07:36 am Digital Revelation, by Apapazukamori (PG-13)
Fandom : CLAMP – SERIES: X fusion with Chobits
Pairing : Fuuma/Kamui (sort of) and many others
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] baitedbreath
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/78143/
Why this must be read:

Fuuma finds something he has always wanted lying in the trash, his very own persocon (personal computer)!

This story is fun, and cute. The fic follows the general story line from the Chobits manga but characters from X take the place of the characters originally in the manga.

I was never a large fan of Chobits but was very entertained by the idea of X characters within the Chobits verse.

The author manages to keep the story true to Chobits but still keep the X characters completely in character. That in itself makes this fic worth reading, not to mention the subtle hints of shounen ai, and its completely addictive cuteness.

01:46 pm Faster, Diefenbaker! Mush! Mush! by Yahtzee (PG)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Ray Vecchio/Ray Kowalski
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63
Author Website: Yahtzee's Fic

Why this must be read:
Here's another Ray/Ray story. (I have one more plus a Fraser/Kowalski before the end of the week.) This story is the flip side of my previous rec, which is more of a straight cop story with dramatic interpersonal aspects. Yahtzee's story has all the zany feel of canon, along with some subtle slash.

Yahtzee wrote this story (fandom and pairing) at my request, and I was thrilled to get such a lighthearted result.

08:36 pm Peace, Through Superior Firepower by cretkid (PG-13)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: Ensemble
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cretkid
Author's Website: Farscape Fic

Why this must be read:

This is very nearly [livejournal.com profile] cretkid's opus. Cret's another writer with the gift of the ensemble piece. Simply meaning, she has a firm handle on the HUGE cast of characters Farscape has and writes them all equally different and right. Her characters always feel right.

This is another big ole adventure story complete with the bumbling, stumbling nature of the crew. Plights, fights, and mistakes abound and that's what makes this so true to the show. The imperfect nature, the details Cret shows us in how they deal with everything, and the dialogue that lets us into the crew's head. Plus, it's damn fun.

And special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda for the hilarious summary of this story. I spit my Diet Coke out when I first read it.

09:00 pm Full Circle by Aphedas (PG-15)
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Warren/Andrew
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aphedas
Author Website: ??
Why this must be read:

I will quote my own comment when I first read this story: It's so well written, all of this fic. Andrew's darkness, which is often forgotten, is all here. I love it. His willingness to give in to Warren, and Warren's charismatic power. Aphedas has captured it so well. Jonathan's distance, too, perfect.

This is a mesmerising fic, and really shows the darkness of the Warren/Andrew relationship. Andrew's need to be with Warren is nothing short of compulsive. It's worth the same pain, all over again.

Follow me where I am gone. )

I love you Andrew. Of course I do. )

Full Circle

11:08 pm Be Careful What You Wish For by Melusina and The Stowaway (NC-17)
Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack Sparrow/James Norrington
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fabu and [livejournal.com profile] the_stowaway
Author Website: Cultural Infidelities
Why this must be read:

One aspect of the film that seems to often be hard to pull off is the magic. Here, [livejournal.com profile] fabu and [livejournal.com profile] the_stowaway capture the magical feel of the film perfectly. Magic is there, but its understated, you have to look for it -- or have it look for you. When Elizabeth Turner goes looking for magic, the consequences for Jack and James are innumerable. [livejournal.com profile] the_stowaway and [livejournal.com profile] fabu are seperately both terrific writers, and fabulous at characterization. Together, they really find the essence of the characters. In particular, their Jack is fantastic, he's not necessarily the nicest of men but for all his petty trickery he is at heart a good man and that makes all the difference. This is a story of magic and memory and love and conflict and possibilities. It's hot and sexy and angsty and hopeful, richly characterized and fleshed out with all the details and side-characters that make for a truly believable world and a truly terrific story.
