Oz



Fandom: Oz
Title: Choirboy
Author: Mairead Triste
Genre: Slash, Angst, First Time
Pairing: Beecher/O'Reily
Rating: NC17
Warnings: NonCon
Spoilers: Through Season 1, Episode 6 - A Game of Checkers

Notes: Beecher and O'Reily share the POV here, and you get a good sense of the relationship between the two during that whole first season.  I was totally suprised by the turn in the end, not expecting it at all.  But it's actually in character for both of them, especially if you take into account O'Reily's Season Two "I'm not a fag" attitude.

Oz



Fandom: Oz
Title: Close Up
Author: Mandy's Bitch ([info]mandysbitch)
Genre:
Slash, Angst
Pairing/Characters: Shillinger/Keller, Keller/Barlog, implied Beecher/Keller
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Rape, Noncon, Dark
Spoilers: Through Season 4, Episode 11 -  Revenge Is Sweet

Notes: This is another of last year's Kink and Cliche fic, using the prompt: Exhibitionism.  Not a real stretch for Oz, as Mandy's Bitch points out.  But she doesn't use the most obvious choice of sex behind the plexiglass walls of a pod.  She takes it in a different direction, and the result is disturbing and hot all at once, much like Keller - I could so see him doing something like this.  It's cruel, and even slightly against Ronnie's will (thus the noncon warning.)   It also gives us a bit of Keller and Schillinger's background - also disturbing - and very in character for them, as well.  I like the fact that Keller does't take his abuse lying down (oops, sorry - unintentional pun there.)

X-Files


Fandom: X-Files 
Title: The Adversary
Author: Xanthe ([info]xanthelj)
Genre: Slash, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Drama, AU, Novel Length 
Pairing: Mulder/OMC, Mulder/Others, Mulder/Skinner
Rating: NC17
Warnings: NonCon, Rape, Torture - Physical and Psychological, BDSM, Bondage, Extreme Violence
Spoilers: Don't remember any.

Notes:  This is an extremely intense story. It was the first fic I'd read by Xanthe, and one of the earliest X-Files stories I'd ever read.  It pretty much defined Mulder Bashing for me. But as hard as it was to read, I couldn't stop.  I'd pretty much figured out the whole deal about Mulder's lover from grad school, so that wasn't a big deal to reveal, but hey.  What's just one more step on the way to Mulder's eventual capitulation.  And from the way he was treated, I couldn't see it going down any other way. 

Even so, I kept telling myself how smart Mulder was, and how he could manage to keep his sanity throughout this whole breaking down process; and the fact that he managed to continue to work his way into his Adversary's mind at the same time gave me hope...albeit a very small amount.  By the time it's over, you'll be blinking your eyes and shaking your head, too.  I know I was.  It's the case of the car accident that you just can't look away from as you drive past.  So you back up and park, get out of the car and go poking around.  You just can't help yourself.

About the AU.  Something in Mulder's past is changed, but it does not effect the present day of the fic.  Mulder still works for Skinner and his partner is still Scully.  The Cigarette Smoking Man is there turning the screws as usual, and the Rat Bastard is hanging out, being totally unpredictable - also as usual.   If you don't mind a bit of torture, you've got a solid stomach, and you like a lot of Mulder Torture - this is the fic for you.  And no, I don't know what it says about me, that I've read this one more than once...well, more than twice, okay?

Original Fiction



Original Fiction

Fandom:  Original Fiction
Series: The Administration Series 
Author: Manna  ([info]ms_manna)
Genre:  SciFi, Mostly Slash, Some Het, Angst, Action/Adventure, Hurt/Comfort, First Time
Pairing: Val Toreth/Keir Warrick
Rating: G through NC17
Warnings: BDSM, Non-Con, "Issues of Consent", Violence, Torture, mention of Child Abuse

Notes:  This is a large series, with 3 novels, 3 novelas and 27 short stories. If that seems a bit daunting, I don't blame you.  Do what I did and take the author's advice:  The first six chapters of the first  novel (Mind Fuck), make a great short story called Virtual.  It introduces you to the characters, gives you some time with them, and if you aren't into them enough to keep reading, you can stop there.  If you are, there's a link to Chapter Seven at the end of Virtual.  You don't have to miss a beat, just keep reading. 

The world Manna has created is dark and disturbing, but at the same time, fascinating.  The characters are intriguing, and a complex mix of good and bad.  You love Val Toreth, even though sometimes you just want to smack him  a good one upside the head, and you root for Keir, even while you know he's going to make the wrong move, fall in love with the wrong guy...  As crazy as it is, you want those two to be together.  The plots are complicated and fascinating, the short pieces great glimpses into their lives, and the lives of their friends and families.  I avoided this series for a long time, thinking it was too big a project to take on - but believe me, once you've started, you'll want to read more.

Oz


Fandom:  Oz
Title: Scent
Author: [info]ozsaur
Genre: Slash, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, First Time
Pairing: Tobias Beecher/Andy Schillinger
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Consent Issues/Non-Con
Spoilers: Season 3, Episode 5 - US Male

Notes:
This is one of my favorite pairings in Oz...as odd as it seems.  He was only on for a short time, but Andy made quite an impact on me.  There's very little fic with him in it, so I'm always eager to read them when I find them.  This one has just the right amount of disillusioned and bitter Beecher and hurt and angry, but eager to please young Andy.  This fic sends chills up my spine.

