Some of these are R/NC-17 by the way. If it is labeled as such, that means there's sex! So read at your own discretion.

Batman Beyond
Beyond the Veil
by Jamjar
Bruce/Terry, NC-17

I do jump around fandoms a lot, don't I? XD Bruce was positively ancient in Batman Beyond. Quite frankly, I was surprised he was still alive. @_@ And as we all know, the inevitable fate of all mortal humans is death. Bruce dies but it doesn't seem to be permanent when Terry wakes up to find Batman in his bedroom.

Battlestar Galactica
Sacrifice
by Josephine Darcy
Starbuck/Apollo

XD I do get around with my fandoms don't I. It's been quite a while since I've read anything in this particular fandom but that's okay. I'm glad I did though. Lovely lovely fic. The battlestar and the ships following it are facing dire problems. Fuel and food have started to run low with no solution in sight. That is until they manage to bump into a civilization just as technologically advanced as theirs once was and willing to trade but only under certain conditions--they won't deal with anyone who is not sealed. So therefore, Starbuck volunteers to pose as Apollo's partner. If only things were that simple. The author fully admits to it being cliche but it's more than that!

Sweet Angel
by Anna
Starbuck/Apollo, NC-17

This fic is a bit old but I haven't read many new fics worth reccing this month. After reading a BSG fic I haven't read before, I remembered another fic and had to dig into my hd and rec this too. The relationship has already been established. An act of vandalism on the ship leaves Apollo feeling cold when he has the foreboding feeling that his past has come back to haunt him.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series
Of Old Mystics
by Wolfling & Magpie
NC-17, Giles/Ethan

If you like snarkiness and fun, this is the thing to read. Of course it's not all fun and games. It has quite a bit of angst thrown in with the levity. If you didn't like Ethan before, you surely will now!! Wuvvah the characterization I do.

Dark Cavalier
by Saber ShadowKitten
NC-17, Spike/Xander

This is an AU fic that follows the group up until a certain point until Xander is killed. He is chosen as Death's Apprentice and is unexpectedly, one of the best. Portrays Xander in a more serious light which I like. I always thought there was a darker personality behind that goofy exterior.

Manly Girly-Giggles
by Kiara
NC-17?, Spike/Xander

Gender-bender fic. One of those Anya curses Xander and turns him into a woman so he can better understand them type of fic. Fortunately for the population at large, this is a good fic! Xander doesn't suddenly become girly or weak or anything of the sort. He's still Xander...albeit in a smaller and curvier package. Prepare for weirdsville though. Then again, that's normal for the Hellmouth. ¬_¬

Small Fries
by James Walkswithwind and the Mad Poetess
misc NC-17 pairings

Cute doesn't even begin to describe this fic. The Scoobies are sent a mysterious relic from an anonymous person...which happens to have the power to change an adult into a child but keep the mental capacity...for a time at least. Prepare for some magick and mayhem!

Seeing Beyond Imperfections
by Melissa
Spike/Xander

Another kickass fic. It is highly suggested that you also take a look at her other fics. Takes place 15 years after Chosen. In which Xander has become the Seer for the Slayers in America and Spike is not quite as gone as one might think.

CSI: Las Vegas
Post-its
by cinderlily
Nick/Greg

A cute little Nick/Greg piece that everyone must read if they're a fan of the pairing at all. XD Greg likes post-its.

Due South
Family Portrat
by Journey
Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17

This is an AU. It doesn't take place in another time period or anything, but some facts have been changed. Vecchio still goes undercover and RayK still takes over for him. However, Stella is dead and RayK is left with 2 children to take care of. RayK shows Fraser the meaning of family.

With Six You Get Eggroll
by Speranza
Fraser/Kowalski

Takes place after the series. Vecchio and Stella go visit Fraser and RayK in their out of the way Canadian home and find something very unexpected--6 children that they have taken under their wing and become parents to.

It's Like This Old Inuvit Story I Know
by rageprufrock/lupercali
RayK/Fraser

An amusing piece in which Ray sees the ghost of Fraser's father and wonders if he's gone insane.

