08:44 am Long Shot by Kass (R)
Fandom: Hot Fuzz
Pairing: Nicholas/Danny
Length: 3300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kassrachel
Author Website: Fanfiction by Kass
Why this must be read:
I have to admit, the 'one partner finds out the other is in love with him and freaks' is a personal kink. Mostly because I think we've all experienced some element of this in our lives, regardless of the gender of those involved. And we've all reacted differently. Kass takes a long look at Nicholas Angel, digs into his head, and gives us her take on what would happen in this situation. His evolution from freaking out to awkward acceptance isn't dragged out or over-angsted (though it could have been), but instead feels seamless and natural as we undergo with Nicholas a life-altering transition in the course of one night.

Per my usual, the brief taste: )

10:13 am The End Is Where We Start From by PFL (PG)
Fandom: PROS (THE PROFESSIONALS)
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Length: 101k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] msmoat
Author Website: PFL at The Circuit Archive, PFL at The Automated Hatstand
Why this must be read: Because PFL is the backbone and heart of Pros. And if you are in Pros you can't not love her, it's a simple as that. In zines, online, in challenges, as a beta, an editor, a writer, she has an unparalleled talent for storytelling, for knowing what a story needs and when, and for simply nailing the way these lads are. 'The End Is Where We Start From' is seasonally appropriate, so I thought it might be an apt choice here.

After being hurt on an op, Doyle goes to his family to recover, and he discovers that Bodie has offered his resignation to Cowley. You need no more than that, because this has so much to discover: the complexities of an interesting case to tease out, hurt/comfort, angst, Doyle’s interactions with his family ( I’m always a sucker for that), humour, warmth, and our Bodie being... well, Bodie really.*g*

The excerpt takes place after Doyle has accidentally clouted Bodie in the face with his plaster cast, and it’s a great example of how this talented writer can have them say ‘I love you’ and hit every button except the mush one.

10:58 am Wires by Entangled Now (PG-13)

Fandom: Chuck
Pairing: Chuck Bartowski/John Casey
Length: @1000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now 
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] libraryofsol 
Why this must be read:Casey is forever bugging Chuck while they're at work (read: The Buy More) and usually it has something to do with Chuck's role as the Intersect or whatever current mission they're on. But this time it's something entirely different. Casey wants to give Chuck something. And Chuck is not sure he's ready for this, what Casey is proposing is a big step. The ending is a delightfully wicked twist that will have you grinning. And for a PG-13 rated fic, it's incredibly hot.

10:58 am Waltz by rageprufrock (PG-13)
Fandom: HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
Pairing: Chad/Ryan
Length: 4,075 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Author Website: glitterati
Why this must be read:

This is one of the few Chad/Ryan stories that was begun before HSM2 aired. This means that it got seriously jossed by the second and third movies, but it also means we get a completely different Ryan than is seen in most other stories. This Ryan is a hot, hilarious bitch. He and Sharpay together make an incredible duo. This isn't a deep and moving story, but it is a fun story. If you know Pru from other fandoms, you know she can pull off sharp, absurd humor like no one else. She does that here, making this a fic that should be part of your personal HSM library.

Go. Read. Love. Tell the Author.

11:19 am Juggernaut by Fiareynne R

Fandom: Chuck
Pairing: Morgan Grimes/Lester Patel
Length: @5000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fiareynne 
Author Website:  Agents Provocateurs
Why this must be read: Morgan and Lester have just recently began to show signs of being very slashtastic together and Fia capitalizes on that wonderfully.  After the big Buy More party Morgan finds Lester at home and attempts to comfort him. Lester isn't sure how to react to this. Fia takes these two minor characters and brings them to life, she inhabits them completely and her characterization is spot on. Hopefully by reading this, you too will come to love this new pairing.

03:51 pm "A Crime Against Nature" by sunqist (PG-13)
Fandom: TOY SOLDIERS
Pairing: Gen Crack!Fic, Ensemble Cast
Length: 1200 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sunqist
Why this must be read: Let me just say, I'm not usually in the habit of encouraging people to write crack!fic solely for the purpose of writing crack!fic. However, the conversation to which [livejournal.com profile] sunqist alludes in her introduction did, in fact, happen, and if you want to know why she wrote this, well, she's more or less telling the truth. I personally think just plain space pirates would've worked, but space-pirate monkeys do have something to be said for them. This is like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets...er, I'd say Toy Soldiers, only not. To this day, "A Crime Against Nature" remains the fandom's only specimen of crack. You can't accuse us of lacking diversity!

09:27 pm A Life Worth Less by Alsoa (PG-15)
Sorry for the delay in getting the recs underway. Life didn't go quite as planned.

I'm kicking things off with some gen recs, although the focus is definitely on Arthur and Merlin.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: No Pairing
Length: 6,700 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stealingpennies
Author Website: pandoemonium, fic tag
Why this must be read: This is a great introduction to Merlin and Arthur, and the tensions they face within the court. This story is set during a border war, with everyone stuck in the castle going stir crazy. The resulting events spin out of control, showing both Arthur and Merlin's mettle in the process.
