Disclaimers can be found here.

Harry Potter

• Draco Malfoy and the Heart of Slytherin, by Saber. PG-13 (Harry/Draco but only at the end and not exactly how you'd think). Recommended by Angela.
  From Draco's point-of view, this AU has a tougher Harry and Draco becoming wizarding partners in order to take down Voldemort. Very engrossing, I loved having such a long look into Draco's psyche. Plus, as always, it is a smashing read.
  NB: More fanfic by this author can be found here and is recommended in these pages (i.e. see the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Smallville’ sections).
• Prophecies and Potions, by Angyl and Rina. NC-17 (slash, Harry/Draco). Recommended by Angela.
  Angela: It's another Draco becomes a spy for the Order story with a slight twist and lots of sex. A lot of HP stories squick me because of the youth factor but this rec can be laid at the fact that I love those girls. They write good smut. (This said with the utmost respect :-)

Jane Austen (see also here)

• Happenstance, part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, by Abby B. Rated R/NC-17ish (Darcy/Elizabeth). Recommended by Bea.
  Bea's summary: Based on the book (i.e. ‘Pride and Prejudice’) as well as, apparently, the 1995 miniseries, this fic diverges from the novel when a rumour begins whereupon Mr. Darcy is said to have compromised Elizabeth. (Of course no such thing has happened, but was merely a misunderstanding arising from them being seen together.)
• In Another's Being Mingle, by Maidenjedi. Rated G (Elinor Dashwood/Colonel Brandon). Recommended by Bea.
  Author's summary: In which Elinor Dashwood is engaged as a companion for Mrs. Jennings, and goes to Devonshire, where she has a very different fateful meeting.

  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.

Jason Bourne (films)

• Same Mistake Twice, by Irony_Rocks. Rated R (Jason Bourne/Nicky Parsons). Recommended by Bea.
  Author's summary: As efficient as he was, he was only human.
  Bea's comments: I liked this SO much more than where the 4th film in the series took things (i.e. this takes place after movie number 3 and diverges from there).
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.

Jeremiah

• A Fine Pair of Asses, by Orithain and Rina. NC-17 (slash, Jeremiah/Marcus). Recommended by Angela.
  Angela's comments: I have been giggling and mentioning this story to friends for days. This story has tons of the banter I love from the Ladies of Infinitum and some of the lines are so in tune with the characters I can just picture them saying it.
  NB: More fic by these authors can be found here and is recommended in these pages (i.e. see the crossovers section as well as the ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Stargate:Atlantis’, ‘Smallville’, and ‘Veronica Mars’ sections).
• Follow that Dream series, by Sithkitten. NC-17 (for not too graphic slash, Jeremiah/Marcus). Recommended by Angela.
  (Incomplete fic) This series covers the first few episodes of the show and integrates 'missing scene' moments with actual scenes from the show so successfully that you are drawn into the emotions and back stories of the main characters. A lovely treat.

Smallville

• Alexander the Great, by Marag and Terpsichore. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Clark stumbles across gay fiction on the 'net. The author calls himself 'Alexander the Great'. Something more than the name makes Clark suspect that the author is Lex. I like this story because it takes a different approach to getting Clark and Lex together.

• Family, Friendship, and Love, by Henry Jones Jr. Rated PG-13 for non graphic slash themes (Clark/Lex). Recommended by Angela.
  A totally lovely AU where a kid, then friendship and falling in love makes complete sense.

  NB: More fic by this author can be found here and is recommended in these pages (i.e. see the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer and ‘Harry Potter’ sections as well as the current section).

• Games series, by Orithain and Rina. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.

• Great Hunt (The), by Artemis (artemisraine). NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  It's that time of year again. Lex is on the run, and Superman is hunting him. A light, humorous romp with a secret bunker, intricate plots, and a scheming Lex who just wants to be left alone. *snort, giggle*
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.
• Horizontal part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4/final part, by Alison. NC-17 (Lois Lane/Clark Kent). Recommended by Bea.

