Fandom: ANGEL Pairing: gen Length: long Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: M. Sebasky's placeWhy this must be read: Post Not Fade Away, Lorne is one of the few left standing. He's taken what's left of his life and drowned it in alcohol, in a little far out town filled with Klansmen and mediocre karaoke...until one day, Spike and Connor show up. One of the few Lorne-centric fanfic out there, and M. Sebasky does a marvelous job with him. An unusual interpretation of Post NFA, as I think most people prefer to have more characters left standing, but a good interpretation none-the-less. Lorne Versus the World | |

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS Pairing: John/Rodney Length: 15 500 words Author on LJ: justbreathe80Author Website: Why this must be read:One of the stories in the Stargate Atlantis Secret Santa 2008 that stood out for me. AU. John is still a pilot and Rodney is still a scientist. Most of the gang is there. There's a little angst but it's romantic and with just enough fluff, not too much, to meet my romantic, fluffy AU meter. When you know you were born to fly**** The van went into a ditch at the beginning of February. It just came out of it and will be on the road for the rest of the month. | |

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS / REAL GENIUS Pairing: Lorne, Parrish, Jordan (hints at Lorne/Parrish) Length: about 1400 Author on LJ: ana_grrlAuthor Website:Why this must be read:Because it mixed two of my favourites things. Because it's so Jordan you just squee with laughter and joy. Real Genius was and still is one of my favourite movies of the 80's. How can the Marines just not loooove Jordan? Guns and genius. This was one of my surprise squee stories of 2007. "She made me a gun," he tells Parrish that night. "A really great gun." Really if you love the movie you'll love it. The Marines love her**** I needed an excuse to use my Hot Major icon too. | |

I apologize for my absence so far this month, I aim to catch up today so you don't get spammed by my last-minute recs at the end of the month. Fandom: SUPERNATURAL Pairing: Trickster/Castiel Length: Appx 1,500 Author on LJ: messageredactedAuthor Website: Fic tagWhy this must be read: Such an interesting concept. In it's own way it addresses a question I've had regarding Dean's deal in S3 and... basically all of S4. Also, once you recover from the fear the pairing induces, it's really pretty neat.

Fandom: DC COMICS/MARVEL COMICS Pairing: Kal-El, Hiroim the Shamed, Caiera the Oldstrong, Bruce Wayne Length: 5325 Author on LJ: giantsofold Author Website: LJ Why this must be read: When a writer appears seemingly out of nowhere and gifts fandom with jaw-droppingly brilliant work, then mysteriously disappears without a warning, I have to wonder if there will be anything quite like it again. giantsofold has posted only a few fics, but they have the admirable qualities of being able to sidestep convention and upturn expectations, particularly with such a beloved character as Superman. Rites is a prime example, setting Kal-El as the great champion of the planet Sakaar, from Marvel Comic's Planet Hulk series. It's to the strength of the lyrical and haunting piece that no knowledge of Sakaar or its inhabitants is needed, and that the only thing required to enjoy this wonderous tale is the desire to read and be moved.

Subject: The Magnificent Seven/Sons of Anarchy Series Title: Magnificent Sons of Anarchy Pairing: Chris/Vin, Various Author on LJ:no fics found on lj? Author Website: http://blackraptor.net/m7fic-47/xm7fic-47x/M7SoA/index.htm (this does not go to the blackraptor site but to a site that contains only M7/SoA stories by Kim Why this must be read: A wonderful new crossover verse where the 7 are not quite the BDH's we're used to, but maybe closer to the gunslinger types that some of them actually were in canon. It is a fun universe to read and I reccomend the entire series. Starting with this one. It'll All Work Out | |

Title: Love, After by Jedi Buttercup Pairing: Buffy/Rick Author on LJ: jedibuttercupAuthor Website: Jedi Buttercup FictionWhy this must be read: Ignore the lame title, it's a great little fic. Buffy Summers finds a new boyfriend named Rick O'Connell. She thinks she's finally found a normal guy with nothing that supernatural about him... until he spills the beans about his past. Very sweet fic, even though I'm adamantly opposed to Rick/anyone-not-Evie, but a tired and lonesome Buffy/Rick actually works. Jedi Buttercup does a great job combining these two fandoms, something that should seriously be done more often. Love, After | |

Title: People and their rocks by lucyhalePairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Duck/Dan Author on LJ: lucyhaleAuthor Website: Due South ArchiveWhy this must be read:C'mon, Due South meets Wilby Wonderful - Fraser meets Duck and Buddy, Ray meets ... you probably get my drift. Although this is not all a happy story: Wilby still has its problems after the movie ends and Fraser comes to town to give Buddy a hand, and he comes without Ray. Duck as quiet and wise as in the movie quickly figures out what's wrong with the Mountie and with Dan he has his way to make things rght. People and their rocksPart IIPlease don’t forget to give some feedback to the author, if you liked the story! Thank you kindly. P.S. Thanks to julia_here for discovering the title. | |

