Fandom: NCIS Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) twoweevilsAuthor Website: unknown Why this must be read: There's always room for, well, wankfic. But there's even more room for mutual wankfic that keeps going from UST to consummation with absolutely spot-on characterization and pacing. I mean, how else would an overgrown frat-boy and ramrod-stiff Marine end up in bed together? Don't get me wrong--there's actual, good and engaging plot here--it's just that when I was coming up with recs, the part I remembered initially was Between Good and Better, and the plotty stuff begins later. ( excerpt (not porny) )Between Good And Better & The Trick Is Not Minding by TwoWeevils The Trick Is Not Minding is posted in 4 parts--be sure to click at the bottom of the posts to get to the rest of the story. | | |

Fandom: Supernatural Pairing: none Author on LJ: ethrosdemonAuthor Website: Biblioteque Diaboloque Why this must be read:I think one of the most interesting and potentially bad ways writers can engage with Supernatural is to give them normalcy. I mean, the liklihood of them demon fighting forever is a possibility, but what happens when they start to want the lives they left behind as children, and for Sam, as an adult? Still, it takes some convincing for me to really believe the life that's being created for the brothers, and luckily ethrosdemon is around to do a bang up job. When Jack is two and a half, Dean moves the family a little outside of Tulsa. That's how they do things now—Dean makes all the big decisions and Sam grouses but never really puts up any resistance. Dean is the head of the family in a way that probably should have happened when Dad died, but only actually did when Jack came along.
Dean gets an honest to god job, granted as a mechanic with some local stock car racer, so it's hardly work for him.
Oklahoma's in the middle of the country, so Sam can come and go in all directions. But Sam knows Dean picked it because Sam went to high school in Norman, and they both have some almost normal memories about the region.Family Comes First | | |

Fandom: NCIS Pairing: slight Gibbs/Kate Author on LJ: myerlemonAuthor Website: myerlemonficWhy this must be read: I have a big weakness for stories that feature drunken revelatory episodes, and, well, this piece is a dense and angsty description of Kate's revelatory episode. It reads true-to-character and is just wonderful. ( excerpt )Dive Bars on Saturday Night by Myerlemon | | |

Fandom: NCIS Pairing: slight Gibbs/DiNozzo Author on LJ: gilascave or zortifiedAuthor Website: Gila's CaveWhy this must be read: It's a weird fact that NCIS, despite being set solidly in the "real" TV-world, has a subgenre of fic where the main characters turn into small, cute and/or fuzzy animals. I blame Issums Bunny for starting it. Many of us attempt to emulate it's sheer perfection, but there's a bit of pure crack blended in with the spare prose, and that's why I love this piece. ( excerpt )There are two little sequels--be sure to follow the links at the bottom of the page to get to them. Issums Bunny by JamesThanks for the fun drive--stay buckled up and keep your hands and feet inside the van while we switch drivers! | | |

Fandom: THE WEST WING Pairing: CJ, Abbey Author on LJ: thestylusAuthor Website: t.m.t.r.dWhy this must be read: Because personal really isn't the same as important, especially in the White House; and the position of First Lady is isolated from the hustle and bustle while still restricted by it. The story is focussed on Abbey's return from her mother's funeral - with her family, but not with Jed - and her friendship with CJ, concerned about the state of her father's health. It captures both women very well, not only in the context of themselves, but also their separation from the boys' club. Abbey's reaction to the imminent loss of her medical licence rings very true.

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS Pairing: Lorne/Parrish Author on LJ:emma_in_ozAuthor Website: Why this must be read:The Lorne/Parrish pairing is kinda like the little ship that could for me. From 2 minutes on screen time, at the beginning of Runner, grew these stories that I just love. The Secret Garden grows softly and slowly on you. Linear but not boring. It uses one of my favorite plot point : exploring the city. So Parrish finds a room with a collection of Ancient biological samples. It's start from there. It's a lovely story written for last year ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) sga_santa. The Secret Garden | | |

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS Pairing: Lorne/Parrish Author on LJ:wickedwordsAuthor Website: Why this must be read:Another Lorne/Parrish story from last year sga_santa.

Fandom: JEEVES & WOOSTER Pairing: Jeeves/Bertie Wooster implied Author on LJ: flambeauAuthor Website: the flambeau factoryWhy this must be read:In short, because torch wrote it, and her writing is superb. In long, because Bertie and Jeeves, on a cruise, in a confined space, trying to avoid a girl, makes for much hilarity. Not to mention the gleeful subtext as Jeeves' plan gets underway. ( 'Not so much romantic as, ah, *amorous*, I'm afraid.' )As virtuous men pass | | |
