Fic

Doctor Who

Twelve Clichés That Never Happened To Martha Jones, by

nostalgia_lj
Pairing: Ten/Martha
Rating: R
Teaser: The Doctor raised an eyebrow and started unbuttoning his shirt. "Does it help," he asked, "if I said it would be terribly offensive to these people if we didn't have sex with each other? Fertility festival and all."
Notes: This just makes me laugh from start to finish. XD

Read The Fucking Manual, by

nostalgia_lj
Pairing: Ten/Martha
Rating: R/NC17
Teaser: "But we'd be having safe sex, obviously. I always carry condoms because you're better safe than stuck with an STD, and sometimes you can use them to break technology or make friends with a fetishist. Not the most unusual thing I've ever saved a planet with, but probably in the top ten."
Notes: This also makes me laugh. In fact, it had me literally falling off my chair. Read it!

Final Fantasy XII

If Wishes Were, by

laylah
Pairing: Gabranth/Drace
Rating: NC17
Teaser: She tugs loose the laces of her shirt and opens it, realizing that her binding is still wound taut around her rib cage -- that, too, has broadened along with her shoulders. She pulls the binding free, and manages -- only through an acute awareness of how ridiculous it would look -- not to look down her own shirt curiously. "You know," she says, handing off the binding linen to Gabranth, "I've not been so flat-chested since I was twelve."
Notes: Intelligent genderswitch. I first read this ages ago and didn't bookmark it, and I'm glad I found it again.

The Fionavar Tapestry

Love, Do You Remember My Name?, by

glass_icarus
Pairing: Kevin/Paul
Rating: PG13/R
Teaser: The music pauses, a quiet breath before the pure, clear notes of the second movement pour into the room, weaving Paul's name in such love that Kevin cannot find any bitterness in himself for this quiet, unassuming girl who holds Paul's heart in her hands.
Notes: Kevin is so perfectly himself; so unselfish, so loving of Paul. This couple breaks my heart, and this fic just adds to it.

GetBackers

Acquainted With The Night, by

incandescens
Pairing: Shido/Madoka
Rating: G
Teaser: "You are the darkness that I want. With you I'm safe. You are my protection. I know you'll never hurt me. You can't take me. I give myself to you. Every day that I've listened to you, I've heard it in you. Shido. I'm yours."
Notes: I didn't like Shido/Madoka in the series. She's so innocent, and he's so... not. But this fic makes me like it, all on its own. ♥

What The Floodgates Cannot Hold, by

reversedhymnal
Pairing: Juubei/Kazuki, Toshiki/Kazuki
Rating: NC17
Teaser: Toshiki could not hate Juubei, but he could not help resenting him, either. Juubei had a past with Kazuki, and he had a future with their threadmaster, as well. Toshiki could see it in the tender smiles they shared, the calm silences, the hands that touched and fingers that caught when they thought he was not looking.
Notes: Polygamy! Also, it's one threesome that makes crazy amounts of sense.

Leading The Blind, by

reversedhymnal
Pairing: Juubei/Kazuki
Rating: NC17
Teaser: “…all right.” Juubei’s fingers slide hesitantly up, further, tracing the column of Kazuki’s throat, the pointed curve of his chin, over his high cheek bones, to- He hits the black fabric of Kazuki’s blindfold, and stops breathing.
Notes: This makes lovely use of Juubei's blindness and the trust between the two. And it's sexy.

Through Bonds Of Words And Bonds Of Action, by

reversedhymnal
Pairing: Toshiki/Juubei/Kazuki
Rating: NC17
Teaser: Technically, he shouldn’t let this go; he should get up, possibly manipulate a few threads, and voice a word or two of warning. So much has happened, sometimes he still feels like he’s on a hair trigger. But he doesn’t get up; there’s no need: he trusts this person, and that makes all the difference. Instead, he just lays in bed, feeling Juubei solid and strong and peaceful in his arms, their heartbeats matching. The warm, heavy presence of another person’s eyes on them is the last thing he remembers before surrendering back to sleep.
Notes: Porn with good characterisation. Which is what most of the GB fic I have bookmarked is. 8D

Love Comes To Rest, by Rana Eros
Pairing: Toshiki/Juubei/Kazuki
Rating: NC17
Teaser: Toshiki stands still for the kiss, which is warm and strong and straightforward, as Kakei has always been. Lifts his own hands to Kakei's arms, holds him gently, loosely. This isn't a thing he's even imagined, and he doesn't want to upset the balance and stop it until he's certain he'll remember.
Notes: I really think those three are perfect together. They have a balance, as it says.

All I Can Do Is Hold You, by nina_dreams
Pairing: MakubeX/Sakura
Rating: NC17
Teaser: Sakura wields her silk with no mercy, tying it tightly around his wrists and bounds them above his head, so that he knows that his wrists will be tender.
Notes: Just a tiny bit, but it's really the way MakubeX/Sakura works, in my head. Oh. ♥

Kingdom Hearts

One Last Performance, by Uzumaki-sama
Characters: Demyx, Sora, Roxas
Rating: G
Teaser: Demyx almost expects to see a flash of blonde hair instead of brown—someone once a friend, but now a stranger. There is no recognition there on the keyblade master's face. His expression is set with determination, every one of his movements precise and calculated, almost as smooth as the water itself.
Notes: Oh, Demyx. ;_;

Phoenix Wright

Turnabout Coming Out, by Ellcrys
Pairing: Phoenix/Edgeworth
Rating: G
Teaser: "Pearl," Maya interrupted as Pearl produced a pen as well. She glanced at Phoenix, almost apologetically, then leaned forward, placing her hands on Pearl's shoulders. "...I really didn't want to let you down, Pearly - but... really, truly, honest-to-burgers - Nick and I aren't getting married. We've never even dated."
Notes: Bwahahaha. Poor Pearl.

On The Care And Training Of Ace Attorneys, by

suudonim
Pairing: Phoenix/Edgeworth
Rating: R
Teaser: One moment he was being pressed up against the wall in the entranceway, coat still on, cheeks flushed from more than the walk from the car, groans hitching into the dry, blessedly warm air. The next moment, a rushing clatter of nails on hardwood before the series of really extraordinarily nice things that were being done to his neck stopped entirely and the weight atop him lurched away abruptly with a yelp.
Notes: Edgeworth's dog. XD Creepy step-parent metaphor. Oh my. ♥

Art

Final Fantasy X

Tidal Fayth, by nachtwulf
Characters: Tidus
Rating: G
Notes: So beautiful. With so much attention to detail. ♥

Little Yuna and Lulu, by alicia-chan
Characters: Yuna, Lulu
Rating: G
Notes: It's so simple and pretty. I love the expression on Lulu's face.

GetBackers

Juubei and Kazuki, by Rune
Characters: Juubei, Kazuki
Rating: G
Notes: Hee, Juubei and Kazuki side by side, ready for battle! Kazuki is clearly himself without being uber-girly, and Juubei looks young, and cute, but still strong and capable.

On The Rocks, by fablespinner
Character: Teshimine
Rating: PG
Notes: ♥

Heroes

Sylar, by

_odella_
Character: Sylar
Rating: G
Notes: Sylar! With clocks and blood!

Phoenix Wright

After Entirely Too Much Deliberation On the Matter, by

justira
Pairing: Phoenix/Edgeworth
Rating: PG
Notes: This is just gorgeous. The lines are really strong and clear, the expressions are lovely, the hand clenched in Nick's shirt... ♥
