Why this must be read:

Oh my god it's gorgeous.

Believe me, I am not overstating this story in the least when I say it's gorgeous. It's technically part of a series, but can stand on it's own (in fact I have yet to read the rest of this series) as a really incredible character examination. The writing is just stunning, the characterizations are just sharply gorgeous. Vala is a damn difficult character to write with a suggestion of darkness and pathos hidden behind quick wit and quicker fingers. Here she's all that Vala should be and then some. Her view of the world around her, the people she's getting to know (and love) in the SGC is just breathtaking.

It's one that's not to be missed.

01:12 am If Wishes Were Cell Phones, by Doomcrayon (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Gen - cylons
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] doomcrayon

Why this must be read:
This is crack in its purest form - unadulterated awesomeness. It's a gen humor piece that strikes to the heart of what it means to be a cylon - and who God loves more, Boomer or Six. Basically this is too, too funny, and if you like humor at all you really should read it!

12:25 pm Distance Enough, by Claira (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: Kara/Lee
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stars_like_dust
Author Website: Starslikedustdotcom

Why this must be read:
This is a painful look at the distance between Kara and Lee at the end of Season 2 - written post-Crossroads and before Season three began. Claira describes the slow rebuilding of a friendship and the emergence of something more in a way that's honest and completely believable. The prose is just gorgeous, and Claira really has a handle on who Lee and Kara are, and how they act and react to one another. So go read!

03:31 pm The Family Way, by Verlaine (G)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] loyseofverlaine
Author Website: Verlaine's fiction is archived here.

Why this must be read:

Verlaine has written stories of more heft and impact. But sometimes it's nice to pause for dessert. To have a story that's light and sweet and just makes you grin.

This is one of those kinds of stories. It's also an mpreg. Yep, you read that right. It's a story about male pregnancy. And yet, Starsky and Hutch are so perfectly in character I can see this as canon. I sincerely wish they'd filmed it.

And you thought it couldn't happen to them. ;-)