Finding Nemo
An Interlude On Mount Wannahockaloogie
by Amanuensis
Nemo/Gill, chanslash

I want to clarify that I did not actively search for this. A friend gave me a link and I couldn't stop reading it so er yeah. Don't start giving me weird looks. Despite the weird and bizarre and probably horribly wrong pairing that is going to warp your view of the movie, it's a well-written fic. No, there is no fish sex. -_-;; I don't think I would have read it if it did. I can only take so much yanno. A piece on the relationship between Nemo and Gill.

Good Omens
Leaving
by Snowballjane
implied Crowley/Aziraphale

This is a somewhat angsty little one-shot that centers around Crowley and the concept of leaving.

Not So Good as Fame (But Better Still)
by Kathleen Anne
mild NC-17

You'll prolly never see a fic of this pairing anywhere. XD;; A short fic about the Them several years after the end of the book.

Shattered Glass
by Snowballjane
mild Crowley/Aziraphale

Just how far does the friendship of Crowley and Aziraphale go? The angel gets injured badly and Crowley does something dramatic.

A Good Example
by Daegger
Crowley/Aziraphale

*snickers* A short piece in which Aziraphale takes Crowley's advice, though not entirely in the way he imagined.

Highlander
Sacred Trust
by Lanning Cook
Duncan/Methos, NC-17

I love Methos, I really do. He's a snarky bastard that you just can't help but love. The characterizations, the interaction between Joe and the 5 centuries old Immortal are lovely. It's a pretty long fic but I couldn't stop reading till the end. XD This story doesn't follow the canon and at times contradicts it, but it's an AU so that doesn't much matter. A bogeyman of the Watchers and an Immortal thought long since dead starts going hunting again. And this time, it'll take all of them to stop the crazed Immortal.

Holes
Half the Story is Not Half the Battle
by Julian Lee
Stanley/Hector

I blame this entirely on my friend because she was the one who recc'ed this fic. I have never read the book nor seen the movie though I will have it shoved down my throat whether or not I like it in the near future. All I know is that the fic strikes you in just the right places to scream 'they're meant for each other' even if you weren't a believer in the beginning. This is a get together fic and if you haven't seen the parallels between Kissing Kate and Sam the Onion Man and Stanley and Hector, I don't know what will convince you this pairing is destined.

The Last Unicorn
Breaking the Waves
by Thyme In Her Eyes
gen

Yes, it's 'The Last Unicorn' fanfic. I was bored so I went randomly clicking sections on ff.net. I never actually read any fanfic in this fandom. but I'm glad I did so. The good ones, when written well, are really pretty. ^_^ This is one such fic. Amalthea watches the waves at Haggard's castle.

Retrospect
by The Lady Arianrod
gen

Another pretty fic in this fandom. Done in 1st POV. The Unicorn remembers Prince Lír.

Popslash
No Comment
by Gippy
Chris/Lance

*snickers* This goes to show you just how easily rumors can get out of hand. It all starts when Chris seems to disappear off the maps and people start to think he's actually in rehab.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Hurricane Jack
by Shrift
Jack/Will, NC-17

He isn't the last person Jack Sparrow expect as to see walking through the door of The Three Tunns, not that Jack ever expects to see anyone, really. He prefers not to, as he'd rather be pleasantly -- or not so pleasantly, as the case may be -- surprised by the ebb and flow of people of his acquaintance.

This does not mean that Jack is unprepared. Except when he is, and when he is, it's usually in some fabulously spectacular fashion that results in a short-lived marooning or being not-quite-hanged. (Should he ever have the miserable misfortune to hang in chains on Deadman's Cay, Jack firmly believes that he will hang there more fabulously than any pirate who has been hanged there before, simply because everything Jack does is fabulous.)


Just by that alone I think you should read it. Endlessly amusing to me.

The Sentinel
Star of the Magi
by Francesca
gen

Everything in Sentinel points to the fact that Jim and Blair were meant to be partners. I'm not talking about anything particularly NC-17y but just brother-in-arms, 'I'll always be there to watch your back just like you'll watch mine' type of friendship. A short piece that captures how each aspect of Jim and Blair's life before they met each other prepared them for their eventual meeting and perfect partnership.

