Miscellaneous

These are stories from fandoms that I dabble in from time to time.

Links last checked on April 13, 2003.

The A-Team

An Unexpected Plot Twist by Sidewinder

Slash. This is really a touching first time story. Sidewinder has done an excellent job capturing Face and Murdock’s emotions and hesitations of taking that last, most serious step. Nicely done and very well written. 56k

~~~*~~~

Dawson’s Creeek

Boston Confidential by Laura
Slash. Egads, I feel like a moron for actually putting a DC story up here, as it’s an admission that I do actually watch the show from time to time. Confession aside, I think I’d still be recommending this story, as it’s one of the best first times I’ve ever read in any fandom. Time and circumstance make for a beautiful and very realistic experiment between Pacey and Jack. 47k

~~~*~~~

ER

The Ghost of Christmas Present and Desperate Vigil by Cathy
Slash. I’ve always wondered why there wasn’t more (or better, from what little I’ve seen) slash in this fandom. Then I stumbled onto these wonderful gems. Working in the context of the episode, Cathy creates the type of realistic, breathtaking stories that really push all my fanfic buttons. John Carter/Luka Kovac. 35k, 312K

~~~*~~~

Horatio Hornblower

Come Lie With Me by The Ragged Rose
Slash. Horatio and Edrington bond together over a little tart . Short, hot, and a good example of a perfect PWP story. 52K

Stories by Calypso
Slash. A deftly handled series that chronicles the burgeoning relationship between Archie and Horatio. But are they strong enough to face the danger that lurks over them in the later stories? Due to the frame format of this page, it is not possible to link past the front page. Simply follow the link to the story archive and then scroll down to find Calypso’s name.

Links Fixed! The Education Series by Charley Hart
Slash. I usually don’t go for the ‘slash everybody’ kind of stories, but these are just too hot to pass up. If I might suggest a name for this series, how ‘bout ‘The Sexual Miseducation of Horatio Hornblower’. Be sure to check out my personal favorite, The Captain’s Lesson, a little tryst between Horatio, Archie, and Captain Pellow.

Figureheads by Victoria Bitter
Non-graphic Slash. Ohh! I swoon! What a beautiful story -- even if you’re not a Hornblower fan (and if you’re not, what’s wrong with you? Have you *seen* Jamie Bamber and Ioan Griffudd???) Following their release from prison, Archie and Horatio have a long overdue conversation. The true genius of this story is the way Victoria puts into words the simple-yet-so-complex relationship between these two characters that we see on the screen. Do not miss this one.

Confessions by Krystine
Slash. While visiting Horatio’s father, a horrible accident leads Hornblower Sr. to learn the true nature of his son’s relationship with Archie. This is a well-plotted story with a cameo appearance by Major Edrington.

Recalled to Life and Into the Game by Pam and Del
Gen.I hated what happened to Archie Kennedy in the Hornblower movies. Perhaps that is why I'm so taken with the premise of this burgeoning series from Pam and Del. Rescued from his own 'death' by parties unknown, Archie is about to find out that nothing comes without a price. With a new identity and a new profession, he sets out to pay his debt by once again serving his country -- only not in His Majasty's Navy this time. 70K so far.

~~~*~~~

The Invisible Man

Who's the Boss? by LoganLover
Slash. A hot little PWP featuring Darien and Bobby. 19k

~~~*~~~

L.A. Confidential

Eliminate the Negative by Mona Ramsey
Slash. Mona has delivered a nice, well-written post-movie story. Ed Exley gets a surprise visit from an old friend on Christmas Eve. 18k

~~~*~~~

La Femme Nikita

Broken Link! Stolen Moments by Jigsaw

Adult. Jigsaw's written quite the steamy little PWP. Enjoy!

Broken Link! Walls by White Knight
Adult. Set after one of my all-time favourite eps (where Michael has amnesia), this beautifully crafted story truly captures both the angst and love Michael and Nikita share.

