harukami
Rating: Not rated
Summary: No summary
Recced because: I will marry the first person to better this gen fic. It's horrifying, brilliant, and breathtaking. Sera POV, and I'm in awe of it.

- Beauty and the Beast
By:

harukami
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Once upon a time, there were two princes
Recced because: Eerie and beautiful, and very reminiscent of certain Coordinates in mood and theme.

- Colorblind
By:

harukami
Rating: PG
Summary: Digital Devil Saga, Gale: being colorblind - he has no need for sensuality
Recced because: It's a stunningly gorgeous look at Gale and his very different handle on his emotional wakening.

- And Then They Were Six
By:

nyxmidnight
Rating: PG
Summary: June 3rd - Digital Devil Saga, Roland: utter shock - "Jesus Christ!"
Recced because: Nyx is queen of the underused characters and I can't think of anything coherent to say beyond oh, Adil.

- The Loyal Dog
By:

harukami
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Honor -- what a joke.
Recced because: An achingly pitch-perfect portrayal of what might have happened had Roland been a character in the Junkyard.

Argilla/Jinana

- Urgency
By: Genuine Replica
Rating: R for f/f, some emotional disconnect
Summary: Jinana asks for a moment of Argilla's time; a moment's really all they have.
Recced because: There isn't enough Argilla/Jinana fic in general, and this is touching, hot, and makes good use of the little time they have together.

- Junkyard in Grey
By:

syvia
Rating: R for mature themes
Summary: A dream that recurs since childhood can’t help but shape your life. Post DDS2, reincarnation.
Recced because: Jinana doesn't get used enough in reincarnation fic, and this is fantastic; great ideas, pulled off brilliantly.

Gale/Cielo

- Peace and Panic
By: Genuine Replica
Rating: R for xenokink (demonform on humanform), some mild bloodplay and mild vore/cannibalism.
Summary: Past fears don't need to be future fears, or even current ones.
Recced because: Stunningly hot use of Vayu's form and the practicalities/impracticalities of xenokink in this universe. Delicious.

- New and Improved
By: BunnyWhipped
Rating: NC17 for porn. Vague spoilers for minor events mid-DDS1. Strange consent issues, though not non-con.
Summary: Cielo's discovered a new kind of hunger.
Recced because: Gale/Cielo's definitely one of my slighty weirder tastes, but this hits things on the head wonderfully about how different they are and how very, very weird it would be to wake up one day with very new and interesting things going in in one's body.

Heat/Gale

- The Princess's Pea
By: Genuine Replica
Rating: R as not safe for work, set near the end of DDS1
Summary: Heat goes looking for answers, and drags Gale along as a cypher.
Recced because: Heat/Gale ought to be a crack pairing, given the calm logic of the latter and the angry passion of the former, but damn, did this make it work.

Lupa/Gale

- Semantics
By:

daniela_lynx
Rating: R
Summary: Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, Lupa/Gale, paint, tracing the mark of the Wolves
Recced because: There would be intelligent reasons here, but I can't really get past "Guh". Very hot.

Roland/Cielo

- A(ccidental) I(infection)
By:

harukami
Rating: PG
Summary: Whups.
Recced because: It can't all be doom and gloom; and this is hilarious. Short and sweet.

Serph/Roland

- Not Your Standard Membership Application
By:

nyxmidnight
Rating: R for yaoi
Summary: Digital Devil Saga, Serph/Roland: Initiation - Members of the tribe must show their obedience to the leader.
Recced because: Normally I'm wary of reccing anything by friends because it's such a cliche, but holy crap, Nyx knocked it out of the park with this one. Incredibly sexy without a breath of smut, and I've yet to see someone better her Roland. Wonderful.
