Open Rec Week is over! Thanks so much to everyone who rec’d this week.

This week’s theme is: Introduction to Numb3rs: FanFic

What are the three pieces of fanfic you’d choose to show to someone new to Numb3rs, and why? Don’t worry if other folk have chosen some or all of the same pieces, because we will probably all have our own reasons for including them, and your reason might be the one that tips the scale for someone! *g*

You have until midnight (wherever you are *g*) Sunday, October 12 to post your recs here!

Remember that all types of recs are welcome here, whether gen, het or slash, [as are all genres, from angst to romance to case-related]. If you're unsure how to structure your recs, please check out the rules on the community profile.

FIC: A Nice Day Out

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:29:02 GMT

Well, it starts off as a vacation fic! Poor Donny.

Title: A Nice Day Out
Author: ALEO
Pairing/Characters: Don, Charlie
Rating: T
Length: 11,178 words (4 chapters)
Summary: It was just going to be a nice day out on a boat helping his brother on a math project. At least that's how it started...
Note: This fic has a sequel of sorts (in the sense that some of the characters are the same) called Speared
Why I'm reccing this fic: ALEO writes wonderful Don angst and this fic is no exception.

Don had cleared up a case a few days ago and completed all the paperwork yesterday. He had granted himself a rare day off. Dinner at Charlie’s last night had resulted in him being pounced on and invited out to sea today. He’d initially resisted the idea but then decided, why not? A day off should be a day off and if he was at sea he couldn’t be called in. Besides, it had been some time since he’d been on a boat and he admitted to himself that he had been looking at the boats in the marina in longing last time he’d driven past.

&

Drug runners. Worse, drug runners who were arguing about doing something involving the Coast Guard. That couldn’t be good.

Don started to turn to go back down the corridor, intending to head towards his cabin and his gun. There was also an internal phone he could use to call Lieutenant Dylan and have her break out some handguns and send some men down to back him up. Or rather, he’d back them up, it was Dylan’s boat and she had jurisdiction.

The Seahawk took that moment to drop into another ‘pothole’. But this trough was accompanied by a steeper wall of water on the exit. The Seahawk staggered as her bow dug in before she stated to rise and corkscrewed. Don unbalanced in mid-turn, lost his footing, bounced off the wall and fell forwards to the hit the deck a few feet from the cabin door. The door to the three berth cabin flew open at the same time; obviously it hadn’t been secured on the latch properly. The three men gaped at the eavesdropper as the agent tried to scramble to his feet, oh shit.

Against the three of them in the confined space Don didn’t stand a chance. They were on him before he could get fully upright smashing him back to the carpeted deck. He landed a few good hits but they got some in of their own. After a solid blow that split his lower lip and had him seeing a few stars the men backed off. As his vision cleared he saw why, one man had produced a large automatic pistol. It was pointed as steadily at him as the conditions allowed. He stopped moving, sitting braced against the corridor wall as he wondered what they were going to do next.

“Hello, FBI.” The one with the gun said. His was the third voice.

“I don’t suppose you’d hand that over if I told you ‘you’re under arrest’?” Don asked hopefully, rubbing his sore jaw.

“Hah!” The man was amused but sobered immediately, gesturing with the gun towards the cabin. “Move.”

A Nice Day Out

Rec: Day Off (Fic), A Day at the Beach (Wallpaper)

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:15:42 GMT

Title: Day Off
Author: julietm
Pairing/Characters: Colby
Rating: PG
Length: ~1400
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was a favorite fic from the Day Off challenge hosted at savecolby in July. There are others I'll rec but they are multipart and it will take me a bit to get them together. This fic in particular though seemed to really capture what Colby would actually do on his day off... and the imagery contained within definitely makes it worth the read. Yum yum.

FIC: Once in a Blue Moon (Hotel), One For the Road, Vacation

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:42:52 GMT

Title: Once in a Blue Moon (Hotel)
Author: cpwatcher
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: NC17
Length: Longish
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it’s sweet and romantic.
A brief excerpt: Don watches as surprise, shock and then exuberance crosses Charlie’s expressive face. The way his brother’s eyes lit up and the smile spread across his face makes all the contortions Don went through to get out to New York worth every minute.

Once in a Blue Moon (Hotel)

Title: One For the Road
Author: iscaris
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie, Don/Coop
Rating: NC17
Length: ~12,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
A brief excerpt: After his mom’s death, Don starts checking for job opportunities in other FBI offices. There’s no lack of options, especially for someone with his field experience; but none of the places appeal to him, and after two months Don finally shelves the idea. He doesn’t understand the inertia, the same way he’s not sure exactly when Charlie becomes a part of his life.

One For the Road part one and part two

Title: Vacation
Author: penguingal
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: R
Length: Shortish
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because the boys are so perfectly them. And it’s sweet. *g*
A brief excerpt: "I know all about want..." he pushed aside Charlie's curls to plant a kiss at the nape of his neck, "and compulsion." Don's tongue licked at the salt that had settled on Charlie's skin. "I know what it's like to give in to something that you know you shouldn't be doing, but if you don't it'll just eat away at you bit by bit." Don's teeth sank gently into the skin at Charlie's shoulder, making him gasp. "I know all about that..."

Fic: Kitchen Interlude

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:11:13 GMT

Title: Kitchen Interlude
Author: castalie
Pairing/Characters: Don/Charlie
Rating: R
Length: ~965 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love how much Don needs to assure himself that Charlie is all right, and how, in that moment, it doesn’t matter that either Alan or David could walk in and catch them.
A brief excerpt: His hand, that was now playing with a curl, tightened painfully in Charlie's hair. Charlie didn't protest though; he just opened his eyes and stared at him, expectantly. What he expected, exactly, Don couldn't say. Charlie was like an open book, except when he wasn't.

Fic: Gay Chicken, Man Hunt, This is your 3 AM break

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:33:20 GMT

(3 Coop fics cause I forgot to recc them during Billy Coop week)

Title: Man Hunt
Author: amoral-angel
Pairing/Characters: Coop/Don
Rating: NC17
Length: Part 1 , Part 2 , part 3 , part 4 , part 5 , part 6
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love that it is Coop's POV, I love the grittiness of it and also the humor. It also has layers of sweetness, sadness and h0tness that I can't resisit. And plus, it was written for me : )

For one thing – he was a loner, too. Not exactly a partnership made in heaven, if you know what I mean. I liked working by myself because it meant I didn’t have to explain my every movement or justify my actions when I was working. I just thought up a plan of attack and went for it. This guy worked the same way, and in a partnership – whether we liked it or not – you can’t operate that way. Someone’s bound to get hurt.

Man Hunt

Title: This is your 3 AM break
Author: neur0vanity
Pairing/Characters: Don/Coop

Why I'm reccing this fic: The banter between wound up Eppes and laid back Coop never ceases to crack me up.

Fic Rec: After the Case (Colby/OFC-Callie, NC-17)

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:47:22 GMT

Title: After the Case
Author: Tina, aka julietm
Pairing/Characters: Colby/OFC-Callie (yes, OFC-Callie is mine... but I let Tina borrow her for Colby's pleasure. hehe.)
Rating: NC-17
Length: 935 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This surely sounds like favoritism... but Miss Tina rarely shares her fic and she's never shared her NC-17 stuff. This fic was written for me as a reward for losing five pounds, and she posted it for the August n3_challenge. I know I'm partial, but the damn thing is HAWT even if it might not be the type of pr0n you're used to. Give it a read... and maybe she'll post more of the NC-17 goodness. MWAHAHA.
