forgive my mouth

Please note that some of these recs are new, while others have been languishing on my old fic rec list since before July, when my sciatic nerve acted up and kept me off the computer for most of four months. Enjoy! *g*

Le Fic Recs:

due South: Growing Pains by Elizabeth Mc. (Fraser/RayK; NC17; AU) This is quite a long story, and no one bit of dialogue seemed to capture what I wanted to share with you, so I’ll just say that it’s a story about fathers and sons and moving on, and as the author says, “Ben and Ray learn that sometimes letting go of the past is the only way to pave your future.”

Live Free or Die Hard: Waist Deep and Sinking by lunabee34 (John/Matt; NC17) Every time he hears a car backfire, Matt has to fight the urge to drop and look for cover. He’s also pretty dicey with elevators and he doesn’t think he’ll be flying again any time soon. Or ever.

Mag7: Gunsmoke by sara_merry99 (Chris/Vin; NC17) Chris leaned into him, finding some way to be closer even though it'd seemed that they were hardly far enough apart for air to get through, and said, "Now you know what to expect. So be prepared for it. You want your second shot to be as true as the first." His voice was rough and tender, his breath hot on Vin's ear.

NCIS: Classic by sperrywink (Gibbs/DiNozzo; PG13) With a look of disbelief, Tony finally came to the point. “I’m just. Are you saying your coma made you gay?”

Numb3rs: Fixing the Numb3rs by cpwatcher (Don/Charlie; NC17, post-Guns and Roses) The actual numbers put Don as a prime candidate for suicide. It put Charlie there too. All because they were missing a very important thing in their lives. Love, true love. And without that, neither of them stood a chance.

The Sentinel: Sentinel Justice by fluterbev (Jim/Blair; NC17; AU) A tiny spark of something – perhaps a ghost of the man he once was – caused Blair to look back at the lawyer. Determined suddenly to meet Ellison stare for stare, despite feeling a lot like a rodent caught in the mesmerizing gaze of a snake, he said coldly, “You said you know a lot. If you know so much, man, then you know why.” Blair laughed, the sound totally devoid of happiness. “Hell, I’m a guide – worse than that, I’m a guide who evaded the draft, which they inevitably discovered after I was arrested. My word was meaningless after that. There is no way, after staying in the closet so long – after hiding what I am for my whole life, and refusing to enlist – that they’d find me anything other than guilty. No defense lawyer, no matter how good, could have gotten me through that.”

SGA: Artistry by lunabee34 (Lorne/Ronon; NC17) The days pass and Evan has absolutely no idea what to draw for Ronon but another thing has become abundantly clear. At some point, Evan realizes that he has stopped watching Ronon and started watching Ronon. This problem is compounded by the fact that ever since that day in the gym, Ronon’s been spending as much of his off-duty time with Evan as he does with his team.

Supernatural:

Green and Gamboge by sevenfists (Sam/Dean; NC17) Sam spends three days looking through every book he can get his hand on, but he can't find anything that would explain why Dean's got a harem of gremlins following him around, or any way to get the gremlins back in the engine, or in somebody else's engine—basically anywhere that isn't near Sam. He gives up and calls Bobby.

"Gremlins, huh," Bobby says. There's a pause, and then a muffled noise.

"Are you laughing?" Sam asks.

"No," Bobby says.

He's totally laughing. "Is there anything we can do?"

"Lemme get back to you on that one," Bobby says.

Ramsey, when Sam calls him, doesn't even try to pretend that he doesn't think it's the most hilarious thing he's ever heard.

Few and Far Between (Route 66 - Team Schmoop) by sevenfists (Sam/Dean; NC17) In July, they drive the whole length of old Route 66, Chicago to LA. It's something Dean's always wanted to do. He buys a map and spreads it out on the bed one night, while they're eating pizza and watching Leno, and traces his finger along the crooked yellow line.

Led me to spn_heraea: The Sam/Dean Schmoop vs Angst Olympics

Cardinal Directions (Route 66 - Team Angst) by caelumi (Sam/Dean, Sam/OFC; NC17; angst) The thing is, sometimes Dean hates Sam.

and

My Brother Sammy is Dead (Binoculars - Team Angst) by pesha (Sam, Dean; PG13; angst) Scanning the evening crowd returning from class, Dean realized he was tense because he wanted desperately to see Sammy again. He needed to see that his brother was still out here being a geek but being himself. Dean suddenly needed that so badly his throat ached and his eyes itched behind the field lenses.

That was the first time that Dean got a good look at Sam.

T:TSCC: In the Deep by finding_jay (John/Derek: NC17) The air is hot and thick around him, sweat sticking to his forehead, hair plastered against his temples. It’s hard to breathe. It’s humid, so fucking humid, and his room is stuffy. The window is open just enough to let a tiny breeze in, but his door is shut and the fan stopped working half an hour ago, and if his face wasn’t shoved into the pillow to stop the neighbours from hearing them, he’d fucking scream.
