07:26 am Let Him be Righteous Still by Trollprincess (PG-13)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] trollprincess
Author's website: none. fic in memories

Why this must be read:
Some may quibble about what sort of a parent he was, but there's none I think will argue that John Winchester isn't nine types of bad-ass.

So when the Man in Black himself writes a song about Revelations and the Apocalypse, with lines like There's a man / goin' round / taking names, it's perhaps inevitable that the fandom-affected brain would turn, naturally, to John, self-made hunter and father of hunters. This fic works like a prose soundtrack to accompany the song - a verbal montage of John Winchester doing what he does best.

He doesn't ride a pale horse, but if you're an evil son of a bitch, death sure as hell follows with him.

01:41 pm Biology Lessons by tobywolf13 (PG-13)
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Chloe
Author on LJ [livejournal.com profile] tobywolf13
Author Website: Smallville Tag
Why this must be read: The author rocks at rapid fire dialogue and that is what a lot of this story is along with a good amount of human science vs being an alien. A very thought provoking character piece on Clark that touches on subjects the show rarely does.

Author's Synopsis - Clark's experiences as the only alien in Biology class with Chloe along for the ride. Chlark friendly.

04:06 pm Falling by rose_griffes (PG)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Kara/Leoben
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rose_griffes
Author Website: none listed
Why this must be read:

A mixture of the grounded and the surreal, as befits a fic that includes Leoben Conoy as one of its stars, Falling is full of backstory for and insight into Kara Thrace. With the same disjointed feel as the episode Maelstrom, this fic will draw you in and leave you wondering and wanting more. Not to mention keep you thinking about it long after you’ve finished reading.

04:41 pm The Interview by Auntie Hill (G)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing:

Author on LJ:
Unknown
Author's Website: Welcome to Hillsville!

Why this must be read:
Blair is very old and Jim is gone. A very short, very sweet, beautiful, heartbreaking story.

09:54 pm Promised Land by Tassos (PG)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: none/gen; Chiana
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tassosss
Author Website: n/a
Why this must be read:

This ficlet is a wonderfully rich look at Chiana post-Peacekeeper Wars (spoilers, naturally). Tassos has a deft hand, balancing spare and bleak emotion against the hope of a lush, evocative setting in classic Farscape tradition. And the conversation between Aeryn and Chiana is just so perfectly right that it should have been a filmed scene in the miniseries.

10:31 pm VID REC: Farscape - Gravity
Please pardon the early rec; I'm off to ComicCon and will not have a chance to post on Friday. :)

Vidder: Chasa
Musical artist: John Mayer
Pairing: John Crichton/Aeryn Sun
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] chasarumba
Vidder's website: DearOne.net
Why this vid kicks ass:

Chasa has perfectly matched artist, song & source material to create the quintessential Terra Firma vid (spoilers through mid-season 4). The wistful acoustic sound & pensive lyrics reflect the melancholy mood of the episode and its emotional fallout - what if you *can* go home again, but can't stay? And what happens when you find love, and lose it, but then have a second chance - once bitten, twice shy?

11:03 pm Some By Virtue Fall by Nestra (R)
Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: House/Wilson
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nestra
Author Website: Nestra's Pantheon
Why this must be read:

I'm a sucker for good smut. Sadly, many writers in the House fandom seem to shy away from it. This short story by [livejournal.com profile] nestra has a warm place in my heart for not avoiding the sex and for attempting to deal with House's disability instead of just ignoring it. I'm not a stickler for that kind of thing, but when it shows up and it's done well, it's a real pleasure to read.

11:24 pm Sir by misslucyjane (PG 13)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Ianto/Jack
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] misslucyjane
Author Website: Minorblue.net
Why this must be read:

Jack and Ianto, described in fragments. It’s a beautiful story, funny with some sadness added and some really great Jack/Ianto banter. It doesn’t ignore Jack’s flirty nature and the fact that he never stays too long with a person. But it doesn’t turn Ianto into a lovesick teenager who doesn’t want anything more than Jack’s love either. Still, it manages to paint a very positive picture of Jack, Ianto and their relationship.
