5 Hot Reads from 2006

[lirm35m.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure this list has something for everyone from het quasi-sex to slashy, incestuous orgy. Yet, though the choices are diverse, it just proves that, even as the activity in the fandom wanes, hotness still comes in many forms in the BtVS/AtS 'verse.

1. Not My Father by Neichan & Not My Son by lilithbint
   Pairings: Angel/Conner
   Rating: NC-17
   Status: COMPLETE
   Warnings: incest, slash
   These stories, written by two different authors, were both in response to a Challenge posted by The Mistress to her SlashLoveAndAngst yahoo group. Both were written at the start of the year, but somehow, they’ve managed to stay with me ever since. If only all challenges reaped such fabulous results...
   
   
2. only_beginning RPG by chlare as Angel & ferretgirl as Wesley
   Pairings: Angel/Wesley
   Rating: NC-17
   Status: WIP (but it’s an RPG, so that’s a good thing)
   Warnings: slash, angst, angst, angst & more angst.
   This RPG is my personal crack! Angel & Wesley get together, Buffy dies, and after his little trip to the monestary, he and Wes go on an even more angst-filled ‘vacation’ in the woods. This one’s packed with hotness & angst, but it’s so great that you’ll be hooked. Good thing it’s still going strong with several posts per day from each character.
   
   
3. Wayward boys by btvslover82
   Pairings: Angel/Angelus/Liam
   Rating: NC-17
   Status: WIP (but, after a long pause, she just posted a new chap… yesterday, so the future looks promising)
   Warnings: slash, Human AU
   Um… a totally indulgent ‘Angel as triplets’ Human AU with lots of boy touching… need I say more?
   
   
4. This is How it Feels by learnedhand_dj
   Pairings: Willow/Xander
   Rating: NC-17
   Status: COMPLETE
   Warnings: none
   Post-Chosen, Willow and Xander really run away with the 'reach out and touch someone' concept...
   
   
5. The Reward by spankspike
   Pairings: A/Gunn; A/Wesley; A/Lindsey; A/Spike
   Rating: NC-17
   Status: COMPLETE
   Warnings: slash
   As a reward, Angel will be allowed to com-shuck with his soulmate without the threat of going all fangy. Trouble is, he’s pleading ignorance as to the knowledge of who that could be. The powers, being uncharacteristically generous and permissive, let him magically test-drive a few lucky candidates of his choice.
