09:03 am The Point of No Return by Tenaya (R)
Fandom: Alias Smith and Jones
Pairing: Hannibal Heyes / Kid Curry
Length: 55K
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tenaya
Author Website: Tenaya's Tantalizing Tales

Why this must be read:

When I first proposed submitting "Alias Smith and Jones" for small fandom month here on [livejournal.com profile] crack_van , I asked the folks over at [livejournal.com profile] aliassmithjones for their favorite stories and authors. Tenaya was the author who was the most suggested and for good reason. She's a terrific storyteller with a fluid writing style and her characterization of the boys is spot on. In "The Point of No Return" Curry has just joined up with the Devil's Hole Gang after he recognizes Heyes as a kid he knew back in Kansas. Heyes has just recently taken up leadership of the gang after Jim Santana got caught and sent to prison and is cementing his position with the gang. Curry has a plan, however, to earn his place not only in the gang but at Heyes' side... and his bunk.

11:16 am Driving is the Secret of the Universe by jennyo (PG-13)
Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: Zoe Carter/Jo Lupo UST
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jennyo
Author Website: Jennifer-Oksana's
Why this must be read: Jo gives Zoe her first driving lesson--with S.A.R.A.H. supervising. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

When they need to take a break, Zoe wants to make a confession--although it's no where near as bad as any of the possibilities Jo suggests (“What is it? Did you steal something? Did you make out with Nathan Stark?”). Jack might still have a heart attack if he heard.

05:20 pm Park Life by Bigtitch (PG)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Nick/Stephen
Length: 5370 words (two parts)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bigtitch
Author Website: None – check LJ masterlist for stories
Why this must be read:

Plot, critters, great lines – and the feel of a missing episode . . . Park Life reads like it could slot in quite comfortably after the events of series 1 episode 3. The characterisation is spot-on and the dialogue crackles – you can really 'hear' the team we know and love. The pairing is ostensibly Nick/Stephen, but the slash is almost incidental.

08:36 pm Lightning in a Bottle by angeldylan628 (PG)
Fandom: LOST
Characters/Pairing: Richard/Jacob
Length: 1667 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] angeldylan628
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read: Lost fic that theorizes is great, and this is one of the best "let's try to explain it"stories I've ever read. We know so little about Richard and Jacob's relationship that seems to have spanned at least a century. This beautifully written story provides a fascinating background that is completely believable---how Jacob made Richard immortal, what it was like for Richard to lead with Ben, how Jacob felt about Alex's storyline. But most importantly, it's great to watch how Richard grows along with his relationship with Jacob. The tone is also a perfect blend of creepy and beautiful... just like the island.

Excerpt:
Warm hands steady him and eyes settle on him. This man does not look through him - a rarity.

He introduces himself as Jacob.
