12:53 pm God's Breath by Jintian (R)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: 52,400
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hesychasm
Author Website: Fanfiction Index at Dreamwidth.
Why this must be read:

Jintian wrote this story entirely from Scully's point-of-view, which makes the story feel even more intimate and immediate. She created an interesting and believable back-story for Scully, a fascinating and creepy X-File and wonderful characterizations of Mulder and Scully, along with a delightful repeat appearance of Detective Kresge, from the episode "Emily". She created a Bill Scully who isn't a hateful jerk, but is instead a guy who loves his sister and wants the best for her. You know, like Mulder loves his sister. I loved this story the first time I read it, and I believe you will as well. If you do, save it. You will want to read it again and again.

EDIT:Unfortunately, since I originally wrote this entry, the site owner has blocked the Internet Archive, thereby preventing anyone from viewing the content. I do have a copy of "God's Breath" on my hard drive. My hope is that eventually [livejournal.com profile] hesychasm will allow her stories to be archived again so that readers can enjoy them.

Some stories do have happy endings. Jintian has since archived her fanfiction at Dreamwidth.

01:48 pm Wine Glasses and Wire Cutters by Fish and RSB (PG)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: none
Length: 36k
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: While Simon and Inara attend a party, Mal and the crew take on a new job, which goes wrong. What a shock! It would have been nicer had the fic been longer, but the plot is great, I can totally visualize it as an episode of the series - it would have been lots of fun.

02:01 pm Regards from the Rainbow Room by Lisa W (PG)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Methos/OFC
Length: One Shot
Author Website: http://www.physics.unlv.edu/~tcoffman/HL/lisa.html


Why this must be read: This fic is absolutely lovely and sadly melancholy, told from the point of views of Methos and the OFC, Mrs. Marjorie Phillips. This is a very unique not-romance between a mortal and Immortal, who meet just one night a year.

03:32 pm Dust to Dust by Selenay (PG)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: None
Length: 2217 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] selenay936
Author Website: Selenay's Haven
Why this must be read: It starts off being quite amusing, and with Donna and the Doctor that's never really going to change. But they have their own unique ways of solving the problem and their own reactions to that solution too. It's very in keeping with what we've seen of the two of them so far.

Hilariously horrible. Supposedly the real story behind those cute candid photos of Jared 'n Jensen. You will laugh and cringe all at once.

04:42 pm Don't Let the Sun Go Down by Brynwulf and Poisontaster (NC-17)

Fandom: CW RPF
Pairing: Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki of Supernatural
Length: Novel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brynwulf and [livejournal.com profile] poisontaster
Author Website: LJ
Why this must be read:

An action/adventure story that happens to be RPS. Bird flu has broken out in North America. Diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Canada are non-existent. The border is closed. Vancouver is a war zone. And stranded actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles make a pact to get each other home to Texas no matter what. Dramatic and suspenseful.

09:08 pm Burgundy Red by Elly (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Tess, Clark/Chloe
Length: Mid-range
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ellyfanfiction
Author Website: Elly’s Fanfiction
Why this must be read:

Elly is known for being a romance and smut writer, although she does deviate from her chosen genres on occasion. This series is a prime example of one of those deviations. Here she takes a character who will be introduced in the eighth season of Smallville and produces a dark tale of what this character could do. Elly tackles the issue of addiction deftly and while this story is far from being light heartened, it is a series that really shouldn’t be missed. It’s might be a series you won’t reread, but it will break your heart a bit and there’s something about that fact which compels me to rec this series.
