01:51 am Loved and Put Aside by Eigth Horizon (R)
Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: None, gen
Length: Med length, One Shot
Author on LJ: [personal profile] eighth_horizon   
Author Website: (or a link to where more of their fic is archived)
Why this must be read: Gekizetsu

OK, I'm rating this one R because it's actually fairly disturbing. Still an amazing fic though. Most of [personal profile] eighth_horizon 's work is a bit lighter, but this one fits in a bit better with the despair that seems to be rather prevalent in the current season. Very spot on characterization and a catching writing style. 

Author's Summary:  Sam and Dean think it's something they've seen before. It's not.

So go read!

Why this must be read:

A fine Gen story that's a good introduction into the Jim and Artie dynamic: Jim does something noble and gets into trouble, Arte rescues his sorry ass, snarking all the while. Also features Disguised!Artie, my favorite Artemus.

One note---these stories are in PDF files.

12:34 pm Le Chatelier’s Principle by Daasgrrl (NC-17)
Hello, I'm [livejournal.com profile] semirose and this month House is taking away my driving virginity. I'm a Chase girl, so you'll be seeing a lot of him this month, but don't worry within that you'll be seeing a wide range so hopefully it won't get boring.

Fandom: HOUSE
Pairing: Chase/Wilson, House/Wilson
Length: 8,900 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] daasgrrl
Author Website: newer and older fic
Why this must be read: The title of this fic is what first drew me in, as a chemistry major I immediately saw how this could be perfect with these characters (plus it's a lot more fun when Le Chatelier’s Principle is applied to characters rather than chemicals), all about pushing and pulling and changing a variable to throw the equilibrium out of whack and see how it goes back into equilibrium and we all know just how easily that happens on House.

In addition to the all too perfect title and premise, it's hot. Now I like PWPs just fine when I'm in the mood, but most of the time I like my porn with a side of plot and excellent characterization and [livejournal.com profile] daasgrrl delivers on this. They dynamics in the relationships between all three of them are so in tune with the moments from the show that we are shown, and even though Chase/Wilson is the primary pairing, you cannot involve the two of them without bringing in House.

01:31 pm A Room for the Night by Taliesin (NC-17)
 Fandom: THE WILD WILD WEST
Pairing: Jim/Artie
Length: approx 20,000 words
Rating: N17

Author Website: The Depot

Why this must be read:

My first slash rec is by Taliesin, a long-time WWW and Man From UNCLE writer. Her UNCLE/WWW crossover was in fact previously recced here on [community profile] crack_van. She's also the publisher of the main zine in the fandom Gentlemen Never Tell, which will publishing it's 10th issue later this spring.

This is a first time story, a first meeting story (something the canon doesn't provide) and a spin on the old fanfic cliche of "sharing a bed".
Also a good example of the historical accuracy the fan writers strive for (that the shows writers often didn't!) --- Taliesin has clearly done research on frontier hotels!

09:17 pm Outflanked by Pat (G)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: none
Length: approx 10,000 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Blackraptor M7 Fiction  
Why this must be read: 
 
This story is part of the Little Britches (ATF) Universe, where JD and Vin are orphaned children 5, and 7 respectively who find a home with Chris Larabee and Buck Wilmington, and their friends Ezra Standish, Nathan Jackson and Josiah Sanchez forming The Magnificent Seven. 

In a lot of stories, we usually see Ezra as a more distant part of the Seven, one that is not always fully accepted. This story is a brillant part of the LB universe where we get to experience bonding between Ezra and the two boys. The boys show Ezra through the innocent ideas of children that he does have a permanent place in their group.
