Pairing: Napoleon Solo / Illya Kuryakin
Length: 97K

Why this must be read: I'm a sucker for stories that are episode related and this is one of my all-time favorites. This tale follows on the heels of the third season episode "The Take Me to the Casbah Affair". Illya had burned his hands during an escape from evil Thrushies (are there any other kind) and we now find him in a hotel room with his hands bound and unusable enjoying a good sulk when his "vacation," which was forced upon him by Mr. Waverly, is interrupted by Napoleon who claims he has been assigned to watch Thrush HQ and report on who the evil and now deceased evil Thrushies replacement is. Or is Napoleon there for other reasons? Of course he is! This is another extremely hot and simultaneously tender love story from one of my favorite writers.

Unexpectedly, Napoleon turned to face him squarely . His hand insolently ruffled Illya's blond locks, then slid lightly down his cheek. "My stupidity almost got us both killed yesterday. You're paying the price of it." He gathered Illya's bandaged hands into his warm clasp. "Aren't I allowed to make it up to you?"

Flustered by the unexpected caress, Illya withdrew his hands, his eyes nervously avoiding his partner's face. Napoleon didn't bother waiting for a response; he merely poured brandy into the beautiful glasses, picked up a bite-sized treat from the tray and offered it to Illya. Who regarded him suspiciously for a long moment before reluctantly opening his mouth to tentatively accept it.

They ate in almost comfortable silence, Illya unwillingly enjoying both the sumptuous fare and the attention from his normally distracted partner. He had often wondered what it would be like to have Napoleon's full attention; now he felt decidedly uncomfortable under the steady warm regard. Solo pretended not to notice to Illya's discomfort, merely offering another delicacy. His fingers brushed Illya's lower lip as the morsel disappeared between strong white teeth and hesitated there a moment, resting against the soft full lips.

11:15 am A Fairy Tale by M. Willow (PG)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/OFC
Length: 17 600 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: HERE
Why this must be read:

Today something nice, sunny, light and cute. It's just what the title says: A Fairy Tale. Starsky meets a girl – a perfect girl, a princess actually, and falls in love with her. The feeling is mutual and the only problem is that she's been promised to some old baron already. But what do they have Hutch for, right? The White Knight will save the day for the best friend he's ever had and they all will live happily ever after (the baron included).

"The king. Can't you two hear? King Canton of Simbay. It's a small country, barely on the map. You're gonna guard his daughter."

"Somebody tryin' to kill her?" Starsky asked, a serious expression on his face.

"No." Dobey said.

"Somebody trying to kidnap her?" Hutch asked.

"No." Dobey replied.

"Somebody threatening her?" They both asked in unison.

"No. I'm afraid not," Dobey answered, his eyes glancing down at a stack of papers on his desk. Dobey cleared his throat and ran a hand through his hair. Hutch could see the captain was uncomfortable. Hell, he looked like he was actually blushing although his skin tone prevented Hutch from being sure.

Both detectives were leaning forward now anxiously waiting for the big man to speak.

"You're going to guard her virginity." He said mumbled under his breath.

Fandom: Tour of Duty
Characters: Myron Goldman/Johnny McKay
Length: 843 words

Why this is a must read: Sassy has a wonderful take on the infamous shower scene where Myron is smoking, while taking a shower. Yeah, you read that right- you have to see it to believe it. :)

Excerpt
"I think you need some sleep, Goldman." McKay looked uncertainly at him, trying to place the look on his face. He was unreadable, but something had clearly changed. Goldman's cigarette hung loosely from his mouth, though he continued to smoke it. He was no longer drying himself off, the towel in his hands apparently forgotten. He just stood there a moment, dark eyes boring into McKay, making him feel nervous and expectant at the same time.

McKay caught a slight shift in those eyes and before he had time to even consider its meaning, Goldman flung the towel over the wall and tossed his cigarette into the water swirling at their feet.