Stargate: SG-1
The Clone Series
by danVers
Jack/Daniel, eventual NC-17

Imagine waking up in the body of your younger self with the thoughts and memories of your current self and then eventually finding out that you're not the original but a clone. So not only are you not the original, you're also not allowed to live the life you want so you painfully choose to start a new life despite not really wanting to. This is the long aftermath of the episode in which Jack got cloned.

Smallville
Of Epistles and Epiphanies
by Nifra
Clark/Lex

I don't really read Smallville fics mostly because I was never really into it much to begin with. A friend recommended this to me so I gave it a shot. It's a somewhat amusing piece, Clark spends most of the time yelling at the Lex despite him not actually being there. This is a short story that occurs several years into the future while Clark is in college. He receives an e-mail out of the blue from a drunk Lex, who he hasn't spoken to in 3 years.

Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace
Knight Moves
by McKay
NC-17, Maul/Obi-Wan

This links to the main page since the author has a linking policy. The fic is in the Other Fandoms: NC-17 section on the fiction page. Yes, I know. The pairing is a bit out there but withhold your disbelief for a moment okay? =_=;; The writing's solid and it seems to make sense to me but that's not saying much. One must really read it for themselves. A year after the death of Qui-Gon Jinn, the Council gets an unexpected visitor--one Obi-Wan would gladly kill with a smile on his face.

Riding the Wheel of If
by MrsHamill + various others
NC-17, Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, various

I generally don't read this fandom but when you're bored, you would read anything. The concept is slightly cliche but the plot is fairly interesting. This is like, several AUs tossed into one fic. Obi-Wan, distraught over losing his master, makes a new lightsaber. However, when he finishes it and tests it out, he is shoved into an alternate reality. The Force propels him through several universes, in which he must attempt to 'fix' it. At the end of the path, will the depressed Knight find what he is looking for?

Troy
Sparta
by Osiris Brackhaus
Achilles/Hector

AU! And a pretty big 'what if?' type story. We all know that when Paris took Helen, war broke out between Sparta and Troy. This time Menalaus is the instigator of war when he takes Paris against his will because he thought the prince was pretty and he liked pretty things. Enter vengeful brother and king. They manage to win the service of Achilles and sway even Odysseus' and his troops over to Troy. The conclusion? Only the gods will know.

Xena/Hercules
Ares' Defender
by Sorka
Ares/Joxer

In which it shows that Joxer doesn't have to be as 'useless' as some may think.
"By decree of the King of the Gods of Olympus, any god challenged by a mortal, between the winter and spring solstice of this year, must bring forth a willing mortal champion to defend them. If the challenger should win, then the defeated god's powers are forfeit to the victor. Only if the challenger retracts the challenge will the combat not occur."
Devotion Series
by Caroline Crane
Ares/Joxer, Cupid/Strife, Xena/Gabrielle

A series of fics that starts with Joxer remember his first love. He makes a prayer to Aphrodite and starts the chain of events that leads him to the person he least expected.

The Childhood Series
by Corona
young Cupid+Strife friendship fic, AU

It's cute and fluffy. The spelling and grammar on some parts made me wince a bit but it's negliglble. You might have to read a few sentences over to understand it but the plot is enjoyable enough that you can ignore it. I think it was stated somewhere that Cupid was older than Strife by a few hundred years or something. In this one, Strife and Cupid are around the same age. It talks about how they grew up together. This part is completely gen. There's a sequel to this that gradually moves into NC-17. If you like Discord, you might not like this. There's just a bit of bastardization. Though that might be just my opinion.

Pieces of a Whole
by Erin
Cupid/Strife, NC-17

This fic really, really rocks. I don't have enough words to describe this. It's really supposed to be the first part of a series but the author never wrote it but it's still good. The emotions conveyed are very vivid and you can almost feel the pain of the characters as they are feeling it. This is a Strife-centric story. The moment Strife met Cupid, it took his breath away and caused a curious pain. For years he's ignored it and now he's thrown together to work with the God of Love. How much can he really take before he snaps?
