Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack/ Elizabeth

Why this must be read:

Lyrical and haunting, this short fic is set on the fourth night out of Tortuga (spoilers for DMC), aboard the Pearl. Elizabeth is as fascinated as ever by pirates (one in particular), and she's coming to grips with (and tempted by) the reality of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standing at the rail of the Pearl, listening to the cheer on the main deck, Elizabeth felt strangely removed. )

Artaxastra is one of the newer voices in the Pirates fandom, and we're fortunate to have her. She has a fine sense of history that gives depth and reality to her stories. Her characters - Jack, Elizabeth and Gibbs, especially, in this one – ring true, defined as much by what they don't say as what they do. Good stuff.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: The Homeless Shelter
Why this must be read:

I like a little horror with my slash, and this is a gorgeous example; scary as hell and hot as hell. Mairead and Aristide take the reader on a white knuckle ride in this story where dark forces target Jim and it's up to Blair to save him. There's a moment in this story that is indelibly fixed in my head. Maybe one of the moments here will end up indelibly fixed in yours.
