Star Wars:
* "Just This Once" by Julia Banes. Pairing: Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon. He felt as though he'd been put through the 'wringer'. His emotions were clouded, his mind was chaotic, he'd closed himself off from Obi-Wan, who hadn't even noticed that Qui-Gon had done so, and to top it all off, he hadn't slept in a few days. He wasn't sure what was worse: the fact that Obi-Wan hadn't noticed that he'd cut his own Apprentice off mentally, or that he was exhausted, which was not good for his patience. (7 pages)
* "The Midas Touch" by Starkiller and Vayshti. Pairing: Anakin/C3P0. See-Threepio was where he had left him, shut down in the garage area. Anakin activated the single light and scowled as he padded silently towards the somnolent droid. "'I am only doing this because Obi-Wan is jealous of me. He wants what I've got. I'm going to parade you in front of him, my flashy gold pal," thought Anakin, smirking once again. The thought of a jealous Obi-Wan was like an elixir, and added to the surging adrenaline, the teen found himself in a state of heightened arousal. (3 pages)
Harry Potter:
* "Drive" by Libertine. Pairing: Ginny/Pansy. Ginny understands Pansy's body, too. Or has learnt to over time. She's learnt that they aren't so different, really, in spite of her freckles and Pansy's paleness, her red hair (down there, too) and Pansy's blonde fluff. What makes Pansy cry is exactly the same as what makes Ginny cry: a tongue and lips under the blankets, and a finger, sometimes, curling. (5 pages) (author's website)
* "Cold Hands" by Ivy Blossom. Pairing: Harry/Draco. Draco held Harry's hands, rubbing them between his own, and then leaned forward, his breath in a hot pulse against his skin. For a moment Harry was surprised at the thought. He wants me to kiss him, he realized. I think that's okay. (4 pages)
* "Draco's Inferno: Lost Fragments from the Boat of a Million Years" by Starkiller. Pairing: Harry/Draco. He never finished his sentence, for Draco had shifted down the bed and taken Harry's cock in his mouth. His tongue teased the slit, even as his lips slid down the head, slowly inching down the shaft, each moment an exercise in exquisite torture. (4 pages)
* "I Would Never Leave You, Ever" by Zed Adams. Pairing: Harry/Draco. I remembered the laughter we shared. The hatred, the love, the anger, the passion. We had never told each other, but we each know deep down our mutual love went beyond mere words. (7 pages) (author's website)
* "Synthetic" by Tzigane. Pairings: Harry/Draco, Draco/Lucius implied, Harry/Vernon implied. What I do remember is the sight of peaches and cream skin turned ashen white, paler even than the infirmary sheets upon which he lay, so very pallid that even his bruises didn't seem visible. (9 pages)
* "Sweetest Coma Again" by ElsewhereCW. Pairing: Harry/Draco. "You're precious to me," Harry whispered, placing a hand gently against Draco's heart, palm down, feeling the steady beat against his palm. He closed his eyes, letting it relax him. "These moments…you don't know…" (9 pages) (author's website)
* "Now and Forever" by Julia Banes. Pairing: OFC/OFC. Jade turned to Hayley, only to see the other girl moving towards her, the intent clear in her eyes, causing Jade to catch her breath. "It's okay, we need to go get ready... they'll be here soon," Jade said. (6 pages)
* "Pain is Pleasure" by Kebi. Pairing: Harry/Tom Riddle. The memory that sustains nothing but adds to his madness has now materialized into a pale ivory shadow. Lust and love are laced throughout the room. The lips covered in shards of steel caressed the boy in love's again. (2 pages) (author's website)
* Years Trilogy by unknown author. Pairing Harry/Draco (2 pages)
* Sadness. Pairing Draco/Snape, Ron/Seamus, Harry/Snape implied (2 pages)
Forever Knight:
* "A Little Night Music" by Mom Ra. Pairing: LaCroix/Nick, Nick/OMC. "Don't be like that." Nicholas said softly, "If you didn't want me to make love to you, you never would have come here." He continued his exploration of the pretty clothes, and the warm, surprisingly firm body beneath them. He trailed his fingers along Abelard's arm, from his wrist to his shoulder and toyed with the ends of his lace cravat. When Nicholas unfastened a second button on his waistcoat, Abelard insisted that he stop at once.
Babylon 5:
* "May The Comet Bring You Wisdom" by Starkiller. Pairing: Sheridan/Garibaldi. His lover submitted to him with the sweet wholeheartedness that always made Garibaldi's heart ache. "You make me hurt, John," he whispered into Sheridan's eager mouth. "You make me hurt a LOT." He caressed John's chest through his slate grey shirt, gently undoing buttons and pushing the fabric aside so that he could caress the chest of the man beneath him. (14 pages)
* "The Martian Affair" by Minnie. Pairing: Marcus/Franklin. Marcus noted somewhat surprised that Stephen was quite buff, though you would never know it just by looking at him. Not that he looked bad…just ordinary. In fact, he looked good. Brown, muscular and trim, Marcus also noted a distinct lack of body hair. That didn't surprise him really. Stephen was fastidiously clean and worried about his appearance. (7 pages) (author's website)
* "Summertime" by Starkiller and Mistress Darke Shadow. Pairing: Sheridan/Garibaldi. The fragments, the pieces, the ashes and dust slowly reformed to become whole, merging together so slowly, almost like the faint stirrings of hope he felt at the words. Could there be mutuality in this after all? Could it possibly be that what he thought was unrequited was exactly the opposite? Could sunny daydreams really come true? (3 pages)
* "Unexpected Insight" by Jai. Pairing: Gideon/Galen. Later, in the evening, the technomage, Galen, sat in his flyer inside the docking bay of the Excalibur. A glowing green orb floated before him, colours swirling into an orange-hued red as Galen stared intently at the object. "I see...this should prove interesting," he whispered into the darkness. (3 pages)
Lord of the Rings:
* "White Silk and Pink Lace" by SkyFire. Pairing: Elrond/Glorfindel. "I am *never* eating a big meal directly before bedtime again!" he swore. If those were the kinds of nightmares doing so brought...! (3 pages)
* "Lament of the Dead" by Silverthorn. Pairing: Boromir/Aragorn. When he takes me, there is no pain, for which I am grateful, but in this never-never land betwixt the living and the dead, this unreal plane of existence in which we spend this small time together, I do not question such things. I move beneath him as his body moves on top of me, as he kisses me, roughly, urgently. I hold him as tightly as I can, and when there is release, it is exquisite to the point of pain. (4 pages)
* "In the Spring" by SkyFire. Pairing: Glorfindel/Bill the Pony. He blinked in disbelief, watched in mute shock as Glorfindel's pursuer came into his study by way of the balcony. He shook his head, looked again. The vision was the same. Bill the Pony stood there, haloed in the afternoon light, his shadow cast long upon the floor. (3 pages)
Weiss Kreuz:
* "Lost Scene from 'Pretty Pretty Boy'" by Tzigane. Pairing: Brad/Nagi. "Stop it!" The sound of his whisper seemed hoarse, blue eyes opening impossibly wide. "Bra-mmmph!" The feel of those lips, soft against his own yet strangely possessive, and the kiss itself so *hard* compared to the touch of his mouth, made Nagi tremble, the feel of Crawford's arms an iron band around the slim length of him. (3 pages)
