11:19 am As Chaste as Ice by Heather Jarman (PG-13)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Josh/Donna
Author on LJ : Not that I'm aware of
Author Website : Not that I'm aware of
Why this story must be read:

The West Wing fandom is blessed with some truly wonderful writers. In this story, Heather takes a simple concept (Josh goes for a run) and through the powerful language and beautiful imagery, manages to make a wonderful story about his conflicting feelings about Donna.

Set after Donna starts seeing Cliff, Josh spends this story wondering if Joey Lucas was right about how Donna feels about him. It's just a beautiful piece of writing--go, read, and love it, too.

03:33 pm Working Class Hero by Abaddon (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Harry Potter/Zacharias Smith
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nothingbutfic
Author Website: all that you can't leave behind

Why this must be read:
I tend to like my HP slash with a Snape flavor, but this very recent story was so enjoyable that I have to rec it. Take a chance on this rare pairing and read this finely crafted story, and join the crowd begging Abbadon for more Zachfic. In this story, Abaddon takes a minor character and lets the reader into his head. I fell hard for Zach's contrariness. The reason to read this story isn't merely for the smut (although there's some of that, too)--it's the excellent characterization. I love that Zacharias really doesn't like Harry in this story, and that Harry knows that but is just out for a shag who will challenge him. I like the class politics, the half-assed-but-sincere political rhetoric (radical Hufflepuffs--whee!), and Zacharias's weak rationalizations to do what he wants. The author says he pictures actor Charlie Hunnam as Zach--that works great for me. Plus, the sex is hot and just the kind of kinky I like (alley sex, blowjobs, jostling for dominance, and two horny, slightly antagonistic young men--mmmmm).

09:18 pm Top Ten Movies of All Time by Killash (not rated but probably PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: None as such, but Dan/Casey friendship
Author on LJ: ?
Author Website: Killash's Dungeons
Why this must be read:

One of the best moments of male bonding even seen on television occurs at the end of April is the Cruelest Month when Casey interrupts Dan during the Seder to tell him that he wouldn't trade the last ten years of working with him for anything, not for anything he swears to God.

In this short, sweet story Killash traverses the ten years of their friendship, giving us a glimpse into why the bond between Dan and Casey is strong enough to endure even the worst arguments. We see them at their best and their worst, and through out it all the one thing they can constantly count on is each other.

This was Killash's first attempt at Sports Night fanfic and I don't think he (she?) wrote any more after this. I wish they had because they have a great Sorkin voice and have captured Casey's emotional dithering to a T.

10:11 pm Bobbin' 'n' Weavin' I & II by Endless Fever (PG-13)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan/Rebecca, Dan/Casey (friendship), Dan/Other.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] endless_fever
Author Website: I don't think she has one anymore.
Why this must be read:

These stories pick up sometime after the sale of CSC to Quo Vadimus. For a while there Dan seems to be doing okay. He's going to therapy, his show has been saved and he might even be able to salvage something out of his relationship with Rebecca. But underneath it all he's not really as together as he'd like people to think he is. Read more... )
