I did have two, but one just got recced during the shipper manifesto, so I'm down to one.

Fandom Category: Star Trek (Reboot)
Pairing: Christine Chapel/Leonard McCoy
Fandom #: 21
Special Recs: 64

Fic Title: Hell of a Woman
Author: hellokatzchen
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/154507
Rating/Warning(s): K+/T
Genre: Humor, Character development
WIP?: No

Special Rec #: 64

Why This Must Be Read: To quote the author's summary - "Leonard McCoy was fine with the way he was-- damaged and bitter and determined to stay that way. Then he met Christine Chapel." This short fic is mostly inside McCoy's head as he contemplates Christine Chapel and how she affects him. I liked this, especially because in the end when Chapel (not just the thought of her) enters the story, you can practically see her rolling her eyes and taking charge.

Fic Title: Untitled
Author: [livejournal.com profile] silverlining_99
Link: http://silverlining-99.livejournal.com/29671.html
Rating/Warning(s): NC17
Genre: Romance, Drama, Sex
WIP? No
Special Rec: 1/100

Why This Must Be Read: I could quite happily rec every story of [livejournal.com profile] silverlining_99's, so it seems only right that I should start my specialreccers month with one of my favourites of hers.

Untitled is a response to a kink!prompt for McCoy and Chapel to have sex in the middle of an emergency, with the first part of the story showing a "missing scene" from the battle in the movie, and the second part dealing with the aftermath of both the battle and that moment. While sex is obviously a key aspect of the fic, it is the Chapel and McCoy's characterisations, and the emotions and stress behind their reactions to the battle, that will stay with you, after. Beautifully written.

Fandom Category: Star Trek Reboot (2009)
Pairing: Christine Chapel/Leonard McCoy
Fic Title: Take Off Your Kid Gloves
Author: [livejournal.com profile] seren_ccd
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): M for sex and language
Genre: Romantic Comedy, AU
WIP?: Nope
Word Count: 48370

Why This Must Be Read: Seren says this has Jennifer Crusie undertones, and she's totally right with the background mystery and funny situations. This is set in the small town called Enterprise and all our favorite characters take on small town roles: cooks, salon owners, mayor, etc. The chemistry between Chapel and McCoy is sizzling, but there are also secondary relationships and friendships that are just as interesting. While it's a long story, you really don't want it to end.

Fandom: Star Trek (both Original Series and Reboot)
Character: Dr. Leonard H. McCoy – “Bones”
Pairings Included in Manifesto: No real pairings in the blurb, maybe in the recs, but you will see Jim Kirk and Spock. It is impossible to deal with any one of these men without the other two making an entrance.
Warning?: I know this is for a Het community and not a Gen one, and I will rec some pairing fics, but this character’s highest and best moments have always been in doctor/friendship/gen mode.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13/Dark themes
Genre: Mystery/Supernatural
WIP?: Yes 

Why This Must Be Read: This story is so very different from any of the SU TOS stories I have read.  The writing is lyrical,sad and oh so beautiful.  There are dark themes pertaining to a child and abuse of a child's rights but it is approached well within context of this story.  Don't know if this story has been rec'd but it is most definitely a must read for anyone who loves the SU pairing and even those who do not.

Hello! I'll be your special reccer for February. I was very, very inspired by [livejournal.com profile] anr, so I'm going to try to do recs in 31 different fandoms. Let's get started with one of my ultimate OTPs.

Fandom Category: Star Trek 2009
Pairing: Christine Chapel/Leonard McCoy
Fic Title: Lake Providence
Author: [livejournal.com profile] europa_kore
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/mccoy_chapel/89681.html#cutid1
Rating/Warning(s): T, mild violence
Genre: Romance, drama
WIP?: No, one-shot
Special rec: 1/31

Why This Must Be Read: I might be a little biased as this fic was written for me for the McCoy/Chapel Fic Exchange, but it’s absolutely fantastic. It’s an AU set in the Oregon Territory in the 1800s. Christine is strong and smart and McCoy is grumpy and spot-on. Their romance is sweet and slow and just perfect.

P.S. If you like McCoy/Chapel, head over to [livejournal.com profile] mccoy_chapel and check out the other entries
for the Exchange Fest here at the MasterList.

