Length: 745
Author on LJ: taylorgibbs
Author Website: http://ncisfic.com/authorresults.php?author=225
Why this must be read:

Not all great fics have to be long so this is the first of 3 one shot that I think should be in you read pile

Although this is set as a Tony Gibbs ish peice I like the poignancy of the shortness of life and stupid things that might kill them not directly realted to their job and the way GIbbs might cope.

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Tony/Ziva/Gibbs
Length: 9000k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] serenitymeimei
Author Website: http://www.ncisfiction.com/profile.php?user_id=00116
Why this must be read:
It is nice to have a fic where the events  of the series do pile up enough that the characters act human and
a) break and
b) resort to the primitive comfort - cuddling and sex with safe people.
this fic has both !

01:50 pm You Be The Alcohol, I'll Be The Hangover by flash_indie (NC17)
For reference, this primer tells you all you need to know about The Cab; Bandom's Cababies, their second favourite Vegas douchebags, and shiny new Decaydance label members.

Fandom: BANDOM (The Cab)
Pairing: Cash Colligan/Alex "Singer" DeLeon
Length: +12k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] flash_indie
Author website:
"bandom" tag
Why this must be read:

I read this fic not realising that it is canon! Highschool and love/hate, and douchy boys finding something in common. It's a lovely fic in a section of Bandom that is growing more and more popular.

But yeah. Cash is a massive douchebag. )

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing:none
Length:1708
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] twoweevils
Author Website: (or a link to where more of their fic is archived)
Why this must be read:

I do not usually go for character studies but in this case twoweevils have nailed every character and its great to see the thoughts that goes on behind their eyes and after the episode is finished.

04:25 pm VID REC: HOUSE, M.D.-"It's Killing Me"
It was a pleasure to be your driver this month. Now, I'll take my hands off the wheel. See you around.

Vidder: [livejournal.com profile] hithah
Musical Artist: dc talk
Pairing:House/Drugs/Wilson
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hithah
Vidder Website: Things Unleashed on the House Fandom

Why this vid kicks ass: Because it's a beautiful meditation on the expensive toll, drugs, pain and self-destruction have on House, Wilson and their relationship.

House's behavior hurts more than just himself...

04:50 pm Ruined by prehistoric-sea (NC17)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson
Length: short
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] prehistoric_sea
Author Website: Karmageddon
Why this must be read:

I really like this look into Jack's psyche. I sometimes forget that he's from a different generation and he's career military and just how much this would shape him.

05:07 pm Men of Action and Cameron Mitchell: Bounty Hunter by ana-grrl (adult)
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Cameron Mitchell/Teal'c
Length: short

Author Website: Stargate SG-1 Fiction
Why this must be read:

AU setting for Cameron and Teal'c. I enjoyed reading a different future where Apophis conquered Earth. Good stories.

05:09 pm At the Time of Writing, by loneraven (PG-13)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Length: 3200 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] loneraven
Why this must be read:
I find it hard to know what to write here, because I don't want to spoil the story. It was written for Team Angst in last year's due South Match, and yeah, it's angsty, but the structure of the story only lets us see fragments of what happens. It's written by means of documents, leaving it to the reader to piece together the events. The story is haunting and heartbreakingly beautiful, and in a way, it shows the clash between the magical realism of due South and a world where Fraser is simply crazy.

10:34 pm Basic Instincts by RJChasez -
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe/Clark, Chloe/Jimmy, Clark/Lana
Length: one shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rjchasez
Author Website: http://our-destiny.svtometropolis.com/
Why this must be read: When the spoilers leaked that Smallville would be bringing back Chloe's letter to Clark from the episode "Fever," certain fans went wild with hope. While the actual episode was a bitter disappointment, this fic is sweet, simple, and lovely, everything one would have hoped for.

10:40 pm Truth by Butifulyletdown (PG-13)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe/Clark
Length: one-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] butifulyletdown
Author Website: http://butifulyletdown.livejournal.com/12756.html
Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] butifulyletdown writes wonderfully lyrical prose and deeply reflective works that let one get into the thoughts of both Chloe and Clark. It's a nice change of pace from the show, which often leaves one guessing to motives. This fic is about rebuilding a life after such destruction has been wrought upon it and how it can be done with one's best friend or maybe something more at your side.

10:47 pm Little Black Dress by Ladydreamer (PG-13)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe Sullivan/Kara Zor-El
Length: one shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ladydreamer
Author Website: http://ladydreamer.livejournal.com/238878.html
Why this must be read: Femmeslash is woefully neglected in Smallville and it's definitely a shame that Kara's arrival on the scene didn't lead to more fun, flirty, and character-driven pieces like this. [livejournal.com profile] ladydreamer is best known for her Clex, but her Chlara is as hot, as passionate, and as heartwarming as any story she's written.

11:25 pm Resurrection Series by seanchai and elspethdixon (PG-13)
Well, it's been a fun ride, kids. I hope you've enjoyed this beginner's tour of Marvel fandom as much as I have. Hopefully it's the first of many rec sets to come.

See you in December, when I rec my newest fannish love for small fandom month.

Fandom: MARVEL: AVENGERS (Comics)
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Length: epic
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] seanchai and [livejournal.com profile] elspethdixon
Author Website: Arizona Nightingale; Elspeth's Index and Elspeth's Big Damn Fanfic List
Why this must be read: Really, there was never any doubt in my mind that I'd finish up the rec set with this story. It's the story that seduced me into Iron Man/Captain America slash and set me off looking for more, more, more.

You need to know a tiny bit of canon before you read this story. Basically, if you've read the fandom primer I posted at the start of the month, you'll know what you need to about the recent Civil War storyline -- just make sure you've read the "Significant Events" bit of the primer and you're hot to trot.

Done that? Okay then, you're ready to embark on this long, plotty, action-packed, sci-fi adventure about the anguished love of Steve and Tony. It literally starts with a resurrection, and goes on to cover danger, intrigue, politics, and ends up with... well, that would be telling, but let's just say it's going to leave you satisfied. This is such a fantastic read. Why are you still here? Go go go!
