Why this must be read:

Jack's a strong, resourceful guy, so used to control, or at least the illusion of it. So it's hard to write a story about the Year that Never Was that captures what it must have been like for Jack to lose all of that. This one truly does. It's not about plot -- this is purely a story about sense and memory and experience, about longing and loss, and it captures Jack -- and his relationship with Ianto -- perfectly.

Why this must be read:

I love Alternate Universes. No matter the lives Jim and Blair are living fate inevitably brings them together. And I love action and adventure. Panik delivers both.

Jim has been driven by his erratic senses from Cascade to Beaver Falls, a small mountain town where has has taken the job of Sheriff. Jim does not welcome hippie Blair when his old broken-down psychedelic van strands him there as winter approaches. There are secrets in the town and a young woman in peril. Trouble-magnet Blair can't help getting involved.

06:19 pm Earning Heaven by Nemo the Everbeing R
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series
Pairing: Buffy/Wesley
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: Take a post season six Buffy and a post season three Wesley, have them meet  unexpectedly and the result you get is a ton of angst. Both characters are hurting and go off to find some peace, to try and work out their issues. They run into each other, much drinking and talking ensues. And in the end they make a pledge to each other to go back to their homes and try to work things out. It is a bit dark, so please read the warnings, but if you do decide to read you won't be disappointed.

11:00 pm "The Test Affair" aka "Mary Sue's Last Dance' by Lee the T (G)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: None
Length: 2600 words
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] leethet
Author Website: Lee the T's Stories: Gen or check File 40 for her slash stories.

Why this must be read:

How often have we muttered under our breath, or even out loud, about "Mary Sue" stories? How refreshing would it be to see Mary Sue get what's coming to her?

A lot, when Lee the T writes the story. Not only does this tale poke gentle fun at Mary Sue it actually has a plot and a point to make. I found it a fascinating read - not at all the piece of fluff that I expected - but a serious piece written in a humorous way.

Besides, we all know that, like Dr. Egret, Mary Sue will reappear some day...

11:45 pm Something Better, by Lovelypoet (NC-17)
Fandom:Bandom
Pairing:Gerard Way/Frank Iero
Author on lj:[livejournal.com profile] lovelypoet
Author website:None listed
Why This Must Be Read:

I'm tempted to just say "because it's super awesome!" but that's not very descriptive. This is an AU story where Frank gets a job as a nanny to Gerard's daughter. That's right, kid fic and a "meet cute" scenario. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Frank makes the best "not a nanny" ever, and Gerard's sweet and scatterbrained. But it's the kid that steals the show, a five year old named Chloe. A lot of kid fics are sickly sweet, this one gets the balance just right.
