So, I have absolutely no idea how my last post actually turned into a (seemingly) productive conversation - I think that's a testimate to the gentle people who commented (and not to my words).

That being said, it was a little overwhelming, and so I've been hiding in fic.  Luckily, I've had this awesome stuff to read... here they are:

War Games Kirk/Spock, Star Trek Reboot Adult by seperis 
WARNING:  this is book length.  And it's the longer second story to the original You'll Get There in the End (It Just Takes a While) .. and it's AWESOME.  It ate my entire day.  And I think much of last night.  And it ate the entire universe.  It has amazing original characters, and this beautiful relationship between Kirk & Spock, and these really beautiful artworks too, and also it was difficult and painful and exciting without being angsty or heart wrenching or trite.  Just watch out though, because it will steal your brain and your heart.  I'm almost, almost tempted to go back and reread it right now just so I can stay in that 'verse for a while longer.

Irony Spike/Xander, Btvs PG by emelye_miller
Just in case no one else saw it (ha) this cute little ditty by Em just made me grin.  Fluff, for sure, but awesome.

Walk Down Your Broken Line  Kris/Adam, AI Season *  Teen by cynnet
Cynnet's take on the 'Kris-and-Adam-get-together-story' which she says has been done 1,234,234 times already, but she still manages to do something very pretty with it, that I quite enjoyed reading.  The interaction between the two was simply lovely.

(Falling All Over You) Wanting More Kris/Adam, AI ADULT by jeyhawk
This is the only WIP I'm reading right now, basically because I got sucked in from jerakeen 's recs to one of the early episodes and couldn't frigging help myself.  Although it's explictly about boys having hot sex in public or semi-public places there's something awesome about how Jeyhawk withholds from her own characters and all I want is MORE.  And she's left it at a cliffhanger right now, and isn't going to be posting for at least a week, so, you know, she's evil and you should beware.  But its also worth it.

And did I mention the stuff at maleslashminis ?  because it's still sticking with me.
