Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Gen with a little Het on the side.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] corvus_imbrifer
Author Website: Imbrium.net
Why this must be read: It’s the story that SPN always needed, the Winchesters as cowboys. You can't get much better than that. Told through the POV of an interesting and well-executed OFC.

08:28 pm Prelude to Destiny by AnotherDreamer (PG)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Characters: Lily/James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Others
Length: 298,502 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] anotherdreamer5
Author Website: The Unknowable Room, Fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:

This is one of those fandom classics. I haven't read it in at least a year, but I still remember it and it's highly reccomended among Lily/James shippers (though I think it would be enjoyable even if you didn't ship them). The author uses a lot of OC's to make this fic work, but she manages to write them in a way that even I, a confessed OC hater, can like them. Prelude to Destiny spans the Marauder's sixth year and beyond, but from what I can remember, the main focus is Lily and her friends.

I'd also like to point out that Sirius Black's characterization in this is one of the best I have ever read. He's not goofy like many Marauder-era writer's tend to make him out to be, but he is funny. And his upbringing, as much as he may hate it, does shine through a bit.

09:14 pm Thankful by Sango (PG13)
Title: Thankful
Fandom: DBZ
Pairing: Vegeta/Bulma
Author on LJ: Not Sure

Why this must be read: This is another take on the eternal mystery of how Vegeta and Bulma ended up together. Only, with a slightly different take and a positively kick ass Bulma.

09:43 pm Wild Blue Yonder by Phoenix Cubed (PG)
Title: Wild Blue Yonder
Fandom: DBZ
Pairing: Goku/Chi-chi
Author on LJ: Not sure
Author Website: Her FF Page
Why this must be read: I confess, Gohan is the reason I got sucked into this series in the first place, and the Cell saga is still my favorite. Chi-chi gets a bad rap in fanfiction a lot, but this story gives her a depth and realism that makes her seem sympathetic.
