Small Fandom Fanfic & Fanart Recommendations

I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but I've been having to go through my comms and readjust the settings for all the spam comments we've been receiving. I have just changed it so that only members may comment here. I hope that it will not be necessary to leave the settings this way forever, but we'll have to see. Right now I have not moderated membership, but that may be the next step. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Title: What The Cat Knew
Author: tryfanstone
Fandom The Dark is Rising - Susan Cooper
Character/Pairing: Will/Bran
Rating/Category: NC17, slash, first time
Length: 14,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

This is a very plotty fic. It's so well written that it could very easily be the next book in the series, um, written for adults obviously :) Bran and Will, now adults, have lost touch. Bran is a famous and somewhat disturbed pop-singer, and Will is a history teacher, and of course, still an Old One. And despite renouncing his memories, Bran is still of the High Magic.

I'm not going to go into more details, because the story is way too awesome for me to clumsily spoiler it for you.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did :D


BTW: I never really shipped Will/Bran. But now I do. Don't hover here: go and read. Give it two hundred words. Trust me. You'll be very very glad you did.

Length: ~1700
Why I'm reccing this fic: Hotter than a hot thing, and a great look into the brothers’ relationship.
A brief excerpt: “You were a bad influence,” Stefan says, his hips unable to not move against his brother. Damon’s lips move to Stefan’s, not quite touching, and his tongue traces over Stefan’s fangs.

“Still am, it seems.”

Weaker Now

Title: Henry's Journey

Author: Hyarrowen

Fandom Henry V (Shakespeare via Branagh)

Character/Pairing: Henry/Montjoy

Rating/Category: Slash

Length: 21,500+ words

Why I'm reccing this fic: Where does one start with an exceptional piece of work like this? Hyarrowen has picked up on the odd intimacy of the scenes between King Henry and the French herald in the film version of Henry V and has constructed an alternate universe in which a deposed king is sent into exile with only one true - and at first rather reluctant - ally. As they wander around the world together, finding ways to earn their own living, falling into adventures side by side, their mutual dependency deepens into friendship, into love, and eventually into a full sexual relationship. This is accomplished without compromising either of their characters as established on the screen, and against a background of painstaking and absolutely fascinating historical accuracy. Here is Henry dealing with his own emotions and gaining a wider perspective on the whole concept of kingship, seeing the world beyond the shores of England and learning important lessons from it. When the time comes at last to consider returning home he is better equipped to be a king than he ever was before, and in addition he has the support and comfort of the one true love of his life.

If you like romance on a grand scale, which will sweep you up and carry you along and leave you breathless at the end, this is definitely the story for you. Prepare to be enchanted!


A brief excerpt: Henry needed a friend, and it was just possible that Montjoy did, too. He took a chance. "What say you we travel together, for a while at least?"

Rating/Category: NC17
Length: ~1560 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it’s frelling H-O-T!

“That's because he's a fucking dog!”

“It seems a lot better than being a llama,” the woman says.

Rating/Category: NC17/Slash
Length: ~3,900 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Needy, desperate Ben. *fans self*
A brief excerpt: The first day he works with John Cooper, Ben goes home and jerks off for an hour - keeping himself right on the edge for as long as he can before he has to give in to the need, the throb of his dick and come all over himself.

Title: Blindfold
Author: nekare
Fandom The Boondock Saints
Character/Pairing: Connor/Murphy
Rating/Category: PG13/Slash/Incest
Length: ~3,700 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Builds a great picture of Connor and Murphy from childhood to the present, how their current relationship formed, or rather just always was.
A brief excerpt: Connor has always been the one that believes the most. Murphy followed him into it, because that’s what he’s always done, but Connor, Connor could’ve been a priest, had all the markings for it. Now, he’s wavering, and Murphy right along with him. There’s something about following their mission, their calling, with their father that is breaking them down, something about the old man’s steely silence and unbreakable mentality that is crushing their moods and their faith and, if you want to be melodramatic, their souls. Murphy wonders how much more of it they can take.

Rating/Category: PG/Slash (sort of)/Incest (kind of)
Length: ~440 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was one of the first Harry/Thomas fic I found, and it packs a nice bit of intensity in a few words.
A brief excerpt: Thomas expels a breath, reaching out. Touching Harry's emotions, a mess of blue, sets off red bursts in his outline, and Thomas vaguely hears a low moan of pleasure from him.

Author: jedibuttercup
Fandom The Dresden Files (Book’verse)
Character/Pairing: Harry, Buffy
Rating/Category: PG13/Gen/BtVS Crossover
Length: ~4,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Very fun read and great melding of the two fandoms.
A brief excerpt: Regardless, she was still a member of an allied organization. And as it was part of my duties to be the ambassador of the White Council to any preternatural groups within my range of responsibility, I couldn't just ignore her. Besides, it was possible I was just being paranoid, wasn't it?

Title: Original Sin

Character/Pairing: John/Derek
Rating/Category: NC17/Slash/Incest
Length: ~4,200 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Telling you that this fic is hotter than a very hot thing does not do it justice. *fans self*
A brief excerpt: Hot, damp breath skated across his ear, stirring short hair, but still no words were offered. No explanation, no questions, no words of encouragement. Just Derek's hand jacking him slow and steady and John's secret late night fantasies coming to life.

Length: ~1,400 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is a great look at the future and how John adapts to it.
A brief excerpt: The future is not what he expected. It smells like metal and smoke, a strong taste at the back of his mouth that is impossible to wash away with the tepid water or the gruel that they get served for meals.
