01:14 pm A short guide to the benefits of organisation, by Dee [Adult]
Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairing: Miranda Otto/Karl Urban
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cupiscent
Author Website: Furtive Scribblings
Why this must be read:

Because there is not enough het in this fandom. Because it makes sense without hitting you over the head. Because there's humour and bewilderment and I would want to sleep with Miranda in this, too.

Then his back hits the pillar, hard enough to make dust drift from the rafters. Her hand's on his chest with her strength and weight behind it, and honestly, weapons training for women? He's a big fan.

"Fuck you, Urban," she snarls, spitting out his name, wreathed in cold fury, and then he blinks and she's grinning. "Now will you come?"

"Sure," he says. Somewhere a hobbit's cackling ("pantsed by a girl") and he doesn't care.

03:17 pm Love Me and Despair by EdorasLass [PG]
Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] edoraslass
Author Website: fanfiction.net profile
Why this must be read:

I'm a sucker for bitter AUs in which someone falls to the tempation to wield the ring. Galadriel often features in these, and for good reason; she's a proud, powerful woman who was actually offered the burden of the Ring. What if she hadn't been able to resist it?

Though this fic isn't explicit or gory, it's still dark and chilling enough to raise shivers.

03:26 pm I Have Seen by k (PG-13)
Fandom: THE DEAD ZONE
Pairing: Johnny Smith/Bruce Lewis
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: lowercase k
Why this must be read:

It's just an ordinary day helping the police track a serial killer, except that Johnny is getting some rather personal visions from his best friend along the way. It's a surprise, but not an unpleasant one. I Have Seen is classic UST, with flashes of the promise of more to tease the reader as much as it teases Johnny.

03:38 pm Conspiracy Theory by Therienne (PG)
Fandom: THE DEAD ZONE
Pairing: Johnny Smith/Bruce Lewis
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] therienne
Author Website: Therienne's Fanfiction Corner
Why this must be read:

Conspiracy Theory is quite possibly the funniest Dead Zone story I've read yet. Johnny comes back from three weeks in a secret government location only to find that everyone back home has been worried frantic for him. But Johnny can't tell them the truth about where he's been, so now it's time for him to pay, and pay, and pay. True to character, everyone has their own unique punishment--purely out of love, of course. Just watch Johnny squirm...

03:56 pm Moving Pictures by Tangerine (R)
Fandom: THE DEAD ZONE
Pairing: Johnny Smith/Bruce Lewis
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tangeriner
Author Website: Experiment X
Why this must be read:

Johnny can try to use the visions to change the future--to find the just the right amount of time to microwave his popcorn, for example--but all too often it's the visions that change him, carrying him helplessly towards his destination no matter how much he fights it. Sometimes, though, that destination isn't so bad. Sometimes it's just what he needs, as long as he's got a friend to help him get there.

06:42 pm Through the Eyes of a Short One by Rhiannonhero (PG)

Fandom: Queer as Folk US
Pairing: Brian/Justin, Gus
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rhihero_fic
Author Website: Rhiannon Rave
Why this must be read:

Because this is a good Gus story.

"She does. She knows everything."

Justin tweaked his nose. "I bet she does. Your mommies know lots of things."

Gus shook his head. "No, only one mommy knows everything. Mommy said she's a know-it-all."

Because this is exactly the type of dad Brian would be. 

"Daddy said to ask Grandma Kinney about Jesus having sex with the apostles."

And because this is exactly how Brian would have told Justin that he loves him, if canon had gone a bit differently.

What - you thought I would spoil it for you?  Go read the story.

10:23 pm Communism by Nix (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/obsidianquills/
Why this must be read: This is short but sweet. Napoleon overhears something that gets him thinking about what is, and what isn't, going on in his life. It's a tiny slice of a often-used scenario but rarely has it been done with such deftness. A lovely story.
