Genre: first-time sex
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: The clichés about first-time sex being like a whirlwind don't click with me very often, but something about [livejournal.com profile] blacktop50's characterization and use of description really works for me as a reader. Plus there's a certain amount of humor inherent to the idea that this pair's first time would happen in the back of Carter's squad car.




[livejournal.com profile] blacktop50 has a series of stories set in the same small world--some gen, some het. It begins with The Room Above Pooja's, a gen character study where Reese ended up renting a room above an Indian restaurant. As a (former) spy, he has multiple places to stay, but this is the one that has people who get involved in his life--a sort of home, if he were inclined to call it that. Mrs. Soni runs the restaurant, and her family slowly starts intertwining with Reese; the mixture of Reese's gray and dour existence with a colorful, lively one makes for a fun contrast.

This story paves the way for my two other 'official' (het) recs.

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: um, reconciliation fic
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: 1.17 "Baby Blue" brought a real rift between Carter and Reese; this story attempts to heal that rift. (It might be helpful to read Pooja's New Tiffin Wallah first, although it's not necessary to understand what's going on here.)

Why This Must Be Read: What I said earlier about [livejournal.com profile] blacktop50's characterization and description working for me as a reader definitely applies here; some of these stories are Reese's POV, others from the various characters in this series, but all of them make for compelling reading. Plus the matter-of-fact way this shows Carter and Reese in an evolving relationship is thoroughly persuasive. (I don't want to ship them, but apparently resistance is futile.)
