10:30 am "A Little While" by kbfan (PG)
Fandom: TOY SOLDIERS
Pairing: Billy Tepper/Joey Trotta
Length: 400 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kbfan
Why this must be read: Impressive length and convoluted plot aren't everything, especially when essence and atmosphere are so thoroughly accounted for. [livejournal.com profile] kbfan skilfully captures the tense restlessness of the film's night-scenes and makes clever use of it in a slightly different context. To its credit, this fandom has just as much well written short fic as it has exceptionally long.

10:39 am Five Days/Three Years by Athene (18)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Connor/Ryan
Length: novel-length in 17 chapters
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] deinonychus_1
Author Website: none but all of her Primeval fic is here.
Why this must be read:

For a small fandom, Primeval does have its fair share of long, involved, plotty fic and this is one of the earliest and one of the best. It's Connor/Ryan, but it's much more than that. It's an interesting look at what constitutes the 'past' and the 'present'.

Connor and Ryan vanish through an anomaly and have the misfortune to run into Helen. They spend the next five days trying to get home. When they finally succeed, it's only to discover that they're completely out of step. Time, after all, never stands still.

The author describes Five Days and Three Years as two separate stories however, to my mind, they actually form a continuous whole. Three Years picks up directly from the end of Five Days and continues the story, examining the repercussions of Connor and Ryan's disappearance and how the world has moved on - for the worse - in their absence and so, for me, to read one means having to read them both.

12:06 pm Screw Loose by Finding_Jay
Frank Rec Number Two:

Fandom: M*A*S*H
Pairing: Hawkeye/Frank, with a side of Margaret/Frank.
Length: approximately 4,200 words
Rating: PG-13 to light R
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] finding_jay
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:

[livejournal.com profile] finding_jay uses fascinating stylistic parentheticals to bring us a Frank who simultaneously resents and craves Hawkeye's popularity - a Frank who desperately wants to strike back at those who wield power over him (past and present). The back story presented by the author here is so frighteningly plausible that I am tempted to adopt it as my own personal fanon.
