Giant humongous LOTRIPS recs posting - MSilverstar - Lotripper

I've been putting my recs in my del.icio.us/msilverstar account, and wrote a script to extract them. Here are a bunch that I have liked, from February to now. Some of them were posted several years ago, some this month.

FYI, I put the point-of-view character first in the pairing, just my quirk. I'm also relatively liberal in ratings, if the author hasn't rated a fic; I don't think that sex is something to hide from teenagers -- this is the good porn, after all.

It's not all the good fic out there by any means -- some fic I just lose track of, some is in tabs and I keep meaning to get back to it, some fic is so good I have a hard time describing it delicious's limited space. Which is to say: more recs to come.

To get them as I post them, use del.icio.us (where you can click on pairing tags, date, rating, etc.) or subscribe to msil_fanfic_rec. I've also been reccing the odd fic in Doctor Who, Torchwood, Heros, HP and even a bandslash fic.

Genfic

"The Luckiest Dog in the World" by pecos (Sidi, Orlando, etc.)
Dog's-eye-view of Orlando's life, charmingly told. Almost too damn cute, but not quite --- and Orlando seems to love his dog in RL as much as in this story. rating-R, posted 2007

"Variations" by escribo (Dom)
Set in early 2007, a ficlet in which Dom considers transitions -- meditative and nice. rating-G, posted 2007 July

"SAFETY DANCE -- Men Without Hobbit Feet" (series, WIP), by pecos (Sean Astin + cast)
The not-so-secret diaries of Sean Astin during principal filming in New Zealand, in all their farcical glory, but written with affection. posted 2007, rating-G

"between friends", by almostnever (Dom, Orlando, Billy, Elijah)
In New Zealand, right after Stuart's sent away, Orlando's just pushing and pushing, annoying but probably not malicious, until Dom just loses it. Short (I wish it were longer). rating-PG, posted 2007 March


Rare Pairings

"Unimaginable", by cantitellgoober (Orlando/Billy)
PWP, pure smut ficlet with Billy on top and Orlando begging. Mmmmm. Warning for Billy written in dialect and the odd epithet. rating-nc-17, posted 2007 April

"Petals and Beestings", by suede_scripture (Billy/Orlando)
Set just after the Beecake concert in LA, Billy has prickly feelings about Orlando upstaging him; Orlando thinks he could never be as sexy as Billy. A blowjob helps patch things together. Excellent fic, recommended. rating-R, posted 2007 March

"[crack!cosmetic!fic!]", by morebliss (dom/orlando)
Orlando has some lipstick that Dom wants, and the deal is sealed with sparkly fingernail polish. Set in New Zealand, short and fun. rating-G, posted 2007 May

"Shorts", by idrillia (Elijah/Sean Bean)
What's hot in this fic is not just what happens (and could Elijah in lingerie posing for Bean ever be a bad thing?) but even more, how the characters feel about it. rating-nc-17, posted 2007 May-July

"Staring", by sunsetmog-fics (Billy/Sean Bean)
Delightful ficlet in which Billy finds his credulity strained to the breaking point, but Sean's tired of being stared at. posted 2004, rating-PG-13

"Every Nerve Like A Firefly 2: Our Secret Theme" (series, WIP), by kiltsandlollies and almaviva (Dom/Ian, Dom/Billy mentioned)

"A New Path" (AU, series, unfinished), (Elijah/Viggo)
Lovely historical romance set in Medieval York. Eliyahu is a leatherworker from a Jewish family, Viggo is a wandering soldier who falls in love with him. Definitely an OTP series, but there are enough delightful details to make the story work. rating-NC-17, posted 2007 Feb

"Five Kisses", by Haleth (Ian McKellan/Orlando)
An unconventional pairing, but it works in this story. Nice slow build up, Ian dithering a bit about taking advantage, and then Orlando taking things in hand, as it were. posted 2004, rating-nc-17

"Lines of Lightning" (series) by sunsetmog (Billy/Sean Astin)

"Fragile stuff and sacred things", by afra_schatz (various)
Brad Pitt's internal monologue on the interesting sexual tensions on the Troy film set among Orlando, Eric Bana and Sean Bean. Great Brad voice, to the point where it's really quite crack fic. rating-R, posted 2007 May

"Sharing" (AU) by kyuuketsukirui (Hannah/Dom/Elijah -incest warning)
