~ addiction by seana renay ~ ~elijah/dom, second pov, one shot~
i'm continually amazed at the amount of writing in this fandom that's in the second person, even more so when it's done well! if you didn't know what the pairing was, it'd be highly unlikely that you'd be able to figure it out. it's short and clean with well detailed visuals that linger for only moments. elijah smokes because he's addicted and dom is right beside him for the same reasons.

~ even angels fall: to crash and burn by jo ~ ~orli/viggo, viggo/sean, orli/elijah, orli/viggo/sean, angst, substance abuse, series~
some fics take you by the hand and lead you around, others you watch intrigued and amazed, and then there are those stories that you just can't stop reading and you're not sure why. it's the trainwreck effect. utterly and completely, and that was what this story was to me. it's all about orlando and viggo's relationship and their ups and downs, orlando's drug abuse and insecurities and viggo who is constantly turning a blind eye to it all. while it may seem over the top at times, there are just so many elements that the plot keeps you fixated. the story intends to show people hitting bottom and then climbing back to the top... well, that part is for the sequel.

~ the world according to dominic monaghan by valentine ~ ~billy/dom, second pov~
this was one of the first lotr rps fics that i ever read and it's always a favorite. the second person style lends itself extremelly well, and it's cute. it gives you warm and fuzzy feelings and it didn't even register on my squicky meter at all. it's a wonderful ficlet and the style makes it memorable.
