Recs for the Month of November
Battlestar Galactica -
If You're the Answer, What's the Question? by hackthis. BSG, Kara/various. Excellent, excellent Kara fic - this one really rang true for me. The scenes with Leoben totally had me choking. (In the good way! Sort of! You'll see what I mean.)
Lost -
Adrenaline by elise_509. Lost, Jack/Juliet, NC-17. Okay. Jack and co. have only been on the island for less than three months. Only, it feels like three years. Go figure. I'm basically of the mind that if Sawyer's not going to get his act together already, the new pretty lady doctor is worthier of Jack than Kate these days. Also, I learned from this story that the pairing is called 'Jacket' in Lost fandom. I--I'll go with that.
Prison Break -
Untitled Prison Break Story by eleveninches. Michael/Alex, written for meeeee. Featuring tattoos and bathroom sex and - yeah, I couldn't stop laughing for a couple minutes because I know this was a total sacrifice for her, writing porn, much less *porn in a bathroom* for a show she probably hurts herself laughing over. Read it and I think you will find that obsessive!Mahone and the freaking tattoo are really all you need to sell a story. (If you want to get into the proper Mahone/Michael mood beforehand, ELEVATOR SCENE HI.)
Stargate: SG-1 -
you can buy her things now but she'll never be bought by minervacat. SG-1, Daniel/Vala, NC-17. This was just so cute, and made me smile all the way through. The author totally captures their dynamic spot-on, and I think this is probably my favorite story with this pairing.
Supernatural -
I Put a Spell on You (Because You're Mine) by estrella30. Sam/Dean. MPREG BAYBEEEEES. Wings! Maybe some tentacles. DOES IT GET ANY BETTER, FANDOM. I think not.
Desperately In Need Of A Hobby by trollprincess. *cackles* Sam starts to think something is seriously amiss when he realizes that Dean's on the laptop now more than he's ever been, and that's even when he counts the time Dean got hooked on Farscape and spent every waking moment downloading torrents like crazy. Really lovely story. I came, I read, I laughed hard and felt solidarity with them both.
Your Bridge In This Storm, by dontyouwaitup. SPN, Sam/Dean, post Crossroads Blues. This story was *amazing*. There's this section in the second part (link goes to part one) that I felt tears in my eyes, and everything about this just made me so happy and breathless and gleeful that minds in our parts work like this. There's this parallel with one of her characters to Sam and Dean, and it made me all wibbly. Her characterizations were wonderful, and it's her first story in the fandom. I'm all about encouraging her to stay and write for a REALLY LONG TIME in SPN.
Vid -
Man in Motion, vid by renenet. LKBV for the Matrix trilogy, and it got me pondering it again a couple months ago, so I went out and bought all three at Best Buy for 5.99 each the other day. This one is just freaking *fun*.
