Original rec here.

The server is currently down, but the final chapter of >Epic has been posted! (There is a SmackJeeves backup.)

So many webcomics never come to a conclusion, so it's always thrilling to see one get an ending. The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal has beautiful art, humor, and wicked good pacing. If you haven't read it, here's your chance to read it all in one go! If you have, here's your chance to pick it back up and finish.

I personally plan to reread the ending once the servers stabilize and I can read it at a better place, but let's talk about it! Did you like the ending?

Title: Under the Knife
Author: laurinkelly
Format: novel
Rating: mature
Summary: Twelve chefs assemble for the new season of TV’s hottest cooking competition, Under the Knife. Among them are Zachary Kasun, an arrogant, classically trained executive chef from one of New York’s finest French restaurants; and Nate Pasternak, a mellow vocational school graduate who gradually worked his way up to sous chef at Chicago’s premier steak house. Under the critical eye of four expert judges, the two hundred and fifty thousand dollar grand prize is each of theirs to lose. But will they both lose their hearts along the way as well?

Review:
If you're looking for a sweet (and sometimes hot!) romance with complex characters, Under the Knife should be right up your alley. I was very sorry to see it end!

Title: In the Company of Shadows
Author: Sonny and Ais
Format: series of novels
Rating: mature, bordering on ultra mature at times
Warnings: non-con, dub-con, torture, violence, drug use, prostitution, probably more things I'm forgetting

http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/authors.php?no=1296804148
Summary: The series is set in a fictional post-war apocalyptic world in the near future. It follows two characters who had shut themselves off from the rest of the world for different reasons, who are now learning to grow as partners and more. They both work for a secret anti-terrorist government organization and often risk life, limb and sanity on their missions as they struggle with who they were, who they are, and who they're becoming.

Review: Okay, so this was actually completed several months back, but I only just finished reading it. This is a massive, incredibly complex series of stories and, while it's complete, I think we'll be seeing more from its universe for a while in the form of short stories and other side projects. I love how carefully thought out the plot is and the life that's put into every single character. I suggest starting this series when you have plenty of time to read, because there sure is a lot of it.

So a couple years ago

tanrien recommended Witch Eyes by Scott Tracey. (Original rec here.)

I enjoyed the book enough to pick up the next entry in the series, Demon Eyes, and now the final book, Phantom Eyes. I read more series in progress than I used to, but personally, I prefer to pick up a series after it's done and critical consensus doesn't say that the final book sucks. So here's my word about the series as a whole!

In this case, I feel that each book was better than the previous one. The first is fairly conventional, and the other two (while not being groundbreaking), take some unexpected, strange turns. The romance tends to take a backseat to epic witch vs. witch vs. demon battles, but I'm okay with that. This is a fun trilogy and well worth picking up if you like witches, urban fantasy, and/or Romeo and Juliet-type forbidden romance.

Title: LOKI
Author: ukiiukii
Status:COMPLETE
Link: First Page
Original Rec: Here
Summary: LOKI is the story of Lochlan and Kian, two down on their luck and only vaguely competent guns for hire, and their adventures.

I can't believe it's over! T_T The ending was a little abrupt for me, but that's only because I still feel like there's more growing that these characters can do.

EDIT: The artist has another comic in the works called Pariah Song. I haven't read any of it, but here is the LINK if anyone's interested.

Big fat -eight years in the making- completion alert for Pretty Shade of Grey. The author plans on making major clean ups/edits and might pursue publishing, so if you haven't read this gem yet, get it while it's free :) [Though I totally agree with potatoe, if you've got a little bit of cash to spend when this gets published, it'll be worth the money.]

Title: The World Beneath Us
Author: ketamine/ midnightlily
Format: Novel (?)
Length: 64K + words
Status: Complete
Rating: Mature
Warnings: none (I based this from the original post), but some of you may find these as squicks or just warning-worthy: underage kissing since the MC is 15, brutal display of hatred (some may see it as attempted murder), some discrimination over gypsies
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/413519/chapters/686756 ... (NOTE: This was originally posted in Fiction Press but the author removed it from that site and transferred it to AO3 instead)
Summary: The year is 1924. The Paris Olympics are in full swing and, for the moment at least, Britain is enjoying a brief period of peace. But for 15 year-old Tristan Carrington, life isn't quite so serene. A spoiled young Lord whose father has recently died, Tristan is sent off to boarding school in the country, where he meets two young men who will change his life forever.

Review: I positively fail at giving proper reviews so I hope this justifies how awesome this story is. It is historical in setting (as stated in the summary) and the way it was written goes perfectly well with the theme. Tristan is indeed a spoiled young Lord who grows up (a little) throughout the story and his love interest, Daniel, is sometimes the clueless romanticist who seems optimistic over his adopted brother (despite not trusting him half the time), in my opinion, until… well, near the end of the story.

Ignore my review because it doesn't do justice to the story. Just read

Copy and paste from the rec:
Summary:By author - At 18, Casey left his pack. Two years later, to save his friend, he needs back in. But wolf shifters aren’t that forgiving, and Mason, the pack Alpha, took Casey’s departure very, very personally.

