Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson
Length:9418

Why this must be read:

The Bruce/Dick pairing isn't one I necessarily read, but this fic has completely bowled me over by the characterisations and the complications of the Batfamily's relationships. The emotional buildup of Bruce and Dick's relationship into partners is satisfying, and the spot-on Alfred and adorable young Tim make the familial interactions a joy to read.

They've all faced death more times than Dick cares to count, but that was from insane supervillains, not from something as prosaic and ordinary as a heart attack. And even though Dick has acknowledged that Bruce is fallible and all-too-human (despite his attempts to act otherwise), some part of him still believes that Alfred is untouchable by age, disease, Bruce's moods, and bad manners.

They stand together in the room, Tim tucked against Dick's side, and Bruce raises one hand to rest it on Dick's shoulder. Alfred sleeps on, and when a nurse tells them they can come back in the morning, they file out silently. Tim tells Bruce, "We'll see you back at the manor," and then plunks himself down in the passenger seat of Dick's car -- and that, Dick guesses, is that.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: short story
Author on LJ: not sure of this one
Author Website: 852 Prospect
Why this must be read:

Snarky Jim buys a clue.

Not everything about human interactions is based in sex, otherwise no one would go to work, never mind wear pants.

I really love how Jim slowly comes to the realization of just how much he treats Blair differently

06:54 pm Tension by dragon_fall
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Chloe/Lionel
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dragon_fall
Author's Website: None
Why this must be read::

One of the things that I've always thought is that Lionel, when in Clark's body in "Transference", really wasn't quite as mean to Chloe as I thought he would have been. In my mind, Lionel would have done more to hurt her. This story doesn't quite follow what I believe would have occurred, but it's good anyways. Lionel is devious and Chloe is all too ready to believe and it's twisted, but there's something compelling about it being twisted.

Why this must be read:
Limlaith is one of my favorite authors in this fandom both for her style and the voice she has for the boys. This particular fic is one of a set and is short and sweet and perfect in my opinion. This one is from Chris's POV.