Hello Denyce here, and I’ll be your driver for RPS this month. First apologizes for the late start been smacked with the flu, but will do my best to get a few of my favorites out. These days I mainly read CW RPS, from J2 to other rarer pairings *g* So buckle your seats and let’s get started… Fandom: CW RPS Pairing: Jensen/Jeffrey Dean Morgan Length: 5,300 Author on LJ: sori1773Author Website: na Why this must be read: Time frame is somewhere in S2 when Jeff is off filming The Accidental Husband. Written from Jensen's pov how he and Jeff carry on their friendship. Where they go from co-stars/friends into something more. Sori writes a warmth into her pieces, that builds and pulls you in then sparks ignition, Any Other Day is no exception. A delightful feel good read, still one of my favorites, and shouldn't be missed. ( excerpt )Any Other Day | |

Title: That's the way the cookie crumbles by ferdalump Pairing: Lois Lane/Bruce Wayne Author on LJ: ferdalumpAuthor Website: none Why this must be read: I find humor hard to write and many times humor in a story can fall flat. In this story, the humor succeeds and it's an adorable, funny ficlet. This is a pairing I only recently discovered and I'm quite enjoying it. However, in this story the pairing is not the main focus. What's the focus is the interaction between Lois and Alfred. Alfred is hilarious as he tries to deal with Bruce's girlfriend and her desire to make cookies. It's a great read. That's the way the cookie crumbles | |

Title: Aftermath by jantalaimon Fandom: LIFE ON MARS / DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Harry Saxon / Lucy Saxon Length: approx 850 words Author on LJ: jantalaimonAuthor Website: Fic list at the Collator‘s Den archiveWhy this must be read: because it is a brilliant and chilling concept that is executed stylishly. I don‘t want to give too much away but it focuses on two characters that wear red and weaves a fascinating link between the two shows. Extremely effective, gives us a intriguing perspective on the characters, and beautifully written. And just to let you know the author warns for: Heavy spoilers through S2E8 of LoM and through the end of S3 of New Who. Darkness. Now go and read it. ( Excerpt )Aftermath | |

Title: Excellent! by Tyler Dion Pairing: None (Gen: Eight, Iris) Length: Drabble Author on LJ: none as far as I can tell Author Website: Teaspoon profile (Whofic archive)Why this must be read:You read that right. A crossover between Doctor Who and Bill and Ted. It's wonderfully hilarious and cracky, and quite frankly any more would spoil the story. So go forth and read! Excellent! | |

Title: Looking Glass!Verse Pairing: Jensen, Jared, Sam, Dean (in various combinations later without the verse) Length: P1- 17,719, P2-52,000, P3-106,000 Author on LJ: blynnkAuthor Website: na Why this must be read:Why? Hmmm, well I could just *shrug* and say how can you not with double the pretty of Jensen/Dean/Jared/Sam, together in one fic… Think on that for a moment. *Nods* yes together and its slash- *lots* of wincest/twinest (though not really twins *g*) with a no holds bar combinations of sex--& yes this is a guilty pleasure read of the highest quality, and if this was in a paperback (actually several) all of the spines would be worn and cracked ;) Ok it doesn’t start out with either wincest/twinest ( not really twins). Looking Glass!Verse is told in 3 complete parts: P1 Looking Glass 1-9 chs, P2 Reflections in the Looking Glass 1-12 chs, P3 Looking Glass: Shadow & Light 1-29 chs. Part one does set up the premise for this delicious romp-don't jump ahead it only adds to the fun! This lusciously long crossover verse adds: angst, schmoop, h/c, and humor all of your favorites into a ridiculously long addictive crack! read. I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end.

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL Pairing: Sam/Jess Length: 2,018 Author on LJ: joyfulgirl41Author Website: SPN fic tagWhy this must be read: It's all these little things about Sam that Jess loves, and that also drives her insane, it's a short fic, but it doesn't seem so short that you feel ripped off.

Title: Dreams and Nightmares by Anonymous Pairing: none Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: since the author is unlisted: the Doctor Who Crossover Ficathon LJWhy this must be read:For crossover day, I just had to go with this story, even though it is not on ffnet. Dreams and Nightmares is a awesome story where the Doctor and Donna try to go to the Scotland Yard in 2007.....and end up at Hogwarts...in 1977. “Hogwarts? You mean like Harry Potter?” She looked at James, taking in his messy dark hair and glasses. “Are you Harry Potter?”
James shook his head, clearly rattled. “I'm James Potter.”
“You can't be Muggles,” said Remus quietly. “How can you know about Hogwarts?”
“Hogwarts!” shouted the Doctor, making them all jump. He grinned hugely and paced about, Remus watching him warily. “We're in Hogwarts! And if you're James Potter, then that means… You're the Marauders! The Marauders, marauding about, isn't that brilliant! Donna, meet Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, otherwise known as Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter. Brilliant students, terrors of the school, and very fond of wandering around the grounds at night - hang on, are we in a secret passage? Is this an actual, proper secret passage? I love a good old secret passage!”

Title: Lizzy, The Vampire Slayer by Genette Pairing: Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: Author's page in DWG. Why this must be read:Because they're two great tastes that taste great together? I suppose that's true for all crossover recs. OK, then. This is a fun, light-hearted story, with the flavour of firsts seasons' Buffy in a Regency garb. You don't actually need to know Buffy's canon, tho, because the story uses Buffy's universe, and not Buffy's story. (And the author did a Buffy FAQ.) You get Lizzy as a Slayer, and Darcy as her Watcher, what more could you want? Lizzy, The Vampire Slayer | |
