FIC: Any Other Friday; FIC No Ordinary Birthday

Title:Any Other Friday
Author:Melissima
Pairing/Characters:Don/Charlie
Rating: R
Length: 300 K
Why I'm reccing this fic: Never has eppescest been so hot without even getting to the sex part of eppescest. Her bossy!Charlie is RAWR with a capital R. For such a short fic, this drabble left such an impact, her flist begged for a sequel, and she did not disappoint. (See next rec below)

Any Other Friday

Title:No Ordinary Birthday
Author: Melissima
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC 17 FRAO
Length: 1500K
Why I'm reccing this fic: I am incoherent with love for this fic. It's uberhot, gorgeously written, and incredibly sexy. Mel has an absolutely amazing ability to paint intoxicating visuals with tight, visersal prose. Her ability to make you feel like you are there in her characters' heads and bodies is remarkable. Run do not walk to read this fic!

No Ordinary Birthday

FIC: so close that your hand on my chest is my hand; FIC:set fire to the sixth; FIC:maybe you're go

The inherent danger in recommending Mae's fics is that depending on what day or time or mood I am in when you ask me, I will pic 3 different fics everytime as my all-time favorite Mae's fics. The truth of the matter is incredibly simple: you can't go wrong with any of the fics on her masterlist. So consider this rec as appetizer and her masterlist the buffet of AWESOME. Read them all, my friends. You will not regret spending the time listening to the music her words make.

Why I'm reccing this fic: So good and sweet and rich packed into a tiny fic that leaves you wanting so much more. Mae is truly gifted in showing the reader what her characters feel through all this glorious sensory detail without ever expliciting letting you into their thoughts. It just gorgeous and angsty and achy and guh. I heart her interpretation of both the brothers during the series timeline as well as pre-series. She is a lovely treat to all of us 'cester who love the brothers the best.

Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic is one that I could read over and over again and never tire of it. It's lyrical and strong and creative and there are lines in this fic that make me positively envious of her gift with words. But the ending, guh, the ending is what kills. It's hits hard and good and satisfying like a strong drink after a long day. READ IT!

Why I'm reccing this fic: Everything you loved about season 1 Don and Charlie is in this fic plus a little extra for us 'cesters. /winks/ I simply adore this fic. I could spend hours pointing out all the things I love. The fact is Mae is clever and funny and creative and completely draws you into her world with her words. And the attraction b/t the brothers is so hot, it is at incendiary levels in this fic.

*bounce* I have been dying to rec this fic here, but it was locked. :( I am thrilled that [livejournal.com profile] fabularasa was willing to have it posted it outside her journal so that everyone can read it. Because it is just that good.

Title: Low and Outside

Rating: NC17
Length: 15,000+
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it is AWESOME!! A return to season one Don/Charlie with the lovely angst and the hot brother lovin’ and the sweetness. And did I mention it was scorching hot?
A brief excerpt: “Charlie,” Don breathed, meaning it to be the first part of Charlie, stop, only Charlie maybe took it as encouragement, or maybe he wasn’t as quick on the stop as he had meant to be.

“Come on, let’s do each other,” Charlie whispered in the dark, and just like that, he was being unzipped, and there was a warm hand closing on his dick, which all of a sudden could think of no objections.

Pairing/Characters: Colby/Don
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3127 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: In four words? How Don met Colby. This is pre-series and absolutely gorgeous. Spike never fails to deliver a spectacular fic and writes these two fabulously. Also, did I mention how freaking HOT this is? Because it's scorching.

Rating: FMAO
Length: 2656 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Coming from the Star Trek fandom, I couldn't resist a good "Pon Farr" fic, especially when I saw that [livejournal.com profile] swingandswirl wrote it. She does a fantastic job, making an old "cliche" fresh and new. It's not your typical "Pon Farr" and is absolutely wonderful.

Why I'm reccing this fic: This AU is cute and sassy. Who can resist Rancher Colby and Sheriff Don? Certainly not me! It takes us to their first meeting with Don new on the job and all hot and bothered over Colby. A must read for all AU fans!

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

Title: Unexpected Visitor
Author: [livejournal.com profile] 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: [livejournal.com profile] 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: [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OFC, OMC
Rating: PG

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.

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.

Pairing: David/Colby, Colby/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was the fic that really pulled me into reading Numb3rs fic. It was the very first series I read in the fandom and to this day continues to be one of my favorites. The 'verse Irena has created is dynamite and I strongly urge you to read all of Watson, not just this piece.

