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.

Author: JiM
Genre: PWP, Slash, First Time, Hurt/Comfort
Pairing: Skinner/Mulder
Rating: NC17
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
 
Notes: I think I'll use the author's own words, here, since they cover everything so perfectly:  Mulder and Skinner, the first time; a locked boxcar, it's cold and dark, there's some chocolate -- what more needs to be said?   This is a PWP - it has no redeeming virtues - it does not advance the plot, doesn't explain anybody's secrets nor plumb anyone's soul.  I'm rather proud of that, actually.  Well, it works for me.

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.

Notes: Gibbs grabs Tony and they start driving.  Tony's not sure what's going on, but he knows he needs to be there for Gibbs.  Set after Twilight as everyone at the office tries to deal with the consequences, and find a way to get Ari.   A short piece, but intense, and I liked it a lot.  Besides, it's got clothed frottage - one of my favorite kinks.

Pairing: Mal/Jayne
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Slight mention of Torture
Spoilers: Minor spoilers for Episode 9 - Out Of Gas

Notes: This fic is backstory - how Jayne ends up on Serenity, and the beginning of the relationship between Mal and Jayne.  It seems very much in character for both of them, with a great side plot of Wash and Zoe just becoming a couple, and Kaylee being her usual irrepressible self.  The whole thing just fits perfectly - if Mal and Jayne were canon, this could very easily be how it would have happened.  And it makes me smile.  There's just not enough Mal/Jayne fic out there.  :::stamps foot:::  Dammit.

Rating: NC17
Warnings: none
Spoilers: Through Season 1, Rising

Notes: This is a great AU.  It gives wonderfully detailed backstory for both Sheppard and McKay, with richly written original characters like both Rodney's and John's mothers.  You know where McKay gets his social skills once you've met his mother.  And why John has no one he wants to communicate with back on Earth, when you meet his.  And I love the way John and McKay get together, here.  Everything makes sense.  Well written.  Funny.  It's long, but I've read it three or four times at least.  Worth the effort.

Author: Nicole S.
Genre: Slash, Angst, First Time, Hurt/Comfort
Pairing: Beecher/ O'Reily
Rating: NC17
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Through Season 2, Episode 1, The Tip

Notes: The Palm of God's Hand takes a closer look at the somewhat intimate relationship that Beecher and O'Reily seemed to share during the first Season of the show.  Always touching each other, getting high, wrapped around each other, enjoying their time together.  Part II deals with the time directly before and during the riot at the end of Season One, and the way that impacted their relationship after the riot. 

Having spent close up and personal time with my betas, I kind of wish I could  have shared them with Nicole - she tends to switch tenses, and wander a bit on occasion, but it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of her fic.  You can feel the way Beecher and O'Reily enjoy themselves together, she captures their fun and exuberance, slipping in and out of intimacy easily with the aid of the drugs - and always in character.  It just feels right.

Notes: A straight-forward Cliche fic, and I love a good Aliens Made Me Do It fic, I think they're one of my favorites.  There's not much more to say about this one, except that it's hot as hell, but way too short!  I love shalott's fic.  She's a very talented writer.

Jack and Daniel are being forced to have sex, in order to save Teal'c's life.  They flip a coin to see who bottoms, and Jack loses.  Daniel takes over.

Pairing: Beecher/Keller, Beecher/OC, Keller/OC
Rating: NC17 (most of the time)
Warnings: WIP, Rough Sex, Some Bondage
Spoilers: Dori tosses the canon out the window around Season Two, Episode 3  Great Men

Notes: In this version, Keller never got arrested.  Beecher and Schillinger continue trying to kill each other, and screwing up each other's lives, but eventually, Beecher gets paroled.  He finds it difficult dealing with life on the outside.  He finds his own unique ways to deal with the pressures of the Real World.  I love this Alternate Universe.  I think this is my favorite interpretation of Toby outside of canon.  He's real, raw, and full of pain, and looking for some way to ease it.  It just seems to work for me.

It is a WIP.  I don't like to rec WIPs, but I just love the first chapters of this so much.  I can just read them over and over, and I have, even before I knew she was still writing it, (although at a rather slow pace.)  I don't care.  I'll take what I can get.

Genre: Slash, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, First Time
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC17
Warnings: alludes past torture
Spoilers: Set after Season 7, Episode 12 - Evolution Pt. 2

Notes: This is an incredible story.  Beautifully written, incredibly detailed and the characters are so well drawn.  Jack is the ex-BlackOps Colonel that I love to read about.  Professional, hard-edged, strong but capable of caring and love - she's written him just the way I like him.  The way he and Daniel communicate with just a touch, a look, a lift of the eyebrow, fingers on a racing pulse, and everything is clear to them.  But not just beautiful - damn is it hot, too!  

If you haven't read this, you really should.  And don't be scared off by the fact that she says it's the beginning of a longer fic.  It's perfectly complete as is.  And once you've read it, you'll be glad she has more in mind.  You want to see more of these two.  You miss them when they're gone.  Sign of a good fic, in my book. 

The excerpt  bellow gives us a glimpse of  yet another side of Komos, her humor, and her excellent ear, capturing everyone's voices just as clearly as she does Jack's and Daniel's.  In the scene before this one, Jack has been taking out his anger on the innocent gym equipment, since the men who tortured Daniel are dead, and beyond his reach.  Then Teal'c shows up and helps him get rid of his aggressions.

Rating: NC17

Spoilers: Through Season 2, Episode 2.05 - Condemned

Notes: When I saw Condemned, I was just thrilled with that little exchange between Ronon and John, when Ronon forced John into giving him an order: "Is that an order?"  "Does it need to be?"  "Yes!"  I was already a fan, I'd liked Ronon's character since Runner, his first episode.  But  John/Ronon became my OTP at that moment.  As a matter of fact, I think I heard fangirls  squeeing about that scene all over LJ that next week.  And I was in perfect agreement. 

Ronon, bound and wearing a collar, and only responding to an agressive, male voice ordering him to behave?  Oh, yes.  I loved that.  And almost immediately after the episode, Titti wrote this.  There were others written on the same subject, and if I haven't I may well rec some of them at some point, but this was the first, and so far?  Still my favorite.  Titti has a nice grip on the interplay between Dom and sub.  She pays attention, and uses it well.  And this fic?  It makes me smile, every time I read it.

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.

Notes: Between Good And Better has got probably my favorite phone sex scene of all time.  Especially when you consider that neither one knows what the other is doing until the very end.  The sequel has an actual plot and stuff, which, as you all know, gets in the way of the smut, but is actually kind of fun, and there is, of course, smut as well. I like them both, but I love Between Good And Better. It makes me sweat.

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 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.

Warnings: Dom/sub, Light Bondage

Notes:  During a  murder investigation involving BDSM, Tony reveals a bit more knowledge of "The Scene" than the rest of the crew expects.  One of the best parts of the story is the way Kate reacts to  Tony's revelations.  I like how casual Tony is about it all, because being up tight and secretive would have played right into Kate's uptight attitude. I'm always more interested in the personal stories than I am in the casefiles, but this has a bit of both - which is pretty cool. There's an interesting Original Character, which I actually would have liked to see more of. And of course it's a first time fic - my favorite. Written for the Kink and Cliche Challenge, and Rebecca's cliche prompt?  A stressful case rattles the detectives and/or clues them in.  And her kink prompt?  Handcuffs.  She managed to work both in one story.  Go her.
