Title: Chase Reality Away

Chase Reality Away


Title: Variations on a Theme (Plane Crash in C)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] raeyashi
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: PG-NC17
Length: 10 100-word drabbles
Why I'm reccing this fic: This author’s writing style is gorgeous and these 10 drabbles cover the gamut from h/c to romance to kink.
A Brief Excerpt: They can’t be defined by something as simple as words. Brothers and lovers are just terms, unable to describe what Don feels for Charlie, Charlie for Don. They just are, nothing more, nothing less.

Title:  Q is for Quarry
Author: celadon
Pairing/Characters: Don E, Charlie E, Alan E.
Rating: T
Length: 101,633 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This story really reveals to me the joy of a long-fic. It might have taken a year to complete, but there was always pleasure in reading a nice long update, even if it was once a month. Case-related which holds your interest from the beginning, and centered on Don. What more could you want?

Q is for Quarry

Title: Disequilibrium
Author: shaolingrrl
Pairing/Characters: Don E, Charlie E
Rating: K+
Length: 20, 425 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Very nice Don angst written from Charlie's POV. Set season 3, and revolving around a case, we get to see some of Don's demons through Charlie eyes, especially good 'cause Season 3 Don was very dark.

Title: Inappropriate Behavior Series
Author: [personal profile] entangled_now 
Pairing/Characters: Don/Colby
Rating: R
Length: 4 stories (so far!)
Why I'm reccing this fic: I don't usually rec WIPs (Works-in-Progress) but this is such a fun series and the UST is part of the fun. It all starts with Don and Colby taken hostage and where Colby likes to keep his spare gun ... Pure silliness! :D




'Inappropriate Behavior' series
[identity profile] valeriev84.livejournal.com

Since angst fic is my absolute favorite type of fic, this rec possed quite a challenge for me to choose only three. Therefore I had to set some parameters:
1) I am not re-reccing anything as almost everything I've recced already is angst
2) Since there is so little cross-posting between FF.N and LJ, I decided to go for all FF.N fics as most people who will view this are LJers. So hopefully this will introduce you to some new fic.

Title: Time to Kill
Author: Zubeneschamali
Pairing/Characters: Don, Benny Natale
Rating: T
Length: 8,675 words (2 chapters)
Summary: What if there was another reason for Benny Natale to hang around L.A. after killing Leah Wexford — like getting revenge on the FBI agent who thwarted him five years ago in Albuquerque?
Note: AU for In Security.
Why I'm reccing this fic: It's a great angst fic and unique from most others due to its unusual point of view. The entire fic is told from Natale's pov from beginning to end. Part of the reason I like this fic so much is because the thought of Benny going after Don crossed my mind during the episode when we learned Benny was staying in LA and I was really hoping he'd try something along these lines. Plus I love the idea of Don having to drive himself away from help so that Benny can exact his revenge.

Title: Sympathy for the Devil
Author: DreamBrother
Pairing/Characters: Don
Rating: T
Length: 1,369 words
Summary: Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, but what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Note: Dark fic!
Why I'm reccing this fic: Beyond the fact that it is a great Don angst fic? Well, the situation Don finds himself in is different from what would be expected. Instead of Charlie being used to get to Don, Don is targetted to get to Charlie who has been whisked to safety along with Alan, leaving Don as the only way to find him. The only problem? Getting Don to actually talk and give them what they want to know.

Sympathy for the Devil




Title: Night Thoughts
Author: shaolingrrl
Pairing/Characters: Charlie, Don
Rating: T
Length: 1,838 words
Summary: What if Don did not start therapy?
Note: Dark fic!
Why I'm reccing this fic: Charlie comes in from the garage past midnight to find his brother sitting alone in the dark... with his gun. Great little ficlet showing what might have happened to Don without Bradford's help. Dark and angst, a brilliant combination in my opinion, especially when it is poor Don at the center of it.