Review: It's interesting to read about submission by an alpha to an alpha. The to lead characters are imposing but at the same time interesting, the development is slow and there's a bit denial on the long road.

My review: I love this story and that's coming from someone who never reads werewolf stories. Hell, I've only read one vampire story. I'm very particular about urban fantasy, but this one just is so awesome. There's sex, but there's a whole story plot around it that's just amazingly well done. Some minor typos and errors, but overall, they're very minor.

I'm not sure why I picked this one up to read, the rec by agnetalovek I guess? I dunno. But once I started, I was very anticipatory of the rest of the chapters.

Title: Collide
Author: Reibrook
Format: Novel
Length: 26 Chapters (200,00+ words)
Status: Complete
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Rape, GRAPHIC violence, slavery
Link: Fictionpress

Summary: Calis Tsrali is the son of a duke in the Nayian kingdom, where money is a way of life. Spoiled, and arrogant, he's lived the life of a prince. His problems don't span further than having to sit through a lunch with people that bore him. He finds himself rather disinterested in the kingdom around him, though he isn't afraid to indulge in what he wants. But, that's all about to change.

Taeru is a slave, lucky to have a name and mistreated even by people in his own social class. He's small, and kind, which aren't good traits for a slave to have. With a master as lustful as he is cruel, Taeru knows he's lucky to be alive—though he's beginning to question whether or not his life is any better than death. But he's about to be introduced to a different side of the world…

In a kingdom where birth means everything, the collision of these two worlds might be bigger than either of these men know.

Review: A satisfying read especially if you're a fan of slavefics, a well written story (only the odd typo here and there, great grammar!) that has a bit of substance. Great characterization with fantastic supporting characters who make you smile. There are horrifying scenes of torture that occur throughout, most occur during scenes of Taeru remembering or dreaming of the abuse. Some of the damage/injuries he receives defy's belief especially when sustained over years (like in reality he'd be disfigured or dead 100's of times over) the story is a fantasy and set in an AU so i figured healing was accelerated or something!! It all works though to show you the strength, resilience and determination of the slave particularly when he has no belief of self.

The only thing that bugged me a little was inconsistencies in the era the world is set..... supposed to be 1800's ish and they travel on horseback yet eat boxes of cereal?? They wear jackets (maybe should have used Coats instead jacket modern word?) and cloaks??

unavez18 / KingdombytheSea (http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/user/12164-kingdombythesea/)
Format: novel
Length: 109,134 Words

Rating: R
Link: Social Skills
rec'd before: here (rec copied and pasted below), originally rec'd by

jesper_divah
Summary: Connor Owens is a violinist, a college freshman, and an extreme introvert. Life seems pretty bleak . . . until he reluctantly takes a job tutoring for the athletic department and meets someone who just might be the ticket out of his self-imposed prison.

Review: This is a story that I have lately been enjoying, and one of the few WIPs I would consent to reccing. It is in many ways a typical college coming-out story, and I can´t even properly explain why I find myself totally spellbound by this story and check every day if it has been updated.

It is in many ways more maturely written than your average story in college settings, has strong characterization and a realistic description of an introverted persons social relations.I think the characters in this story are very genuin and real, nothing feels constructed or superimposed. The writing is of good standard, and the writer takes great care to post properly edited and betaed chapters.

EDIT: By the way, sorry for the double author tag, but I feel that there is an equal chance that you come by the story through both author names, so added both so if someone wants to rec it in the future they can find it.

My review: This is a beautifully written and executed story. Sara, the author, really takes the time to put quality work up. Her characters are three dimensional, the women in the story are as prominent as the guys and treated respectfully - imo. Her boys seem cliche when you read the blurb - jock/nerd etc - but they aren't.

I can honestly say this is one of my most favorite stories ever and I'd recommend it for the memories.

Summary: In a post-apocalyptic future, Gordon Frost can't get a break. He lives on the fringes of society, doing what usually illegal things he can do to get by. But taking life one day at a time takes on a whole new meaning when he meets a deadly stranger.

Sonny has just completed After Midnight and it’s perfect. I feel very passionately about reccing this one though I don’t think I can do it justice. If you haven’t been following it –and desperately awaiting updates like me- now is the time to head over to FP and devour it. I think it’s fair of me to say you can do that, devour it, despite its length, in one sitting.

( Gush )

Go read : )

Summary: A boy is sold to the Russian Mob to settle his father's debts.

Edit - Review: I've finished reading this. Story is interesting if you can stomach a deluge of typos, grammatical mistakes and misguided vocab. I almost quit reading at several points, but I'm glad I forced myself through it; the ending wasn't bad. In the hands of a more experienced (and careful) writer this could have been a gem.

The Triangle Series by Susann Julieva & Romelle Engel has now been completed! I've enjoyed this story very much and I also loved the final chapters that were posted recently.
I think quite a lot of people were following this story but maybe gave up when it was on hiatus. Now you can enjoy all four novels....