Tension Relief by Lianne
Slash. Michael and Birkoff? Oh, stop cringing! Lianne is a truly talented writer and she not only makes the relationship realistic, she writes fantastic sex scenes. The series begins when Madeline orders Michael to help an extremely tense Birkoff to relax. Sequels abound.

Gemini Part I and Part II by xof
Slash. Oh my. It’s been a long time since I found some good Nikita slash, so many thanks to Raonaid for pointing out this gem, and even more thanks to xof for writing it! An assignment is the basis for Birkoff’s introduction into the D/s world. Fortunately, Michael does an amazing job of teaching Birkoff. Tender and steamy in all the right places! There is a part 2 of this story that can be reached through the opening page 186k

~~~*~~~

Miami Vice

A Portrait in Water Colours by Elfin
Slash. Set after the (disastrous) end of the series, ‘Portrait’ is a wonderful, slashy ‘fix-it’ to the legions of us left unsatisfied by the canon storyline. When their airport goodbye is disrupted by a shared bullet, Crockett and Tubbs realize that they can’t just leave the job behind them. Back with Miami Vice, a new assignment takes their partnership in an entirely new direction. 400k

Broken Link! Wicked Games by Flamingo
Slash. Crockett and Tubbs get assigned a case that threatens to pull up nasty stuff from Sonny’s past. Flamingo does a great job here, especially the way she portrays Sonny’s inner-struggle to reconcile Crockett and Burnett. 425k

The Study in Light series by Jane Hughes
Slash. Study in Light is a classic H/C story, and man, does Jane put Crockett through a world of hurt. The writing is solid, even if the dialogue gets a little too soft in a few places. Well worth the read, especially for Sonny’s painfully realistic recovery. 630k This story contains non-consentual sex.

~~~*~~~

Queer as Folk - UK version

The Stand Off, Second Chance, and The Final Straw by K9
Slash. Vince has always been there waiting in the wings for Stuart to come around, but when Stuart finally sees the writing on the wall, will he be able to convince Vince of his intentions? A nicely plotted and well written series. 33K, 19K, 60K

Heavy Breathing by Deanna
Slash. Stuart. Vince. Phone sex. Yowza! There is a sequel, but be forewarned, it's really fluffy. 37K, 35K

~~~*~~~

Sharpe

Over the Hills and Far Away by Kitty Fisher
Slash. Patrick Harper takes care of his Captain in this exceedingly well-written story. 25k

~~~*~~~

Starsky and Hutch

Links Fixed! My True Love Gave to Me by Sebastyin
Slash. A super sweet Christmas tale for my two favourite 70’s detectives. The sex scene is wonderful - what every first time scene should be.

A Fine Storm by Suzan Lovett
Slash. Susan is not only an incredible artist, but also a phemonemonal writer, too! For two dectectives, Starsk and Hutch seem particularly clueless about each others emotions. Based off another story that chronicled the pair’s first one-night stand, this sequel continues this emotionally gripping, wonderful piece.

~~~*~~~

The Velvet Goldmine

If you’ve seen the movie, you’re most likely aware that ‘slashing’ it seems almost redundant. But, if you’re like me, you were probably left longing to know what happened next. Did Arthur actually let Curt slip off into the night? Did Curt finally confront Brian? Here are a few authors’ takes on what might have happened.

Broken Link! The Eye On You Series by Saraid

Slash (C/A). Probably my favourite ‘Curt and Arthur after the bar’ story. Arthur tracks down Curt and the two take tentative steps in a new relationship.

Broken Link! The Reawakening Series by Max Volume
Slash. (C/A, C/A/B) Another Curt/Arthur relationship story, but one that adds a repentant Brian back into the mix. Nicely presented, plus I love the part with Curt’s press conference.

Broken Link! Just Sex by Niel Jameson
Slash. (C/B) A steamy little PWP. Curt...Brian...shower. ‘Nuff said.

Broken Link! Taste by Eric
Slash. (C/B) This one is a borderline-PWP, and man, does it sizzle. Brian returns home early from an out-of-town photo shoot, but it’s difficult to say who is more grateful, Curt or Brian.
