It's drabble week! I adore drabbles, so I always try to rec a few when I get the keys to the van.

Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairing: Elijah Wood/Orlando Bloom
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] airlia_vega
Author Website: Fic Index
Why this must be read: This is a wonderful AU drabble which suggests so much about university life, painting the boys as exhausted bohemians and compressing the whole of their romance into just three paragraphs.

12:33 pm No song has gone unsung by tahlia (PG13)
Fandom: THE WEST WING
Pairing: Zoey gen, some Zoey/Charlie, Zoey/Jean-Paul
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] daygloparker
Author Website: As you sleep
Why this must be read: Because it's Zoey, and Zoey has always been in the cracks of the show - this is a five-things fic that shows how easily she could have slipped down them. It's five ways her life could have gone and by the end you're very glad they're five ways it didn't. The veering off from canon is both slight and plausible though the consequences are major.

The sketches of possibility are short and sparse, but the author makes you ache for Zoey with every word.

05:23 pm A Child of Faerie by Paula Stiles (G)
Fandom: STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE 9
Pairing: n/a
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: The Snowleopard's Lair
Why this must be read:

In A Child of Faerie, Amsha Bashir ponders the decision to have her son genetically modified, what she's gained and what she's lost. The story also touches on the ethics of banning all genetic engineering in humans. It's a nice look at one of the more interesting and complex issues raised by a series full of interesting and complex issues.

10:25 pm Can't Get Enough by Fuzzpunk (NC-17)
Fandom: Callum Keith Rennie/Hugh Dillon RPF
Pairing: CKR/HD
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fuzzpunk
Author's website: none

Why this story must be read: Because it's phone sex! Really, do you need more reason to read the story than that? Oh. You do? Okay. Well, it's a story where you get wonderful banter between the two of them during the phone sex. Not many authors can capture that fun banter while still pulling off the sexy talk at the same time.

The story is set while Callum is filming Flower & Garnet which is a movie where he doesn't play a killer! There were issues with his cell phone working (ie. it wouldn't) and where he was staying (the carpet was suspect) and it was very cold. These are all important things to know for the story.

11:00 pm Within Without by Eleanor Lavish (NC-17)
Fandom: CSI: LV
Pairing: Gil/Nick
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] eleanor_lavish
Author's Website: Splinterific, but her CSI fic can be found at CSI Forensics

Why this must be read: I'm actually really shocked this story hasn't been rec'd yet. It's one of the best stories I've read that deals with the first season episode 'Boom' which is when Nick is investigated in the death of the prostitute Kristy Hopkins. It's a what if story where Nick is convicted for Kristy's murder and because he's a CSI, he ends up getting targeted on the inside. His friends have deserted him and he's pretty much alone until Grissom decides it's time to reopen the case and free Nick before Nick dies.

This story is very long and complex and only a portion of it is about Nick in prison. The majority of the story is set after Nick gets out of jail for Kristy's murder, but is suspect in the murder of another inmate. It's not a happy story by any means, but it's a story about how far Gil will go to help save Nick both physically and mentally.
