Why this must be read:
Fourteen-year-old Babs is nine-year-old Dick's babysitter. A spirited adventure with spot-on characterization, this story is so awesome, I couldn't help but adopt it as fanon. She creates the perfect atmosphere and appropriately adjusts the dialogue for their ages. Everytime I read this fic, I can't help but smile.

06:39 pm The Bitch Seat by Hackthis (PG)
Fandom: Psych
Pairing: Gen...or Shawn/Gus ish
Length: short
Author on LJ: hackthis@lj
Author website: unknown
Why This Must Be Read:
I don't often read genfic, because, hey, I could just watch the show. But this adorable story (reccd first to me by deadlybride) could be a moment stolen from a lost early episode. Set before the series begins (and Shawn appears on his motorcycle) it's really a tale of Gus. Gus trying to pick up on a girl, Gus trying to look cool, Gus...getting really irritated when Shawn won't let him do either and wants him to focus on his new bike instead.

Gus is woe like you wouldn't believe. If I were Shawn, I'd probably mess with him all the time too. Though of course, deep down, Shawn does care for Gus, and though it doesn't seem like it to Gus at the time, all Shawn's craziness is partly to share his joy with his best friend and partly to keep his best friend from embarrassing himself by picking up on a girl who isn't exactly Gus' type. (Okay and also just a little for the sake of needling Gus).

Very light, very fun. You feel bad for Gus and kind of laugh at him at the same time, just like the show. He always goes along with Shawn...everyone knows he's going to...you just also know why he'd be upset. Poor baby. If only he didn't whine like a little...

Why this must be read: this was [livejournal.com profile] wihluta's entry to last year's ds_match and it's a lovely story. It's delicate and sweet and a wonderful look at Fraser and Ray as their relationship develops and evolves. So many truthful moments in their life together.

It's a also a great view of their relationship through the eyes of the other characters and that is something unique and fascinating.

The Best Thing To Say

09:07 pm Déjeuner Sur la Déjà Vu by Ariadne (NC-17)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: 4,000 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Ariadne's gossamer page
Why this must be read: While Mulder and Scully are on a case searching for a missing boy, they start to remember what really happened on Monday. Lovely and passionate fic, beautifully written.

Scully sat tailor-fashion on the ground and pulled Mulder's head into her lap to assess the damage. Her thumb wandered over his temple as she registered the cut at the back of the skull, superficial but bleeding profusely as did all scalp wounds. Cleansing and pressure would be all he would need. "You're okay," she whispered. "No one has to die here."

Why did I say that?

It hit her full force.

We're on the floor of the bank and there's a bullet in his chest next to the heart that was so strong just a few minutes ago and he's going to die I can't do anything more than hold him while he slips away my God we're all going to die I can't connect to this robber, this man with the coldness of death in his eyes he's got a bomb he's got a bomb it doesn't have to end like this he's got a bomb...

10:47 pm Cherry Blossom Conduit and Inland by Rhiannonhero (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex/Lana
Length: 2600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rhihero_fic

Why this must be read:

There’s nothing wrong with porn for porn’s sake, right? So here’s a little porn just for porn, but it also explores a little of Lana’s psyche and her realization that no matter how much she loves Clark, she’ll never be able to complete with Lex. This is post high school and both Clark and Lana are in College. There was no rift, and Clark and Lex have always been friends. I’ve also linked to the sequel. This short series can be summed up by the following:

Clark's hands might be in her hair and he might be thrusting into her mouth, but she knew if she looked up she'd see that he was looking at Lex, because, God, it had always been about them -- never her.

Cherry Blossom Conduit

And it’s sequel
