10:43 am Let's Play Two by Brynnmck (PG-13)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: None. Gen.

Why this must be read: The appeal of Supernatural is almost completely in the relationship between the two brothers. In this piece (her first in the fandom), [livejournal.com profile] brynnmck captures both the snark and the deep but often exasperated love between Sam and Dean deftly and with great style.

There's a entire fanon about Dean's love of baseball and I really think this is the best of them, combining the author's genuine and discernable love of the game with Dean's in a way that feels genuine and deep. Better still, she runs the POV through Sam, giving us a window into Dean's joy that we otherwise wouldn't be able to see.

Go. Read. And please remember to leave the author feedback.

02:26 pm If Not, Winter, by Olga_Theodora (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Adama/Roslin
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] olga_theodora
Author Website: Metanoia

Why this must be read:
This is my all-time favorite Adama/Roslin stories! It's set after the Season 2 finale, so there's nothing if Season 3. Olga does a fantastic job establishing the complicated, adult relationship between the Admiral and the President, and she also fleshes out background characters to great effect. This is a love story but it's also a story of resistance and friendship and wartime. If Not, Winter is long and incredibly satisfying. Olga is a really fantastic writer and she does great justice to this pairing and this story. Plus there's an epilogue and then a vignette in the same universe!

Excerpt:
On the day the Cylons invaded New Caprica, several important things happened: the union went on strike, an early spring flower bloomed too soon, and Laura Roslin discovered she was pregnant.

If Not, Winter (Link is to final part, with links to all previous parts)
