Fandom: THE EQUALIZER Pairing: None Author on LJ: n/a Author Website: n/a Why this must be read: This is a vignette piece on what Mickey might have gone through in the episode Splinters. This is a dark fic with descriptions of a torture scene and is extremely heavy and emotional. I found this piece to be extremely powerful as well as chilling. If you like dark fiction, this is definitely for you. Target #3 | | |

Fandom: TORCHWOOD Pairing: Jack/Ianto Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) maragAuthor Website: Diversions and DigressionsWhy this must be read:I had originally planned (if I did rec a second Mara fic) to wreck her perfectly wicked Harry Potter/Torchwood crossover (Hermione meets Jack) but then she went and wrote a sequel to her awesome Jack/Ianto piece Hate Can Pardon (which is the first Mara fic I recced) and...well.. I couldn't just ignore this one because, yes. Guilty of Dust and Sin | | |

Fandom: REAL GHOSTBUSTERS Pairing: none (gen) Author on LJ: jeff_morrisAuthor Website: Jeff's Wide World of Fanfic!Why this must be read:Jeff is one of the rarest of all beasts - a MAN WHO WRITES FANFIC. And write it well (and in abundance) he does. His depictions of the "Real Ghostbusters" universe are among those most true to canon. This particularly story is especially worthy both for its well-reseached, historically accurate details, as well as giving play to probably the least served of the four RGBs, Winston Zeddemore. This wonderful story was nominated for a Fan-Q award (honoring excellence in printed fanzines) when it first appeared in "We Got One #1" in the mid-90's. The Last of the Black Phantoms | | |

Fandom: ANTHROPOMORFIC Pairing: Good/Evil Author on LJ: phinniaAuthor Website: Tangential CurveWhy this must be read: You just know this one is going to end badly, don't you? Ah, but the journey! The journey is everything, and in this timeless story phinnia will rip your heart out, stomp on it, and leave you feeling bitter and ashamed. But, you know, in the best way! midnight in the garden of good and evil | | |

Fandom: LYMOND CHRONICLES Pairing: Francis Crawford/ Sybilla Author on LJ: tryfanstone Author Website: terra incognita Why this must be read: I had a hard time deciding whether or not to rec this because, on the one hand, it's a drabble. And on the other hand, each word of it is so carefully chosen, so perfect, a hundred words to sum up something most people couldn't say in a thousand. It's Sybilla, one of the most inscrutable characters in fiction. It's lovely. Mirror, Glass, Stone | | |

Fandom: LYMOND CHRONICLES Pairing: gen (Khaireddin Crawford) Author on LJ: trabouleAuthor Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/827090/Why this must be read: Of all the books ever written, it's perhaps hardest to imagine the Lymond Chronicles ending with, "and then they all lived happily ever after." This is a future-fic, set after the end of the series. Thessaly doesn't try to make us believe that there is a happily ever after. The Crawford family she portrays are as human, and as troubled, as ever. This a bittersweet, beautiful look at how things might turn out. Pawn Advancing | | |

Fandom: TWIN PEAKS Pairing: Cooper/Truman (refs to Truman/Josie and Cooper/Annie) Author on LJ: tirAuthor Website: Tiriel’s TreatsWarning: Major spoilers for season two, including WKLP and the finale Why this must be read:On vacation with time to kill? Desperate to escape your family for a stretch? What you need is a good, multichapter epic. Luckily, Tiriel, keeper of The Bookhouse Boys Archive and arguably the grande dame of Twin Peaks online fanfic, has obliged with this retelling of season two from Harry Truman’s perspective (though Cooper gets the first and last words). Tiriel does a great job spotlighting slashy moments from the series, such as this one: I patted Harry on the shoulder--not an unusual gesture, although, now that I think about it, he and I do seem to touch far more frequently than is strictly necessary, and the boundaries of my personal space seem to be nearly nonexistent where he is concerned...and then--how odd--I can feel myself blushing as I say this, Diane--I tweaked his nose. I am a grown man. Harry is a grown man. I tweaked his nose and made a funny little sound, as if he were a cute child, and I have no idea where the impulse to do it came from. I do know that the next impulse I had, which I did manage to suppress, was the impulse to kiss him. Best of all, she’s created a plausible and satisfying fix-it for the show’s sucker-punch ending.

Fandom: MUTANT X
Character(s): Brennan Mulwray, Jesse Kilmartin, Lexa Pierce, Shalimar Fox Author on LJ:nizlailiAuthor Website: Fanfiction.net ProfileWhy this must be read:This is a brilliantly written AU of the episode " No Exit", one of my favourite Mutant X episodes. Also, it holds a lot of Jesse angst, and well it's just good to hurt Jesse sometimes! Laily's Jesse and Brennan are fantastic and very in character. Do Read This.. but beware, it has a Major Character's Death in it. ( Excerpt )Shining Star | | |

Fandom: Mutant X
Character(s): All, including an OC Author on LJ: purenightshadeAuthor website: Keverynn.netWhy this must be read:
Purenightshade writes interesting stories. They're funny, witty and put a lot of thought in them. Alternative Angel is set in either season 1 or 2 of Mutant X and it's practically about a tele-cyber Mutant and a friendship of Jesse and someone on the internet. ( Excerpt )Alternative Angel | | |

Fandom: SANDMAN Pairing: Desire/Despair (kind of) Author on lj: spykeravenAuthor Website: Spyke Raven's iconoclasmsWhy the fic must be read:What always facinated me most about the series was the Endless. What were they? How did they interact? In the series their relationships were always compared to Dream, so this story is really facinating, because it examines the dynamics from Desire's point-of-view. This is just a really interesting look at how and why Desire cannot live without Despair. Despair | | |
