06:29 am Watching The Petals Fall by Banshee Caoine (PG)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: This story has an almost dream-like quality about it. An event has Napoleon slightly off-kilter as he wonders about life and our place in it. Illya's attempt to help his friend says much about his own thoughts on the matter and his own place in Napoleon's life. A quiet, lovely story.

08:57 am Respectable by Ana (NC-17)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Jayne/Whore
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ana_grrl
Author Website: Ana's Fiction

Why this must be read:
Good gen fic is hard to find. This character study does a good job of bringing together the disparate parts of Jayne we've seen and wrapping them into something very interesting.

10:51 am The Still Point by Stultiloquentia [PG-13?]
Yikes! I've fallen behind on the road, so I'll be trying to catch up with a few more recs in the last few days of the month.

Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: Aragorn/Arwen
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stultiloquentia
Author Website: Stultiloquentia

Why this must be read:

It's hard to find Aragorn/Arwen in this fandom that's written for grown-ups. Stulti manages to do that and to throw in some convincing speculation on how and when Arwen lost her immortality.

01:43 pm J'ai Tout Fait by cofax (PG-13)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cofax7
Author Website: alchemy mouldiwarps and coprophagy
Why this must be read:

The theme today is after. The dazed and sweet and quiet kind. I don't know why.

There's a loon around, still: Jack heard it last night, long after Daniel fell asleep. But the bullfrogs were silent.

01:45 pm Once There Was a Night by elishavah (PG-13)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Sam/Daniel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] elishavah
Author Website: Life Like Art
Why this must be read:

This one is how it could have happened. Takes place in the angsty moments between seasons 7 and 8.

Her hands scrubbing through her hair, Sam raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Daniel caught his breath and the less straightforward interpretation of his babbling. He shut up.

02:19 pm Mexican Girls by Coeloygne (PG)
Fandom: ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] coelogyne
Author Website: fanfiction.net profile
Why this must be read:

Short and gentle, with a lot of emphasis on how Sands's world sounds to him as he sits in the sun in the dark.


"He was especially mindful of words and tones these days.

He sighed and shifted in the chair, turning towards the sun until he felt it full on his face. No amount of heat could warm him, now. He smirked and tossed his hair until it fell over his face, masked in dark sunglasses. He hadn't seen a girl in. . .

Well, he tried not to think about it."

02:26 pm Inconvenient by Suki (PG-13)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Andi Wyatt/Ainsley Hayes, hints of Toby/Sam and implied Toby/Andi
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Ashes of Old Lovers
Why this must be read:

This author writes sexual tension better then anything else I've ever read. And this fic could teach a course. Andi Wyatt/Ainsley Hayes sounds like it would be a hard pairing but it works so very well. And there isn't even sex, just banter and flirting that leaves you panting for more.

02:35 pm Beyond Music by Julian Lee (PG)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Ellie Barlett/Amy Gardner
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] julianlee
Author Website: The Thwarted Invasion
Why this must be read:

I've totally been bringing the girlslash without even meaning to this month. In a show filled with outgoing and assertive people, Ellie, as the quietest Bartlett, seems to be overlooked a lot. Beyond Music captures her voice and personality perfectly. It's beautiful in a soft, quiet way.
