RR -- Harlequin!
- Feb. 9th, 2009 at 8:54 AM
To help celebrate Valentine's Day (or, as I personally think of it, Half-Priced Candy Day on the 15th), we're having a Harlequin Theme Week here at ER! Since Harlequin AUs cover pretty much every one of my favorite genres (marriage of convenience! homeless fic! broken canon pairings where the bad guy is reformed! fluffy plots that would totally work as a Hollywood romantic comedy!) I'm very excited about this week in general and the recs ya'll have for us in particular. (And just *wait* till you see what
lolitakunis reccing.)
Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
That said, have at it!
Today's Topic: HARLEQUIN!

very old, but I am still loving this to bits :)
I have my theme rec journal here , though I only update once per year or so, just in case you or you co-reccers want to have a look:

for the epic ones, I even have an own entry:
long clex series/novels, that I consider to be classics

for the epic ones
http://danceswithclex.livejournal.com/10229.html?format=light
and of course, she is writing very, very long clex stories as well, she has several index fic entries on top of the LJ :)
Authors: B'Lane & Elrond.
Pairing: Whitney/Lionel. With Clark/Lex in the background. Previous Whitney/Clark mentioned.
Rating: NC-17
Set four years after the episode "Obscura", this entire story revolves around the growing relationship between Whitney Fordman and his benefactor, Lionel Luthor. Despite the fact that the sequel seems to floating in dead water, the first story between Lionel and Whitney is finished. It's well worth the read, especially since Lionel is still in character (i.e. rampaging asshole to most people) but still manages to fall in love with Whitney (despite his best efforts not to).
(Serious, does the first story stand alone and have a happy ending? If so, I really will give it a read. Thanks!)
What I Want (http://crownglass39.livejournal.com/91385.html) by
McShep (SGA)
NC-17
38,000 word
Summary: It was not some unworldly force hurtling its way to the earth that would change John Sheppard’s life forever, but one lone man, someone literally thrown at John’s feet, tossed away like yesterday’s rubbish, a man named Rodney McKay.
