Monthly Rec Post - June 2012 (sorry about May...yes I fail XD)
MONTHLY REC POST
Sorry about the lack of a Rec Post in May, guys...awfully familiar, right? In honor of Father's day tomorrow, have this months rec post one day early!!!! Also, have some fun and rec some stuff with fatherhood as a theme, whether it's Papa England, Papa America, or USUK daddies, bring some stuff that shows off our boys as fathers and have fun! Remember, this will only be as great as you all make it!
The Groundwork aka, The Rules
- This Rec Post will be centered around America, England or USUK. It can be any interpretation of those, but one of those should at least be a focus. It's ok if the rec as US/other or UK/other, but it's very important that USUK is endgame and any other pairings are plot devices. I know there are plenty of excellent works out there that have
our boys paired up with others, but this is a post of USUK and I'm going to work to keep it that way ;D - Bashing of anyone else's rec/opinion will not be tolerated. Just don't do it. Remember: this is a project for Love, not hate.
- As much as we all love certain works and authors, this is meant to spread the Love as much as possible, which means double recc'ing is be kept to a minimum. Each rec will have it's own thread, and if you wish to express your love for a work, please gush to your heart's content in the comments! If, however, you do double rec, you must also rec something new as well, that way we spread the Love around as much as possible!
- R-18 recs will be allowed in this rec post, however, PLEASE make sure you leave a title, rating, status (either WIP or finished) and author when you rec, and make sure you're rec does not have any r-18 material in it, just an outgoing link.
- Give warnings and description of kinks/whatever when necessary, just like with anything else that is posted on the comm. What you love may be wonderful and others may enjoy, but everyone's got a different cup of tea and due warnings are necessary. There is a strict no bashing policy, so don't feel shy about posting whatever you love, whatever rating, but give appropriate warnings and caution regarding anything from kinks to triggers to other
pairings present in the fanwork. If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to ask or check the comm's policy! I'd be more than happy to discuss or clarify anything with you. - Please mention any other pairings in the fics/art per the comm's general rules.
- Tell everyone WHY you're rec'ing what you're rec'ing! A summary of the work and a blurb by you on why you love it is needed for each rec, and the blurb can be as long or as short as you desire, but it's got to be there.
- All types of rec are absolutely acceptable! The whole shebang, we're talking fanfic, fanart, fanmixes, graphics,
tumblr sites, videos, authors/artists, kink meme fills (de-anoned or anon). Everything. GO WILD. As long as it's USUK, it is welcome to be rec'd in these posts. - Rec in the comments of this post!

Title: もっと大事に君を抱かせて [Let me sleep with you more carefully (terrible translation, I know, but "let me ravish you more" doesn't really cut it either)]
Author: たっきー [takki]
Summary: デリヘルボーイ（本番あり）米×客英のパラレルです [An AU where Alfred is a prostitute and Arthur is his customer.]
Warnings: R-18 rating, AU, other pairings (Alfred/OCs), mentions of sexual harassment in second story
Status: WIP
Reason: While I usually recommend stories because the writing is top-notch and/or the story is riveting... this series of shorts is not one of those stories. The prose isn't something to write home about (although it does have its humorous moments and cute fluffy moments) and prostitute AUs are a dime a dozen in both J-fen and W-fen, but this one stands out to me because there is no angsty back-story as to why Alfred is a prostitute. In fact, he's just a normal college student who needed a part time job one day and realized he could make some good money in the call girl business (or in his case, call-boy business: he exclusively caters to male clients who prefer to bottom); throughout the story, he treats his occupation strictly as a business and nothing more or less. Arthur requests his services one night but after it's clear that Arthur has never bottomed before, Alfred refuses to do the deed and instead strikes up a friendship with Arthur, and their subsequent "sessions" turn out to be just talking and eating scones together. By the end of the second story it's clear that the two are starting to develop feelings for each other (Arthur being more obvious and aware of his feelings than Alfred, of course) so it'll be interesting to see if the both of them maintain the current nonchalance towards Al's occupation or not.
