Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Pairing: Schuldig/Aya-chan

inconvenient_ljAuthor Website: Inconvenient Creatures Why this must be read: It's a rather unlikely pairing, and yet the author makes it work beautifully. The story is set after the end of the anime series, with Aya-chan living with the Weiß boys in the flowershop, but intertwined with flashbacks to the time when Aya-chan was in her coma, where she mentally "met" Schuldig.
I like the observations Aya-chan makes about her brother and his friends, but the best parts are the flashbacks, with their fairy-tale-ish mood, that manage to make Aya-chan into a likeable character even tho she doesn't know who she is.
While I really wish the author would get around to writing the sequel to this story (I know I saw a small excerpt of it once, posted to a ML somewhere), the way the story ends is satisfying (and makes me squee *g*).

I haven't said this before, but given that I can only rec about 12 stories, and that I'm trying to give a wide selection of pairings, please always check out all the other stories the authors I rec have written. Jessi Albano, for example, has a very nice Farfarello story as well.
