01:46 pm A Bitter Gift by Avon (PG)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] avon7
Author Website: Cult of Cullen
Why this must be read:

This is a lovely short piece where Estel tries to understand death with Elrond's help. It's easy to see, through Elrond's action, words and thoughts, the bond between him and Estel, and he comes up with good ways of explaining death to little Aragorn.

What I really liked were the little descriptions of Estel's actions, which tell you exactly what's going on in his head (well, as much as you can from a nine year old boy), as well as the one's Avon gives of Rivendell, which make it seem so pretty and so alive.

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: None

Author Website: Unknown

Why this must be read:
Here's a Hanukkah story for Hanukkah, and a good one at that. I also like it because it's a Moody story, and these events could be part of his history.

07:41 pm End of A Missing Year by Black Eyed Girl (PG-13)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: None, Toby gen. (With Sam, CJ, Andy, Josh and the twins)

Author Website: Closer Than Reality
Why this must be read:

I'm going to risk being accused of partiality by recc'ing this story by my good friend, [livejournal.com profile] black_eyedgirl. This is a fic as beautiful as it is painful, exploring the kind of welcome that might await Toby once he gets out of jail in the post-S7 'Here Today' arc. Everything here is done with subtlety and grace, told in a Sam pov which does everything to show how much he cares for his former boss. Go read.

Toby looks neither disappointed nor surprised to see only Sam and CJ waiting for him.
