Fandom: Prince of TennisPairing: AU: [Fudoumine] Tachibana An/Kamio Akira. Author: rabid_dangirlWebsite: n/a Rating: [PG13] Why this fic must be read: Mechanical writing techniques like prompt tables don't usually produce a very good standard of fiction, but this little story of one or two sentences based on a 50-word table is quite enjoyable. rabid_dangirl not only succeeds with a surprisingly rare piece in the PoT fandom, a het pairing, but manages to convey Tachibana An's spirit and sense of fun and the smitten Kamio's devotion with all the lightness and joy of adolescence. 50 Things Buchou Doesn't Know. | | |

Fandom: Samurai Champloo Pairing: Jin/Mugen, Fuu/Jin/Mugen Author on LJ: scribblemooseAuthor Website: http://www.scribblemoose.co.uk/ Why this must be read: Stuck in that shack by the sea, too injured to move much, Jin and Mugen start having sex and Fuu, still recovering from the traumatic events of the last arc of the series, catches them. Jealous, she leaves and the boys leave with her, splitting up at the crossroads in the last scene of the series. Two months later, the trio bumps into each other again. Sometimes you want angst, sometimes you want humor, and sometimes you just want a straightforward first-time story. Distance gives you two first-times for the price of one, and each one is sweet (albeit slightly twisted, because this is SC) in its own way. A lovely, satisfying story. Distance | | |

Frandom: Drake's venture Pairing: Thomas/Francis Author on lj: kerravongeniusAuthor's website: none that I know of Why this *must* be read: Again, this is very short (not that I'm doing it on purpose but in the fandom there are some ficlets that are outstanding). I can't beging to tell you how I felt after reading this. Maybe like I had been punched in the guts, hard? "S'en mordre les doigts" is a French expression that means that you regret something - too late. This is exactly what Doughtie experiences here. Poor Thomas! No exerpt (too short) A sport for gentlemen | | |

Fandom: Drake's venture Pairing: Thomas/Francis Author on lj: shimere277Author's website: Index of Shimere's ficsWhy this *must* be read: Among all the -mostly false- accusations against Doughtie, the one of being a sorcerer, able to conjure storms is one of the most surprising ones. What if he really *had* this power? It's the premise of the fic. Luckily Doughtie has not been executed, only whipped (probably). Now comes the moment when Drake's small fleet has to face the terrible tempests of the Magellan Straights. It's a very hot fic, and very clever. And you'll find an originality: it's rare enough that such a hot fic leaves one of the characters unsatisfied! The sex is quite... passionate. ( An exerpt )The tempest | | |

Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS Pairing: Gen with a touch of Anna/Nahum Author on LJ: spuffydudsAuthor Website: Fic collection tag on ljWhy this must be read: Anna! And a full measure of quirkiness and charm. Just posted in this year's Yuletide challenge, this story blew me away with its perfect, gentle humour. Anna returns from Bolivia to the "Theotre sons Argent," as typed with Geoffrey's old typewriter that turns a's into "circular blobs," and takes charge. The dialogue is fabulous, the details wonderful, and every character voice absolutely true. ( Excerpt: )Homing | | |

Fandom: GORGEOUS CARAT Pairing: Azura x Ray Author on LJ: Misura Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/~misuraWhy this must be read:A fascinating look at Ray's relationship with Azura starting in his youth and ending just before the manga's Morocco arc. The fragment method works perfectly in this story, giving glimpses of the boys as they grow up together and apart. Wonderfully written and absorbing with a nice blend of light and serious. 1001 Moroccan Nights | | |

Fandom: THE HISTORY BOYS Pairing: Posner/Dakin Author on LJ: foreverdirtAuthor Website: imperfectcircleWhy this must be read:I haven't gotten started on the History Boys yuletide fics for this year (bad reccer), but here's one of the best from last year's batch. Posner finally has sex with Dakin, and Scripps is treated to two somewhat conflicting versions of the event. It's wryly hilarious, with just a touch of the bittersweet. ( excerpt )The Longed-For Moment | | |

Fandom: CRIMINAL MINDS Pairing: Elle/Hotch Author on LJ: yohoheartieAuthor Website: Captain's LogWhy this must be read:Because it's brief but powerful, and imagines one twisted way Hotch and Elle could cope with the aftermath of their jobs. It meant nothing. He made that clear the first time. And though he never said it, she knew what he meant—she meant nothing. It wasn’t what you’d call a torrid affair, not in the traditional sense. It wasn’t their feelings for each other that were passionate, but the feelings of anger, regret, and disgust that clung to them after a case.Nothing | | |

Fandom: CRIMINAL MINDS Pairing: none Author on LJ: tsiankiioAuthor Website: The Bessemer ProcessWhy this must be read:Because it's Reid trying to make his way back to stable ground, after Revelations and Ashes and Dust. Gideon is there, and they have a lovely, elliptical conversation spiraling around all the things they can't say. This story manages to tie in Reid's past and his present, all from the perspective of Gideon, who isn't necessarily an objective narrator in this case. “You really didn’t have to come out here,” said Reid.
“I know,” replied Gideon. “I did anyway. Though you might not want to mention that to Garcia. I think she thinks we’re out here solving some vast conspiracy or maybe just fighting super villains. She said something about you being her favorite Robin,” Gideon trailed off.
“Wait, Garcia’s favorite Robin is Stephanie Brown. She’s a girl and she’s dead! If I’m going to be Robin, I think I’d like to survive the adventure.”Childish Things | | |
