Fic & Vid Recs - Dark Angel (Gen, Het & Slash)

More recs, anyone?  Dark Angel, this time. I'll add them to my Max/Alec master post and my Everything-But-Max/Alec master post too when I get around to it.

Vid

I don't want to be just an other echo by aruna7 - Poignant Alec-centric vid.

Fic 

Max/Alec - explicit

Stirred by musesfool (Max/Alec; adult) Summary: In which Alec puts his money where his mouth is. So to speak. Yum. Max and Alec get dirty and then they get clean while getting dirty again.

Max/Alec - non-explicit

lie down beneath this bowl of stars by musesfool (Max/Alec, PG) Summary: Alec's timing sucks. Sweet story of a beginning between Max and Alec.

Always Alright by hunters_retreat (Max/Alec, unrated) Summary: Alec thinks about his life because it's better than thinking about the position he's currently in. Although this fic could use some beta love, it's overall well-written, and a nice take on heat fic. 

Constellations, Confrontations, and a Confession and its sequel, Proven,  by Aranel du Lac (Max/Alec, Teen) Lovely interplay between Max and Alec.

Slash

...Because You're Unforgiven Too by abendstern1601 (Ben/Alec, NC-17), set after the wonderful gen fic Under Wicked Sky  Tender and loving and HOT. YUMMY.

A Pretty Good Fit by hunters_retreat (Alec/Logan, R) Summary:  Alec and Logan make a bet and in the end, all the pieces come together. Surprisingly sweet and tender.

Until Next Time... by domina_malfoy  (Alec/Ames, PG-13) Summary: “I made the choice to help you. It would only be fair for you to help me in return.”  Oooh. Clever little bit!

Mistletoe Kiss by ladyyueh (Alec/Logan, PG-13) Prompt: #17: Logan kisses Alec under the mistletoe as a joke and find himself affected more deeply than he'd intended. Sweet kissing fic.

Incinerate by amory_vain  (Alec/Ames, unrated) Non-con, masturbation. Sort of a follow-up to Created in Image. Short, dark, delicious little bit of evil Ames and helplessly turned on Alec.

Gen

Work in Progress by moonshayde (Gen, PG) Summary: A life threatening incident allows Joshua to see Alec's true colors. Written to my prompt: "A little Hurt!Alec drabble that includes Joshua." This is obviously longer than a drabble… Sweet hurt/comfort fic.

Got Your Back by J.B. Burge (Gen, Teen) Alec and Cindy friendship. Sweet and well written.

Dirty Job by diurnal_lee  (Gen, Teen) Summary: Logan catches Alec doing something unexpected. Short, sweet, and clever. Awww, Alec!!

Other

Rage Against the Dying of the Light bylyl_devil  (Alec/OC [implied], PG-15) Prompt: Dark Angel – Alec, heat . Summary: Alec’s having a really bad week, and he’s cursing Manticore‘s geneticists down to his very last base pair. Alec is molested and he doesn't like it. Interesting concept that's well-executed.

Reccers note: 
My reccing criteria is basically this: if I liked it, I rec it. I'm a bit more lenient with my Dark Angel recs than I am with my Supernatural ones, for the simple reason that Supernatural has such a glut of talented writers.  Dark Angel, unfortunately, seems to have the opposite problem!  That's why I'm making these reccing posts, to gather all my faves in one place and hopefully help others to enjoy them as well. 

If you see your favorite story/stories missing, it could be because it doesn't contain Alec (I'm very monogamous), I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, or I don't know about it.  So please feel free to rec them to me.  I'll give them a shot, although it may take me forever and a day.  I bookmark my TBR (to be read) fics for when I'm in the mood.  If your favorite fic never does appear it could mean that it just didn't strike my fancy (which is very subjective, I admit) or I didn't think it was well written (this, too, is subjective, I suppose). 

PS - please rec me Dark Angel vids and fanmixes, too!
