Why this must be read:

Isn’t it funny what one’s brain picks up to cuddle? I love this fic for so many reasons, but the moment when Jim fixes the window is perhaps my favorite.

“Emily was behind the counter, and Jim was standing at the front door, the sleeves of his dark sweater pushed up, glazing one of the small panes of glass in the door. Blair frowned. Had he broken it last night? He didn't remember doing that...but he had been upset. Maybe he'd closed the door too hard and shattered it. He felt a pang of guilt that he hadn't noticed. If the pane had been broken all night...they were lucky that someone hadn't come in and robbed the place.

"So, you just need to let this cure," Jim was saying, smoothing the last of the glaze with a careful finger. "It should take a day or two. Fortunately, I think the weather's supposed to be clear." He gathered the tools and turned, catching sight of Blair. "Hey, Chief," he said quietly.”

Why this must be read:
There's such a sense of vagueness to this. Hmm. That's not the right word. A sense of ... I can't find the right word to express exactly what I mean. But I like how that sense of vagueness leads to a gut punch. Short little story that hints at so much more. Nice.

09:35 am Not Some Romantical Encounter by Ana (NC-17)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Jayne/Simon, Jayne/Inara (both one-sided like whoa)
Length: about 2800
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ana_grrl
Author Website: anafic
Why this must be read:

Because Ana's Jayne-voice is extraordinary. Here he's thinking about how the crew has changed post-Miranda, and it is all plausible and wry and sad, but this is Jayne - introspection only lasts so long before his mind turns to, ah, other things. You could read it for either the character insights or the hot smut, but it's the way they fit together that make this such a nifty story.

I love how Daniel is fumbling his way through this and both Sam and Jack's reactions to his fumbling. It all seems very real. And I especially love the last line.

I did mention how bad I am at articulating why I like something, right?

Why this must be read:
There are a lot of stories that Vala tells about her past; who knows how many of them are actually true or if any of them are. She is always hiding behind her masks. I love this peek inside. This is so very plausible. Poor Vala.

The world building is very detailed and very vivid. It hurt to see them in pain. The crosses *hurt*. And Cameron's last comment? Made me cry. Lovely.

12:52 pm Strata by Kat Allison (NC-17)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Methos
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] katallison
Author Website: Kat Allison's Fiction

Why this must be read: Because it's a lovely exploration of characters. Methos has taken off again, as he is wont to do. But this time, Duncan tracks him down at the Grand Canyon, of all places. An established relationship fic, this one is much more than smut. It really gets into who these men are, the relationship dynamics, the struggle between these two, and what it means to be Immortal. Absolutely beautiful.

Excerpt: "The people who come here, the tourists ... " Methos reached down and rubbed the pad of one finger over the rough rock. When he lifted it, it was lightly dusted with sand. "This is what they are." He lifted the finger to his mouth, blew, and a few silicate particles glittered off into emptiness and disappeared. "And me?" He reached down again, this time scraping hard over the rock with a fingernail. It left a faint mark on the surface, the skin of the rock scraped away, and when Methos again lifted his finger, there was a pinch of grit under the nail. He flicked it out with his thumbnail and watched it scatter into space. "That's all."
