Why this must be read:

Poetry in motion? No, seriously. This little drabble is a wonderful examination of Jack's view of his relationship with the Doctor and Rose and of Jack himself from Gwen's perspective. It's just a wonderfully done comparison and packs so much of Jack into such a little space. It's beautiful, it really, really is just beautiful.

04:39 am Koorimes in Heat by Lori McDonald, (R)
Fandom: YU YU HAKUSHO
Pairing: Kurama/Hiei, Kuwabara/Yukina
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Lori used to have a site, but damned if I can find it anywhere
Why this fic must be read:

There are so many cliches and stereotypes rammed into this one story that it's almost impossible to believe.

Yukina is a Koorime, an ice maiden. Little is known about them except that they're all girls, they don't much like men and they're a cruel, hard species. Hiei, being the son of a Koorime, is something of an anomaly (a Forbidden child). This leads to him being much abused in fandom.

Koorimes in Heat is wacky, silly, and more than a little strange. Seriously, there's a real chance that Lori was on cold medecine when she wrote it.

It takes a lot to unnerve Genkai )

09:29 am "You Bring the Floats, I'll Bring the Confetti" by Lynnmonster (PG)
Fandom: WILBY WONDERFUL
Pairing: Duck MacDonald / Dan Jarvis
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lynnmonster
Author Website: none to my knowledge
Why this must be read:

I love this short story because it takes a throwaway line about parades from the movie and expands it into a whole, sweet future for Duck and Dan. We also get wonderful glimpses of how the rest of the town has grown and changed as well which is just the icing on the cake. I particularly love how Duck and Dan have grown so comfortable and quiet with each other. Their ease with each other speaks of long, loving years together and the future we all hope for them.


"You're having fun, aren't you," Dan said. )

11:57 am Odd Man Out by Dira Sudis (PG)
Fandom: WILBY WONDERFUL
Pairing: none

Author Website: Fiction by Dira Sudis
Why this must be read:

This must be read because the scene between Emily and Duck is one of the best in the movie and this is one of the best stories that expands on it. In the movie Duck has just been shot down by Dan for the evening and he then helps Emily kick her jerk boyfriend to the curb a couple doors down at the motel. They then end up sitting in Duck's truck talking but we only see a few moments of the time they spent together. Although very short, this is a great little extension of their conversation. Emily's voice is spot on and Duck is perfect. I also particularly like Emily's interpretation of what's she's been told of Duck and Sandra's shared past. It fits into a younger child's perspective.


It's been that kind of day, really. Taylor is an arsehole. Her mother is... still her mother, even on Wilby, which shouldn't be surprising, but managed to catch her off-guard anyway. )
