10:37 am Safe Harbor by Brenda (PG-13)
Fandom: AFFLECTION
Pairing: Matt Damon/Ben Affleck
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] azewewish
Author Website: Broadwriting
Why this must be read: My favourite aspect of "Safe Harbor" is the way in which Matt and Ben desperately cling to the normality of their friendship while the world goes crazy around them. Brenda has embued this story with a wonderful feeling of mutual affection.

04:57 pm Everybody Else's Girl by Mosca (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
Pairing: Riker/Troi
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mosca

Why this must be read:

For a lot of The Next Gen Troi was an underused character. Mosca takes the idea that in addition to being an empath and Riker's on/off love interest Troi is a starfleet officer with the rank of commander and runs with it.

For four years, we have carried the same rank. When I passed the commander's test, Captain Picard wrote me a letter of congratulations. It was an awkward thing, but he sometimes finds it easiest to express himself when he has time to edit his words. "This crew has a tendency to forget that you are not only an excellent counselor, but an excellent officer," he wrote. "I hope that this will help you remember."

Every morning, I fasten three gold disks to the collar of my uniform and remind myself that I am a Starfleet commander. I have sat in the center chair of the fleet's flagship, and I have done her as proud as I could. (I only crashed her once.) Starfleet has been sending me on sensitive espionage missions. I am ordered to probe the enemy's thoughts and wrap up her secrets in the recondite corners of my mind. I have made a career of keeping confidences.

07:58 pm Addictions by Kaden (PG-13)
Fandom: QUEER AS FOLK US
Pairing: Ethan/Blake

Why this must be read:

When I first read the story I told the author that the fic was great - in a weird, traumatizing way. That description still holds. Well-written, and more importantly, interesting. And even though the pairing is complete crack, the fic stays true to the characters and their voices. Then somehow Ethan and Blake being together suddenly just works. I have no idea how. But it begins and ends with Ethan's predilection for blonds.
