11:44 am Once Upon A Tuesday, 1407graymalkin, G
Fandom: FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Pairing: Jason Street, Tim Riggins
Length: 795
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] 1407graymalkin
Author Website: tagged
Why this must be read: I'm a sucker for pre-series fics. Especially fics that address the friendship between Tim and Jason. This is sweet, short [like a young Jason] and very poignant. You can see today's boys in their past and it makes the heart clench too.

11:50 am Declarations of Independence by namasteyoga (Not rated)
Fandom: HOUSE M.D.
Pairing: None. House-Wilson friendship.
Length: 11,178 words
Author on LJ: Author's LJ profile
Author Website: Namaste's House Fics
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] namasteyoga excels at writing long stories with layers of detail built up with the skill of a painter. This story from January 2006 is one of my favorites of hers. The story is set at the onset of winter, when House is putting away his motorcycle until spring. His thoughts turn to other winters in his past, when he was young and athletic. The observations of House's physical limitations are particularly well done:

01:00 pm The One You're With by Pervyficgirl (R)
Fandom: DC Comics
Pairing: Hal Jordan/Roy Harper
Length: 2073
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pervyficgirl
Author Website: Merely An Illusion
Why this must be read:
So remember when DC relaunched JLA a few years back and had Brad Meltzer write the opening story arcs? Yeah, they were kinda crappy, but oh Sweet Jesus on Toast Points was the relationship between Hal Jordan and Roy Harper slashtacular.

And kind of kinky, too, if you think about it because Roy's got all sorts of daddy issues, and that's daddy's life partner best friend hitting on him inviting him to "go flying" male-bonding with him.

And then, bless her pervy heart, [livejournal.com profile] pervyficgirl did think about it and set hands to keyboard ....

06:12 pm Contingency Plan by Brine224 (K+)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Characters: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Raya, Chloe Sullivan
Pairing: Lois/Clark
Length: ~ 24,000
Author on LJ: --
Author Website: FF.net
Why this must be read:

I think we could all use a breather after that last rec. ;) Brine's post-Reunion AU is just the ticket. In this story, Lois discovers she's pregnant. Apparently, when Jor-el thought Clark had died, he took scientific liberties with the nearest warm body (Lois who, if you recall, had crashed in the Arctic with Martha Kent) to make certain the line of El continued on.

IMHO, Lois is far too experienced and pragmatic to accidentally get pregnant. So my reflex (click the X) doesn't apply here. The author goes further than that by writing very real reactions from two young people who've found themselves in circumstances beyond their control. It's not the strongest piece judging purely on writing style but the storytelling is top-notch. Also, as someone who works in health care, her medical science is perfect!

07:59 pm I can only, by: slidrella. (R)
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Length: ~ 6,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] slidrella
Author Website: Their fanfiction index post.
Why this must be read:

What if Fraser and RayV have always been girls?

They are themselves, Ray and Fraser, and yet they are subtly different. The character voices are spot on, especially Fraser's.

There are some interesting themes about gender, but it never becomes less of a story. It's subtle and lovely and has a wonderful Fraser & RayK friendship.
