Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #5)

“The ruthless and brilliant brother Vishous possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time-until a destiny he didn’t choose takes him into a future that does not include her…”

So remember how...

Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood #4)

And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world. He’s got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who’s way out of his league. If he can’t have Marissa, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers….

FF: Broken Open

Title: Broken Open

Author:fallendown

Universe: Queer as Folk (US)

Pairing: Brian/Emmett

Summary: “Brian and Emmett from 3:14.”

So I love Emmett, but hate Emmett. I like that he has this power behind his views because he has owned himself and his past. I also love Brian, but hate Brian. I love how broken he is, but he is the reason I can’t go into The City. So combining Emmett’s power and Brian’s broken ego you get a lot of angst.

This fic is pretty much a retelling of a scene that I didn’t really c...

Angel Dust Apocalypse

“Meth-heads, man-made monsters, and murderous Neo-Nazis. Blissed out club kids dying at the speed of sound. The un-dead and the very soon-to-be-dead. They’re all here, trying to claw their way free.

From the radioactive streets of a war-scarred future, where the nuclear bombs have become self-aware, to the fallow fields of Nebraska where the kids are mainlining lightning bugs, this is a world both alien and intensely human. This is a place where self-discovery involves scalpels and horse tranq...

FF: The Upside of Miscommunication

Title: The Upside of Miscommunication

Author: EmeryFelton

Universe: Queer as Folk (US)

Pairing: Brain/Justin

Summary: “Brian has had a bad day at work and plans on unwinding by going to Woody’s and Babylon with his friends and his Sunshine, only to have his plans dashed when he comes home to find quite the surprise.”

So this FF was pretty funny. I was really hoping it was about Brain coming home to Justin being topped by Emmett (who cannonlyis a pretty dominant top at times). However, it wasn’t qu...

Swamplandia!

“Thirteen-year-old Ava Bigtree has lived her entire life at Swamplandia!, her family’s island home and gator-wrestling theme park in the Florida Everglades. But when illness fells Ava’s mother, the park’s indomitable headliner, the family is plunged into chaos; her father withdraws, her sister falls in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, defects to a rival park called The World of Darkness. As Ava sets out on a mission through the magical...

FF: Lesbian Solution to Sex-Starved Women in Prison

Title: Lesbian Solution to Sex-Starved Women in Prison

Author: Mr.Marr

Universe: Bad Girls

Pairing: Julie S./Julie J.

Summary: “The Julies find out how they can receive their sexual feelings in prison. The solution was right under their noses. But does it work out?”

So this was probably the worst FF I have read since The Magic School Bus ones I read when I first started reviewing FF. This was pointless, completely out of character for the characters, and just so badly written.

So, my biggest issue...
