09:31 am Lost and Found by Jane Davitt (NC-17)
I'm so sorry for my long absence (Murphy's Law, anyone?).

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair, Jim/m implied
Length: 56k

Why this must be read: Because it is as intense as a thunder storm!

Jane Davitt is one of the olympian gods of the TS fandom and a published author in real life. And you can tell. The story is angsty (I'd say "mild angst and a lot of unresolved sexual tension"), and oh! the sex is sooo good. Mind the rating, girls. But the biggest strength of this fic are the voices. Real conversations - intense and angry, loving and sated - the bickering, the banter. It really has Jim and Blair in it. These people are the characters we know and love and ... well, yes.. it gets pretty intense.

05:59 pm Companion by Saestina (PG-13)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Mal/Simon, Inara
Author on LJ: [personal profile] saestina
Author Website: unknown

Why this must be read:

One of the problems with writing Mal/Simon as a pairing is coming to terms with their relationships with Inara and Kaylee (no matter how strange). Saestina examines and tells the story of Mal and Simon's growing relationship through Inara's point of view. It is believable, bittersweet and heartwarming, all at the same time. It really is about finding happiness, even if it means settling for something/someone you didn't think you wanted or needed. Great third person point of view, that encompasses the whole crew.

07:31 pm Pressure Valve by Tasha_elizabeth (PG)
Fandom: HOUSE MD
Pairing: House/Wilson
Length: 1,200 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tasha_elizabeth
Author Website: Author's fic list on fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:

No major character death in this fic, although there are elements of solemnity and silence.

For a writer, the temptation with House and Wilson is to have them talk. They talk a lot on the show, after all, and they're intelligent and clever, so it's a pleasure to come up with dialogue that suits them.

But there are also many times on the show that they don't talk, don't have the conversation other people might have, and somehow manage to communicate with each other anyway.

That is how this story goes.

08:06 pm Saint's Progress by empy (PG)
Fandom: BOONDOCK SAINTS
Pairing: None. Gen.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] empy
Author Website: Memories
Why this must be read: This is a breathtaking look at the irreversible moments that led Conner and Murphy to become the Saints of Boston. It was not an easy or comfortable path - but it was the one that rose up to meet their feet.

This fic is beautifully written and insightful into the characters and the choices that they made, often because they had no other choice.

08:24 pm 15 Minutes From Hell by wook77 (R)
Fandom: BOONDOCK SAINTS
Pairing: Connor/Murphy
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] wook77
Author Website: BDS tag at author's journal
Why this must be read: This is the second fic I’ve recced by [livejournal.com profile] wook77 and I make no apologies for it. I’m trying to rec the best of the best, and quite simply, both fics I’m reccing are in that category.

15 Minutes from Hell is an incredibly complicated, plotty, brilliant fic that explores the consequences of the question, "Do you possess the fortitude - the strength of will - to go as far as is needed?" Sometimes, you don't know what is needed until it's almost too late. What happens if God suddenly stops talking to you?

Author's Summary: Ever since they took care of Yakavetta, they've been slipsliding until Murphy feels like their fifteen minutes from hell. Fifteen minutes and one confession and it's not the place either Connor or he should be. Something's gotta give.
