[HP REC]

Title: Betrayal is a Thorny Crown (You Wear It Well)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] snegurochka_lee
Based On: Bruised Like a Cherry (Ripe as a Peach) by fleshdress (Teddy/James, NC-17: chan)
Pairing: Teddy/James
Rating: NC-17
Content: James was 15 in the original story, and although they are older now, there is much erotic reminiscing about that.
Word Count: ~8,800
Summary: Five years after taking his fifteen-year-old godbrother's virginity, Teddy has done everything he can to avoid James. He is definitely not supposed to look this good when Teddy finally runs into him again, but Teddy is pretty sure the kid will never forgive him for disappearing like that.

Emo!boys being EMO! *rolls around in the heartache* This is a fabulous look at '5 years after the HEA', as in the Happily Ever After that could not possibly have been easily achieved and it all goes sour – because James was 15! in the original fic, and just where do you go from there? This looks at Teddy breaking James's heart and then bumping into him years later. The tension and hurt and undeniable heat between them makes for a fabulous encounter.


[MERLIN REC]
Title: Fame and Fortune
Writer: melusinahp
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: Eventual NC-17
Word Count: not sure – 7 chapter of 5kish each?
Warnings: None
Summary: AU set in Los Angeles, California during the 1990's. Arthur is a movie star. Merlin is a waiter. The word "prat" is used.
I fail at my 'No AU' policy, apparently. Will power? Zero. Amazing Fics? 1 :) This fic is made of happiness. The characterization is so damn spot on. From the first scene Merlin is so. Damn. Merlin. I mean, rescuing a fair maiden from unjust treatment and cheekily making Arthur and his friends look like TOTAL PRATS in the process? It's like canon, only LA style. And then a Personal Assistant to a movie star is the PERFECT equivalent to a manservant. I was just waiting for Arthur to tell him to go muck out his stables. Their interactions are wonderful and hilarious and Arthur is as infuriating and endearing as in the show, which is really hard to pull off, imo. Fabulous fic.
