Pairing: Aubrey/Maturin

Why this must be read:

It may be fairly obvious at this point that I have total love for Stephen Maturin. This is one of my favourite fanfic versions of Stephen: the voice is lovely, and I'm always happy to see fics with him writing in his journal. The one aspect of this fic which made me decide I should rec it, however, is its mention of a wombat. Stephen's habit of making friends with random wild animals is fun in the books (the phrase "Jack, you have debauched my sloth." still has the power to make me sporfle), and perfect small details like that are one of the things I look for in my favourite fanfiction.

This fic is also notable, I think, for an interesting view of Stephen that I'm not entirely sure I agree with, but even that doesn't beat the wombat. :)

07:55 am Cairo by skripka (NC-17)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Ziva David/Jenny Shepard
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] skripka
Author Website: Along the Rim
Why this must be read:

I seriously think that Ziva and Jenny have the second most slashy relationship on screen, just behind Gibbs and DiNozzo. The two women have a canon history together. On screen we've a connection between them. There's tension between Ziva and Gibbs because he's never sure if her loyalty is with him or with Jenny...and she's demonstrated more than once that her connection to Jenny is still strong, so he's got reason to worry.

This story explores the beginnings of Ziva and Jenny's relationship, when they worked together in Cairo. It's rich with detail and atmosphere, and while I'm not particular into femslash, this sex scene was hot.

05:05 pm The Romantic Machinations of Timmy the Elf… by Anonymous (PG)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Tim Drake/Cassandra Cain; Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle; Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon.
Author on LJ: N/A as the author was anonymous.
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:

First of all, the title in its entirety is The Romantic Machinations of Timmy the Elf Who Didn't Want to be a Dentist, and his Faithless Sidekick, Yukon Cassandra OR A Story in which Dick and Babs are Doomed. Just wanted to get that long title out of the way first, since there was no way that whole thing would fit into the subject.

This story is just so hysterical that you will most likely laugh until you cry at certain points. When it looks like Dick and Babs are going to break up, Tim and Cass decide to try to manipulate things so that they will see just how much they love each other and get back together. Somehow. By Christmas, which isn’t that far off--hence the elf part of the title.

And, naturally, a lot of things go horribly wrong in the process.

Here is an excerpt from when Tim is trying to get Dick to go to the ballet. )
