Fandom: PROFESSIONALS Pairing: Bodie (Phillip)/Doyle (Zax) Author on LJ: kittyfisherAuthor Website: Kitty's House of Pleasure... and PainWhy this must be read: The first time I read this it was in zine format, and I was a bit clueless about the Zax character, but I still loved it. But it's actually based on the Facelift movie -- Doyle as Zax. I've always loved this universe, and this short story is very hot. It reminds me of Master of the Revels by HG (another Zax story), but it certainly stands on its own. Read Chimera | | |

Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: Duncan/Methos, Amanda Author on LJ: killabeezAuthor Website: Killa's Adventures in MelodramaWhy this must be read: After the end of the episodes, "To Be" and "Not To Be," didn't you just wish that Duncan had said something else to Methos? Well, if you are a Duncan/Methos fan, you do. :) This story explores that concept so brilliantly, you feel it could be canon. Amanda is not a Mary Sue in this story, nor is she used as a third in threesome between the two men, which seems to happen a lot when you put the trio together. No, this story focuses on Duncan and Methos and how they want to repair their relationship after CAH and REV 6:8. The emotions and heartfelt dialog between Methos and Duncan is so well-written, I don't know how to fully express how much I love this story. So, what are you still doing here reading my drivel, I beg of you, go to Killa's site! Now, read! Gift of the Raven | | |

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US Pairing: Brian/Justin Author on LJ: quinn222Author Website: http://www.quinn.webaxxs.net/quinn/quinn.htmWhy this must be read:The Correspondence series could arguably be declared the most creative approach to fanfic ever taken. Instead of crafting the story with only words, Quinn decided to tell her story via image manipulations of photos and letters. The series takes place after season four of the show, when Brian and Justin are living on opposite coasts and still trying to make their relationship work. The series also does a brilliant job of filling in the gaps for fans in the space between season four and season five. It's a must read view! Correspondence | | |

Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: Duncan/Methos Author on LJ: Unknown Author Website: Anatala's FictionWhy this must be read: Because futuristic fiction in Highlander is so hard to find and good futuristic fiction is even rarer. In this story, it is seventy years in the future, the Gathering has come and gone (only a few Immortals remain) and Duncan is a police detective in Seacouver. When he is called in to investigate a series of murders at various local hotels, he meets the owner of the hotels, who is none other than Methos. The Methos, he thought had died so many years ago in the latter days of the Gathering. As they struggle to rebuild their friendship after such a long time apart, they are drawn into a twisted plot of murder, deceit, betrayal and hidden secrets. Working together, they seek out the killer. A truly engrossing read, that like any good murder mystery leaves you guessing until the end who the killer is -- only this mystery has dashes of hot Duncan/Methos to keep you entertained also.

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US Pairing: Brian/Justin, Justin/Ethan Author on LJ: soundczechAuthor Website: N/A Why this must be read:This story captures what I feel like Brian must have been going through when Justin left him for Ethan in season two/season three. Starla tried to fill in the gaps, what Brian experienced on the anniversary of Justin's bashing, how much Brian worried about Justin and whether or not Ethan could really take care of him. Through Starla's writing, the reader is able to take a deeper look at Brian's character, behind all the bravado and stoicism, to see the person he really is inside. Plus, there's a lot of really hot tension and longing between Brian and Justin during their separation, and Starla captures that perfectly. Guh. :) ( Excerpt. )The Tick Tick Boom | | |

Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK: US Pairing: Brian/Justin Author on LJ: twistinside82Author Website: http://www.geocities.com/twistinside82/home.htmlWhy this must be read:Liz wrote this story for the QAF:US Series Dream Ending Challenge at comingthengoing. The challenge was for everyone to write the fic of their dream ending, obviously, and I think Liz did an awesome job of capturing what a lot of the Brian/Justin fans would like to see happen when the series draws to a close at the end of this season. Things change, but we're sometimes surprised by how easy change can be, and how some things never change at all. ( Excerpt. )Changes | | |

Fandom: HARD CORE LOGO Pairing: Billy/Joe Author on LJ: not as far as I know Author Website: House of Slack Why this must be read: Joe takes too many pills, and can't sleep. So of course, he's gotta wake Billy up, too. It tends to get glossed over a lot in fanfic, but the fact of the matter is, Joe's an addict, and it shows here, realistically without any soap opera dramatics. And it's Joe, and it's Billy, and both the dialogue and the need are dead on. "It's four o'clock in the fuckin' morning. You haven't been to sleep yet?"
"Uh-uh."
"Why not?" His tone of voice is more than suspicious, it's telling me that he already knows the answer.
"Took too many pills."
"Well that was fuckin' smart. How come you never know when to stop?" He's lighting a smoke, and I don't even have to say "gimme one", he just does it out of habit.
"I do, it's just my enough is more than everybody else's." Beside You | | |

Fandom: THE SENTINEL Pairing: Jim/Blair Author on LJ: eliadeAuthor Website:Anna's storiesWhy this must be read:Because it's fluff with a big twist. It's fluff but turned inside out. I love stories that bugs me when I first read them. This story looks like a piece a fluff but it takes all the domestic cliches and turns them around. Curtain fic. Sentinel curtain fic. Domesticity at its best. Hardware store, mall and sex. A day in a life. Anna's way. I still like this story. Even if it bugged me the first time I read it. : ) CurtainsComments always welcome. Please send the author feedback | | |

Fandom: THE SENTINEL Pairing: Jim/Blair Author on LJ: ? Author Website: ? Why this must be read:A newish long case story fic. Angst. A Simon you don't see that often. It will not be everybody's cup of tea. But I liked it. A nice long story especially after a long while when I couldn't find anything that remotely held my interest. Do read the author's warning if you don't like to be surprised. In deepest Consequence

Fandom: X-FILES Pairing: Krycek Author on LJ: N/A Author Website: Shades of BlueWhy this must be read: KatyBlue is probably best known in the X-Files world for her devastatingly true and emotional Mulder/Scully stories, but this story all about Krycek is still a standout. A trip inside Krycek's head is a very hard thing to get right in tone, but this story hits a perfect characterization note of good, evil, humor, and despair. The Needle Push | | |
