Strange facts

Did you know that the British Museum and British Library have some of the biggest collections of smut in the world? I'll have to make up an excuse to see some of this the next time I visit. *dryly*

And now for some recs...

Harry Potter
An Unexpected Outing by unknown (Hooch/McG)
Inappropriate Behaviour for the Workplace by unknown (HG/PP, PP/MB)

Legend of the Seeker
Honesty, Away, Primary (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19), Cold (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (WIP)) by seven_3_oh (Cara/Kahlan; warning: BDSM)
"Richard and crew decide to celebrate a victory over the Sisters of the Light with a good tavern meal, but Cara has other ideas about celebrating. Kahlan doesn't think it's healthy." seven_3_oh manages to combine book lore and TV cannon to forge a realistic chance for Kahlan to see how Cara cares for her. This is a mutual, slow and steady build-up where the author doesn't rely on cheap plot devices like a potion or some spell to create that opportunity. What's admirable is that most of the main characters in this series stay true to their characters until about halfway through "Primary;" from then on, Richard and Zedd might be considered OOC as the author pushes cannon aside in the quest to push Kahlan and Cara together. This series bears a surprisingly intricate plot and some nice action. This series even stays true to the TV series in the sense that you still see the humanity that underlies the actions of the various characters. That humanity has a tinge of darkness, but you will recognize it all the same.

FYI, I had no idea about LotS until femslash fandom exploded last week with searing hot pictures of two women in leather kissing (Cara / Dahlia) and funny screen shots of what looked like weird dildo-esque weapons (the Agiels). This led to an episode watching marathon session for the better part of a week in a bid to catch up. leavethesky also has some recs from this admittedly cheesy action/adventure/fantasy genre. Cara seems to be a favorite character to femslash because she's bi in TV cannon. The Cara/Kahlan plot was even addressed in an actual tvguide.com interview! lol

RPF
Um, since I have this genre now and all...(after the zombie post), I might as well add on to it.

After The Fall by trancer21 (Lea Michele/Dianna Agron; warning: angst, hint of dub-con)
Lea finds something that she didn't like on Dianna's cellphone...
