Pairing: Dale Cooper/Audrey Horne

Why this must be read:

Back when I was watching Twin Peaks during its original broadcast, long before I had ever heard of slash, or even fanfiction, I was a confirmed Cooper/Audrey ’shipper. I wanted them to have beautiful, brilliant, b@tsh!t crazy babies together.

In this story, Cooper and Audrey take the opportunity they passed up in the show, yet stay in character. Gabihime does a particularly fine job with Audrey, who appears here in all her cracked-yet-luminous season one glory:
"You know, I lost my hymen when I was ten?" she shrugged noncommittally, "Bicycle accident. I feel cheated. I didn't even get a pony. Do you think I'd look good with a derringer, or some other kind of snub nosed pistol? I've decided I'm not going to join the F.B.I. I'm not so good with rules," she stopped as if lost in thought and some moments passed before she continued, running the pucker of her full bottom lip underneath her small white teeth, "And remembering to follow them. I'm going to be self-employed. An expert on everything," she explained.

Fandom: YU YU HAKUSHO
Pairing: Yuusuke/Keiko, Kuwabara/Yukina, Kurama/Hiei
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: n/a
Why this fic must be read:

Because it's long and plotty and hilarious. There are zombies! Zombies! And they're not any happier about it than we are, trust me. There's also a necromancer named El Zorromancer who just wants to conquer the world and how can you not love that?

We can shoot zombies. I mean, I'll need a machine gun first, but then I can shoot zombies. )

02:12 pm Five Stories Kelly Kapour Never Told by winter baby (PG-13)
Fandom: THE OFFICE
Pairing: Kelly/various

Author Website: fic tag
Why this must be read:

I love when fic can take a funny or cliched character and give them depth, without losing any of the canon characterization. I'm not quite sure how this one manages to be so funny and so heartbreaking at once. Great summary, great range of pairings and tones, super great Kelly/Ryan and Kelly/Jim interaction.

"But Kelly does understand; she understands perfectly even if Jim doesn't – nice is the most you're ever going to get. Real life isn't like the movies; it isn't true love, music montages, tasteful fades to black. It's a guy who doesn't like you very much and awkward fumbling in the dark. But you take what you can get because real life is also dinners for one and dying alone with only a million cats to mourn you."

02:26 pm To The End by Sheldrake (PG)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Jack/Estelle, Jack/Ianto

Author Website: Shelfic
Why this must be read:

Because he always means it at the time....

We got cheated out of seeing the relationship between Jack and young!Estelle and that? I still complain about. But here we get a lovely little look at how it works for Jack, how he approaches relationships and not just a quick toss and Jack here is so wonderfully Jack. With Estelle, with Ianto, with no one at all, reading him here's a treat.
