Great story with so many twists and turns that you don't know if you are coming or going. Stiles is realizing that maybe he is a little more interested in Derek then Lydia when he is ambushed in the woods. The story takes place during the Kamina episode and goes AU after that. Derek is realizing that he wants Stiles and is a little pissed that other people keep getting in his way. There are more misunderstandings then a Regency romance. Although the scene where Derek walks in on Stiles's private time and Stiles reaction is hilarious. Stiles interactions with the pack when Derek is kidnapped are completely bad ass. The author keeps the story moving quickly and smoothly.

OMG I just read the follow-up it's short and hotter then hell but the ending made me laugh so hard I spit coke on my keyboard.

5x Spock Melded with Kirk & 1x Kirk Melded with Spock (Kirk/Spock)

A great story with some outstanding scenes I do love an exasperated Spock. Some of the scenes are hilarious because if there is one thing that Kirk is good at is to aggravating Spock. The scene with Bones, Spock, and Kirk in the Dr's office was heart wrenching and gives the reader a deeper look at why Kirk does what he does. In each scene Spock needs to meld with Kirk in order to save his life a couple of times due to Kirk's stupidity which does make Spock happy. The base of the story is that every time Spock melds with Kirk, he gets a little more addicted to the feel of Spock's mind. He also learns how to tie himself to Spock. In the end they both get what the want and damn that was hot espceially the scene where they are in Spock's mind and he brings him to orgasm over and over and over as a punishment.

West of the moon ( Kirk/Spock)

Awesome story with a completely different take on Jim Kirk. I think the summary says it best. This is a story that will leave you going WTF several times as there are so many twists that I don't think even the author knew where they were going. I love the ending where Kirk finally realizes that he is cared for and has a home.
They meet Jim in phases, and through him find each other. But as the layers peal back, the future Enterprise bridge crew finds more than they can handle. Because long before he had friends, Jim had Family, and the Scaretta crime syndicate didn't survive to the 23rd century by letting go of its own. Jim Kirk will always be a frustration to Spock-even when that's not his name.

I know where babies come from, Derek (Derek/Stiles)

I Know Where Babies Come From, Derek by DiscontentedWinter

Great story one that made laugh and cry so hard my niece was staring at me like I was nuts. I love good Mpreg stories and this is one. If you don't want spoilers just take my word this is great and go read it. The author has a feel for the characters and the story moves smoothly. This is not an instant oh a baby, oh you're the love of my life, oh lets live happily everafter. Instead with the arrival of the baby they are shown what could be. The story starts with a storm only Stiles hears and he opens his door to find a baby wrapped in singed blanket in a box on his doorstep. It only gets stranger from there but Stiles thoughts are hysterical when he thinks he time traveled. Soon Stiles and Derek become attached to the baby girl that smells of both until the storms come back and Stiles realizes that they may be coming back for the baby. The scene on the stairs with Scott, who has known him forever and knows how he thinks, is moving because there is not a single person that has not wished for a problem to just go away. The scenes in the bedroom with his alternate, Derek, his father, Deaton and Scott's mom is heartbreaking. Stile gets a glimpse of who he could be and the consequences of that much power.

Revenant (Bucky/Steve)

Excellent story that covers what would happen if Bucky took Steve with him instead of leaving him by the side of the river. A darker story that includes descriptions for torture, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, dubious consent, and of course kidnapping. Bucky decides that he needs answers and here is a perfect opportunity to get those answers. All Steve can see is that he has Bucky back and everything else takes a backseat unfortunately that includes letting anyone know that he is alive. The writer shows just how scary Steve's need for Bucky can get especially in the one scene where he lets Bucky have sex with him after knocking him around because he does not want to deny him. That is not ever a good reason for sex. The writer has a knack for portraying Bucky's confusion and fear as he gets answers that only raise more questions without making him whiny or pathetic. In addition Bucky tries to be more human for Steve because he is slowly coming to depend too much on him. You have to feel for Bucky in this story because Steve means well but he is giving so many mixed signals that Bucky does not know what is going on. Does not excuse what he did but does make him more sympathetic. In the end things work out but it takes a while to get there and I have to admit the reason for Bucky remembering Steve is so outrageous that I can see it happening. Overall excellent story well worth rereading.

Perdition's Flames (Sherlock/John)

Very good story that explores the idea of Khan really being Sherlock Holmes and John Watson is there as well. I have read several stories where Khan is really Sherlock and some are good most were bland but this one is very interesting. There are reasonable answers for the behavior of the two during the war and a good background quote to support the fact that Spock’s mother is a descendent of Mycroft Holmes.  Komack has no idea what he is getting into because unleashing the brilliant but mad mind of Khan Noonian Singh would be bad enough, but he got the genius, does not register the box when thinking, deductive mind of Sherlock Holmes. And no one but John Watson has ever controlled him and no one ever will.  Oh and then Komack does the unthinkable and holds John hostage and we know that never ends well. In this case it ends with a busted ship an unconscious crew and Komack beat to hell. All in all a good story with great action and the team up of Watson & Sherlock.

What I do is for me (Lex/Clark)

What I Do Is For Me, For That I Came by Te and Jenn

Great PWP, I do love Lex/Clark and think they could do wonderful things together. Perverted things but wonderful just the same. This is an intense short story that has innocent but curious Clark and Lex in a leather corset? I think that says it all. Definitely something to read to get in the mood. Yum Yum.

Waiting Here (Spike/Xander)

Waiting Here by Alexandria
http://web.archive.org/web/20090302041111/http://www.shadows-and-dust.co.uk/Fiction/waitinghere.htm

Great story, very dark in parts including rape but overall great. Xander has a dark past and to deal with his life he turns to cutting one day he goes too far, luckily he is found by Spike and thus begins an interesting relationship. Spike has always said he is a fool for love and he wants to be needed. The others gradually come around because they see that Spike is good for him. This story features a strong Xander who finally realizes that he is a victim through no fault of his own and most important he is a survivor. The story does a great job of depicting the effects that the abuse and rape has on the friends and boyfriend of the victim. Of course in this case the boyfriend is a vampire and the friends are a slayer, a watcher/mage, and a couple of witches. They get revenge and Xander gets his happy ever after.

Twilight Time (Spike/Xander)

Twilight Time by Shadow

Excellent story one that I had read before and then couldn't find again. Xander and Spike are one of my favorite pairings one usually marked by sarcasm, pride, struggle and blood on both sides and lets not forget humor and this one has it all. Spike discovers that Xander is being beaten by his father and emphasizes with him to the point where he rescues him. Xander in turn begins to trust in and fall in love with the snarky blond. The scene in the retaurant where Xander teases Spike with a knife and his blood is hotter then hell. There is monstor to stop and Xander is fated to use a weapon that could kill him but it all ends well. I love how the other Scooby's gradually realize that Spike is the best thing to every happen to Xander. Even Angel gets into the action and gets his reward as well.

My Apologies

I apologize for the long break, December and January are not great months for me mentally and physically. Between the allergies and the arthritis it sucked.  I expected to slow down for that but I have no idea what happened to October and November. I will try not to have that happen again. So let's back into the groove because I did not stop reading and I have great stories lined up for you. So with a quick wave to my Guardian angels, Mom (Jovita Estrada), Dad (Ramon Estrada), Brother (Ronald Estrada) and Sister (Rosalinda Estrada) you are sorely missed, let's get started.