Here are two wonderful, angsty Don fics that aren't (as far as I know) posted anywhere on LJ.

Title: The Fugitive
Author: Zubeneschamali
Pairing/Characters: Don, (Charlie, Alan, Megan, Colby, David)
Rating: T
Length: 139,634 words (16 chapter + epilogue)
Summary: Inspired by the classic story, an innocent man wrongly convicted of murder must flee for his life and his freedom while seeking the truth.
Note: AU, branching off after Money for Nothing. In this world, there was no mysterious DOJ assignment for Megan, no Janus List, and there never will be.
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is an excellent and detailed fic. It starts shortly after Don is convicted of murdering Special Agent Liz Warner in an attempt to prevent her discovery of his criminal activities within the FBI from coming to light. Luckily for him, a minor quake causes his prison bus to crash, allowing him to do what nobody expects... run. As he desperately attempts to uncover Liz's true killer on his own, he must also evade the FBI, led by the determined agent who investigated his case, ... and the assassin hired to take him out.
The story unfolds beautifully and the cross country descriptions are fantastic. The slow way that the conspiracy behind the corruption and murder unfolds is masterfully done.


A brief excerpt )







The Fugitive




Title: Set the Fire
Author: Lisa Paris
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie, Alan, Megan, Colby, David
Rating: T
Length: 23 chapters + prologue & epilogue
Summary: First of all, he was conscious of the quiet. Of the cold, and the unearthly silence . . .
Note: This fic is posted in two places (that I know of). The first is fanfiction.net, where it is still being posted one chapter at a time. The second is the fanrush forums, where all the chapters are already posted. The problem with the second site is that there is no central list with all the chapters, only a listing of all the threads started by the author.
Why I'm reccing this fic: A wonderfully angsty fic. After successfully infiltrating a criminal organization, Don becomes a target in order to prevent him from testifying in court... and for personal revenge. The only problem? Don puts up a struggle when cornered and throws off the plan. The end result? The bullet meant to kill him, though hitting his head, doesn't kill him. Unbeknownst to the hitmen, he lies alive where he was dumped. Will the others find him in time?
Or will Don die, cold and alone?

Title: The Lost Colony
Author: Joolz
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie
Rating: R
Length: 26,000
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: Don and Charlie go to Atlantis!!!!! A crossover between two of my favorite shows, what’s not to like?!!
A brief excerpt: “Let me see if I understand. An alien race left code on an obscure planet in the Pegasus Galaxy, and you want me to go there to analyze it?”

Title: Magic in Numbers
Author: Dragonydreams
Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Willow
Rating: PG13
Length: 11,500
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I thought the author came up with a great way to blend the Numb3rs and BtVS ‘verses. And can’t you just imagine it when Charlie and Willow get talking? *g*
A brief excerpt )

Magic in Numbers


Title: Go-Cart Charlie
Author: Red Soprano
Pairing/Characters: Charlie-centric
Rating: PG13
Length: 25,000
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I read this fic when it was nominated for the first round of Numb3rs Awards, without really knowing anything about Medium, except of course, that she talks to dead people, and I enjoyed the story very much. I didn’t feel like I missed out, not having watched Medium, and the relationship between the Eppes boys rang very true to me.

Title: Bits and Pieces [of you]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] raeyashi
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: R
Length: 21 images of text (not dialup friendly)
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Breathtaking.

Text as art, fonts and formatting adding meaning to mere and not so mere ("Don when did you get so beautiful") words.

I had the good fortune to watch this being made, but the final publishing still left me in awe.

Forget sausagemaking. This was like being present for the miracle of childbirth.

Only this child was special on a Charlie-like level.

Do. Not. Miss.

This won a Numb3rs award for good reason.

