12:02 am Boston Marriage by jae_w (PG)
Fandom: GILMORE GIRLS
Pairing: Rory/Paris
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jae_w
Author Website: jae_w's Gilmore Girls fic
Why this must be read:

I ship Rory with a lot of characters. Rory changes herself to suit whoever she's with- her mother, a love interest, the townies- her interactions are never static. Her relationship with Paris is one of the most challenging she's involved in, and Paris always demands that Rory test her boundaries (though Paris is awfully fond of her own). In Boston Marriage, she does so in an especially hilarious and Paris-like manner. This story is most immediately funny, but upon reading it a second time (and you will want to) the nuances of the ways the girls interact are striking in their detail and grace.

08:47 am Five Ways Gothamites Saved Themselves by Miarrow (PG)
Fandom: DC COMICS
Characters/Pairing[s]: Original characters, Gotham's heroes in passing
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] miarrow
Author Website: (or a link to where more of their fic is archived)
Why this must be read:

I have a soft spot for original characters, and for cities, and for unusual perspectives on events. With a light, deft touch, Miarrow crafted a Five Things story that beautifully combines these events to convey a real sense of life in gritty, gorgeous Gotham, and lets us know that Gotham's got many heroes who don't wear capes.

Mark Messier is adrift. Not in any sort of existential crisis, he's out of petrol and in a boat. This is a beautiful little (gen, the warning is for language) fic as Mark looks back on a day with his best friend.

There is a little tinge of, not exactly sadness not exactly loss and not exactly regret but something that is a little bit like all of them together - but only a little bit - to this fic. A little hint that there was more and both guys know that that particular part of their lives is over. It's beautiful though.

Excerpt: )

Beer and back roads and wide-eyed fanboys everywhere. Back when they were young, and ruled the world and everything in the world was pretty damn easy and perfect when your best friend was Wayne-F*ucking-Gretzky. You can read it here:
