*contes de fées préférés = favorite fairy tales
RecommendationsAll of the Animals by Jane St ClairI like Jane St Clair. And she writes X Men slash. And I would love to read it, except that the Marvel universe is large and complicated and significantly older than I am. So, I mainly stick to movieslash. Sad, really. Anyway, Logan and Scott (and Jean, sort of) are working out some issues. recommended 6.6.01 | permalink Inclination by Laura Jacquez ValentineThis is the story of a Vulcan guide and a Human Sentinel in the Trek universe. I don't know that I particularly recognize these characters as Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg. It's more a question of taking Blair's background as a human and giving it meaning in a Vulcan context. It's an intriguing, handsome answer she gives us. recommended 5.6.01 | permalink My Mother's House by Lemon DropThis is a little sweet and a little sad. The structure has a nice rhythm to it, as well as some beautiful imagery. Another gem from Lemon Drop. recommended 2.5.01 | permalink Junk Novels by Punk and SabineDanny is thoroughly entranced by a non-sensical dirty book. Casey's a little bit drunk, a little bit horny, and a lot bored. They take the airplane test. recommended 20.4.01 | permalink Lies, damn lies, and agriculture by torchThis was written for the Little Black Dress Challenge, wherein Krycek is posited as the Crossover King (although I would have thought that Methos fit in anywhere better *shrug*). In any case, this is the way not to insert Krycek into West Wing. Except, it kind of works. Now, if you want to read about inserting Krycek into an unlikely fandom in a way that makes, well, sense, try Amirin's Practice on for size. recommended 10.4.01 | permalink Objectives by Lady of ShallotThis Stargate story has a plot you've seen ten million times on Star Trek: we can only appease the aliens by having sex. And yet, and yet... LoS makes it fresh, funny, and appealing by making the characters themselves. via Anna recommended 5.4.01 | permalink Sweetcheeks IX: Masks by Debra Fran BakerMost of the Sweetcheeks series is funny and gay-ly fabulous, but this one is more serious, and has to do with image and desire in a fairly complicated way. And there is no neat 12th hour solution. We just have to wait for Sweetcheeks X. recommended 3.4.01 | permalink deren Gesichter sehen ihm aehnlich by BasingstokeThis is a dueSouth story which places Fraser and Kowalski in an X-Files context. It's simultaneously sad and hopeful, and it's quite pretty. recommended 28.3.01 | permalink Wesley Rogue Demon by The Mad Poetess and James WalkswithwindThese two make magic when they write stories together about any of the characters from Angel: The Series. I don't know why they don't grab me so when they write about Buffy characters, or write alone. But this story is a stunning example of their craft and their imagination. What if Wesley wasn't who he claimed to be? How would The Scooby Gang, L.A. Division, help him become whoever he is? recommended 26.3.01 | permalink A Garden of Wallflowers by LegionThis solemn little Jim/Blair really affected me because I understand exactly how Jim feels. recommended 26.3.01 | permalink And They Dance by James WalkswithwindThis pretty, touching little piece is a different sort of death story. And not just because it's Wesley/Angel, and Angel is already sort of dead. recommended 21.3.01 | permalink Domestic Piranhas 8.5: Lost in Translation by The Mad Poetess and James WalkswithwindThe series is Spike/Xander, but there's an Angel/Wesley/Gunn subplot. And any story which is tender and touching and sweet and where Spike serves as a relationship counselor deserves to be read. recommended 15.3.01 | permalink Signal to Noise by Betty PlotnickJim watches Blair be Blair-like and struggles to find words to let Blair know he doesn't have to try so hard. I'm not sure Betty convinces me that Sandburg's motivation is fear, but her picture of Jim's thought processes is lovely. recommended 14.3.01 | permalink Something Like by SheilaYet another Wesley/Gunn story wherein Gunn wants to mess up Wesley. But it's still good. recommended 12.3.01 | permalink Bough by SheilaUm. She re-wrote Untouched, the episode with Bethany the telekinetic runaway, from Bethany's POV. It's not slash, but it's extremely powerful recommended 12.3.01 | permalink |
what's this?I picked these fics because they're well-written as well as enjoyable. My recommendation style is esoteric. Sometimes, I'll tell you the premise. Sometimes, I'll tell you the feelings and sensations a story invoked. Sometimes, I'll just encourage you to click on the damn link already and read the bloody story. Most of these stories are slash, meaning stories about your favorite characters from stage and screen being queer (hence fairy tales). Many of these stories are explicit about sex or violence. If you don't want to read about men having sex with men and women having sex with women, you could try some more general fanfiction. meolder recs20012000linksArchives
