This is my final rec of the month; I do hope you've enjoyed the mix of stories I've given you this month. Fandom: NCIS Pairing: Leroy Jethro Gibbs/Donald 'Ducky' Mallard and Abigail Sciuto/Timothy McGee Author on LJ: sageharperAuthor Website: Spectrum HeadquartersWhy this must be read: Why would anyone break into Gibbs's home in the middle of the night? Why is Abby sleeping in Gibbs's spare room? Why is Ducky staying with Gibbs and cooking supper? The Things We Do For Love will answer all these questions and more. It is romantic comedy at its best. It is a lovely balance of emotions, humour, romance, friendship, affection, love and togetherness. There are so many wonderful lines, some great characterisation, and two couples who are happily and clear in love. If you enjoy in character, non-slap-stick humour that's heavy with affection, this story is for you. ( Extracts ) The Things We Do For Love | |

Fandom:BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003) Pairing:Kara/Lee Author on LJ: latteaddictAuthor website: Fic archive on ff.net Why this mustbe read: This story goes AU from the season 2 finale. After Kara is in an accident, her memory of her relationship to Lee changes life for many people on Galactica. Lee finally gets a glimpse of Kara's love, and he has to decide how to navigate the new connection between them. A multi-chapter epic, with several delightful twists in the plot, this one of my favorite Kara/Lee stories for everything including romance, angst and yummy hot smut. Forty minutes later, Lee was outside Kara’s room, being held back by his father.
“She’s alright, isn’t she?” Lee was starting to panic at the strange look his father and Cottle were exchanging.
Cottle spoke. “Physically she’s a hundred percent healthy. She has a constitution as stubborn as her attitude.”
Lee put it together immediately. If her body was strong, that only left possible damage to her brain. That was completely unacceptable. Starbuck was supposed to be a handful. Difficult, annoying, strong, opinionated; the list went on.
Bill took Lee to the side. “She seems fine, except for one thing.” He paused and took a deep breath. “Lee. Kara keeps asking for her husband.”
The breath whooshed out of Lee’s lungs. Her husband? Did she and Sam actually get married? Lee’s mind raced to the last conversation they had. “Sam’s asked me to marry him,” and, “I haven’t said yes.”
No, no, they couldn’t be married. Unless maybe she’s confused and thinks that they are.
“Have you sent for Anders yet?” Lee tried to keep his voice even. He was dying to go in and see her, but her needs were to come first.
“No, I thought you might want to see her first.” Bill hesitated and gave Lee a direct look. “I don’t think she’s referring to Anders, son.”More at the link below... Memories of You ch 1-21 | |

Fandom:BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003) Pairing:Kara/Lee Author on LJ: latteaddictAuthor website: Fic archive on ff.net Why this mustbe read: This fic is so hot and so angsty! A pre-series AU story where Kara and Lee share a glorious, anonymous one-night stand while in school that has insanely hot and guilty repercussions for years to come when they meet again later and Kara is now engaged to Lee's brother. While Zak was rummaging around Kara's kitchen, Lee went to the bathroom to clean up. As he stepped out he could see into the bedroom, and a photograph of his brother caught his eye. Ah, so this must be Kara. Lee stepped in and picked up the photo and literally stopped breathing. His world collapsed in on itself. Right before his eyes in full colour was the woman he's been regretting and missing and wanting and trying to forget for years. Kara. Kara, her name is Kara. Lee knew she would have a beautiful name, just as beautiful as she was. That one perfect night flashed through his mind in a rush of images that only paused to emit a sigh or a moan. Zak! She was with Zak! Frak! The thought of Zak touching her made Lee feel nauseous with jealousy and possessiveness. Why did it have to be Zak? Or why did it have to be her? Never seeing her again would be preferable to losing her to his baby brother. Lee had to leave. He had to get out before she got here. Any excuse will do. He needed to gain control. Zak must never find out.
Voices pierced through his emotional nightmare. Too late, she was already here. Lee stood in the door frame and saw her. The moment felt surreal, like this wasn't even him, and there was no way this was happening. She looked different. A little older, more filled out and definitely more beautiful. Her hair was golden, her skin so pale, and the mouth that has set fire to every inch of his skin was currently kissing his brother. He took a deep breath and set his face to an unemotional mask. He stood there until the lovers took notice that they weren't alone.For more... Guilty Hearts ch 1-4 | |

