09:28 am Eroding Away the Mountains by abyssinia4077 (PG)
Hello all. I'm [livejournal.com profile] 6beforelunch and I've been kindly permitted to be your SG1 driver for this month. Expect het and gen with a focus on various characters and pairings. :)

Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: none (Sam and Daniel friendship)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077
Author Website: Masterlist of Fanfiction
Why this must be read: When I found out that [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077's wonderful fic had yet to be reced here, I got excited. Eroding Away the Mountains became a favorite the first time I read it and I've only grown to love it more since. This is a lovely story that focuses on Sam and Daniel, a friendship that seems sadly neglected by fandom sometimes. [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077 fleshes out the course of their friendship beautifully. The story spans the first five seasons, from the awkwardness of first getting to know each other to the development of a comfortable friendship to Sam's agonizing loss in Meridian. Beautiful characterization is married with a wonderful interweaving of canon events that takes the reader on an emotional journey and makes you feel, at the end, Sam's grief at the events of Meridian.

Quick Driver's Note: I'm back, driving the BSG crack van this month! I've got several fics picked out that run the gamut, but once again, I tend to be character focused and that's what I'll be sharing! I hope everyone enjoys. :)

**************************************

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Helo/Athena
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] teh_no
Author Website: None that I can see. Fic seems to be tagged at [livejournal.com profile] teh_no.
Why this must be read:

This is a short piece which captured an amazing amount of depth in a few words. It really details the difficulties that lay inherent in a cross-species relationship. Beautifully written, the story unfolds in a brief moment of intimacy, leaving the reader aware of the sheer amount of history that exists between Helo and Athena, even as the two protagonists are trying to figure out what future they still have.

This is also an incredible look at Karl "Helo" Agathon. The man was willing to risk everything for a member of the enemy… yet, he still doubts.

Author's Summary: Helo has gotten used to Sharon in Boomer's body. Now he gets used to Sharon in Athena's body.

07:38 pm What Kind of Love by Limlaith (PG13)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: Chris/Ezra OW
Author on LJ:Unknown
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:

This is my second turn at reccing the fandom, but there are just so many wonderful authors, AU's and fics out there that one attempt is never going to be enough :) This month I'll be trying to rec my favourite stories from my favourite authors rather than trying to give an overview of the fandom.

Limlaith is a very good writer of both gen and slash fic. She varies the pairing and the AU so there's always something unique about her fic. 'What Kind of Love' is a fic that writes from the pov's of the two characters involved. The author brings in wonderful character thoughts, very much in tune with how I see them and creates an atmosphere that can make you believe you're there. This fic hits all my markers.

09:32 pm Miscellaneous Johnny Depp movies: An Overview
Hi, I'm Mojave Dragonfly and I'm driving the van this month for fandoms so small, I have to combine them into something called Miscellaneous Johnny Depp movies.

The incomparable Johnny Depp: sexy, youthful, vulnerable, outsider. And how we love him! His movies, however, rarely inspire fervent, active fandoms. According to IMDB, he has starred in nearly forty movies, and that's not even counting 21 Jump Street, the TV show that launched his career into superstardom.

Some of us (show of hands!) make it a goal to see every one of his movies, and a few of us write fanfiction for a few of his movies. This month I will give you recommendations for stories, some of which are not only good recs, but the only story I know of in existence for that movie. *g*

Obviously, PotC is exempt. The popularity of Mr. Depp's pirate movies is the exception that proves the rule that his movies don't inspire fandoms. Another exception is Once Upon A Time in Mexico, a modestly-sized fandom that I gave recs for once before.

The movies I will be reccing stories for, if you want to study up, are:

Benny and Joon

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Edward Scissorhands

From Hell

Nick of Time

Ninth Gate

Secret Window

Sleepy Hollow

09:54 pm I'm Not the Man They Think I Am At Home by zahra (PG)
Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Nathan Petrelli/Peter Petrelli
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hackthis
Author Website: dysfunctional.
Why this must be read:

Hello, I'm Pouncer, and I'm piloting the Heroes Crack Carpet this month. I'm fond of a variety of characters and pairings, gen, het, and slash, so my recommendations will be a bit of a potpourri of what's available in the fandom. First up, we have a wonderful look at the brothers Petrelli. Peter gets in trouble, and of course Nathan has to get him out of it. It's intimate and caring and rife with meaning, all the way through, the type of familiarity you only get with family and old, old friends (and the corresponding aggravation).

"Some random junkie hooker is not your problem," Nathan said gruffly as the light changed again.

"Yes, she is!" Peter protested hotly. "Everyone is everyone else's problem, why don't you see that? We're all in this together!"

"We are not all in this together," Nathan slammed his hand on the steering wheel, making the horn blare briefly. "For the love of god stop acting like you're the second coming and take care of yourself!"

"So you don't have to," Peter said quietly. "Is that what you mean?"