Fic Title: Salt, Sweat, Sugar
Author: [livejournal.com profile] hellokatzchen

Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: Romance/AU (WWII)
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: Because it's perfect? This is so wonderful and lush. All the little details are amazing, and the everyone is so wonderfully IC. It's a wonderful slow burn. Just fabulous.

Fic Title: The World Throws Its Light
Author: [livejournal.com profile] seren_ccd
Link: http://seren-ccd.livejournal.com/104820.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13.
Genre: Adventure, Romance, Friendship, Suspense
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Because it's got pretty much everything. This is the third in the author's "Going Down To Georgia" series, and it really takes things out with a bang. I kept meaning to rec this (and have no excuse for not doing so earlier). It's just such a fun romp that's laced with suspense and awesome. Mind you, I think [livejournal.com profile] seren_ccd is completely incapable of telling a bad story, so I might be a smidge biased.

Fandom Category: Star Trek: Reboot
Pairing: Number One/Christopher Pike, Christine Chapel/Leonard McCoy, Janice Rand/Jim Kirk, Pavel Chekov/Hikaru Sulu, Amanda Grayson/Sarek
Fic Title: A Suitable Match
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tobinfic
Link: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, AU.
Genre: Alternate Universe, Romance, kidfic.
WIP?: Complete!

Why This Must Be Read: A not-so-secret fact about me is that I adore romance novels. All types, but there is ALWAYS a special place in my heart for Regencies. This is a reimage of the Reboot Crew in almost-not-quite Victorian England, and is chuck full of formal language, people falling in love, and Joanna McCoy being adorable. In my opinion, Reboot can NEVER have too much Joanna McCoy. Add on that [livejournal.com profile] fringedweller is such a great author? And this is nothing but sublime.

Genre: Romance/AU (McCoy as school media specialist/librarian, Chapel as interim principal)
WIP?: Nope

Why This Must Be Read: McCoy is a librarian! Besides that, this story is sweet and lovely, yet still explores a version of the power dynamics that this couple would face in their regular 'verse.

Why This Must Be Read: If I came out of the reboot!movie thinking anything, it was "Kirk and Uhura would have fantastic sex." And this fic embodies that idea heart and soul. Also, it's super hot.

Why This Must Be Read
: I started reading this fic not long after I recced my last bunch of Star Trek fic. I lost a whole afternoon to it! What I enjoyed best about this fic is that is very much about Janice, her life, and her growth from a determined but unsure young girl to a young woman who helps runs arguably the most difficult ship in the Federation. I love how the the author draws out Jancie's relationships with everyone around her, particularly Captain Pike as a friend and mentor, with the ladies of the Enterprise and with Kirk himself. (Can I just say, I think these two might be my new favourite couple for this movie?)

Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Genre: humour, SEXY TIMES, awesome
WIP?: nope!
Special Rec: 20/30

Why This Must Be Read: This fic is just SO GOOD. One of my favourites from the Star Trek Reboot. I love how the author approaches Christine with spunky humour and a no-nonsense personality that sometimes clashes, but mostly meshes well with McCoy prickly self. Plus, sexy times. Awesome, awesome sexy times.

Fic Title: I'll Find a Way To You If It Kills Me
Author: [livejournal.com profile] fringedweller
Link: http://tobinfic.livejournal.com/tag/big+bang+2009
Rating/Warning(s): R in places, mostly less. AU.
Genre: Backstory, friendship, adventure, romance.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a very good, very detailed back story on the Reboot-verse's Christine Chapel. Fringe does a great job of taking the original universe back story on Chapel and tweaking it here and there to fit the new universe and all the challenges and changes therein. Weirdly enough, this author's Jim Kirk is one of the best portrayals I've read, and I love that what romance there is has a slow burn to it. This is, honestly, a great story and one I'd recommend reading, no matter who your ship is.

Fic Title: Hearts From Iron, Minds From Steel
Author: [livejournal.com profile] pathstotread
Link: http://pathstotread.livejournal.com/534675.html
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Genre: Angst, Drama, Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: It shows what a real honest-to-God fight between two people that love each other looks like. Both Christine and McCoy are partly to blame for the fall out of their relationship, and the author does a great job of putting them back together again.

Genre: Humor, AU, friendship, romance, smut.
WIP?: Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Oh, my god. I want to make out with this story and buy it breakfast the next morning. I love this story, mostly for Chapel's voice. She's a little different, a lot funnier, and twelve kinds of emotional clueless that I just want to hug. This thing is a scream, but also rather touching.
