So my first fandom has been remarkably active over the last few months while I have been experiencing some of the darker areas of Real Life. This gives me the happy!
I therefore have a positive fistful of recs so am going to keep the comments to a bare minimum in the interests of time and so I don't incite anyone reading this to violence
So on with the drive-by pimping:
RealityCheck by the demonic Dar. This is a very odd little story which it took me a couple of readings to decide whether I liked or not. Anyway, read and it see what you make of it. I like stuff which makes me prickle a bit and this one certainly did that!
Goodnight Kiss by the delicately delicious![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ddayspring which follows on from It's a date and Worst Date Ever. The author's sparky dialogue always gets me every time and the genuine love of the characters shines through all the banter. Yum. Now if we can all persuade her to finish Into Darkness Peering I shall be a happy Evil Dr Em
The Five Ways Methos Died by the lemon tastinglannamichaels Just Guh! *spangles*
Coincident and Communion by the cherry glazed Cinel Durant who continues to woo me with her beautiful creations. Coincident is sharp edged brittle and loving piece, while Communion is blood tinged, achy and Methos to a perfection.
Triggers by the ever edibleelistaire is forensically exacting in it's description of the perils of Immortal memory. I loved it.
As All Light Fades by Jeanine is a heart breaking bit of Methos angst and torture. Her descriptive evoking of the raw pain of loss has to be read to be believed.
The kaluha soakedkaiz is a fic tease extraordinaire. She gifts us with several luscious snippets, all of which make me sob for MORE
an HL/SG1 snippet
More Darius/Kronos and a Kronos/Methos snippet
June Advances and Summer Heat by the toffee sprinkled Tessa Rae. These two delights are the last two episodes of her Casual Acquaintance series which I have enjoyed the hell out of. Erotic, funny and more realistic then most. Tessa is always a joy to read and rec.
What Is by the strawberry smotheredsapphiresmuse which made me cry. Alot. I think I may just about have forgiven the author..
War Dance which is the much awaited Chapter 6 of the sherry brushed Sharon Cross's WIP Songs of The Flesh. I really do want to have hot monkey sex with Jolene! Do you think if I'm good Sharon will let me?
That's all the for the moment and I would also like to point you in the direction of the excellenthl_springfever challenge which has some fantastic stories listed as well as the fact that the Highlander Lyric Wheel has spun again and there are some fabulous stories there as well. I shall rec my particular faves in another post.
Enjoy and don't forget to feedback the authors!

It ends badly, I think. It's rather clumsily written, though I didn't guess what the twist was going to be, but having established the twist, I think it ought to have ended there, rather than struggling on.

Strawberry Smothered
You know, I'm going to stop apologizing for making folks cry and 'fess up: I set out to make you all cry. I wanted you to cry. I wanted that reaction out of you all! The fic is supposed to hurt. I am evil. Burn me at the stake. ;) Basically, I'm just a writer that loves to wring emotional reactions out of her readers and "What Is" is destined to get strong reactions.
Thank you for the rec. Since I consider myself low profile in the HL community, it's always a delight to actually be recommended by someone.
But I have to ask: strawberry smothered? I mean, just 'cause I have a flat of fresh strawberries in the fridge. . . . and a Methos Muse who is muttering something about being allergic to strawberries being rubbed all over him . . . . say, that wouldn't qualify as a kink, would it . . . hmmm . . . ;)

BABE!
Welcome to LJ :)
I shall go check the stories out immediately!

Interesting
I'm all for stories which get a reaction and that one I still can't quite make my mind up about. I think your possibly right about the ending although I'm impressed with what Dar is writing generally and I think it will be interesting to watch that writing develop :)

Re: Strawberry Smothered
You should not apologise for making people cry darling, unless of course that isn't what you set out to do when you were writing the story! *grins*
You know I like your writing, and as for low profile, I am of the opinion its possibly better to stay that way. That way the people who like your writing read it and the lunatics stay away :)
Strawberrys and Methos..yum, nice combination.So you gonna write it!?
