12:58 am As Lucid As Hell by Sandy (NC-17)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Lance/Justin
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] callmesandy
Author Website: http://www.sakeene.com
Why this must be read:

Hello all! I'm Clare and I'll be bringing you your dose of popslash crack this month. My favoritest types of stories are crossovers and AUs, so expect a lot of those this month.

To start out, we have a story that is both crossovery and quite the AU. In the words of the author: This is the popslash Works In Progress Dorm. You leave when you're Finished or Deleted. Unbelievably and fantastically meta, one of my favorite AUs.

11:17 am The Window Seat by Dee (PG)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/Donna
Author on LJ: N/A (that I know of)
Author Website: Dee’s Josh and Donna Fanfic
Why this must be read:

Back then he'd definitely been hers. Now he was Amy's. And she couldn't eat his olives anymore.

This story is actually the first in a series of sorts (The Seat Series, natch), although it certainly stands alone. It’s short, but spunky, and one of the best parts is that I can hear Bradley Whitford and Janel Maloney doing the dialog in my head. “The Window Seat” is actually one of those fics that I find myself reading over and over again, because it just feels good to me.

The Window Seat

(I also really enjoy “Cool People Sit In The Back”.)

02:37 pm Fallen by Maystone (PG-13)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: None
Author on LJ:Maystone
Author Website: She's working on it.
Why this must be read:

If I believed in such things I'd believe Maystone had a backdoor into Joss's brain. She writes scenes and conversations that come alive and are complete enough to make you laugh, cry or wonder why this story isn't being filmed right now.

Fallen is a story with a mystery that consumes a man already consumed by trying to make his sister well. It's about crew and friends and life in the black, life in general and people trying to survive that life.

06:01 pm Heatwave by Syn Ferguson
Fandom: Starsky and Hutch

Pairing: Starsky/Hutch

Fic Link: http://seacouver.slashcity.net/syn/heatwave.html

Why this must be read: The heat is unbearable. The hour is late. And Hutch is not in a good situation. A bloody and beaten partner falls into Starsky's apartment as Johnny Carson drones on in the background. The way he got himself into that state is something of a revealing factor between the boys. Looking for a replacement doesn't always satisfy.

06:25 pm What's A Partner For? by Rosemary
Fandom: Starsky and Hutch

Pairing: Starsky/Hutch

Fic Link: http://www.squidge.org/~flamingo/starskyhutchslash/classic/Rosemary/What'sAPartnerFor.htm

Why this must be read: Found in the zine Trace Elements. Post-SR, it's often believed that Hutch would be with Starsky non-stop during his recovery. Often, they're believed to be living together through this recovery. The pain of almost losing your partner, the joy of having him alive, the horror of reliving the nightmare of "what if he died" over and over and over again, coupled with the constant struggle to just get them through the day to day life is bound to cause problems and perhaps even open some doors that were locked a long time ago.

The sequel to this story, Virgin in These Woods, can be found here: http://www.squidge.org/~flamingo/starskyhutchslash/classic/Rose/VirginInTheseWoods.htm

07:16 pm A Penny From Heaven by Em Brunson (PG)
Fandom: BABYLON 5
Pairing: Sheridan, Garibaldi
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Emland (but her Babylon 5 fic is not there for some reason)
Why this must be read:

I wanted to rec Em's The Wishing Tree, but now that her old website's gone her fic is notoriously hard to find, and she hasn't archived her B5 fic on her new site (which is to say, if you know her, yell at her and tell her we want her B5 fic back!). The Wayback Machine gave me the link above, which hits the first three chapters of "The Wishing Tree" but didn't catch the rest of the story. So instead, I'm rec'ing Em's beautiful post-series implied Sheridan/Garibaldi AU.

"A Penny from Heaven" is set late in Sheridan's life, in an alternate universe that spun off roughly from the Shadow War, in which Garibaldi never came back after going missing and Sheridan never knew why he'd been betrayed. Here's Sheridan and his young son David, and Sheridan reconstructing whatever happened to Mr. Garibaldi after he left the station.

08:47 pm Redeem the Blood by Alara Rogers
Hola! I'm feldman and I'll be driving the Farscape Crack Van all month long. I tend toward the bumpier roads and scenic routes, so buckle up for safety and keep your eyes peeled for the roadside attractions. The locals are friendly as well as wickedly talented, so feel free to express your 'ooo's and 'aaa's in a nice feedback email for the authors.

Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alara_r
Author Website: www.alara.net
Why this must be read: Excellent Scorpius voice and characterization.

On the show, Scorpius evolved from a well-spoken nightmare to a well-fleshed character who could arguably be cast as the hero if we took his point of view. It can be difficult to find fic that writes him as well or as interestingly, but Alara Rogers knows him and shows him to us:

"It didn't matter if Birain Renato despised her child, even if she bore an unfortunate resemblance to a cross between Rylani Dellos and a knife."