It Changes Everything

Title: Non-euphemistic Strawberries

Pairing: Charlie/Ian
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short
Why I'm reccing this fic: Okay, I'll readily admit that I'm a bit bias because the fic was written for me, but that doesn't mean a thing when it comes to [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now's writing. This is part of the "Inappropriate Behavior" series but instead of Colby/Don, it's Charlie/Ian and absolutely fantastic.

Why I'm reccing this fic: [livejournal.com profile] sour_louise does a fantastic job of maintaining that border between humor and hot/sexy/ngggggh in this drabble. It's cute without being too schmoopy which can sometimes be hard to do.

Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Coop with unrequited!Charlie/Don
Rating: PG-13
Length: 300 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is actually the last fic in a series of three but this one packed the most punch. Typically, I loathe proxy fic but this is so sensuous yet plays on the pain that Charlie and Billy feel as they both want Don and end up with one another. Every word packs a punch and the bittersweet themes linger long after the story ends.

Killing Two Birds With One Stone


Title: Just

Pairing/Characters: Don/David
Rating: NC-17
Length: ± 550 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This story makes me ache for David and what he wants and can't seem to have. Also Don could easily look like a complete asshole instead he is drawn as confused and cold. The characterization in this is so gorgeous.

FIC: Counting the Ways to Where You Are, Just Another Day & Roving Warriors

I missed the AU Theme Redux, but I have some AU fic I want to rec, so I’m slipping them in on this open rec week:

Title: Counting the Ways to Where You Are
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dancinbutterfly
Pairing/Characters: Daniel Shay/OMC , the Eppes
Rating: R
Length: ~4160 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Post-Calculated Risk Don adopts Daniel, and this is a wonderful look at Daniel’s life, and how the Eppes family helped shape it.
A brief excerpt: “Most people are at least a little bisexual, that's pretty much fact. But you know, you shouldn't be focusing on that. You should be focusing on how Kevin makes you feel. And how is that?”

“Like I found the solution to a question I didn't even know how to ask,” Daniel says, tossing the orange gumball nervously from hand to hand. He's a doctoral student for god's sake, not a sixteen-year-old girl.

Counting the Ways to Where You Are


Title: Just Another Day
Author: [livejournal.com profile] sororcula
Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Colby, Ian Edgerton, Mildred Finch
Rating: PG13
Length: ~1044 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was written for the [livejournal.com profile] numb3rsficathon Role Reversal, in which [livejournal.com profile] sororcula reversed Ian and Millie. How could that not be fun?!! *g*
A brief excerpt: He'd heard the stories about Mildred Finch, of her amazing tracking and sniping skills.

Just Another Day


Title: Roving Warriors
Author: [livejournal.com profile] strifechaos
Pairing/Characters: Colby/Ian
Rating: NC17
Length: ~6000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Colby wears a leather skirt and tries to make Ian jealous, what’s not to like about that?!! *g*
A brief excerpt: Don may have offered Colby up for Ian's partner because the younger man had needed a distraction but Ian was pretty positive that this wasn't what Don had had in mind.

Title: Additive Inverse [tag to 1.09 Sniper Zero]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] castalie
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: ~3876 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it’s a perfect example of how the stress of keeping their relationship a secret could affect Don. And it’s hot. *g*
A brief excerpt: It was in cases like this that he felt claustrophobic. Because loving Charlie... sometimes it made him hurt. It was painful and difficult - while at the same time, it seemed to be the easiest thing in the world.

Additive Inverse


Title: All the Unworkable Workings [tag to 2.12 The OG]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mojokid
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie
Rating: PG
Length: ~1797 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A lovely glimpse of the brothers Eppes.
A brief excerpt: Don shakes his head and shuts his eyes for a moment. When he opens them, they’ve cleared, and he gives Charlie a half-smile that changes his whole face, makes him look like he’s only five years older again, except Charlie can still see the dead note of exhaustion in the slump of his shoulders.

All the Unworkable Workings


Title: Bogey [tag for 1.12 Noisy Edge]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: PG13
Length: ~1106 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A sweet, fun moment between the brothers.
A brief excerpt: Charlie eased back a little, pulling gently away from Don's grip, leaning against the bag of clubs. He smelled leather and dust and Don and freshly-mowed grass, and his brain felt half lulled to sleep; he no longer had the slightest interest in the chalkboards he could see over Don's shoulder.

Preferences, Smoke And Mirrors, Truth And Consequences

Title: Preferences [Tag to "Harvest"]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] spikedluv
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1780 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: If I wrote for the show, this would be canon. *g* "Harvest" is not an episode I am crazy about but this tag makes it very worthwhile. Clean, clear prose with spot-on characterization and smoking hot porn - what's not to love?

