Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairings: #1: Gen (Clark/Lex implied if you squint); #2: Pete/OFC; Pete/Chloe; #3: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stone_princess
Author Website: Stone Princess's Stories

Why this must be read:
Three things that never happened to Pete: The first ficlet has Superman (yay!), the second section has Pete/Chloe (sweet) and Club!Lex (*drool*), and the third, my favorite, is College!Clex and completely adorable. We don't get much Pete fic, so read this one.

08:28 am Champagne Wishes by Te (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex

Author Website: Teland

Why this must be read:
This is for those of us who think good champagne is the perfect cure for a variety of ailments, including a Very Bad Day. I love this story for the playful banter between Clark and a charmingly snockered Lex--and Te gives good porn, as always.

09:18 am Downtime by ilanabean42 (PG)
Title: Downtime
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS/BATTLESTAR GALATICA (2003)
Pairing: ehh..Starbuck/Sheppard UST? Maybe? :P
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ilanabean42
Author Website: No fic site I could see
Why this must be read:

well consider this my crossover rec for the month but...I'm a new addict of BSG and a big Stargate: Atlantis fan and there's just something wonderfully, deliciously fun about throwing Starbuck and Sheppard into a bar together and seeing what happens. It turned out precisely the way I expected it would (and only John Sheppard could get away with a pick up line that cheesy) only better...

Never try to one up Starbuck....She always wins.

11:50 am A Day Long Remembered by red rose knight (PG)
Fandom: Star Wars: Original Trilogy
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: The author is not on lj, as far as I know.
Author Website: Shades of Noir (but s/he does not have her fanfiction on her website; that can be found at the author's page on ff.net)
Why this must be read:

This fic, which details Vader's thoughts as he meets - and kills - Obi-Wan in A New Hope, is worth reading for it's characterization. Red Rose Night paints an intreguing portrait of their relationship as it was, in ANH. The action, rare to see in a vignette detailing a characters thoughts - is handled nicely, and flows naturally.

Excerpt:Today, everything would change. )

Pairing: stick/puck otp! Ahem. Sorry.

Why this must be read:

As Canadians go, I'm definitely - or I thought - not your stereotypical one. I went for snark over polite, don't drink beer, rarely say eh and have never managed to sit through an entire NHL game on tv much less watch one.

But this has proven to me that, yes, I am indeed a diehard Canuck and that the NHL lurve (As proven by the lockout) has nada to do with the Canadian passion for hockey. Lucky for me?

I'm not alone. I have McKay to keep me company. This fic for Canadians, will have you alternately snickering, nodding, and out and out giggling...for the rest of you? You'll laugh too. Promise. This is out and out one of the best fics I've read for Rodney in a long time and Zelenka...

Loves me my mad little goalie.

Also? I should warn this fic may cause hockey fans to suddenly feel an unbearable urge to play a game of shinny. Consider yourselves warned.

06:47 pm Force by Ion Bond (PG-13)
Fandom: X-MEN
Pairing: Magneto/Xavier
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ion_bond
Author Website:
Why this must be read:

This is pre-slash. Short, as usual with my recs. It's part of a longer piece, but the first and last parts haven't been written, so it's sort of a WIP. It does stand up very well on its own.

This is a very detailed piece set in 1955, with Charles and Erik dancing around their attraction for one another and their differing philosophies on life.

08:47 pm A Logical Proposal by ShouldKnowBetter (PG13)
Fandom: STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE
Pairing: Trip/T'Pol
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: A Logical Proposal is the first in a series of stories written before the beginning of season two. AU? yes. Out of character? more so as the series progresses. Fun? definitely. Shouldknowbetter writes some of the best banter I've seen yet between Trip and T'Pol and doesn't shy away from long, plotty fics. This series is my guilty little secret: I know I shouldn't like it but I do. A lot. My advice? Check your inner-characterisation-critic at the door and simply enjoy the show.

Why this must be read:

My apologies for lack of recs in the last couple of weeks. R/L is a pain sometimes. I promise to try to catch up a little in the remaining week.

This one’s a quickie but, as it pokes a little fun at the many “hysterical historicals” in Bodie/Doyle fan writing, it is still in tune with the general theme I intended to develop this month: the premise, which is not to be taken too seriously, is that Bodie & Doyle have lived many, many lives and have always found their fates intertwined. There is a deliberate mistake in one paragraph – if you want to find out, read behind this link:
historical error spoiler )
It’s good fun.
