Fandom: NARUTO
Pairing: Guy/Kakashi

Why this must be read:

Following on manga #420 and as Kakashi is recovering from dying, Guy has some interesting conversations with the copycat ninja. But he has to wonder, how much is real and how much is just an effect of Kakashi's 'condition'?

Even if you haven't read the manga, it's not hard to figure out what is going on in Talk of Life After. This is a great insight into 2 characters who's relationship is often defined by the challenges they issue each other, not the external foes they face. [livejournal.com profile] raegan_1 gives them both a depth and maturity not normally seen in fanfic while staying IC. A delightful read from an author who's just hitting her writing stride, I recommend Talk of Life After. Please ... don't forget to leave feedback.

Pairing: Fred/Harmony

Author Website: Unknown: but here is a list of fics
Why this must be read: Harmony is kind of adorable. She's not the brightest spark by a long shot but she's got something going for her. She's so completely uncharming that it's impossible not to like her at least a little bit, somewhere in the back of your mind. I think I like underloved characters a little too much but regardless, her role in this fic is hilarious and adorable without being out of character. She is, after all, a vampire. No soul. Her moral judgments are a little different from most people's.

The summary provided says "Harmony rescues Fred, and then things go all Thelma and Louise." I couldn't put it better myself. The 'rescue' is dubious in itself but Fred soon settles into the role and honestly, I kind of wish this had happened in the show. However much I love Illyria.

Read this if you're in need of a smile today.

"Oh, good, you're awake." The person driving was a woman. "I was afraid I'd hit you too hard."

Fred struggled and tried to scream. Improbable outcomes again.

"I'm really sorry I had to do this," the woman said, "but I had to save your life. I mean, you were nice to me. Not that many people are nice to me."

So this would be the second time that Harmony had knocked her out and bound her. It was disturbing to know that Harmony was consistently good at anything other than matching her shoes to her purse. Fred tried to get past knowing what kind of girl Harmony had been, tried to treat her kindly and fairly in spite of it, but there was revenge in believing that the meanest girl in high school never amounted to anything.

Why this must be read: It's short, it's not-quite-sweet, it's post-Kit fic. There's not much fic that deals with this particular part of John's life - where he's as down as he's ever been and not ready to come up yet. He's self-pitying and depressed and addicted and still entirely, oddly self-aware.

Pairing: Ray Kowalski/Benton Fraser
Length: 74K

Why this must be read: I feel that this must be read in part because of the sot on characterization but mostly because of Turnbull. This is my favorite Turnbull fic mainly because it shows him as being competent and well meaning but a little lost just like in the series. Also what could possible be better then Turnbull in charge with trainee Mounties? Side note this story also features handcuffs and Ray K standing up for himself against Stella.
Warings: Bondage and First-time sex.
