04:34 am Character Death/AU by cmshaw (NC-17)
Fandom: ANTHROPOMORFIC
Pairing: Character Death/AU
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cmshaw
Author Website: cmshaw's fanfic
Why this must be read: What a brilliant, brilliant piece of meta-writing this is. It's dark and creepy and unbelievably disturbing (you have been warned), and the ending is just knock-your-socks-off superb!

12:05 pm Les aveugles verront, by Nelladel, PG13
Fandom: LYMOND CHRONICLES
Pairing: Lymond/ Christian
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nelladel
Author's Website: NA
Why This Must Be Read: Set during Checkmate, when both Lymond's mind and his body are failing him, "Les aveugles verront" is a bittersweet portrayal of his friends' struggle to help him cope. Nelladel does a lovely job of capturing the pathos of the scene without overdoing it.

Fandom: BOY MEETS WORLD
Pairing: Jack/Rachel, Jack/OFC, Jack/Eric
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] mizzmarvel
Author Website: MizzMarvel's ff.net profile

Why this must be read:
Because this is short, hot, and sweet. Did I mention hot? Seriously, even though this isn't a long story, you 'hear' the characters so well, and the ending is just right.

01:41 pm Four Things That Never Happened to Jim and Pam by uhmidont
Fandom: THE OFFICE
Pairing: Jim/Pam
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] uhmidont
Author Website: formerly ficorama.net (now closed)
Why this must be read: This was one of the first fics written in this fandom, and [livejournal.com profile] uhmidont uses the five things structure to perfection, all these different, fascinating jumping-off points for how Jim and Pam might have gotten together. I like how each section gets progressively less a/u, and I really love how Jim's relationship with Katy serves as a catalyst in the third section. Plus it's funny and bittersweet in perfect proportions.

"You know Crystal Nails right by the Wal-Mart?"

"Strangely enough, I don't," he says. "Promise you won't hold it against me."

Pause. Pause. Pause.

She laughs. "You're so funny," she says. "Just so totally funny."

And that's why he'd stopped calling Katy. She's fun, and he likes her, but she doesn't say things like, "You don't know where Crystal Nails is? Jim, how can you call yourself an American?"

That's what Pam says when he asks her how to get there."

08:16 pm The Good Fight  by Glacis (NC-17)

Fandom: MUTANT X
Pairing: Jesse Kilmartin/Brennan Mulwray
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Castle's Keep
Why this must be read:

How did the Mutant X team feel during the events of 3x01 "Into the moonless night"?

Glacis writes the event brilliantly, keeping the characters in character, you can actually hear their voices talk.

Jesse wanting to save everyone and find Adam, Shalimar and Brennan fighting the good fight.

Warning: Major character(s) death, mild kink.
