Guest Recs: Angst

[mamaffy.livejournal.com]

Me again. Some recs well in time for the weekend. Next up is Gay Bar Recs.

Here are some of my favorites when it comes to angst. I am talking seriously dark, so please consider referring to the given warnings. Just fyi, I heard both podfics without warnings and I liked it that way.

1) 9:30 to Yellowknife by aerye (Vecchio/Kowalski, Kowalski/Fraser, R, ~5,200 words)
It moved me. A lot. Apart from that, I don't want to spoil. Summary of the author: Sometimes it's hard to know who you really love.

2) Executor by Kat Allison/katallison (Welsh, F/K, ~9,000 words)
Wonderful Welsh POV. He talks about the boys. The podfic can be found here: audiofic archive.

3) The End of the Road by Kat Allison/katallison (F/K, ~95,000 words)
Relationship fail of epic proportions. It's painful, realistic, and it makes far too much sense. I couldn't stop reading.

4) Photograph by Giulietta/mondschein1 (F/K, ~850 words)
It's a letter to RayK in Fraser's voice. I highly recommend the podfic: audiofic archive. She reads it herself and it's very intense (about 7 minutes long).

Note: Many other great angsty (or romantic) stories can be found in the Masterlist (Angst vs. Romance) of DS Match (2007). In case you want to know more about DS Match: Look here.
