Why this must be read:

Hey, look, a fic about someone other than Lupin. *g*

Harry discovers some things about Neville that Dumbledore wishes he hadn't. Really, to say more would be to spoil this creepy, good, and oh-so-plausible short story.

This fic packs a wallop the way the best short fiction does. It has an almost Poe-like quality of horrified inevitability, and it makes sense of some wonky things in canon.

And then read the remix: Deja Vie by [livejournal.com profile] nopejr, which gets exactly right the stuttering, sickening feeling of knowing you know something really important but not being able to quite get your brain around it. The remix includes some adorable Neville/Harry interaction.

Why this must be read:

Season 6 Spike and Tara find that they have more in common than their doomed romances - unlikely as it may seem, they're both soft inside. Slow, sweet progression from comfort to love. This is the story that pulled me into Spike/Tara and I return to it again and again because their needs compliment each other perfectly. And because in Season 6, they both deserved better.

Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Faith/Spike

Why this must be read:

Because the 4th season scene in the Bronze and 7th season scene in the basement were completely begging for it. Even in Buffy's body Faith and Spike smoldered. This is largely a Faith character study wrapped around a seventh season where Spike and Buffy's relationship was just a little different. Faith's fear of commitment and Spike's fear of rejection clash, but something keeps pulling them together - vulnerability hidden by bravado and raw sexual energy for starters. Warning for a different ending to season 7 - the whole story, ending included, is rough, painful, and edgy – just like Faith.

Why this must be read: A beautifully written look at Legolas and Gimli's journey into the Glittering Caves, a moment from Return of the King left to our imaginations.
