Saturday's bonus recs will be books. Yes, this means you'll have to go buy/borrow/otherwise acquire them to read them, but I promise they're worth it.

Let's start with an obvious set: the Deviations series by Chris Owen and Jodi Payne. There are four books (so far?). In order: Deviations: Submission, Deviations: Domination, Deviations: Discipline, and Deviations: Bondage. Our main characters are Noah and Tobias, who meet one night when Tobias heads to the club for his birthday and his good friend/club owner Bradford suggests he might like to play with Noah. As in all such stories, they start playing regularly, write up a contract, fall in love, write a new contract with no time limit, agree to move in together, and add in a third party in the form of Tobias's former slave. Also as in all such stories, you'll have to suspend a bit of disbelief, but if you ever read BDSM club AUs, you'll have no problem with it.

Highlights for me include use of a Saint Andrew's Cross, the previously mentioned scene where Tobias talks Noah down into subspace, Tobias staging an outdoors scene with an audience, a fair amount of other roleplaying, and Tobias subbing for Noah in the last book.

Chris Owen is a slasher, and her fan fic is on the same domain as her pro site. I'd read some of it before I read her books, but none of it stands out for me. I'd love to know if Jodi Payne is a slasher, and if so who, because I'd love to check out her fic too.
