Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Harry/Remus
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo

Why this must be read:

It’s Harry/Remus! It’s good, tasteful Harry/Remus! There, that’s reason enough.

When Sirius doesn’t want to be human anymore and Padfoot takes over his life, Remus asks Harry for help. They get more than they bargained for, but find each other in the process.

12:29 pm Five Ways Marshal Sumner Died by Shade (unrated. pg13?)
Title: Five Ways Marshal Sumner Died
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] daughtershade
Author Website: Shade's Corner
Why this must be read:

Sumner was meant to be a one shot. Canon fodder Wraithbait. Somebody to strut around and look manly/cocky/been there done that to promptly be killed off in a "haven't done this, you're in over your head" gesture. We weren't supposed to get attached.

But then they cast Robert Patrick and well...a lot of us got attached. None of us were particularly ready to see Sumner die. Despite knowing it was coming. RP was not signed as a cast member (woe) so...

there's always fanfiction. Now, this isn't a particularly happy or hopeful fic. Poor guy doesn't make it out of this one (it is a deathfic, consider yourself warned) but...it's a damned good one. It gives Sumner a chance to show his colours in situations we never got to see. It's a fantastic read and, I hope, someday [livejournal.com profile] daughtershade might give us the "Five Ways Marshal Sumner Lived".

04:23 pm Too Damn Hot by Annie (N-17)
Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairings: Dan/Casey
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] out_there
Author Website: Amazed by the Mathematics
Why this must be read:

I love established relationship stories and this is definitely one of my favorites.  The author claims it's just a PWP, but it is more than that, it is a glimpse into the guys relationship.  The story?  Well, it's a hot night and all Dan wants to do is sleep.  Casey has other ideas.

07:42 pm The Red Hat by 2ndFloor (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE
Pairing: Trip/T'Pol
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: Set early on, probably around season one, this story shows us Trip celebrating his birthday. T'Pol's perfectly Vulcan, Trip and the rest of the crew are perfectly human, and the dialogue (once you ignore Trip's phonetic accent) is extremely clever, dry, and funny.

10:18 pm Abrazo by rageprufrock (PG)
Title: Abrazo
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Sheppard/Teyla - ish.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Author Website: Glitterati
Why this must be read:

I'm not a big Sheppard/Teyla fan. The more a show pushes something, the warier I am of it and thus, writers have that much more trouble convincing me of it. Pru did it in one fic. If the writers of Atlantis approached it like she does...I'd be much more amenable about it. I like this John. I buy this John's attraction. I love the way Teyla responds to him and I like her for it. It's a fantastically written story with great pacing and the best use of a dance that I've seen in a very long time.

11:47 pm Step Into My Parlor by Geo3 (G)
Fandom: Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: The author is not on lj, as far as I know.
Author Website: Geo3's page at fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:

This brief vignette, taking place after Anakin, Obi-Wan, and co. return to Coruscant but before Anakin and Padme leave for Naboo, deals with a meeting between Anakin and Palpatine. What makes it worth recommending? Well, both Anakin and Palpatine are perfectly in character, and the story is written extremely well. But what makes it worth really reccing, to me, is the way Palpatine slowly and subtly seduces Anakin to the dark side of the force. I also have to add that the last line of the fic is perfectly done and absolutely chilling.

Excerpt: Tell me what is on your mind, Anakin Skywalker. )
