05:20 pm Dictionary Definitions: Five Kisses by them0rgue (PG-13)
Fandom: VERONICA MARS
Pairing: Ensemble (Gen, Logan/Lilly, Logan/Veronica, Duncan/Veronica)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] them0rgue
Author Website: Author's Memories
Why this must be read:

This story consists of five stories, each about different sets of people, each containing a different kind of kiss. As the title suggests, it plays with the way we define a "kiss," and what emerges are portraits of our characters that are alternately sweet, funny, and painful.

In addition to the pairings listed above, this contains Dick and Beaver as children, Wallace and Veronica friendship fic, and Duncan with baby Lilly. High quality gen is hard to come by, and this is definitely it.

09:01 pm Banging Your Head Against a Red-Haired Brick Wall by Blair Provence (PG)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Other; Mulder/Scully... something, implied
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: None that I know of

Why this must be read: The summary for this story reads, "Another's candid view of Mulder and Scully, or, An Essay on Why It Sucks To Be The Other." This is a fast-paced story whose strength is its funny, rueful, resilient, refreshingly non-neurotic protagonist.

09:50 pm Children of the Revolution by zeplum (PG)

Why this must be read: A half dozen vignettes interspersed with painfully apt taglines from the works of T.S. Eliot may sound highbrow, but this short piece is anything but. Each segment gives an instant's insight into one of the many secondary characters and how they cope with life immediately after the Cylon apocalypse. Spare and haunting: an excellent S1 story.

11:26 pm House Rules by Mer (G)
Fandom: HOUSE, MD
Pairing: None

Why this must be read: Frankly, we could all use a good laugh every now and then. This story is genuinely clever and funny and it's hard to find pieces like that in this or any other fandom. It's not particularly deep or metaphysical, but it doesn't need to be - it's a good little piece and it's nice to read those every once in a while.
