04:46 pm Worlds in Conjunction by Marylane (Teen)

Hello, everyone -- I'm [livejournal.com profile] butterfly and I'll be driving Doctor Who this month. Now, I'm primarily a New Who girl and I'm a big Rose fan, so the focus of my recs will be on the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, but I have had the chance to see all the other Doctors, so I won't be forgetting them over the course of the month!

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Doctor/Rose

Why this must be read:

The summary for the story is 'The Doctor makes a slight miscalculation.' Very understated words for what is an incredibly powerful story about the depth of loss and love. There are casting spoilers for season three of Doctor Who, and vague plot spoilers for Doomsday, but the emotion of the story is centered around a pre-Doomsday Rose and she's written strongly here. There's a light element of suspense that remains until the end -- it's a very well-written story and I was sorry not to be able to locate anything else that the author might have written.

05:30 pm Good bye, Fare Thee Well, Toodle-oo by Bernice (R)
Hey guys! I'm back again for another turn running the Hogwarts Express. In honor of the new year, I wanted to do a month of stories that made me think of a character in a new light, or stories that came up with a truly original idea. So to start off, I give you...

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: None

Author Website: iiBNF Press
Why this must be read:

Bernice is known for her interesting characterizations of Snape, and this story is no exception. Lucius Malfoy is sentenced to the Kiss, and Snape won't let him die alone. It's a brilliant story about the kind of quiet heroism everyone needs but no one gives credit for.

10:12 pm Cakes and Ale by Torch (R)
Fandom: FROM EROICA WITH LOVE
Pairing: Klaus/Dorian
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] flambeau
Author Website: the flambeau factory
Why this must be read:

Klaus has a bit too much to drink and wakes up in bed with Dorian the next morning. The rest of the story is Klaus steadfastly trying to forget what he knows happened. The story is fun and interesting, as we inch slowly closer to discovering what happened between them.

10:24 pm The Frozen Heart by Shay Sheridan (PG)
I couldn't find an actual rating for this fic, so I've given it a ballpark rating myself.

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: RayK/Fraser, Fraser/others
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] shayheyred
Author Website: Chez Shay
Why this must be read:

This is the story of Fraser's life, told in fairy tale form. A little boy from the North goes on a quest to find the key to his heart. It's absolutely lovely, and all of the characters on the show are recognizeable in their fairy tale alter egos.

11:25 pm Ages of Beauty by Ren (G)
Hello, my name is Anita, and I'll be your Man from U.N.C.L.E [livejournal.com profile] crack_van driver for this month. I'm a total slash-a-holic but I'll try to find some GEN fics too, I promise! *evil grin*


Fandom: Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Characters: Illya Kuryakin / Napoleon Solo
Author LJ: [livejournal.com profile] feenixandashes
Author Website: none

This must have been one of the first U.N.C.L.E. fics I've ever read (read: last year) and it just stuck with me. I have a soft spot for old geezers and Ren writes them very well. Like her other fics, Ren has a very poetic way of writing, and it's safe to say that it's brilliantly beautiful.

Ages of Beauty has Napoleon and Illya in a long term relationship, with Napoleon describing his Illya when he's 75.

Go give it some love!
