08:32 am A Single Act Of Compassion by m.c. moose (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOYAGER
Pairing: none

Why this must be read:

This is one of the greatest Janeway stories ever written, by *the* premier Janeway author. Nobody gets into her head as well as m.c. moose, or brings her to life so well. "A Single Act Of Compassion", the first of the phenomenal "Tapestry" trilogy, deals with a young Lieutenant Janeway fresh out of command school. The main plot is based on an incident that occurred during the Cardassian border skirmishes of 2359, which Janeway briefly related to Seven in the episode "Prey". By turns humorous, poignant, suspenseful and absolutely breathtaking, this story will keep you enthralled from start to finish, and then you'll be eager to go on to the sequels, "Lower Decks" and "Breaking Free".

11:40 am Adrift by Rach74 (NC-17)
Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio Hornblower/William Bush
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] rach74
Author Website:NA
Why this must be read:

This is the last in the set of fic recs related to Hornblower's troubled marriage and William Bush.

There is an unfortunate cliche in the Hornblower fandom that Bush's position as Hornblower's subordinate officer translates into Bush having no will of his own. Not so. And most definitely not so in this fic.

The William Bush presented here, with his quiet dignity and comportment, asserts himself to Horatio as his lover without disrepecting Horatio and his authority as his Captain. The line is fine for Bush and it presents a difficult dynamic for the character in the storyline, but Rach has fine-tuned that balance in a wonderfully told story.

Five days ago I told you a story. Time as a device; so slow-building that by the end, you hiss out, "Yesssss."

05:36 pm Fan Mail From A Flounder by Punk (PG)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan/Casey

Author Website:< a href="http://home.teleport.com/~punkm/index.html">The Underground
Why this must be read: This story really captures the Sorkin banter. In it Dan has discovered the internet and is completely caught up in it. Written in the show's timeline, internet usage wasn't nearly as common as now- shocking :). My favorite line actually is from Natalie:

"The internet's broken," Natalie said, eyes bright. "Jeremy was just
telling me about it. It's so sexy. All the gigahertz and the packages."

"Packets," Jeremy corrected.

"Mm, packets." She shivered.

Great laughs and a sweet pre-slash story.
