Fandom: SMALLVILLE Pairing: Gen Author's LJ: bexlessAuthor's website: Bexless' Strange DelightsWhy this must be read: It's hard to imagine that people wouldn't have noticed weird things about Clark when he was younger - especially his friends. Pete, who has always been shown as Clark's friend through thick and thin, not only sees his strange abilities, but also helps him out in this cute fic. I love bexless's style, and even though some of my favorites of her fic are Clark/Lex, this is hilarious and sweet. ( an excerpt ) Super Bullet Sneeze | |

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH Pairing: Starsky/Hutch Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: unknown Why this must be read:What a gorgeous story! I can't believe this is the author's first, and only, foray into Starsky and Hutch. Just when you think this story is going to dive into the predictable, it wrenches you into an entirely new emotional place: If you ask Starsky, he believes Simard is right. Ordering him to live, sounds like the kind of thing Hutch would do. But, Starsky doesn't really talk about it. Neither does Hutch. They both seem reluctant to look at this event too closely. It wasn't the first time, not by a long shot, that they'd skated right up to the edge of the abyss and looked down. But, it was the first time one of them had actually lost his footing.
So, they've grown up a little more. They know the price of the gift now, and they've felt the terror of free-fall. They both know the clock will run out someday. Hopefully, not for a long time. But it will. So, they'd just as soon not tamper with the works, because for now, it's running just fine.
Besides, when you're the stuff that legends are made of, you don't think about falling.
You just fly.I SO hope this author got the feedback he/she deserved so we can get more of this beautiful writing... Night Falls Forever | |

Fandom: TOUR OF DUTY Pairing: Sergeant Zeke Anderson/Captain Rusty Wallace Author on LJ: majorbratAuthor Website: Notes From the UndergroundWhy this is a must read: Although Sergeant Zeke Anderson and Lieutenant Myron Goldman are by far the most popular pairing, there is a whole platoon of fantastic looking guys in Tour of Duty to have fun with. Before Myron came to Vietnam, there was Captain Rusty Wallace and it's easy to see some chemistry between him and Zeke Anderson. “An Unexpected Meeting” is a wonderfully lusty romp that pairs up Zeke and Rusty. Major Brat does an excellent job of writing two big, good-looking guys getting it on. It's raunchy, rough-and-tumble, and totally hot soldier sex (and inspired by an actual account from a Vietnam vet about a bar in Vietnam much like “The Bull Pen.”) An Unexpected Meeting by Major Brat | |

Fandom: FARSCAPE Pairing: John/Aeryn Author on LJ: n/a (as far as I know) Author Website: Lillie on TerraFirmaWhy this must be read: John and Aeryn aren't a generally sweet couple, so it's nice once in a while to see something with them that is nice and fluffy. Lillie does a great job here of keeping them completely in character. It's a lovely, short read. Learning Curve | |

Fandom: Card Captor Sakura Character/Pairing: Yamazaki/Chiharu, Sakura/Syaoran, Eriol/Tomoyo Author on LJ: obakesanWhy this must be read:Yamazaki is possibly the most criminally underused character in the CCS series. Tin makes up for this, a little bit, by writing a fic in which Yamazaki teaches sex-ed. Given his propensity for making stuff up, you can imagine the results...! The explanations he gives would be hilarious to anyone, even those unfamiliar with the series. "Indeed, ladies and gentlemen," he continued into the stunned silence. "Which means, following my logic, that if you were to enact this Position, you and your partner have to be Sixty-Nine Degrees apart."
The class boggled.
"Is that--is that even _possible?" Syaoran asked. "I mean, how the hell do they do that? I mean, I like math and all but... I mean..."
Yamazaki smirked. "Obviously, Li-kun," he drawled, "they use a--" And he whipped out something from his jacket. "--PROTRACTOR!" He slammed said object on the blackboard with happy force. Everyone jumped. Even Eriol looked nervous. The Yamasutra | |

Fandom: HOUSE, M.D. Characters: House [Gen!] Author on LJ: treacle_aAuthor Website: TreacleficWhy this must be read:House doesn't like dogs. With that one premise, this fic develops a whole new side of House by showing his reactions to a stray dog that settles itself in front of his apartment. This is House: zero tolerance, zero patience, always after an interesting puzzle, and not quite entirely heartless. Look forward to tight writting and sharp insights. As a side-note, this was written before the episode in which House took on Hector. ( Excerpt. )Dog House | |

Fandom: NCIS. Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo Author on LJ: crimsonquillsAuthor Website: Crimson Quills Why this must be read: The story is by one of my favorite writers. She's wonderful at capturing the characters and writing stories about them. This is not one of her hotter stories (which I adore) but the premise is very intriguing: People are sending Tony 'congratuations' cards and he has no idea why. Here's the opening paragraph: Tony really should have known better than to expect to have a normal day at work. If the jewel thieves and transgendered men--women?--hadn't convinced him of that, the mummified bodies and treasure maps and not-quite-alien encounters should have. But despite just over five years of experience, there were still times when he stepped off the elevator feeling like he had a handle on things. Like he was prepared.Not Quite an Anniversary | |

Fandom: THE SENTINEL Pairing: Jim/Blair Author on LJ: rhianneAuthor Website: Hidden MuseWhy this must be read: I like this story because the author acknowledges that in the real world, Jim wouldn't be able to go back to work and have the world forget about the Sentinel story. How would Jim deal with it and with the guilt of knowing he's ruined Blair's life...even if Blair doesn't see it that way. ( Excerpt )When One Door Closes | |
