Fandom: THE DEAD ZONE
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://www.sivib.com/
Why this must be read:

While the series did eventually deal with JJ being told the truth about his parentage, Higher Math is a different take on the revelation, one that gives JJ the chance to find out for himself. The result is a touching piece, with JJ giving something back to the father that lost so much of his son.

Pairing: Johnny Smith/Walt Bannerman/Sarah Bannerman
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Author Website: Speranza's Fiction
Why this must be read:

Is there anything quite as awkward as your ex-fiancee's husband finding out that you and said ex-fiancee slept together? Well, how about having very vivid visions of you and said husband sleeping together? In Dirigo, Johnny, Walt, and Sarah keep trying to stay away from each other, but events draw them together. And all the while, impending armageddon inches closer and closer, while Johnny stands in the sidelines of the present. Unless they can find a way to save themselves, they all stand to lose everything they hold dear.

01:54 am Going Under by Ruralstar (NC-17)
Fandom: THE DEAD ZONE
Pairing: Johnny Smith/Dana Bright
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ruralstar
Author Website: Ruralstar's Zone
Why this must be read:

It's difficult dating a psychic, especially one like Johnny Smith, and Dana Bright has learned that the hard way. After "Ascent," Johnny is even more closed-off than usual. Their relationship on the series has always been rather precarious, and more off than on, but if there's anyone who can reach him, it's Dana. And she wants to know what he's hiding...

03:48 pm Shapes by Fairfax (PG-13)
Fandom: Angel
Pairing: Wesley/Fred
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] i_fairfax
Author Website: none
Why this must be read:
a) It's short
b) Her Fred is fabulous - she's manipulative and smart, without losing the innocence/haplessness that makes her so charming.
c) It's Wesley/Fred minus sugarcoating, which is rare and so much fun.
d) The writing is lovely:

Wesley is slumped behind her desk, his rumpled head resting on his crossed arms. A half empty bottle of Skyy sits before him on the desktop, lined up neatly with her pencil holder and scientific calculator. Even drunk, Wesley practices precision. Wesley is razor edges and sharp, shiny need, all overlaid with addictive sweetness. Wesley is chemical and reactionary.
