kat_lair: (BANDOM - rainy day kid)


Bandom

All In - Brendon/Jon/Ryan/Spencer. Whilst cooped up in the cabin, supposedly writing an album, the boys play a game to pass the time... So many kinks on this and they are all handled really well, with attention to the psychological aspect of things.

(drip, drip, drop) little april shower
- Patrick/Pete. This is wingfic, but it's also so much more. Pete is in a limbo, drifting between people with a ring no one wants. Or maybe he just hasn't offered it to the right person yet... Oh, and somewhere along there Patrick gets his wings. I loved the atmosphere of this, the not-quite-there magical realism coupled with Pete's own unique world view. 

Skeleton Paws
- Mikey/Frank/Alicia, AU. Okay so... petplay. Not a huge personal kink of mine so I rarely go looking for it, but this fic does an excellent job with it. Frank runs a petsitting business and Alicia hires him to look after her pets, one of which is slightly unusual. I loved Frank's reaction and the sex at the end is pretty damn hot as well.

The Only Difference Between Advocacy and Rabble-Rousing Is Press Coverage (and newsboy caps)
- Ryan/Spencer, high school AU. Working late on the school news paper with your bff... things can happen. Adorable.

When the Road Disappears
- Mikey/Pete. Mikey has a cock, Pete is a little freaked out but determined. This is funny and quite hot, though I have to say my favourite part is the interaction between Patrick and Mikey at the beginning.



Hawaii Five-0

А constant satellite оf your blazing sun - Danny/Steve. Ah, another appearance from jealous!Steve, this time due to a handsome FBI agent from Danny's past. I'm a big fan of 'Danny's cases from Jersey come back to haunt him' trope in this fandom and the author gives a believable case fic on top of the lovely get-together story.

Curving Like the Ocean Toward You
- Danny/Steve. Okay, so this is curtain!fic. But it's so very well done. Danny helps Steve redecorate his house so he can rent it out and move somewhere else, except, well... in the end it isn't really about the house. If it ever was. This is such a wonderful, happy-making story story, I couldn't stop smiling.

Down the Shore Everything's All Right
- Danny/Steve. Mmm, h/c. Danny getting injured leads to Steve making some unilateral decisions. Happy grin.

If It's Not with You
- Danny/Steve. Drunken hookups would be so much easier if there weren't feelings involved. Danny and Steve fail to talk about things which makes for some hugely entertaining reading.

When All of New York City Misses You
- Danny/Steve. Steve is called back to active duty. Danny... copes. With a lot of help. This is an absolutely gorgeous and painful exploration of a relationship that develops despite a prolonged separation. The sense of family is tangible and the whole thing just pulls you in until you're just grasping your heart and aching with emotion. Wonderful read.


kat_lair: (SHERLOCK - peaceful until provoked)

Four Weddings And A Funeral

I Thought That Love Would Last Forever (I Was Wrong) - Charles/Matthew. The character voices are absolute spot on and the fic makes its point gently and  without preaching. If you loved the movie, you'll love this fic.



Hot Fuzz

After the Explosion, the Days - Danny/Nicholas. "there was sort-of-knowing and there was knowing-knowing". Nicholas catches up. Sweet and adorable.

DIY For Beginners - Danny/Nicholas. Danny is worried that London, not to mention a charming maler reporter, will tempt Nicholas away from Sandford. Clearly he needs to do something about it. Danny buying sex toys is possibly cuter than it has any right to be.

It's just like that scene in Lethal Weapon, only not
- Danny/Nicholas. Danny is acting strangely and Nicholas needs to do some detecting. Which he does, in his usual effective and methodical manner. This fic made me grin a lot, especially the whole thing about using Riggs and Murtaugh to talk about things without really talking about them.

Long Shot
- Danny/Nicholas. Gloriously awkward and sweet and perfect.



Jeeves and Wooster


Interference Part 1
and Part 2 - Jeeves/Wooster. This fic is kind of shockingly filthy and also more than a little twisted. And yet, even more shockingly, it is still entirely in character. I read half of this from between my fingers but read it I did because... incredibly well done.

Morning Glory
- Jeeves/Wooster. Man, even a handjob makes me blush furiously when it's this fandom and pairing. Bertie is his usual clueless self for all that he is enjoying the benefits of Jeeves' caretaking.

 

Primeval

Friday, I'm In Love - Nick/Stephen (Helen/Nick). There is an appalling lack of good Nick/Stephen fic out there. This one is full of angst and some entirely delicious flirting toward the end.



Sherlock

A Study In Blue
- John/Sherlock. Mmm breathplay and John being all authoritative. Yes please.



The O.C.

Line of Best Fit
- Ryan/Seth. Combination of two of my favourite things: best friends becoming lovers and a university setting. Seth is not running away, he just decides to go to St. Andrews University. Because of the lovely weather there, or something. This is a great read with good original characters and author's love for the setting coming through loud and clear.

I hope you've enjoyed the rec spam this week. I still haven't gone through all my backlog so I might have to do some more binge reccing in the near future. Perhaps you'll endure it?
