Rated PG-13, Colin and Ephram
Elise said:
The extroardinary thing about this story is that it is the downfall in all of us
-- the hated parts of ourselves that we don't like to acknowledge are there. It
is the beautiful stain of our screwed up pasts, which have followed the unlucky
of us into the present.

Alcohol
and Basketball*, by amelia_kay
Rated R, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
The nonchalant way that Ephram flicks at the unrequited feelings Bright sees is
stunning, absolutely gripping. The is one of the more real slash fics
there are out there -- hell, one of the real relationship fics, period. Feelings
aren't always the same on both fronts.
I love that about this story. That it's life, in unburied truth.

Break Away,
by Eilla
PG-13, Colin and Ephram
Mardia said:
Wow. Dark, eloquent and just so-'Colin can't remember what it was like to love
Amy.' WHAT an opening line. I loved the part when Colin was talking about
that feeling of deja vu when he thought that he was Colin the Fake. Great way of
showing that maybe Colin wasn't so perfect and happy before the accident. Love,
love, LOVE this fic.

Colin
Sitting, by always krissy
Rated PG, Bright and Colin
Elise said: Intense; warm, then cold. Gives you Amy's
girlish giggles and then snatches them away and makes you mourn for them, mourn
for everything. Everything.

Dark, by
Kate Elizabeth
Rated R, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
Such a visitor in the night would give most of us an orgasm. God, you must read
this. Gorgeous and true to everyone, most especially the boy who is no longer
there.

Days of Nature* (1,
2), by
bj
Rated PG-13, Bright and Colin
Elise said:
The way that I view Amy is so very different from bj's view, and yet I enjoy the
glimpses of her that are given, the images long-lastingly generous with so few
words, through the eyes of her brother and beyond. And Bright's anguish is so
telling of how much Colin meant to him, and also of the fear he has that he
didn't mean nearly as much.

Don't
Know Much About History, by
Nicole D'Annais
Rated PG, Colin and Ephram
Elise said:
I really like this. It gave me a smile when I badly needed one. A good
pick-me-up for when you're feeling down.

Du Fremde*,

Rated R, Ephram and Matt
Elise said:
An ending done right; pain fleshed out in so many facets I am envious. This
story is a gift.

Think about your baby sister and either frown or
smile, but enjoy it, for it's priceless.

For
the Earth is Hollow, and I Have Touched the Sky*, by
bj
Rated PG, Colin, Ephram
Elise said: Amazing. Beautiful. Disjointed and
strange and off-kilter, wonderfully so. My words cannot paint the picture
bj's can. bj's words are beyond those of others. bj's stories are
beyond, period. They are... other. Read it. You'll see.

I feel like I'm going through withdrawal as this ends... It is so sultry and
satisfying that you'll read it all again.

There are so many things I could say about this story and none of it would ever
be enough. It redeems Colin, it redeems relationships in general. Tantalizingly
sweet and sensitive while still being true to boys and their quirks; beautiful
and scenic like a long summer country drive. Priceless and utterly memorable.

Light, by

Rated R, Bright and Ephram

Tender in the strangest of places. Odd and yet so real. Perfect dialogue, down
to the last moan. ...Beautiful.

bj
Rated NC-17, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
Ahh, the meaning of no mercy. The brutality of want, need, have: sex drive
satisfied, and no more. I never could decide who to feel sorrier for amidst the
distraction of violence on the way to the climax, while pleas were shushed into
silence and submission.

Messing
With the Universe*, by amelia_kay
Rated R, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
Dear God, where is the laugh track? Well, I'll tell you that I buried it,
because it wasn't needed. The humor, the honesty, the Brightness, the essence of
Ephram -- all of it, forming to complete a full-on LMAO. This fic isn't just
good. It's like it should be described by some treasure of a word that has yet
to be dug up. We're not all digging as deep as this story goes. Way, way down
into the oblivion of the ocean and further. There is meaning, and so much
laughter as the meaning is fumbled around and finally figured out. I haven't
laughed so hard at a fanfiction for so many ages that I can't even remember.

There's something so calming about this story. You really get into it -- you
howl with rage, you curl into a ball, you cry oceans of tears, you simmer in the
middle. But you know that bigboobedcanuck will find a way to make it okay. She
always does. Realistically and magically. An emotional rollercoaster well worth
the trip.

Prelude to
Something*, by amelia_kay
Rated NC-17, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
The way music is used, words and actions and feelings spawned from the hitting
of keys on a piano, is very true to everything that is Ephram. I love the way
he's able to get Bright interested in the part of him that might have otherwise
gone ignored.

Strange
Currencies*, by amelia_kay
Rated PG-13, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
I don't know if I ever want to get the image of a sleeping Ephram leaning a bit
too heavily on Bright during a whole car ride home out of my head. Every scene
is priceless brilliance, not a word of dialogue wasted. Tight, and as loveable
as clueless Ephram.

Three-Part Invention*
(1,

bj
Rated R, Ephram and Matthew
Elise said:
Getting into Matthew's head, being witness to his desires that he doesn't want,
creeped me the hell out. It was dark and deliciously confusing to watch him long
for something he can't handle and therefore won't allow himself to have: further
complication with our boy, our hero, Ephram.

I really enjoyed this piece... A great job of writing Doc Abbott. It's a lovely,
quiet piece suitable for a lovely, mostly quiet man.

Turnabout
Intruder*, by amelia_kay
Rated PG, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
Painstakingly real and genuine human emotion, bottled up and waiting to explode
in Bright. I love, love the near-breakdown with the "Jewish tradition" in
his face. Bright has depth, and it's right here.

Understanding Men*, by amelia_kay
Rated PG, Ephram and Jake
Elise said:
ROFL, oh man, why does my immediate reaction have to be a literal thing? How did
I fall out of that chair? This story! Just the idea of it, and ahh! Attack of
the text tickles!

We'll
Always Have Paris*, by amelia_kay
Rated PG-13, Bright and Ephram
Elise said: Few people can get into Bright's
head like amelia_kay can. A million thoughts, all totally in character, and
you'd think there'd be a slip or two, but no -- it's always Bright. And always
Ephram. The real ones.

While We
Were Hunting Rabbits*, by
bj
Rated PG-13, Bright and Colin
Elise said:
Intoxicating as the drugs. You can feel Bright's uneasy squeamishness, Colin's
relaxed experience. You age a bit in the tale.

Wooden
Crutches*, by amelia_kay
Rated PG-13, Bright and Ephram
Elise said:
After reading something so vivid and wonderfully stark as this, I start to
wonder if my eyes were ever open before. Every character the words touch is
nailed, down to their core and out through their bravado. I've always seen
them; never before have I seen through them so clearly. A gorgeous piece
of perfect characterization.
