A few recs in various fandoms from raremaleslashex, based on my first quick perusal of the offerings!

Six Feet Deep (Gattaca, Vincent/Eugene, 1400 wds)
In which Jerome Eugene Morrow has a swimming pool in his basement.

Sweet, painful, sharply characterized, and really feels like them. (Warning for canon-typical suicidal ideation.)

There were TWO Ben/Shaw werewolf fics for Ben January, as there should be, so I'm reccing them together, as they're both really good with good character voices and a perfect fit with their respective parts of canon:

the moon that breaks the night (1600 wds)
Missing scene (with werewolves) for Death and Hard Cider with sweet h/c and established relationship.

A Promise to the Moon (1000 wds)
Missing scene for The Shirt on His Back with strong action scenes and get-together.

And a real standout for me in a fandom I don't normally read:

(Another) Resolution (Magnum P.I. (1980), Magnum/Higgins, 3100 wds)
After an injury, Magnum returns to Robin's Nest with Lily. Higgins has a plan for what Magnum should do next.

This fic absolutely nails the character voices and the general feel and style of canon, including its deadpan humor and Magnum's general tendency to talk around emotional subjects. It also has a very canon-appropriate get-together, an explanation for Robin Masters that makes an impressive amount of sense, and even a sympathetic Agatha cameo. I really liked it.
