Slashy Nominations 40: Making Three Bites of a Cherry

[thefourthvine]

There's more to love-times-three than threesomes, even if a certain college boyfriend of mine would be astonished to hear it. So, in addition to the traditional three-bodies-in-a-bed story ('cause, hey, I'm all for tradition - well, this kind of tradition, that is), this set features lots of other ways three people can get tangled up together. Ah

Thank you so much!

I'd love if you explored this theme some more in another entry.

The threesome theme in general? I'll certainly be returning to it sooner or later; it seems to be one of those recurring sets. But I've pretty much exhausted my current stock of things-in-threes for the moment, so it might take a while. (Although it also might not; it sure didn't take me long to build back up from the two earlier threesome sets.)

Eeee, Rhoddlet! I kiss her luminous feet.

Penknife writes HP too, you know? (I think you do, but I can't be sure...) Make sure to check him/her out as well.

Also--I've recently been glancing into the Due South fandom, thanks to the discovery of a jewel known as Speranza. Have ye any black wool slashy recs?

Yup. In fact, I would even revise that to say that Penknife writes excellent HP; she was one of the authors that got me reading HP.

You mean, aside from everything Speranza's ever written? Yes, indeed. Resonant is kind of the flip side to Speranza, in my opinion; Speranza gets Fraser better than anyone I've read and Resonant does the same with Ray K. (I dream of a dS story co-authored by Speranza and Resonant.) So in media Res is where I'd go next. Once you're done with those two, there are a lot of ways you can go. Do you like your F/K with a soupcon of angst, or do you prefer the dessert F/K? Plots with your smut, or just pure smut? Giggles or tears? And do you want to do Vecchio/Fraser or Ray/Ray as well as F/K? Rare pairings? Name your poison, and I'll provide it

Oh my God, that XMM story is freaking spectacular. Thank you for that. Xavier/Magneto was my first pairing in that fandom, and I love them, but it's such a heartbreaking pairing that it's hard to read sometimes. *g* I'm also mighty fond of movie!Rogue. So this story does a lot for me...

[thefourthvine]

Magneto/Xavier produces such marvelous stories. I love that pairing. I mean, I've come to accept that in XMM St. John/Bobby or St. John/Bobby/Rogue can be really, really good, and I've read all manner of fascinating pairings from XMC, but I keep coming back to M/X, even though I'm usually more fond of pairings that have, you know, the slightest chance of ending happily.

I assume you've read C. Elisa's M/X stories? And Penknife's? 'Cause they're really remarkable, and apparently I'm going to keep talking about them until everyone on earth has read them. It's a compulsion or something.

[thefourthvine]

Oh, god, I love "Confidence Men." It is the ultimate slash story; I link people to that when I'm trying to get them to understand why I read explicit slash. I first saw it rec'd on the Fametracker Forums, and I've been rec'ing it compulsively ever since.

It always leaves me craving more Ocean's 11 FF, though, and you're right; there's just not enough FF in this fandom. And there should be so much more! It was the slashiest movie released that year, I think.

Since you rec'd In Dreams, I was wondering if you'd read penknife's absolutely wonderful Gravity (which also riffs brilliantly on the fact that Magneto is still inside Rogue's head)?

Here (too lazy for linkin'):
