Rec Your Own 2008
This is an interesting idea, letting authors point out fic that didn't get enough attention in 2008. (Thanks, Spiked!) I have a really bad habit of posting a ton of great fic in December to get it out before the year ends, totally missing the fact that almost nobody's online reading fic during the holidays. /headdesk/ So here's three (it was tough to choose!) out of a bunch of my December fic people might have missed while out having fun.
Note: For people looking for ideas for Numb3rs Awards fic to nominate, please check out the Master List of Master Lists (Always found on 1/1). This year people are adding links to the End of Year fic memes which often list which fic they think were best/their favorites, which is a great place to shop for fic to read and nominate.
Title: Safe Harbor
Author:
emmademarais
Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Billy
Rating: PG13
Length: 16K (Yes! It's a long one!)
Why I'm reccing this fic: I wrote it for my slashwife's birthday in February, but it languished in beta/rewrites so long I barely got it out same year. I feel bad that few people saw her present and IMHO it's very good if you like slow building slash relationships (like A Shift in the Continuum), H/C and casefic.
Charlie finally caved, opening his mouth and letting Billy put the small cookie on his tongue - feeling a little flush of interest from his body at the subtly intimate gesture. Charlie chewed and his face brightened. "That is good," he mumbled. He watched rapt as Billy sucked clean his sugar-dusted fingers, then - shaking himself - gestured to his mouth. "You have..." Billy reacted by wiping his mouth, but missed the trace of sugar at the corner. "Here..." Charlie reached the rest of the way over and rubbed his thumb across the edge of Billy's lips, wiping the sugar away.
The familiarity of their interplay had shifted the energy between them, leaving a charge hanging in the air. Charlie withdrew his hand, a little bashful at what he'd done, then jumped as his phone rang. He stared at it, paralyzed with dread.

Title: Addiction
Author:
emmademarais
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: 23K (A *really* long one!)
Why I'm reccing this fic: I didn't publish any Don/Charlie pretty much in the first half of 2008 so I made up for it with this super long shamefic with boatloads of angst and porn. It's all flavors of wrong, but I miss that from 2005. ;-) Unfortunately it got lost posted in December so this goes out to the cestficcers: I have not forsaken you! LOL
He kept trying to go back to work: research, reading journals, checking out potentially interesting graduate seminars for the next term. But it all came back to Don: the feel of his hard body beneath his fingers, the sight of his chest hair running in a tantalizing line down to his cock, the salty taste of him filling his mouth...
His fingers itched, but not for chalk. His mouth watered for a flavor he craved, but couldn't sate. He got hard, but getting off wasn't enough to kick the habit.
He needed 100 percent pure Don. Nothing else would do.

Title: Turnabout (Last Call Series)
Author:
emmademarais
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: 4K
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because so many people kept asking for the next installment in the Last Call Universe and I kept flailing over it. I finally got it out in December, so if you liked the series, this fic opens it up into a whole new direction that I'll be writing in 2009. And yeah, more Don/Charlie because I'm behind on that ship. ;-)
"I don't know what to do," Charlie answered honestly. "As your brother I want to let you rant about work, but as your lover..." he softened his tone on that word, "I want to hold you and kiss you and make it all go away, even if it's only for a while."
Charlie saw something flicker across Don's face before it was replaced with the resentment and rage that had been steadily consuming him. "Maybe you should just go home. I'm not exactly good company right now," he said, sullen but still a little apologetic.
"I said I wanted to be what you need." Charlie's voice was quiet but firm, as he put his bag and jacket aside. "I'm not leaving just because you're having a bad day. You need me. I just need to know what I can do to make things better for you."
