12:13 am The Long Lost Memory Affair by bluestocking (PG-13)
fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
pairing: Illya/Other
author LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hellblazer06
author website: ninemuses
why this must be read:

The idea for me was when I had my turn of reccing MFU fics on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van, was that I'd find some fic writers who hadn't been recced on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van for MFU yet, or sporadically recced. It's not as easy as it looks.

But, in the middle of all the choas that's in my head and on my computer, there's this one. This is one brilliant fic that deals with the friendship between Illya and Napoleon and we get a glance of Illya's past.

If you're one for hurting Illya, this is one fic to read.

12:23 am I Don’t Like You by HiFalootin (G)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: a little bit of Julie/Wilson, but mostly gen
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hi_falootin
Author Website: just the livejournal!
Why this must be read:

I read I Don’t Like You at the beginning of the month and knew that I wanted to rec it at some point. It uses quotes pulled from Amy Sedaris’ cookbook I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence to set up a series of drabbles about House, Wilson, and Julie. [livejournal.com profile] hi_falootin lends each drabble a humor that's got a little bit of bite to it. I also really like how Julie is characterized. The author manages to make her interesting and real in a few brief sketches.

12:46 am Spy Games by Periwinkle (NC17)
fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
pairing: Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo
author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] periwinkle27
author website: none (yet)
why this must be read:

Maybe I'm a little biased for reccing this fic, but I've had the chance to proof-read this. No, not beta this fic, but proof-read (my grammar skills aren't brilliant). To see if it works, and I can tell you, this works!

periwinkle is a fantastic writer, and has a great sense of humor even when she doesn't try to write humor. The story made me smile. Spy Games is a fabulous story  and it's hard to write a decent review because I am so tempted to spoil the whole story, you'll just have to read it.

Spy Games is not one of periwinkle's 'fun/farce' fics, and it's ingenious, serious, hot and absolutely brilliant.

This story originated in the comment thread on [livejournal.com profile] mfuwss where you can find a shorter version of this fic if you know where to look.

I am so glad that periwinkle posted this fic before the end of this month, because I really wanted to rec this.

09:30 am Five Things That Never Happened to Connor Hawke by Re White (R)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairings: Connor Hawke/various (Connor/Roy, Connor/Eddie Fyers, Connor/Jason/Tim.) But there's also the ands, Connor and Steph, Connor and Cissie.
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] re_white
Author Website: http://re-white.livejournal.com
Why this must be read: I want to say something lofty and eloquent about how Connor Hawke is a fascinating character with a lot of potential and how Re White rang these five changes on him in an absolutely beautiful way, but you know what? I read Maybe it’s strange to think of his city as a very dangerous kind of smile aimed at his throat, but he does, and the story took me by the throat and pulled me in, made me cry and delighted me utterly.

11:02 am Three Ways We Never Met by lordess renegade (NC-17)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lordessrenegade
Author Website: cosmic debris
Why this must be read: I love the "# Ways They Never" meme; it was an utterly brilliant invention, and this take on it by [livejournal.com profile] lordessrenegade is a glorious example: it gives us a triptych of Gibbs and DiNozzo as they could have been, and each version of them is utterly familiar, while still managing to be unpredictably different. What a fantastic read.

11:14 am Campfire Law by notpoetry (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE: ATLANTIS
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] notpoetry
Author Website: SGA Fics in Memories
Why this must be read: This is one of the relatively new stories I've decided to rec, because in my opinion everyone needs a gloriously comic AU to brighten their day. You don't get much more gloriously comic than this wonderful confection by [livejournal.com profile] notpoetry, in which the SGA boys turn into hormone-ridden teens, working for peanuts at summer camp. Much pigtail pulling and inter-camp rivalry ensues. *happy sigh*
