Title: Something Unexpected
Author: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) vr2lbast
Series: Weiss Kreuz (Side B) Summary: After a difficult mission, Aya and Ken's relationship reaches a turning point. Commentary:
Extract:
"Is the mission bothering you?"
Ken allowed the silence to stretch out for as long as he could before nodding slightly. "I guess," he said, although he didn't turn away from his vigil.
"You did a good job," Aya told him. "A bit dramatic maybe, and a bit risky, facing O'Brien alone, but you did well. I wasn't sure you would, you never were the planning type."
"Hey," Ken said, watching the darkness. "Gotta grow up sometime, right?"
"I didn't mean it that way," Aya said, although, he supposed, he did.

Title: Appearances
Author: Misura
Series: sCRYed Summary: Kimishima sells Kazuma on their latest caper. Commentary: Extract:
So what if the guy was a fruitcake? He was /Kimishima's/ fruitcake, with a reputation that had people quaking in their boots, a tendency to solve problems by beating them up and a thousand-and-one fun ideas for things to do when bored or unable to sleep.

Title: Overboard
Author: X-Parrot
Series: One Piece Summary: A typhoon hits the Going Merry's crew harder than any of them could anticipate or accept. Commentary: Extract:
Luffy was almost never there when he revived from an injury; Luffy trusted him to survive a fight intact. But there would always be the knowledge that he had been around, a lingering sense memory when he awoke, of his captain's voice needling a doctor or teasing him, or the odd weight of his silent observation. But when Zoro cast his mind back now, to last night's haze and darkness, there was nothing. And Nami held a battered, round straw hat, crumpling the brim in her tight grip.

Title: Riding with James Dean
Author: Audrey Broshuis
Series: Highlander Summary: After the events of "Something Wicked", a disillusioned Richie heads to New Orleans and must come to terms with who he wants to be without MacLeod's guiding influence. Commentary: Extract:
The clerk at the dump didn't even blink when Richie walked in, carrying an unconscious girl over his shoulder. [...] "She's my sister," Richie said, tossing a crumpled one hundred dollar bill on the counter. "If you say so." Al slid a key over to him. "You ain't gonna make me regret this, are ya, kid?" Richie grinned innocently. "Al, I'm wounded. I just want a room for my baby sister." "So what's her name?" Al asked, opening the register book. "Hell if I know."

Title: (Untitled?)
Author: hms_fruitpies
Series: Fantastic Four & Spiderman Summary: Johnny reflects on his current relationship vs. those he's had in the past. Commentary:
Extract:
In Johnny’s mind, girls basically came in one version, with interesting variations. He chased them, smiled his most winning smile and did the cigarette-lighter trick with his thumb and then they let him sleep with them. He then spent the next week trying to shake them off. Not that he didn’t enjoy that too, on a boring day his voicemail was pure comedy gold. Sue rolled her eyes at him a lot when he played them.

Angst isn't exactly what you think of from a Ken/Omi story, but here are two very un-fluffy looks at Ken & Omi at two very different places in their relationship.
+++ -------------------- +++
Title: Afterglow
Author: Klayter McCabe
Series: Weiss Kreuz
Summary: A melancholy Ken reflects in the afterglow. Or aftermath. Whichever happens to be more appropriate.
Commentary:
Extract: Sex that had started out as, well… Something like a thank-you, and an expression of affection, and something that had just happened, because they were young, and it felt good, and it was worth repeating. And sex that had accidentally, somewhere along the line, become a milestone. At first just for Omi, because he’d never actually done this before. And then for Ken, because it had never meant so much before. And now for both of them, and here they were, not saying anything and not looking at each other. +++ -------------------- +++ Title: The Homecoming Author: s1ncer1ty Series: Weiss Kreuz Summary: It was their night, and tonight, like always, Omi would keep his promise. As much as he dreaded it, obligation dictated that he stay the night with Ken, before Weiss' last mission separated their paths of life forever. Commentary:
Extract: "Do you remember what we used to do on nights before a mission?" Omi asked softly, setting the glass of water to the side of the couch. Ken had no end-table, or anyplace else nearby to set his drink.
"Yeah," Ken said, a small, smirking grin playing at the corners of his lips. "We'd play video games and then make out. There ain't a game console here, so you want to just skip to the making out?"

itle: Wisdom of Snow
Author: Tenshi
Series: Suikoden
Summary: Post-Suikoden 1, on a cold Yule night, Flik has a chance to mourn and Viktor is there to help.
Commentary:
Extract:
Great guy, Flik was. Viktor had always thought so, long before they were stuck in a burning castle and Flik took up arrow-blocking for team McDohl as a new hobby. But pride would kill the man long before a blade broke his defenses, and Viktor couldn't let that happen.
He had more than a few promises to keep concerning Flik.

Title: (Untitled)
Author: Aviy
Series: Suikoden
Summary: I would tell you the story of how Viktor nearly got Flik killed in the badlands and was subsequently forced to save his life, but Flik has sworn me to secrecy.
Commentary:
Extract:
"How'd you know?"
Viktor laughed, the sound made hoarse by his own exhaustian combined with the considerable weight he was carrying. "'Cause this is the fifth time tonight we've had this conversation." Flik thought about that. "Really?" "Yeah. Though you must be feeling better-" "No, I'm not." "-'cause you usually pass out by now."

Title: Crossroad Dirt
Author: Killa
Series: Supernatural
Summary: A post-Devil's Trap might-have-been, in which the price Sam must pay for his gifts comes due. Sam, Dean, and John.
Commentary: Extract:
"Where's the Colt?" Sam glanced over, meeting his eyes, then looked away. "I've still got it." There was another silence, harder than the last, and John's hands twitched with the urge to make demands. As if sensing his scrutiny, Sam turned to meet his gaze head on and withstood it in defiant silence, challenging him to argue. No part of that look was suspicion, and John knew, they both knew, the demon wasn't in the room with them. But it was suddenly between them, inescapable, that Dean had paid a high price to keep that gun out of John's hands, and Sam wasn't about to let it go easily.

Title: Until Tomorrow Then
Author: Arislanchan (friends-locked, but scroll down for her fic)
Series: Gankutsuou
Summary: Wine isn't necessarily as unpleasant as Franz thinks.
Commentary:
Extract:
“[...] You’re coming, right?”
Franz would remember that moment for a long time - Albert, so close, gazing at him expectantly (it had barely been a question, after all) olive skin slightly sticky with sweat in the heat, and the lazy afternoon sun falling down across dishevelled brown hair.
“Yeah.” It was amazing, really - one word in response, and Albert was grinning in triumph, visibly delighted.
And of course Franz would never tell him, but really, being able to see that was all that mattered.

Title: Bed of Roses
Author: Mirror Dance
Series: Weiss Kreuz (Kapitel-ish)
Summary:After two years of semi-retirement from Kritiker, Ran and Yoji return to action when they discover the new target is a murderous, out-of-control Siberian.
Commentary:
Extract:
“Why don’t you all just quit,” Siberian drawled, pulling his hand out of another dead body, his shaking legs allowing the force to break his balance slightly, such that he had to brace one hand along the wall of the building’s corridor to steady himself.
“Your boss’s goddamn guts are all over my fucking hand already!” he screamed, “No one’s going to get paid anymore!”

These are fanworks I *wish* I could rec, but I can't seem to find much work for them. I get fairly specific cravings sometimes, and thought I'd put this here, in case anyone browses by with recs for the stories I seek. :)

I thought I'd lead things off with a quick inventory of fandoms that I'm gung-ho on right now, for easy reference of what to expect. (See the profile page for more general info.) Recs won't be limited to these, but it's a good start.
