lobelia321Stories that I have read recently and liked a lot:
Siren, by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gabbyhope.
Dombilly. Simply and superbly stunning. It meanders and flows and it is one of the best uses of pure metaphor I have read. This is now my favourite by Gabby Hope. It resonates for a long time.
In the Name of Research, byazewewish.
God, I love this fic. Somehow, when Brenda gets her writing claws into Harry/Karl, sparks fly. This is all about the dialogue and it is brilliantly funny and subversive.
Crimson, byviva_gloria.
Potc fps: Barbossa/ Sparrow. This is stunning. It is the best fic I have ever read by Gloria. It is plotted nigh perfectly, and has brilliantly convincing voices for both Barbossa and Sparrow. It's still lingering in my mind.
Snooping, bycupiscent.
Lovely, lovely Dorli. Features Keira as voyeuse. This is beautifully written and beautifully imagined. Sort of soft.
Wipeout, bysagralisse.
Viggo/Karl. Extraordinary tight control of bdsm'ish activities, and somehow lean'n'mean and sweet all at the same time. Very sexy. (But I do like the old bdsm...)
Reading Glasses, bycimorene111.
And here I was thinking only Brenda could do really good manly domestic fic. But no, Cimorene has written this, and it's simply lovely.
What you get, bysupacat.
Viggorli. I don't like Viggorli but I like this fic. Very, very real and also a bit unusual.
Turning Forty, bycrazybutsound.
A not-run-of-the-mill Dombilly. Real and melancholy.
untitled non-fandom slash, bypiran.
I was drawn into this. Tight and evocative and full of allusion.

plus some I nominated in my Nominations post but just want to rec them here again
Viridian, Vermilion, Alizaria. bynovanumbernine.
Wingfic. Amazing. Beautiful prose. I nominated this in my Nominations post but here I rec it again.
Ditto Geometry, bynovanumbernine.
Creeps up on you. Perfect characterisation.
Ditto. Illing, byhetrez.
Amazing experimental prose that *works*. It is Orlijah but don't let that put you off!
Ditto, Gym Buddies, bywoodcliff.
Sweet and a hoot and what prose control!
