368: author spotlight cha & anyothergirl415
We all have stories that are our cocoa, tomato soup or grilled cheese of reading - those stories we turn to over and over because they make us happy, warm us up inside and cushion a lousy day. For me when I'm down or just want to feel great my 'go to' authors are cha & anyothergirl415. The plots are always interesting, the sex hot and the emotional tone is rich and vivid. These two are also prolific and should be admired for the sheer quantity of their writing, but above and beyond that, they excel at world building, never fail to make their characters unique even in a ensemble cast and write stories that will make you read them more than once.
title. The List
author. cha & anyothergirl415
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. NC-17
words. 60000
summary. There's not much left for Sam to do. He can't figure out how to stop this deal from happening and he has no way to help his brother. That is, until he finds a list his brother has made of all the things he'd like to do before he dies if he had the time. Sam decides the least he can do is make sure all those things are crossed off the list before it's too late.
read this. The number of times I've read this is almost shameful. I love the idea of Sam fulfilling Dean's wishes and it's a guilty pleasure to imagine that in some form this happened. Like the authors say - I would have taken this for season 3.
title. A Thousand Touches
author. cha & anyothergirl415
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. NC-17
words. 35000
summary. Sam stopped talking when he was a kid. Dean just got used to it, after all, Sam's his kid-brother. Their relationship is based on notes, nods and touches. But there are thousands of touches in a lifetime - and just maybe that changes things.
read this. I love how sweet Sam is in this and how strong. Dean is protective and patient. This is a story I long to snuggle up with.
title. Unexpected Relations
author. cha & anyothergirl415
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. NC-17
words. 58000
summary. Jared Padalecki is an up and coming detective with a whole career extended before him, there's only one outcome he'd never prepared for and it comes in the form of seventeen year old Jensen Ackles.
read this. Hot and sexy with lots of sexual tension. I love both Jared and Jensen's characters in this. Jensen is young but far from immature. Jared is completely bowled over by Jensen and uber-protective. Scorching.
title. Purity
author. cha & anyothergirl415
characters. Jared/Jensen
rating. NC-17
words. 72250
summary. Purity is a well-respected company that provides Life Companions for those wealthy enough to purchase them. They come from Clean Homes that are free of disease and are trained to be assistants, friends or lovers - whatever their possessor desires. Jared doesn't want a Life Companion but it's family tradition. When his Life Companion arrives, chosen to fit his specific needs and wants, he's a bit shocked that rather than a woman, he has a Jensen. Fortunately, there's a thirty day trial period to see if they are a fit.
read this. I love the world building in this. A believable science fiction premise and delivered with a deft hand to the plot and believability.
reccer's note. These are just a few of my favorites and only a handful of the works by cha & anyothergirl415. Find more works by cha here & by anyothergirl415 here. I'd encourage you to peruse both master lists as each author is quite talented in her own right, not simply a part of a well-oiled team. Go forth and wallow.
