an incest 'ship. Getting me to the place where I can accept that brothers would be willing to sleep with each other is a tough thing to do and this fic just does that so effortlessly with wonderful characterization. Even if you've not seen the show yet (Which if you haven't? GO WATCH IT NOW!!) I think that you can read this fic because there are not any spoilers beyond what you've probably encountered by simply being in fandom itself and this fic will make you want to watch the actual show!
In the Dark by the-dala
Multiple Parings Issac POV PG-13 Spoilers through Fallout Future speculation fic
And Issac's ability to paint the future? Something I would NEVER want! My one criticism of this piece is that Issac seems to have come to an acceptance of this burden that I don't know that I will ever see him as having, but it is set in the future, so I am totally willing to buy it for the wonder that is the-dala's writing! My GOD - this is wonderful! Short and evocative and everything that I hope that this show becomes.
SG-1
Revillie by astolat
Jack/Daniel PG-13 (My only experience with the canon is the movie, so I can't say about the spoilers)
In the hands of a lesser writer, this would be such a hackneyed piece! But Shalott takes the sci-fi cliche of temporary telepathy and comes up with something that is SO MUCH MORE than that. It is just so beautiful to witness Jack and Daniel coming to terms with their feelings for each other. I think that it might have hit every emotional kink that I possess, so read it! It will leave you too feeling like a large pile of gooey goodness!
Due South
Kisses by Sam 80853
Fraser/Kowalski PG
This is just a "few thoughts on how Fraser and Kowalski's first kiss might happen". Serious AWWW alert. What I think I love the most about this story is that she takes basically every first kiss senario that has become almost cliche by this point, and makes them seem fresh and new. That, and I am such a sucker for the optmisim of beginning a relationship, so read!
Numb3rs
Hair by Dira Sudis
David/Colby PG-13
So freaking adorable! I think that my favorite thing about this story (and the Numb3rs fandom in general, really) is that David is not just the token black man. He is written as his own character with worth and value and seeing him interact with Colby is just too cute to be missed. (That, and I have an odd love of Hair, but that is my own personal problem)
Supernatural
The Internet is for Porn by Chao
Sam/Dean PG-13
This was seriously one of the funniest things I've ever run across. Sam and Dean e-mailing each other as foreplay, and general hilarity. While I will warn for Wincest, it can be chalked up to joking (even if that is clearly not what the author intended) because nothing *actually* happens, so I'd say even if you don't usually go fot it, try this because it is HILARIOUS.
