Fics: Just One Question, Picture This, and Learning to Read

[mustangcandi.livejournal.com]

Title: Just One Question
Author: mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Colby Granger, Gary Walker (implied Colby/OFC-Callie Walker)
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Length: 2096
Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic is written in a universe where Colby and Callie have been high school sweethearts; a universe where I have so much fun. This particular piece is a conversation between Gary Walker (Callie's dad) and Colby. I'm most proud of it because this was one of the first times I could actually hear the characters voices as I wrote and I think that comes across in the fic. I also enjoyed writing the pre-series look back at Colby's high school and solider days. :)

Just One Question

Title: Picture This
Author: mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Ian Edgerton/Nikki Betancourt
Rating: R (adult situations)
Length: 300 x 4
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was a drabble series I wrote after seeing some truly gorgeous pictures of Sophina Brown. Ian/Nikki is my favorite canon pairing and so writing a little fic to keep the long distance relationship interesting was a real treat.

Title: Learning to Read
Author: mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Charlie Eppes, Patrick Jane (The Mentalist, Numb3rs Crossover)
Rating: PG
Length:
Why I'm reccing this fic: Charlie doesn't believe in psychics. It's a good thing Patrick Jane isn't one. This piece was my very first (and only) crossover fic. This was also the first time I'd written Patrick Jane and only the second time I'd written Charlie Eppes. You can imagine how terrifying and exhilarating that experience was. As such, this is a fic I'm really glad to have written.

Title: after solomon's temple
Author: maerhys @ rhysmae
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OFC, OMC
Rating: PG
Length: 2.419
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is my first Numb3rs fic and possibly my favorite because of the sensory detail and the OPOV. Also, it wrote itself, which never happens.

Title: maybe you're gonna save me but i don't think so
Author: maerhys @ rhysmae
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OMC
Rating: R
Length: 2,851
Why I'm reccing this fic: Stockton!Don is so appealing so writing a fic wherein Charlie visits him there and Don has to choose between his teammates and Charlie was too irresistible.

Title: set fire to the sixth
Author: maerhys @ rhysmae
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2,818
Why I'm reccing this fic: Possibly my favorite trope to write, but I struggled with how to write it. However, I love how it worked out from the canon references to the sexiness toward the end.

FIC: Unexpected Visitor, Promise? and Home on the Range

[spikedluv]

Title: Unexpected Visitor
Author: spikedluv
Pairing/Characters: David/Colby, OFC
Rating: R
Length: 3008 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I don’t write a lot of Original Characters, but I created one for this fic that I liked, and other folk seemed to enjoy: Colby’s mom.
A brief excerpt: David walked into the living room, tangled up in a t-shirt. “Granger, I think this is your t-shirt. Any idea where I left . . .” David’s head appeared from the t-shirt and he saw Colby standing there with his mother. “. . . mine? Uh . . . hi.”

Catherine’s eyes went wide as she took in David, jeans unbuttoned, feet bare, skin still damp from the shower. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything?”

Unexpected Visitor


Title: Promise?
Author: spikedluv
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: 2496 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love to write Don/Charlie first-time fic, where Don just wants so badly, and thinks he can’t have.
A brief excerpt: Despite every muscle being tensed to run, and every sense telling him how really, really bad of an idea it was, Don allowed a gentle hand to turn his face until he and Charlie were practically nose to nose.

“Don, tell me again,” Charlie said, “tell me everything’s going to be all right.”

Charlie sounded five, but god, he looked like sex on legs. Hair a little bit mussed from Don’s hand, lips red and swollen from where he’d been biting at them, eyes wide and dark with . . . Jesus, with arousal.

Promise?


Title: Home on the Range
Author: spikedluv
Pairing/Characters: Don/Colby (pre-slash)
Rating: PG13
Length: 1600 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I wrote a couple of AU’s this year, but this is one that I’m really happy with, and which one day might get continued.
A brief excerpt: Don steered the Jeep down the dirt driveway, navigating pot holes and ruts, a glance in the rearview mirror showed the dust billowing up behind him in a valiant attempt to obscure the vehicle. When the ranch house finally came into view, Don was pleasantly surprised. The house was large, painted white and accented with green trim, boasting a wrap-around porch, but it wasn’t as ostentatious as the first ranch he’d already visited that morning.
