china_shop is holding a Fandom Appreciation Challenge this week. Every day there is a different task. Visit her LJ to check it out. Today's challenge is to rec 3 fics that are at least 6 months old.

Fic: Chinese Food
Autor:

testdog65
Fandom and Paring: QAF Brian/Justin
Why: This fic was written for the Icon with a Twist Challenge at

qaf_challenges.

testdog65 has an incredible writing style. She writes some of the most intensely visual sex scenes. But there really isn't a lot of sex in this fic. What you have is wonderfully in character humor with a fabulous, unexpected emotional punch at the end.

Fic: No More Than reason
Author:

mosca
Fandom and Pairing: Figure Skating RPF Johnny Weir/Ben Agosto
Why:

mosca can make you believe in any pairing. She blends humor with very real emotion perfectly. her dialogue is incredible. She routinely breaks my heart in the best possible way. From the moment I read her first Johnny/Ben story, I was hopelessly hooked on this pairing. This particular fic is a wonderful look at unexpected possibilities.

mosca is an incredible multi-fandom writer. Even if you don't read this story, go to her LJ for her fic index. She has written in over 40 fandoms and also writes femslash.

The last rec is from Due South. Due South is the fandom I have in common with

china_shop so I wanted to included it here. I lurk 99% of the time in Due South, but maybe this challenge will change that.

Fic: A Passing Feeling
Author: Zillah I am fairly certain Zillah has an LJ, but I don't know it.
Fandom and Paring: Due South Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Why: This is one of my all time favorite comfort fics. I read it a lot. It might seem strange to call it a comfort fic because I cry every time I read, but since the premise revolves around the funeral of one of the main character's mother, I think a few tears are too be expect. To me this story is all about love and emotional honesty. I can't recommend it enough.
