09:43 am Sleep Good, by Mercutio [PG]
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Chris/Lance
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bard_mercutio
Author Website: Mercutio's Stories
Why this must be read:

Chris has turned into a cat. As is quite normal for popslash, there is no explanation, it's just another day in the life of a boybander, and after the initial surprise, he's pretty much fine with it. Then Lance comes back from Russia, and wants Chris, and Chris isn't there. I love the Cat!Chris voice, and there's something completely appealing about this whole story.

01:43 pm Dogged Determination by Rhonda Lake (NC-17)
Fandom: X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Stories by Rhonda Lake (the actual home page of her site no longer works)
Why this must be read:

This was one of the first long (again) MSR fics I read. I loved it because it was so intricate, and so very in-character. Rhonda's original characters are great as well and really add to the story. She has a nice story-telling style: simple and easy, but with humor and fun twists.

Dogged Determination has many parts to it; it is considered a series. It gives some great insight into Mulder and the relationship that develops between M&S is both tender and really amusing because of the certain third party that helps them 'get together'. It's a great action (case) novel as well.

To get to the series, simply scroll down the page.

11:20 pm Lesser Angels by Sarah531 (PG-13)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Mickey/Reinette

Why this must be read:

Shortly after The Girl in the Fireplace aired there was a rush of AU's which featured Reinette travelling in the TARDIS, this is my favourite story of that genre. The characterisation of everyone, especially Reinette is superb. And the interactions between the TARDIS crew are very believable. Rose, alternatley jealous and kind towards Reinette, the Doctor oblivious, Mickey falling for Reinette while still being more than a little in love with Rose.

This fic makes Mickey/Reinette seem not only plausible, but one of the best ideas fandom never had.


The door, which was metal, started to dent.

"I'm sorry, Reinette," Mickey said hopelessly. "I'm so so sorry."

"It is in no way your fault," said Reinette. She drew closer to him. "When I first met you," she said, "I thought you were another angel. A lesser one, but an angel nonetheless. I was wrong. You are merely human, as am I."

Mickey put his arms around her, hopelessly.

"I am not afraid of dying," Reinette said. "I just wish I had seen him, one more time."

Mickey didn't need to ask who. The door continued to dent and lose it's shape.

"I consider myself the most fortunate person to have ever lived- with the possible exception of one Rose Tyler," Reinette whispered. "To have an angel, to have the whole world, and to have you."

"What do you mean?"

"I love many men, and one angel. You are not an angel, but I love you. Understand?"

"...Yes." And he did, and he was scared, but he went and kissed her anyway- and wondered if he would have done so if they were not about to die.
