Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Martha Jones/Ace
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sakuracorr
Author Website: Coffee Cup Love

Why this must be read: A bit of bias because this was written for me, and it managed to take everything I'd want in a story like this out of my head, and make it even better. While we haven't even met Martha yet (she's scheduled for next season's companion role), she did get a ficathon (as fandom is fantastic), and lots of interesting characterizations have resulted. In this one Martha's pre-Doctor, and is a little bit cocky, a little bit unsure, quite a bit drunk, and dressed up like she's from the 1940s at a costume party, where she meets an older Ace (one of the Seventh Doctor's companions), all attitude and regret and want and just beautifully characterized. There's a little bit of role-playing, a lot of playing with naming and pronouns, and overall it absolutely works, as a character study on an unknown character and a fantastic story about Ace and as a gorgeous bit of femslash - quite an achievement.

08:18 pm Autumn Wind by blackflagDiamant (G)
Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Gen
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: FF.net profile
Why this must be read: Autumn Wind is told from an unusual perspective, making for a mysterious beginning; the narrator's fresh and distinctive voice, well worth reading in itself, carries the piece along to an observation of Elizabeth, Will and Jack that is vivid, unforgettable, and rather creepy.

08:35 pm Between the Bars by Spooky (PG)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Kara, Lee
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] themonkeycabal
Author Website: Spook's fic library
Why this must be read: There's a lot of stories out there that look at what Kara and Lee's relationship might have been like before the miniseries, that try to flesh out the moments that came before what we saw onscreen, but this fic, in my opinion, is one of the best. With clear writing, and spot on characterisations, this fic is a must read.

11:14 pm Against All Enemies by Jennghis Kahn (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE: SG-1
Pairing: Cam/Sam/Daniel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] surrealphantast
Author Website: SG-1 tags
Why this must be read:

Well, it's the weekend, and we made it, and I think we all deserve a little porn. Sticky threesome porn. This is the first one that sprang to mind, and, ok, it was written for me in the Gateverse 0T3 Ficathon, and the author kind of knows what I like, but I feel confident that other people will like it too. Because hello, porn. And Cam, and Cam-angst. Jenn uses an interesting AU context to set the (porny, threesome-y) scene, and then brings us back to the SG-1 that we know, all tired and working too hard and always trying to save the world no matter what. And meant for each other, because seriously, at this point? Who else is there? And there's plot between the porn, keeping you worried about the team. But then there's more porn. To ease the pain.

Cam grabbed his wrist and pulled gently, bringing Daniel closer to he and Sam before shifting the canvas around all of them and then settling down again. He had a whole battalion of aliens beneath him on theground. He had alien officers and platoon commanders and troops hec ould barely communicate with, but they all understood one thing: Sam and Daniel were his, and they took orders from no one but him.They'd wake him in less than an hour, but he was going to take every ounce of sleep and human contact he could get until then.

11:49 pm Like Water, Lying (the Eurydiceverse) by synecdochic (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE: SG-1
Pairing: Cam/Daniel/Jack
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] synecdochic
Author Website: venus in furs
Why this must be read:

I'm cheating slightly here (slightly or a lot), because the author claims this as part of an "accidental series", but I promised you threesomes, and the threesome is at the end. It's a series in theme more than in plot (Daniel: he's messed up), so I'm not saying that you *should* skip the rest of it, I'm just saying that you won't be confused. The rest of it is good, just not all Cam-centric. Anyway. Hot smutty porn. And kink, which you'll either buy or you won't, but I think that either way it's a very interesting take on Cam and Daniel and Jack and the ways that they might all take care of each other.

The tags are always the last thing to go. There's a nail sitting bare in the wall, like it's waiting for a picture frame. Cam runs his fingers over the bumps and valleys of his own name one last time before he hangs them up and turns his back; he doesn't need them here.
