Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Pairing: no pairing, Chris, Vin Author on lj: unknown Author on website: Joan Curtin’s stories at Lady Angel Why this must be read: I like this story because has a lovely plot, great descriptions and it plays with two subjects commonly used in fanon. Vin’s past as a sniper and Peso irritable nature (which the author both credits to Painted Eyes as portrayed in "For Faith"). The characterizations works very well and it shows the strength and the depth of Chris and Vin’s relationship. ( He lay perfectly still, belly pressed flat against the cool rock )Read: Killing Time | |

Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: Joe/Methos, implied past Methos/Salzer Author Website: Story found at The Seventh-Dimension ArchiveWhy this must be read:Sometimes you just need something sweet and loving and (relatively) uncomplicated. This is an old favorite of mine, following Joe and Methos through the years as Methos slowly loses his secrets and drops his defenses to a loyal friend who has the potential to be so much more. Methos sighed, regretting his harsh words to this man. He bent, holding out his hand, careful to hold the other one back, ready to act as a solid surface for this man. "Let me help you."
"I'm all right!" Dawson insisted, eyeing him. "Don't you need to wash that or something? Or do you like leaving the blood stains behind for show?"
Methos' eyes narrowed, his heart began to race once more as he exposed his "injured" hand, ending the pretense. "You know." //How much do you know?//
Dawson nodded. "I had a feeling. The way Don talks about you." He glanced at the immortal's hand. "And now I know I'm right."Aftermath | |

Fandom: HIGHLANDER Pairing: Joe/Methos Author on LJ: jimpage363Author Website: A Sharp LeftWhy this must be read:At the end of Archangel, Duncan ran off crying incoherantly and left Joe and Methos to clean up the mess. This is what happened next. When Methos laid a hand on his brow, then chest, Joe's skin felt icy. "Damn. You're in shock. And I gave you alcohol! Some doctor I am."
"I figured it was a Victorian cure," Joe joked weakly, then trembled so violently that Methos thought he was convulsing.After Archangel | |

Fandom: Smallville Title: Yes, Virginia, There is a Superman Pairing: Chloe/Clark Author on LJ: carcassiAuthor Website: None that I can find but there is a list of fic hereWhy this must be read:OMG *melt* Seriously, there's always that one fic that someone writes that you just sit and melt over. It's not dark, it's not angsty, it's not all the things that normally catch us up and carry us off for the ride, the things we insist on to consider it a big deal. But not every fic needs to be and this fic embraces that. It absolutely picked me up and carried me off into an alternate future and left me going "Awwww..." at the end and it was so good? I felt zero guilt for the AWWWW afterward too. This one is just...*happy sigh* God, I love it. Yes, Virginia, There is a Superman | |

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL Pairing: gen Author on LJ: curtain__callAuthor Website: N/A Why this must be read:I'm not sure how to put into words what I think about this one. It's beautiful, if a little bleak, a look at a possible future where their life is more of the same, their rhythm set and where they have their routine down perfectly. A slow pace, a knack for saying a lot with just a few words... it really is just a lovely read. Best summed up in the author's words, so... ( Have an extract. )Clockwork | |

Fandom: THE X-FILES Pairing: Mulder/Scully Author on LJ: revelyAuthor Website: Revely's siteWhy this must be read: Revely's already been recced here twice before, but I just couldn't think of leaving this fic out. It's just beautifully written and characterized, so very evocative--it makes me hurt, but in a good way. This veers off into AU before Per Manum, so This Is Not Happening and DeadAlive haven't happened. Mulder wakes up in an Oregon hospital a year after he was taken; Scully brings their infant son Will with her to Bellefleur, and the three of them drive back home, getting used to each other and this new reality they're immersed in. It's both gorgeous and heartbreaking, the way Mulder and Scully dance around each other, still very certain of some things, but very uncertain of others. As they get closer to home, they get closer to each other, and finally start healing. ( Excerpt )The Unfinished Universe | |

Fandom: Smallville Title: Breathless and TruePairing: Lana/Chloe Author on LJ: nifra_idrilAuthor Website: Neon NightsWhy this must be read: omg. Why NOT?! Seriously, Chloe/Lana is one of my favorite f/f 'ships. Lana Lang is on her guard with every single man in her life, constantly working an angle, looking for something. But she never finds it and here, we get to see her working a different angle and this time? She's not on her guard, she's open and enjoying it and Chloe Sullivan gets to see what's really behind the facade that Clark fell in love with. This is a beautifully written story, hot, fun, the characterizations are amazing and seriously *excellent* Breathless and True | |
