10:08 am In the Rough by Elysium (G)
Fandom: STARGATE: SG-1
Pairing: None
Author Website: Elysium
Why this must be read:

This has to be the only truly original Window of Opportunity fic I've ever seen, and it packs a hell of a brilliant twist for such a little drabble.

*But what if that word does not mean 'conquerer'?*

Malachai rubbed the back of his neck. The infra-red output of the star had increased along with the coronal mass emmissions; he was hot, he was sweating, and he was beginning to get a headache.

The stargate opened.

*The Tau'Re, again. Dealing with Colonel O'Neill is becoming quite tedious.*

10:25 am Forgiveness by Legion (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE: SG-1
Pairing: Daniel/Teal'c
Author Website: Legion's Hidey Hole
Why this must be read:

I know Legion from her fantastically dark Sentinel fic, but this piece is more tender as Teal'c tries to atone for killing Sha're and Daniel tries to find peace.

Shoes walked into his line of sight, and he reached for alertness, only to let it go with a hidden sigh as Jack knelt down beside he and Teal'c. Their commander's face was relieved - and understanding. O'Neill laid a hand on the Jaffa's head, almost in benediction, then brushed his fingers over a cheek affectionately. "Thank god," Jack murmured.

01:02 pm Plain to See by Two Ladies of Quality (NC-17)
Fandom: ANGEL
Pairing: Wes/Gunn
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Two Ladies of Quality

Why this must be read:
This story is full of the wacky hijinks that occasionally enlivened the darkness of the Angelverse. Ethan Rayne hits town, and he goes to Angel Investigations with a job. Unsuspecting Wes and Gunn get sucked into a classic Ethan plot, and the fun that ensues will have you giggling like a loon.

02:39 pm The Night Is Young, And There Are Umbrellas In Our Drinks by musesfool (NC-17)
Fandom: BUFFY
Pairing: Willow/Oz/Xander
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] musesfool
Author Website: Achromatic
Why this must be read:


Ever since there was an Oz on BtVS, the show's narrative worked through his relationship to Willow with Xander either close by or in the mix. [livejournal.com profile] musesfool's story doesn't focus on that history and tension per se, but knowledge of the backstory everywhere informs the seemingly straightforward nature of this mostly-PWP threesome.

Pop culture references and fruity frozen margaritas turn a reunion of friends into something more when Willow shows up to help a recently official Oz/Xander celebrate Xander's birthday. Though the mood is on the whole lighthearted, yearning infuses all the interactions, and the physical connections establish a sense of joining that will last long after this particular encounter.

If you enjoy the story, please let the author know.

02:42 pm Don't Follow by Wren (Adult)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: Sam/Dean *INCEST WARNING*
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] wrenscribbles
Author Website: http://wrenlet.slashcity.net/
Why this must be read:

This is an AU where Dean is working in a small town and has left the hunt. We're left wondering why until we end up with the two boys in a very hot sex scene and the explanation comes dropping out. The setting feels real and the characterisations work with the changes. It's short, hot, and leaves you both resolved and wanting more.

02:43 pm Fidelity by Stillane (PG13)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: No Pairing
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stillane
Author Website: http://stillane.killerstar.net/
Why this must be read:

When [livejournal.com profile] stillane wrote this fic she had only seen the trailer for the episode Faith and from that she wrote this clever fic which suggests a way that the boys might be able to get around Dean's death. It uses supernatural tropes effectively and it shows the boys caring for each other. It's obviously AU, and a tiny bit jarring because of it: not because of her story but because I know the way it's supposed to work out. This story is nice because it tells a different way that the story could have been told.
