House MD: House/Wilson/Cuddy.
Episode 2×22 (aka Forever, aka the one with the crazy mom who seizes in the bathtub with her baby) left me with a total hankering for House/Cuddy or Wilson/Cuddy, or really, Cuddy anyone. This story is like the best of both worlds because I adore House/Wilson, too.
Knot
Firefly: Jayne/Simon.
Ana has written some of my favorite Firefly stories. This one is new to me, and totally charming as ever. Jayne and Simon are both wonderful, although I think this is a particularly good Simon in this. There are heists and build-up and snark, what more could you really ask for in a Firefly story. note: this is post Serenity.
An Arrangement of Parts
Smallville: Clark/Lex.
So, you know, I have a not so secret love for mpreg when it’s written well. Well as in fully recognizing the ridiculousness of the genre and delighting in taking a bizarre situation and making it funny and awesome all at the same time. There’s banter, and and it’s a post-rift future fic and Lex built a Superbot and just yes. You should read this.
Up the Yin Yang
Smallville: Clark/Lex.
Shallot pretty much rules at everything so when I heard that she’d written new Smallville I jumped at the opportunity for a good, long read. And this satisfies perfectly. Long, plotty, and well detailed, it ties in perfectly with the Batman Begins mythology and has a great Bruce Wayne.
Ulterior Motives
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay.
This is a really interesting story because Toft takes all these things (or maybe really only one thing) that I didn’t think could possibly work and convinces me of them absolutely. John’s into cross-dressing and Rodney’s pretty much just into John; but it’s so much more than that too.
Second Skin
Stargate Atlantis: John/Rodney, with a side order of John/Teyla and implied Rodney/Teyla.
This is such a fantastic story, detailed and complex. This Sheppard is really interesting, I love that Lenore goes into his Afghanistan experience and ties it in with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell so thoroughly. Also, Teyla especially is really excellent in this, strong and intuitive and incredibly loyal.
Parsus
WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
Sort of scenes from a courtship style vignettes. I. Hmmm. Okay, you know, this is lovely, but it actively bothers me that Cee doesn’t use quotation marks to delineate between spoken words and everything else. I guess it’s a style? But it pretty much makes everything she’s written completely unreadable for me. I’m reccing this story anyways because there’s barely any dialogue and it really is lovely, but uh, due warning and everything on that.
It’s Still Pizza
WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
Messy and complicated and lengthy. Jared is really good in this, and the whole story is just good. The author calls this porn with a little plot, and while the sex is scorching, there’s totally a plot in there with it.
6 lessons to live by (as told by jared padalecki)
WB rps: Jared/Sandy/Jensen.
Oh lord. There’s not a ton of stuff I’m actually embarassed to read but this is so shockingly hot and dirtywrong it’s just. I’m possibly a little broken.
Geography for Beginners
WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
I love this because it’s Texas and Jared is fantastic and he speaks Spanish and this one is all about the slow seduction and frustration. It’s fabulous.
It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time
WB rps: Jensen/Chris, Jensen/Jared.
This totally blew me away. Jensen is fabulous as is Chris and Jared. Also, I really feel like the locations are characters too because the whole story just oozes atmosphere. And it had me aching for everyone involved because it’s messy and heartbreaking, and gorgeous all the same.
The Old 97s Mix
WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
A short but fabulous glimpse of the boys, note: has mild spoilers for Devil’s Trap.
One am, Wednesday, Vancouver
WB rps: Chris/Jensen.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Christian is hypnotic and raw, and her Jensen voice is particularly good. Plus, there’s rimming, which uh, is totally hot when written this well.
Keep Trying
WB rps: Christian Kane/Jensen Ackles.
My girl Kassie writes like no other. Every story is just riddled with amazing lines that could pretty much only come from her. She world-builds like no other, too. This story is heavy with the south and so atmospheric it fucking kills me. It also has the benefit of being incredibly fucking hot, and brilliantly characterized, as always.
Gulf Coast Highway
Supernatural: Dean/girl.
This is het, which, you know, I pretty much wouldn’t even read, let along rec except it’s Dean and it’s this fascinating, perfect, heartbreaking backstory of him falling in love a little and getting heartbroken by failure and it’s just good.
Listening to the Animal Within
Supernatural: Sam/Dean.
In terms of bulletproof kinks, you know the ones that always, always push every damned button you’ve got, exhibitionist masturbation has to be one of my favorites. May is National Masturbation Month and Sevenfists killed me with the hot in this one.
Just Reach Out
Supernatural: Sam/Dean.
Guh. Funny, and hot, with just a little bit of kink. I love authors who keep in touch with the fact that Sam and Dean are such boys all the time, with the little digs and the name calling and everything.
Go The Other Way
WB rps: a little Jensen/Christian Kane, a lot Jensen/Jared.
Long and well detailed and incredibly well written. I really love this story.

Holy, holy hell. (Every possibly pun intended.) The priest costumes get a workout in the best possible way ever. This is scorchingly hot. omg.

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
This is such a perfect first time fic. And the boys are delightfully funny with a good blend of angst and humor.
Six Degrees and Morning Light
Comments Off
WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
This is one of those stories that I love. The kind where every word counts and every detail is so layered with echoes and more details that the story just feels three times as long as it is. Low key, and very sexy.

WB rps: Jensen/Jared/Tom.
The smutbox challenge has been kind to me. This is yummy, yummy boys being boys and trying to show each other up porn.

WB rps: Jensen/Jared.
You’ve probably all read this already but I’m just getting into the fandom so I’m all a-squee over it. Gorgeously written and wonderfully characterized. I love this Jensen. And I love how tentative they are around each other. This is a fantastic story.

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
Set after Dead Man’s Blood there’s a lot of nice brotherly one-upmanship and some smokin hot sex, all with Papa Winchester in the next room. Bringing a whole new level of kink to the whole Wincest thing.

Pre-series, Christmas, the boys have to stay with relatives while Papa Winchester goes off on a hunt.
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Comments Off
Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
This has to be the best take on body switching in the fandom. It’s funny and introspective, and joyfulgirl just has so many fantastic lines that if I quoted them I’d end up having to quote everything, but it’s for moments like these that I love reading fanfic:
because all Dean ever wanted was for them to be together. Not this necessarily. The ‘how’ never really mattered to him. Just that Sam was there.

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
Body-switching is one of my favorite fanfic clichés and this is totally the perfect take on it. Dean’s voice is fabulous and I really love this Sam. And anyone who can bring the humor along with the sex as well as estrella can is just too freaking cool for words.
A Little Superstitious Now

Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
Mmmmm car porn. Seriously. I don’t think I can possibly get enough of the many variations on the metallicar + dean + sam = sex theme.
Like a Hurricane
Comments Off
Supernatural: Dean/Sam.
This totally killed me. I was in tears by the end of the first part and just aching for the rest. Brutal, and honest, and gorgeous. Raina writes a fantastic Dean. And while I am not usually in love with the angst, I found myself actually wishing that the ending was a little more on the angst side.

Uhm, this is really hot. Really, really hot. There’s veyeurism and stupid guy jokes and everything is so very good.