Title: Reciprocity
Author: [livejournal.com profile] raucousraven
Pairing/Characters: Charlie-centric
Rating: She says “P for Plotty. And if your mother's okay with you watching the show, you can read this.”
Length: 168 KB
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love learning little tidbits about the Eppes boys’ pasts, and this one offers a glimpse into a version of Charlie’s past where he really did have to learn how to fire a gun. What’s not to like about that image?
A brief excerpt: Charlie raises the pistol, left hand steady under right. Lets his mind go blank.

Reciprocity


Title: Brothelers
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie (with other pairings mentioned)
Rating: NC17
Length: Long (series with 14 parts to date)
Why I'm reccing this fic: Don and Charlie working in a brothel. It’s hot, but it’s also very sweet, and it’s intriguing, finding out what led the boys here.

Rating: R
Length: each drabble is 100 words total drabble amount 131 (131,00 words?)
Why I'm reccing this fic: Just a really good series about Amita from student, to lover, to girlfriend to wife with Charlie. (Present tense starts around "Undercurrents." Past tense is when Amita is Charlie's student.)

Title: Vigilante Terrorist
Author: ALEO
Pairing/Characters: Don
Rating: T
Length: 56,503 words (22 chapters)
Summary: With an FBI agent under his control just how far is a vigilante willing to go to catch a terrorist?
Note: This fic is the sequel to Failure and this fic should really be read before starting the recced one as it provides important background information on the bad guy and Don's state of mind.
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it is an awesome Don-centric angst fic that is extremely well written! What started as a normal day for Don turns into a nightmare when he is forced to do the bidding of an agent killer vigilante in order to prevent the deaths of hundreds of civilians. Unable to tell his team or the Bureau the truth of the situation due to a possible inside leak, Don is forced to resort to desperate measures to do the vigilante's orders and save hundreds of lives even as he is watched and mistrusted by his side. The writing flows smoothly, the situation unfolds nicely and poor, poor Don just kepts getting hurt.

Rating: R
Length: 7,900 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: It’s possible that I chose this theme because this particular fic was still on my mind. Dani’s OC is Todd Eppes, a compelling and believable character who fits well into the Eppes family as we know it.

Title: A long way
Author: scotsrock
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie (mainly; has also some (implied) Charlie/Amita, Don/Nadine, OMC/OFC)
Rating: Author says M; I'd go by R (only for adult themes, because really, it's PG-13)
Length: 4,344 words; 8 (short) chapters
Why I'm reccing this fic: One of the few Don/Charlie fics on ff.net. I'm reccing this because - at least in my opinion - the POV is rather unusual (it's Don's son finding out about their relationship and how he deals with it), because it has older Don and Charlie, which isn't so common either, and because it makes me sad everytime I read it, but the ending makes me happy :-)

Title: N Is For Nothing At All
Author: Unspoken Tragedy
Pairing/Characters: Alan, (one of the Eppes boys)
Rating: T
Length: 661 words
Summary: What do you say to a parent about their dead son?
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it is really well written and so full of angst. Alan is confronted with his worst nightmare and now has nothing left but memories and regrets. Unspoken Tragedy is a master at dark and tragic fics and she has definitely done it again with this one.


N Is For Nothing At All


Title: 49858
Author: Cascade Waters
Pairing/Characters: Alan, Don
Rating: T
Length: 2,390 words
Summary: Time bleeds away...
Why I'm reccing this fic: Another great Alan angst fic. Don has been attacked by a suspect and it was unsure whether or not he'll survive, so Alan can do nothing but wait. While he does so he thinks of all the things that have been left unsaid between himself and his eldest, and of all the misunderstandings and tension between them due to his past and Don's career. Great tension and it deals with the issues from Protest that I felt were never fully resolved.

Title: Where Are We?
Author: FraidyCat
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie, Alan, OFC
Rating: T
Length: 20,820
Why I'm reccing this fic:  This is a great, tense fic where Don and Charlie wake up in a room with no idea how they got there and why they're injured.  We see the team trying to track them down and the brothers trying to keep each other alive and sane.  Alan shines in this story when he has to deal with the insane woman holding his boys hostage.
