08:39 am ...And Fray by Lanna Michaels (PG-13)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Methos/Kronos, Methos/Duncan
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lannamichaels
Author Website: Lanna's Archives

Why this must be read:
One of the fascinating things about Methos is the sheer immensity of time he's survived. He's outlived not only his family, but his culture, his civilization. And so many other cultures and civilizations. This piece illustrates that concept exquisitely. Beautiful, haunting, aching, poignant, stunning.

10:49 am Til Death by Speedbump (PG)
Fandom:FARSCAPE
Pairing: John/Aeryn
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown although it is archived on Red Beard’s Archive.
Why this must be read:
 
This is an older story and one of the first I ever read in Farscape fandom. Because the memory function of Crack Van is not available and there are over 220 stories rec’d, I’m taking a chance that no one has recommended this story in a long time. Picture a race, a hive mind, constructed out of whole cloth and completely believable. Now picture Aeryn, grieving because she thinks Joihn is dead. What would she do? Now, picture John, grieving because he is dying and can’t find Aeryn and only has the hive mind to communicate with. Now, how does love play out? I love this story for its angst, grief, joy, and the aliens Speedbump created.

03:28 pm Stopped by gehayi (pg13)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Mostly Gen, but "James/Lily, Peter/Dorcas. Possibly Remus/Sirius too, if you squint."
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gehayi
Author Website: on skyhawke
Why this must be read: Peter is always the one dimensional loser, the evil rat, the ugly one. No one ever delves into why or how or even cares to. But we should, you know. We should care. We should need to know. We should want to know. Because there had to be a reason. People who were good can't just go bad for no reason, not with out something to push them. That something doesn't even have to be tangible. It just has to be.

05:26 pm Fishing by aleathiel and The Deep Sea Mix by amatia (PG-13)
Fandom: AFFLECTION
Pairing: Matt Damon/Ben Affleck
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aleathiel, [livejournal.com profile] amatia
Author Website: Story Listing, acherontia.org
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] aleathiel's "Fishing" is a lovely vignette showing us the unspoken attraction bubbling under the surface of friendship; and then [livejournal.com profile] amatia gives us the remix, which is a delightful take on the other point of view.

05:34 pm Or by Rachel (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK: VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway/Seven, Chakotay/Seven, Janeway/Chakotay
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thatfangirl
Author Website: a girl and her fandoms
Why this must be read:

One of the difficulties in writing short fics is that you have to cram more information into fewer words. This fic does that wonderfully, managing to tell not one, but two stories in 267 words. This fic deals with the fact that Janeway effectively changed the future in Endgame, it looks at all the ways in which her life changed and the ways it stayed the same.

Also, the last paragraph never fails to crack me up.