Fandom:BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003) Pairing:Kara/Lee Author on LJ: latteaddictAuthor website: Fic archive on ff.net Why this mustbe read: Set in season 2 after Kara's return to the fleet. She decides to make her move on Lee but they have mistrust and miscommunication galore to overcome before things can work out between them. Again, Latteaddict really excels at showing the strength of the emotion and desire between Kara and Lee, providing just enough obstacles to keep them in a delicious mixture of angst, frustration, romance and insanely hot tension. Lee blindly rushed through the corridors and found an empty storage room. Once inside he paced the centre of the room like a caged animal. Frustration erupted and exploded with his fist punching the bulkhead. Once, twice………three times.
He sank down against the cool metal wall and thumped the back of his head repeatedly. When he could only feel his self inflicted pain did he allow his mind to picture her, warm and willing, and everything he had ever wanted.
Five hours, five hours, if she had come to him like that five hours ago, they would be in love right now. He looked down to the still aching bulge in his pants and amended, no they would be making love right now.
Four and a half hours ago, Lee had gotten up to have a shower. He had had one of his nightmares again of losing Kara. It used to be in the raider and now it was her disappearing in the Blackbird. Covered in sweat he had needed to clean up and calm down.
What he didn't need was to hear some nuggets gossiping about an overheard conversation between Helo and Starbuck. What he didn't need to hear was that she had fallen for some resistance guy on Caprica. What he didn't need to know was that Kara seemed to give every other man she met a chance, except him.
Lee just sat there and thumped his head one more time for good measure.Timing Is Everything ch 1-10 | |

Fandom: THE SENTINEL Pairing: Jim and Blair Author on LJ: alibongoAuthor website: The Temple of the Sentinels Why this story must be read:
If the notion of Jim and Blair as fish in a bowl makes you turn away, resist the temptation! This is a lovely, silly, beautiful, touching gem of a story; an absolute delight.
This is my last rec this time around; I hope you love it.

I've had a great time driving the van this month, I wish I could stay. But I leave you with a heck of a fic. Fandom: BtVS Pairing: Giles/Buffy Author on LJ: koala1356Author's website: Koala's fic Why this must be read: Another season five retelling, the Unbreakable series picks up from "Into the Woods" and goes in a AU direction from there. Giles/Buffy lovers waited anxiously for over two years while Koala updated this series. Every part was worth the wait. Finally last year, she finished it and we all rejoiced. Keeping mostly to canon with the Giles/Buffy twist, Koala deftly weaves romance and angst with action and adventure. And don't forget to read the epilogue, it's gorgeous. Unbreakable Series | |

Fandom:BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003) Pairing:Kara/Lee Author on LJ: suffolkgirlAuthor website: Fic archive on ff.net Why this mustbe read: Set after the season 2 finale, and going AU from there, this story is a romance with a heavy side of angst and pain. In an insanely awesome way. Kara Thrace didn’t need Lee Adama any more.
She had seen to that. She’d built a new life for herself, down on this planet with Sam.
It hadn’t been an easy thing to do. She’d had to give up flying her Viper, and that had hurt more than she could ever express. But it had to be done. She’d needed to escape from that life, from Lee, from the twisted mess of their relationship, as much for his sake as her own.
So she had cut them both free. Free to be with other people, to be happy.
It had worked. She married Sam, he had Dee, and she was finally free of that desperate, sickening need for him; for his company, his friendship, his approval – his love.
She had Sam’s love now. She was the centre of his world. He never judged her, or challenged her, or pushed her to be anything different. He loved her and accepted her as she was, and she needed nothing more than that.
Certainly not Lee Adama.Lost and Found ch 1-15 | |

It's my final rec of the month. Hope you've enjoyed them. Fandom: due South Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio Author on LJ: ? Author website: ? Why this story must be read:Yep I am reccing a Christmas fic in March why? Because it's fun and different. It has Ray as a Shoemaker nad Fraser as an elf. What I love about that is that there is the canon line in 'The Deal' about the story 'The Elf and the Shoemaker' so it's nice to see it turned into an AU like this. It's just a very sweet AU fic with pleasant nods to canon. ( Excerpt )The Shoemaker and the Elf | |

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Seventh Doctor/Ace Author on LJ: lilly_rose Author Website: profile page at A Teaspoon and an Open Mind Why this must be read: First of all, this story's about the Seventh Doctor and Ace, possibly the best TARDIS team ever. And it's believable Seven/Ace, understated and bittersweet. It also connects nicely with the Tenth Doctor's "wither and die" speech in School Reunion. It's easy to think the Doctor was talking about Ace in that scene. Wither and Die | |