Preferences


Title: Smoke And Mirrors [Tag to "Soft Target"]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] audrarose
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1004 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: The second N3 fic I read and it's still a favorite. The angst is delicious and the unsure, almost surreal atmosphere of the fic will pull you in. This is not only amazing characterization but amazing craft – a fabulous story in every way.

Smoke And Mirrors


Title: Truth And Consequences [Tag to "When Worlds Collide"]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] penguingal and [livejournal.com profile] schnaucl
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 8028 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: An angsty, veristic story that is crafted to illustrate the consequences of Charlie's actions in the season four finale. It's a lot of hurt, some great comfort, and not to be missed.

Truth And Consequences

Fic: Old Hurts, Nothing In Yourself, Saturation Point

In with about two hours to spare!

Title: Old Hurts
Author: [livejournal.com profile] penguingal and [livejournal.com profile] schnaucl
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, OMC
Rating: NC-17
Length: 7913 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A compelling story with an interesting OC from their past – plus I am a sucker for jealous!Charlie. Yet what I really love about this fic is how well Don is drawn. He oscillates between being a good friend, a good lover and a good brother. He's not perfect but he gets it right in the end.

Old Hurts

Title: Nothing In Yourself
Author: [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: PG-13
Length: 2142 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: A gut-twisting look at Don working without Charlie and how it affects their layered relationship. The look inside Don's head is simply amazing; he's protective and angry, loving and frustrated. Spot-on characterization and one of my favorites.

Nothing In Yourself

Title: Saturation Point
Author: [livejournal.com profile] missmollyetc
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2952 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This came up in a chat between friends because we all remember it – and can't wait to re-read it. A hair cut is never just a hair cut especially when it leads to hotter than fire kitchen table sex. This is porn but there's such great characterization and layers, it's definitely not without plot.

Saturation Point

Fic: Whatever You Need, Part Of The Cycle, Lick

Title: Whatever You Need
Author: [livejournal.com profile] spikedluv
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 4146 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Aside from it being hotter than the sun, it turns the tables on more than a few ubiquitous tropes often used in D/Ch fiction. I've read it several times now and it holds up under secondary reads because the character voices are true and the love between them is just as sexy as the porn.

A brief excerpt )

Whatever You Need


Title: Part Of The Cycle
Author: [livejournal.com profile] castalie
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2629 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Multi-layered characterizations here interspersed within the amazingly sexy porn (that is graphic but never purple). The imagery, well, it's fabulous. However, it's the pillow talk that comes after that really enchants me and keeps this one among my favorites.

A brief excerpt )

Part Of The Cycle


Title: Lick
Author: [livejournal.com profile] emmademarais
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: ±1300
Why I'm reccing this fic: The structure of the fic really works for the anticipation build, and when the porn moves past innuendo and into the physical, it may burn because it really is that sexy. Plus I am a sucker for established relationship fic where the couple tries new things because the trust is already in place.

A brief excerpt )

Brotheler AU, Numbers Running, What You Are [AU Theme]

Author: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie with Amita, David, Colby, Larry, Alan
Rating: PG - NC-17
Length: 15 one-shots | 27,000 words total
Why I'm reccing this fic: I've yet to find a story by Dira that I am not in love with but I pulled back from this because I don't care for hooker!fic. However, that's the trope – not the story. Instead, this is pitch-perfect characterization with some of the best Don/Charlie interaction I've had the pleasure to read. The weaving between pre-series and the current is incredibly well-done as are the supporting players who come alive in a new setting but the same old characters that we know and love.

A brief excerpt. )

Rating: NC-17
Length: 5,383 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I know nothing of The Sentinel other than several of my friends have been in the fandom since Caesar ruled, but this caught my eyes because Don and Charlie as bounty hunters? Intrigued. This tale begins with tragedy but it builds up itself to create a rich story of love and loss and finding love again – and holding on to it tightly.

A brief excerpt. )

Title: What You Are
Author: [livejournal.com profile] jaredsexual
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC-17
Length: 9,636 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Built upon the premise of "what if Margaret and Alan died while Don and Charlie were just reaching adulthood, how would their lives changed?" This is an AU full of twists and turns that I never would have guessed but it all works because the characterization sticks. The original characters are fresh and fun, which the Don and Charlie here seem a little surer, a little more grown up in the light of their tragedy.

A brief excerpt )
