09:04 pm Them Bones by Viola (PG)
Hello fellow addicts! This is my first time at driving the Angel van, although last month's Buffy tour of duty was my virgin run at the Crack Van. I favor short stories for recs, maybe by some authors you haven't seen before, or maybe those you need to see again.

Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: None. Connor centric
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] viola_dreamwalk
Author Website:http://www.geocities.com/twodimensionalwomen/la.html
Why this must be read:

Connor believes that he sees clearly. And maybe he does. He sees dead people.

Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Angel/Spike
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] amerella
Author Website: http://www.geocities.com/without_gravity/
Why this must be read:
This could be one way the world ends. Or begins. Time is a circle, and Angel and Spike can't seem to break out of it.

09:39 pm Vigil, by Kai (PG)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kaiz
Author Website: The Zone
Why this must be read: Highlander is full of stories about life and death, battles and quickenings, morals and values. This, however, is a story about faith and visions and accepting fate. It's canon that Darius dreamed of his death days before it happened, and mentioned that dream to various people. Vigil looks at what it was like to see death coming.

09:57 pm To Shine by Reflected Light by Cortese (R)
Hello again, I'm back for another round of Hornblower recs. I'm starting out this month with something a little different.

Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio/Archie, Horatio/William
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tanacawyr
Author Website: Janis Cortese's Hornblower Fanfiction
Why This Must Be Read

One of my favorite of [livejournal.com profile] tanacawyr's stories, To Shine By Reflected Light fits none of the common categories of the fandom. [livejournal.com profile] tanacawyr starts with a terribly plausible AU ending to Retribution, not a happy Live Kennedy Universe, but a darker one in which Archie is dead and Horatio has resigned his commission -- refusing to accept a future in the navy purchased in Archie's blood. And when Horatio walks away, William follows him.

Horatio is haunted by his past, by his grief for Archie and his grief for what might have been. This is a painful and painfully true portrait of grief and things left unsaid until too late, told from the perspective of a William Bush who knows all about words left unspoken. Archie is everywhere in this story, but ultimately it is about Horatio and William, about regrets and risks and ultimately about taking a chance on the future.

09:58 pm Out of the Mists by The Blintz and Brit
Fandom: Starsky and Hutch
Pairing: Gen
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Zebra Three BLT
Why this must be read: For your midweek read, I present this lovely gem of a gen story. I must have Shootout on the brain, because like Monday's rec, this is post-Shootout, too. But with a twist. It's a long story... 16 chapters, but it's so good, you won't want to stop reading. To make a long story short, Hutch is undercover, infiltrating Vic Monte's gang, but Starksy's not at his side. And as we all know, "Me" with no "Thee" at his side is a recipe for disaster. And sure enough, things go as wrong as they can.

Read more... )

It just gets better from there. You'll laugh, you'll cry. The banter between S&H is great, and there's lot of action. Read it. All sixteen chapters. It's pure gen... not a pre-slashy moment in sight. (Okay, maybe one, but I was wearing my slash glasses at the time, so...) Besides, it's Wednesday. You need something to get you through the rest of the week. Give it a try. You'll thank me when you're done.