X-Files

Fandom:  X-Files
Title: Out of the Dark                
Author: Kassandra
Genre: Slash, Some Het, Case File, Novel-length, First Time, Action/Adventure, Angst
Pairing/Characters: Skinner/Mulder, Mulder/OC, Mulder/Others, Mulder/Scully Friendship
Rating: NC17
Warnings: BDSM, Dom/sub, Bondage, Violence, Fisting, Kink, Non-Con, Questionable Consent
Spoilers: None?

Notes:
Mulder is going over the deep end.  Trouble at work, trouble with his partner who seems to be slipping away from him more every day.  He needs a break - a way to escape the inside of his own head for a while.  When Frohike sets him up for the vacation of his life at a sexual Fantasy Island, he thinks he may have just found the way to make it work.  But instead he finds himself getting sucked further and further into a lifestyle he can't keep up with and still maintain his sanity.   When things take a turn into danger, he ends up relying on Skinner, of all people, to help him sort out the mess his life has become, and find a way to separate himself from the obsessions that attract him, and could lead to his death.

This is a novel length fic, and I got so absorbed into it, that I finished it, and immediately turned around and read it again.  The characters were believeable, and well written - especially the original characters, even the villians, and I'll be damned if there isn't one hell of a lot of very erotic sex in this fic, too.  But be aware, most of the sex has some elements of D/s, bondage or other BDSM practices, although most of it goes no further than tethers and blindfolds.  However there is enough that goes past that to warn you about it.  And there's a fair amount of questional consent issues, as well. 

So you know...this is the fic that got me going in the X-Files Fandom.  I'd watched the show off and on, nothing much, but the fic I'd read all featured Krycek, and although I liked him, I didn't really get the Mulder/Krycek vibe.  Well, I found the vibe that does work...Skinner/Mulder and throwing in some Dom/sub issues will cinch the deal for me pretty much every time.   And it's all Kassandra's fault.

Stargate SG-1



Fandom: 
Stargate SG-1
Title: An Echo of Freedom
Author: Quinn
Genre: Slash, Angst, AU, Hurt/Comfort
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Non-Con, Violence, Issues of Consent
Spoilers: None

Notes: This story takes place in an Alternate Universe where the military has a stronger presence both in life in general, and the Stargate in specific.  The military stuck around and estabilshed a base on Abydos, and when in a huge battle between the Goa'uld and the military, a good portion of the human population of the planet were destroyed or left homeless, Daniel opted to stay and help care for the surviors instead of return to Earth.  He was branded as a traitor, and is now the property of the man who turned him in - Colonel Jack O'Neill. 

Daniel struggles to keep his sanity and dignity in a world where his entire life is controled by the military, and his very survival is in the hands of those he hates and despises.  He's protected (in some ways) by O'Neill, but his status as a prisoner, leaves him open to abuse and mistreatment, accepted by all as his due for his "betrayal" of his own race.   Every night he dreams of his wife and freedom, only to wake to a world of despair from which he sees no chance of escape, except death.

I love this story.  It's bleak, and filled with horror, but Daniel's struggles to keep his dignity, and Jack's efforts to find a way to reach through to him, make this Universe real to me.  There really can be no truly happy ending, here, Daniel is always going to be a prisoner - no matter what happens.  But you hope all the way through that the two can at least find some balance that can keep them both alive and help them find some peace in their lives. 

For some reason, Quinn has taken her fiction off Area 52, but I found  this copy on The Angst Archive, thank goodness.  I saved a copy for myself.  I really don't want to lose this fic.  Quinn used to have more fic on Area 52.  If anyone knows of a website, or another archive where more of her fic is kept, please let me know!

Oz



Fandom:  Oz
Title: Jailbait
Author: [info]rustler
Genre: Slash, Angst
Pairing: Vern Schillinger/Chris Keller
Rating: NC17
Warnings: violence, non-con, sex with a minor
Spoilers: Pre-Oz, but explains some situations from Season Two

Notes: There's always talk about how Keller and Vern ended up together in Lardner Prison, back when Keller was just a boy of 17.  Vern has just been riding his way through prison, but he gets a wake-up call, and realizes he can control his own fate, if he doesn't let it slip through his hands.   Probably one of my favorite Oz fic of all time.

Stargate SG-1



Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Title: Forced Perspectives
Author: [info]tenaya
Genre: Slash, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, First Time
Pairing:  Daniel/OMC, Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Non-Con
Spoilers: Through Season 3, Episode 7: Point of View

Notes: Daniel is kidnapped by an Alternate Universe Jack O'Neill by way of the Quantum Mirror. You know, I really like this fic, but I often feel that at the end, Daniel's behavior is a little bit off.  But that's just me, and it obviously doesn't stop me from reading it all the time, so I'm probably being a bit nit-picky, here.  After all, Daniel's been through a hell of a lot in the last two days, how the hell would I know how he'd act?  Anyway, it's definitely worth reading...more than once.

Stargate SG-1



Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Title: The Appearance of Objects in Depth
Author: Komos  ([info]paian)
Genre: Slash, Established Relationship, Angst, First Time, Friendship, Torture, Non-Con
Pairing/Characters: Sam Carter, Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC17
Warnings: graphic retelling of Torture/Rape; voyeurism
Spoilers: Through Season Eight

Notes: Carter is kidnapped and shown in graphic detail exactly why she should not be loyal to General O'Neill or Stargate Command.  Excellent portrayal of Sam Carter.  She's a full, rounded character, with conflicting emotions, and an unwavering faith in her friends.  An intense fic, but well worth the read.  (For that matter, everything by [info]paian is.)

Oh, yeah, and the sex is freakin' hot! The following excerpt gives you a taste of the scene in which Jack and Daniel have the most intense session of clothed frottage (without moving!) that I think I've ever read - ever.
