08:09 am Hetero-Lifemates by Hackthis
Fandom: THE O.C.
Pairing:  Ryan/Seth
Author on LJ: [personal profile] hackthis
Author Website: dysfunctional
Why this must be read:

[personal profile] hackthis is one of those authors who can turn out brilliant fic in whatever fandom she puts her hand to, the sort of writer whose work will make you venture into fandoms you don't know just so that you can read more of her stuff. And her O.C. fic is no exception to that rule. This story is shorter and simpler than many of her other pieces, but it's a lot of fun. You ever wonder how Sandy and Kirsten would react to the realization that Seth and Ryan are sleeping together? Zahra did, and here's the result. There are some laugh-out-loud moments here, and Sandy just steals the scene every time he appears: reason enough to go read it!

05:14 pm Desirous of Everything by Lemon Drop (R)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://www.squidge.org/archive/
Why this must be read:

Lemon Drop is well represented in Crack Van. This one definitely should be added to the list. A satisfyingly long story. Interesting original characters that add depth to a well constructed fic. Romance, angst, good police work make this a must read.

Link the fic at the bottom of your recommendation, outside of any cut-tags:

05:49 pm On Being Given Eyes To See, by MacNair (PG-13)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Connor MacLeod/Heather MacLeod, Connor MacLeod/Kastagir UST.
Author on LJ: not to the best of my knowledge
Author Website: Hosted at Daire's Fanfic Refuge
Why this must be read: Because when it comes to Connor MacLeod, MacNair knows him better than anyone else writing the man. Better still, she's not afraid to turn him -- and you -- inside-out so that we'll know him too. Barricaded and manipulative or openly horny, layers of deception or nakedly honest, here he is.

The questions here are, if you're an immortal, how do you get information you need from Watchers? And if you're Watchers, how close can you stay to your immortal... and how much does it hurt if you manage it? Or are you just grateful when the sonuvabitch finallygoes down for the last time? Twelve years after the Kurgan's death... come and find out.

Still undecided? Read this. )

07:10 pm Ten Things That Probably Didn't Happen (Doctor Who Mix) by Joseph Q. Publique (All Ages)
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: None, really
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Joseph Q. Publique on the Teaspoon
Why this must be read:

I think Ten Things That Never Happened is one of the best Ideas that fandom as a whole ever had. All the little what-ifs can come right out of the woodwork. If this had happened just a tiny bit differently, or this, or this.

This fic consists of ten vignettes, one thing that didn't happen to each Doctor. Just a little twist every time that gives some very interesting results. The more familiar you are with the show, the more you will appreicate this fic, but I think it is strong enough to at least catch the interest of people who have no idea what is going on. This was written a couple of months ago, so the most recent Doctor is in the tenth position. The Doctor and Master from the ninth bit are from the Scream of the Shalka webcast, which should be watched for its own awsomeness in addition to its enhancement of this story.
