12:40 am Déjà Vu All Over Again by Vienna Waits (PG-13)
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Welsh gen with a side of Fraser/RayK and maybe a smidgen of Welsh/Frannie, but only if you squint
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] vienna_waits
Author's Website: Hosted on Red Ships Green Ships

Why this must be read: There is a serious lack of really good Welsh fic out there. He's an interesting guy with a great backstory that we saw a glimpse of in Dr. Longball. Vienna takes that backstory, fleshes it out, and brings it to the present where Welsh is busy running his department and has to deal with his father, Frannie, Fraser, Ray, and the rest of his friends and family. Of course, when his dead mother shows up moments before he dies, things start to get a little strange.

This is Welsh learning about his friends and family. This is a Welsh you can fall in love with. This is Welsh as you don't get to see him on the show.

01:03 am Reliance by Roseveare (PG-13)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] roseveare
Author Website: Freaky Alternate Reality
Why this must be read:

Set a few weeks after Objects in Space (and written pre-Serenity, I believe), this is a novella-length story about Serenity crash-landing on a mining planet with a strong Alliance presence, and the compromises Mal has to make in order to protect his crew and repair his ship.

Brilliant, dead-on Mal voice that just makes me love him more, for the way he loves his ship and his crew. All the characters are well-handled here, and the story is intriguing and absorbing.

01:55 am Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall by Jen (PG13)
Fandom: STARGATE: ATLANTIS
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] phrenitis
Author Website: Beyond Reality
Why this must be read: Why read this? Well, for a start, because it's awesome. Plus, there's timeline jumps, Weir with a gun and a wonderful concluding line. Oh! And purple rain. Every fic should have purple rain. *nods*

02:24 am Breathe by duskwings (PG)
Fandom: STARGATE: ATLANTIS
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] duskwings
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: There's nothing better, imo, than a post-episode fic that works, that really fits with what we did see, and shows us what we maybe didn't see. Set at the end of Conversion, this is a wonderfully written look at John and how he's dealing, post-transformation.

09:53 am Speed the Plow by RabidSamFan (PG-ish)
Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: Sam Gamgee/other, Sam/Rosie
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rabidsamfan
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/~rabidsamfan
Why this must be read:

This is a perfect story for springtime. Funny, sweet, primal, fecund, sunny and perfectly timed. I could witter on about it, or I could just tell you that if you like hobbits in general and Sam Gamgee in specific, you'll enjoy this story, so you should just go read it.

06:46 pm Duology by cupiscent (R)
Fandom: LotRiPS
Pairing: Viggo/Orlando
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cupiscent
Author Website: manflesh
Why this must be read:

Because it hurts in all the best ways.

Orlando didn't dream that night.

By ten next morning he was awake. Sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee the same taste and temperature as his anger. How poetic. Would Viggo fucking like that, d'ya think?

08:24 pm Derelict by philomel (NC17)
Fandom: LOST
Pairing: Sawyer/Kate
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] philomel
Why this must be read: This story has one of the hottest sex scenes I've ever read. There's a long, slow build-up to it that just adds to the tension. But the words and the details and the descriptions of the act itself are precise and poetic and very explicit. At the same time, the focus on actions rather than emotions or words is also very fitting for these two characters and the way they relate to each other.
