I know the time says I'm posting on the 16th, but for most of the rest of the world it's still the 15th, so.

Title: The Art of Losing
Pairing: none (Mikey Way, Tim Riggins)
Length: +7k

Author Website: author's tags
Why this must be read:

It's bodyswapping crack. My Chem are massive comic book dorks. Tim Riggins is himself. There is a villian who is made of fail. Really just, one of my favourite things about Bandom and bandslash is what dorks MCR are, and this is pretty much all about that. Read it, it'll make you smile.

01:49 pm Crosscurrents by Keri Mera (NC-17)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky and Hutch
Length: 307K

Why this must be read:

“Sometimes it felt as if he'd never been away,” is the first line.

“Crosscurrents” hooked me with with the opening paragraph. The guys are sitting on an ubiquitous hillside, during an ubiquitous stake-out, and having a classic conversation. Then comes the realization that it's now five months after Starsky’s been back on the job after Gunther’s bullets, giving the whole scene a different feel altogether.

It's got Rosey Malone (!), Welles, Jenny Brown, and a full cast of characters that wove themselves in "Sweet Revenge," all mixed-up in a way I see it in my head.

This bit of art is complicated, intricate, heartbreaking at times, and all with a beautiful truth.

05:07 pm NCIS and Torchwood - My Stalker is and Alien by Azure Chaos ( NC-17)
I love crossover fics.
Being a multifandom interested person I find the collision of two created 'verses to be great.
So I bring two crossover fics for the weeks enjoyment.

Fandom: NCIS/ Torchwood
Pairing: Abby/Jack Harkness, Gibbs/DiNozzo
Length: 66668
Author on LJ: azure_chaos
Author Website: http://www.ncisfiction.com/profile.php?user_id=00421 or http://azure-chaos.pbwiki.com
Why this must be read:
It says incomplete on NCIS Fanfiction Archive but is completed on her website

Summary from the Authors
(Co-written with Kendermouse) Abby has a stalker and a worried Gibbs calls an old friend and lover from the UK to help. Jack has done this kind of thing a thousand times and it should all be so straightforward, but it's Abby, and this time it's not going to plan.

Brilliant characterisation, lovely dialogue, an unusual case and it all hangs together with some lovely smut and few nice extra Gibss and Dinozzo scenes.

Warning contains: BDSM, Kink, Violence (so if they are not your thing just skip this one)

05:26 pm NCIS and The West Wing - Shades of Love by The Tenth Muse (M)

Fandom: NCIS/The West Wing
Pairing:CJ/Gibbs Gibbs/Dinozzo (slash but no smut)
Length:22K
Author on LJ:  unknown
Author Website: http://thetenthmuse1.madbrilliant.com/index1.html
Why this must be read:
The characters of Gibbs and Donovan being played by the same actor made this a natural crossover fic plot bunny but this is the best version showing good characterisation from both shows, a  well developed plot idea and some lovely dialogue moments from all sides.

I'm a little late with the crossover, but I hope it's still all right to post it.

Title: Don't Look Straight At It
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/Billy Tallent
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] verushka70
Why this must be read: This is a long story from Team Angst in last year's due South Match. Fraser and Ray's friendship is balancing precariously on the edge of becoming something more, and Billy comes into it like a sort of catalyst.

The story has an interesting structure, starting with a section in omniscient POV that I found particularly intriguing--it's set after the ending of the story, but manages to reveal exactly enough to draw you in without spoiling you for the plot. The rest of the story alternates between Ray and Fraser POV, but the sections jump back and forth in time. This may sound confusing, but it's really not--I found the story hard to put down!

10:30 pm 1001 Voyager Nights by various (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay, various
Length: long
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: n/a
Why this must be read: As you can tell from the title, this is a take on One Thousand and One Nights, Voyager style, albeit only with 26 stories. Chakotay and Janeway provide the framework of the fic, with Chakotay telling Janeway stories about various members of the crew, including both main characters and lesser known ones. Each story is by a different author, which provides a nice variety of styles and a lovely example of collaboration gone right. Come on down, stop on by, hop a spaceship and fly to another Voyager night!

11:07 pm Gloriana by Abbey (R)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway/Borg Queen
Length: short
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Abbey's Janeway fanfic
Why this must be read: Come on, with a pairing like that, this is clearly a must read. Admiral Janeway merges with the Borg Queen. It's sexy and wrong and sad and insightful and just brilliant.
