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.

LOL. thanks so much for the rec, honey. I actually have 9 of 12 chapters written now, as of yesterday. how exciting is that! I was psyched. haha.

YAY!!! Somehow, I'd forgotten to leave praise on your lj, but I'd been planning to show this story some love for a while and I was a bit hesitant, but yesterday's post cemented it's spot on this list :-)

Great another RPG! We actually had two other rec posts for it this time which is progress :> And I had to laugh at the cleverness of that last premise!

[lirm35m.livejournal.com]

The last one does have a great premise, but what makes it even more fun is the way she makes each encounter completely apropos for each pairing :-) She knows her boys and it shows!

*double snuggles*
and I found new stuff to read!

[lirm35m.livejournal.com]

*whispers* Can I tell you a secret?

I'm obviously a sick nutter {for digging the incest fic}, but I think, this set of Angel/Conner fics is the one that I've re-read the most this year...
In fact, I know that they were the first fics to go into my memories folder for reccing to this community (and that was almost a whole year ago!)
*end whisper*

That being said, I don't praise you enough cuz I absoloutely adore most of your work (like last year's *Sire*, which I think I recced here & the series that you just updated that includes *testing a theory* and *exposure*). So, I guess I am a fan and as my New Years resolution is to bestow more comment-type lj lovin (and not just year-in-review recaps), I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you in your lj :-)

*snogs you*
you got a story request? I will write you something if you want.

[theferretgirl.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you for the shout-out. :-)

[lirm35m.livejournal.com]

chlare already knows what a big fan-dork I am about this searies! I'm just glad to see that it's still going strong :-) Keep up the fabulous work (and the toys!)

[spankspike.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for including me!

*blushes*

I had no idea you'd even read it. I hadn't seen you around much lately, hope you've been well.

That fic was actually a weird idea that came to me and I wrote the entire thing in one sitting - which was like 6 hours. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[lirm35m.livejournal.com]

Hey dollface,

I always read you :-) As above, I'll admit that I haven't been so great at commenting in the last few months because I've been sooo busy, but this fic totally made me happy. Thanx!

[spankspike.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries about the commenting thing sweetie. I just hadn't even seen your name around lately. And it's always good to know that folks are still around, whether they're reading the silly junk I put up or not.

*hugs*
