Rec: The Dataverse series by lunabee34
May. 6th, 2021 07:00 pmTitle: The Dataverse series
Author: lunabee34
Canon: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Peter Kavanagh/Bates
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 4,430
Summary: Kavanagh’s not exactly sure how it starts. Well, okay, the moment things kick off for real—that he can pinpoint. But all the steps leading up to where he is now? Not so much. They just don’t graph in a linear fashion, or even fit that weird Ancient constellation diagram thing that Grodin was working on before he died. And Kavanagh’s tried to crunch the numbers.
Recommendation: Rare pairing, YAS. Rare pairing with douchebag antagonists, YASSSS. So damn good because you find yourself routing for them even if it can't work out.

Rec: If It Ain't Broke by rosiedoesfic
May. 5th, 2021 07:00 pmTitle: If It Ain't Broke
Author: rosiedoesfic
Canon: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Markham/Stackhouse
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 2,204
Summary: Someone's pulling pigtails.
Recommendation: If you've been following my blog you know that I have a weakness for rare, minor character pairings. They are my jam as is the pigtail pulling version of flirting apparently. ;)
Recommendation #2,415
Title: Not Your Average Employment
Author: enduringmadness
Canon: Ocean's 8
Pairing: Daphne Kluger/Rose Weil
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 2,427
Summary: Rose fights her attraction to Daphne while under her employment and struggles not to blow her cover.
Recommendation: Honestly, I can't think of any reason why someone wouldn't be a little overcome to have Daphne/Anne prancing around in next to nothing. I mean really.
Recommendation #2,343
Title: Wedding Is Destiny, and Hanging Likewise
Author: sqbr
Podficcer: gracicah
Canon: Pride and Prejudice
Pairing: Mary Bennet/Anne de Bourgh
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 58,187
Summary: In which Mary Bennet becomes a companion to Anne de Bourgh and neither of them gets quite what they were bargaining for.
Recommendation: Oh, I almost don't have the words to describe how much I loved this story. It was *chef's kiss* p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n. I thought that the characterizations were all so spot on to the novel, even were the character had been expanded it felt so organic and just . . . right. Mary is so interesting in this in that she has not been soften from her novel persona to be more appealing, instead sqbr does a wonderful job of making her "herself" whilst also giving us a deeper understanding of her that allows us to like her more. Anne who was less featured in the novel is more of a new creation but her character still feels right as an extension of her mother and her circumstances as well as a rejection of same. She is a disaster lesbian and I love her. I'm not sure if the author intended this or not but I also read Mary as neurodivergent. And if the story itself wasn't wonderful enough, gracicah has put forward as truly stellar podfic performance of this story that I enjoyed greatly. I can not recommend this all highly enough.
Recommendation #2,322
Title: Moving On, Forward (Come in Lost Soul)
Author: pushingcrazies
Canon: Angel | Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Jonathan Levinson/Dennis Pearson; side of Winifred 'Fred' Burkle/Charles Gunn/Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 203,089
Summary: Jonathan and Andrew are on the run to Mexico when a chance encounter in Los Angeles sets them on a new path - one with consequences neither could have foreseen.
Recommendation: Uh, this was so good! I love long plotty stories about minor and background characters that both flesh them out and let them change thing by their inclusion in the main plot but also don't make them something other then what they were. Jonathan and Andrew are not suddenly super powered, they are themselves thrust into new circumstances and given new opportunities. I also loved that they don't magically know all the things that are going on with the regular Angel and Buffy cast. I loved the building of the relationship between Jonathan and Dennis it was so good. *sigh* I can't say enough good things about this one.

Rec: Light in the Darkness by Rogue1987
Oct. 26th, 2020 07:00 pmTitle: Light in the Darkness
Author: Rogue1987
Canon: The Pacific
Pairing: R.V. Burgin/Pvt. Hamm; side of Eugene Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 12,486
Summary: 'Hammbone' had definitely learned a thing or two during bootcamp. He just wished that shutting his big mouth and averting his eyes at the right times had been one of those things, but that wasn't to be. Or an AU story where Hamm lives and Peck dies, like it should have been, and a story about how the rest of the company sees Sledge and Snafu's relationship blossom on Okinawa, with the usual bumps in the road.
Recommendation: This is just so lovely. I'd definitely pick Hamm over Peck any day, but I love all the little fleshed out details. Happy endings, yay!
Recommendation #2,224
Title: Spearmint Chewing Gum
Author: SillyLioness
Canon: The Pacific
Pairing: Hugh Corrigan/Lt. Stone
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 6,263
Summary: Lieutenant Stone is Corrigan's only constant in the insane mess that is the Pacific War.
Recommendation: I adore stories about background characters that flesh them out a little, and this is so careful and tender I love it all the more.
Recommendation #2,223
Title: Ghosts of a Future Loss
Author: maddieaddam
Canon: The Pacific
Pairing: Bill Leyden/Jay De L’Eau
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 2,665
Summary: Everyone's faces have changed so much when Bill Leyden reunites with them after Peleliu that he fears one face in particular might be lost to him forever.
Recommendation: When it comes to HBO War in general or The Pacific specifically, I seem completely incapable of saying no to a rare pairing. I just can't do it. And with this story I certainly don't want to. It is lovely.

Rec: Barrel by surveycorpsjean
Jun. 24th, 2020 07:00 pmTitle: Barrel
Author: surveycorpsjean
Canon: My Hero Academia
Pairing: Toshinori Yagi/Shouta Aizawa
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 5,217
Summary: Yagi hates this deflated body. Aizawa adores it.
Recommendation: I love how marvelously contrary Aizawa is to find the depowered Yagi more attractive than All Might, though I suppose it speaks to a need for sincerity.
Recommendation #2,100
