Why this must be read: It’s Christmas, which is always a time to spend with family, whether they be blood relatives or not. Simple Gifts is about the gifts which touch us most; having our family nearby and understanding how sometimes the simplest seeming gifts are the most touching and meaningful. One of which is acceptance of who we are.

I love this story because it’s a beautiful wintery setting with a beautiful family gathering for a beautiful Christmas. There isn’t much dialogue, but we learn so much about Hutch, in particular, in Simple Gifts that it tells us all we need to know. Everyone is so loving, and it never fails to make me feel all warm and sappy. Just what you need for a cold, Christmas night. :)

Why this must be read: Excellently written and strange fic where Xander, thrown from his body after having his eye mutilated by Caleb, finds himself between this world and the next with the last person he might expect to see. At first he is irritated, but soon it becomes clear that, in the void, company is the only comfort.

It wasn’t that he enjoyed being here with Warren, but he feared what would be waiting for him upon waking. )

Why this must be read:

Because the premise shocked the hell out of me and that's not an easy thing to do. The idea here is so...unique that it hit me hard and fast. An intense, sometimes perplexing (in a good way) read, this one will have you trying to figure out what's going on, what happened, and who's the real bad guy throughout the story.

It also brings back the Smithers and Burns of the Farscape fandom and gives them a great piece in the story.

I can honestly say my guess was completely wrong. Read this one for the premise, enjoy the build up and see if you can guess what's going without skipping ahead to the end of the story.