  Clark and Lois suddenly spend a lot of...time... together. (Bea's summary)
• Identical Series, by Lanning Cook. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  (Incomplete fic) Lionel has Lex replaced with a sociopath of a clone. Currently 9 stories long (ranging from 8K to 599K) it has oodles of character and romantic development, neat original characters and a plot that won't quit.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.
  NB: PLEASE NOTE also that in order to read this fic you need to register at AO3 (free!).
• Language of Love, by dogpoet. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). AU. Recommended by Angela.
  Clark hates poetry. At least that's what he thinks.
  Angela: There have been several stories where our duo get together over poetry but this alternate universe gives another take on it that makes me sigh and smile.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here and here, and is also recommended in these pages (i.e. see the Star Trek: reboot/ 2009 movie universe).

• Lex Luthor, Ace Reporter, by Serafina. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  In an alternate universe, Lex Luthor is an investigative reporter for the Daily Planet assigned to show Clark Kent the ropes, and Lois Lane is a powerful businesswoman and old friend. I've read other AU stories before but not many have a fine touch on what would be the same and what would be different. There is an interesting sequel/prequel.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.
• The Memoirs, by Kel and Di. NC-17 (slash and het, Clark/Lex, Lionel/Dominic, Chloe/Whitney and many more). Recommended by Angela.
  (Technically incomplete fic -at more than 300 parts!)
  Angela's comments: This is not for the faint of heart. Currently at 361 parts it isn't short either. That said, it is sweet, angsty, bittersweet, silly, fun, sad, depressing, tear-inducing and much more. There are plenty of original characters and a truly unique vision of what it is to be alien. At one point I was so thoroughly addicted I was dreaming about it. I recently went back to the beginning and I was amazed at how much the characters had changed and grown. That takes skill and I certainly admire the ladies who are bringing us this adventure. (Please note that the link is to a web archive, hopefully it works!)
• One second hand spaceship, by philtre. PG (a tiny bit Clark/Lex). Recommended by Angela.
  A lot of laughs. Boys will be boys no matter their age.
• Piece of the Action, by Te. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash, Clark/Original character het). Recommended by Angela.
  What happens when Clark meets an older woman at a Metropolis party? Lots of really fun moments and hot sex.
  NB: More fanfic by this author can be found here and is recommended in this section.
• The Proposition, by Emelerin. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Someone offers Clark a million dollars to sleep with them. Bizarre romance ensues. (giggle)
• Somewhere I Have Never Travelled, by seperis (aka Jenn). NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Clark decides on a change of lifestyle. Lex decides on a change in the status quo. And the world's doomed. This story gives an alternate view on Clark's future as Superman and the powers he's been given. That plus the often bewildered reaction to Lex's behaviour makes this story fun and fascinating to read.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here, here, as well as at their livejournal (for the fic at the livejournal page, go here to use the tags marked as 'fic'), and is also recommended in this section -i.e. 'Smallville'.
• Space oddity, by FayJay. NC-17 (PWP)(Clark/Lex slash and a little Chloe). Recommended by Angela.
  I really like this story for the mental dialogue Clark has going and the hot little scene involving make-up and teenage hormones. To find out what happens next you can read the sequel, The Man who fell to Earth.
  NB: Also, more fic by this author can be found by going here.
• Spare Change, by Morgan R. PG. Recommended by Angela.
  Author's summary: Spare a dime. Spare my life. His room is spare.

• Subtext, by Te. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Angela: Lex teaches Clark about the meaning of subtext. *snort* I'll never be able to watch Lost Boys the same way again.
  NB: More fanfiction by this author can be found here. (More fic by this author is also recommended in the current/’Smallville’ section.)
• Velvet, by Amy. NC-17 (Clark Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.

  Angela: Leather and really hot sex. Told from Lex's point of view. Awesome.
  NB: More fanfiction by Te can be found here and is recommended in the current section (i.e. ‘Smallville’).
• When a Strawberry is Pushed into a Mountain, by Thamiris. NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Away at college, Clark learns to read between the lines and finds his future there. Poetry has never been so sexy.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here.
• When the Sky Falls Down, by seperis (aka Jenn). NC-17 (Clark/Lex slash). Recommended by Angela.
  Clark's pretty sure it all started when he said, yes, when Lex said, you want to go to a movie? From Clark's point of view. This strange date is at once the worst and best dates I've ever read about.
  NB: More fic by this author can be found here, here, as well as at their livejournal, and is also recommended in this section -i.e. 'Smallville'.
