07:15 am SENSES WORKING OVERTIME by Devikun [NC17] and HEARTS LIKE FLOWERS by Springgreen [NC17]
Fandom: Saiyuki
Title: Senses Working Overtime and Hearts Like Flowers
Pairing: [Burial Arc] Hakkai/Gojyo
Author: Devera [livejournal.com profile] devikun and Oyce [livejournal.com profile] springgreen
Website: None
Rating: NC 17.

Why these two fics must be read together: First [livejournal.com profile] devikun wrote Senses Working Overtime and then [livejournal.com profile] springgreen wrote the remix Hearts Like Flowers, which was such a fabulous reworking of the same story that they really double the pleasure. Mostly just really good PWP, but Hakkai still struggles with finding the right balance between instinct and inhibition with regards to how many inhibitors he needs to wear to regulate his nature, and Gojyo is the lucky recipient of a certain lapse in control. The former story is written from Hakkai's POV, the latter, from Gojyo's.

03:39 pm A Battle Story, by Callisto (PG)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: gen
Length: 9k
Author on LJ: [profile] callistosh65 
Author Website: Callizz
Why this must be read:

I like a story that has a sense of continuity to it, that shows the cumulative effects of events that have gone before. This one is a short follow up to Deckwatch, but it's loaded with character, history and foreshadowing.

03:41 pm Kingdom of Air by ninjasnano (R)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: mostly gen, a bit of Jack/Ianto
Length: novella-ish
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ninjasnano
Author's Website: none listed
Why this must be read:

The team's wild goose chase to the Himalayas is great fodder for a story, and Kingdom of Air takes full advantage of it. The detail is extraordinary, and Ianto's POV really shines. His character has never felt more capable and well-drawn.

A prologue, five parts and an epilogue: Kingdom of Air.

10:22 pm Police & Thieves by sisterofdream (PG13)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, Ray Kowalski/OMC
Length: ~10,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sisterofdream
Author Website: none
Why this must be read: Because it's an encapsulated history of punk music in Chicago. [livejournal.com profile] sisterofdream is an extremely talented writer who brings Ray and Fraser to life with all of their little quirks and idiosyncrasies. She gives us a Ray who is a perfectly capable cop without Fraser, who still has skills for undercover work, who is competent.

At the same time, she shows us an insecure and jealous Fraser, one who doesn't know how to approach Ray, who doesn't know how to deal with his feelings. Watching these two fight for what they want, trying to reach an unspoken accommodation feels very real and true to the characters.

In addition, [livejournal.com profile] sisterofdream has created a cast of wonderful characters that add life and color to the story. Add in a detailed landscape of Chicago clubs and you've got an throughly enjoyable story.
