Fandom: generation kill Title: for a moment there i thought we were in trouble Pairing/Character Focus: brad colbert/ray person Author: indigostohelit What makes this a gem: But all the papers from here to New York can damn well take notice: Ray was born when the thunder was raging and crashin', came out of his mama with the Devil at his heels, and took off running straight to Texas buck naked and covered in blood. (Well, says Brad, that may've been the first time he found himself in that situation, but it sure as hell weren't the last.) Or: "Gentlemen, from now on we're going to have to earn our stories." for a moment there i thought we were in trouble is a western au, which sees brad and ray joining up to form a legendary team, feared and revered across the states. indigostohelit has both brad's and ray's voices done pat; even with their speech-patterns altered to fit the setting, it is still obvious to spot the distinctive style of the two men. the use of repetition is extremely effective in this; it fits well with the imagery of the whole story being recounted as a tale.

A Co-ed Naked Jungle Adventure, by Cheryl Roberts (NC-17)

[germankitty]

Fandom: Power Rangers (MMPR 1993 - Zeo 1996)
Title: A Co-ed Naked Jungle Adventure
Pairing/Character Focus: Kimberly Hart/Tommy Oliver (primary), Adam Park/Kat Hillard (secondary), others (f/f, m/f)
Author: Cheryl Roberts (short bio on Fanfiction.net)
Summary: Stranded in an otherdimensional jungle, naked and powerless, the Rangers, along with Billy and Kimberly, must prove their worth to reclaim the Zeo Crystal.

What makes this a gem: Cheryl was one of the BNFs in the original Power Rangers fandom, and her stories give you everything: action, character development, great writing, and lots of romance. And, as in this story, lots of HAWT sex. She was one of the first writers I discovered, and "Co-ed" was the first adult Rangers story I've ever read -- so yes, you could say it's special to me. :-) Cheryl also was extremely kind and encouraging and ultimately responsible that I started writing Rangerfic myself.

The plot is exactly as given in the summary -- the Zeo team (Tommy, Kat, Rocky, Adam and Tanya), along with ex-Rangers Billy and Kimberly (who is also Tommy's ex-girlfriend), get stuck on a strange planet, in a jungle, completely naked. They need to pass through this jungle, relying only on their wits, in order to reach the Zeo Crystal -- key to their powers, and their only way back home. It's not just a matter of survival, though; the teens must also face their inner demons in order to sort out their lives. Lots of sex ensues, along with exciting action and some wonderful character development. :-) It's a true fandom classic!

(Note:The setting owes more to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie from 1995 than the TV series which followed the year after; it might help to watch it first if you haven't already. :P)
