Fandoms: LOST/HEROES Characters/Pairing: AdamMonroe, Richard Alpert, Jacob; Richard/Adam Length: 10,100 words Author on LJ: janie_tangerine Author Website: MasterlistsWhy this must be read: Only with Lost and Heroes can you have a 19th century shipwreck adventure fic that is neither AU nor crack! This absolutely BRILLIANT fic places Adam Monroe on the Black Rock, along with Richard, and together, they reach the island and meet Jacob. You don't need to know anything about Heroes except that Adam was born in about 1650, is something of a mercenary, and that his superpower is cellular regeneration---meaning he heals from any wound, never ages, and will never die. Janie does an amazing job of theorizing what is going on in the Lost mythology (it makes sense!), and it's a blast watching Adam and Richard slowly piece it together and also experience some of those key season 1 WTF moments (like meeting the monster and seeing a polar bear, etc.). In addition to keeping the action and mystery going, the relationships she builds between the three main characters are distinct and beautiful. And then, just for an extra stroke of brilliance, she finds a way to make Jacob responsible for the motivations behind Adam's canon storyline that takes place a century later. Excerpt: When he wakes up, Adam is lying on a beach, the waves still touching his feet. The sun creeps through his eyelids, forcing them open; Adam blinks and takes a look around. The sand is almost white and soft under his fingertips, and in front of him there’s a luxurious, green jungle. When he turns to his left he sees Alpert, covered in sand and still passed out but breathing more or less steadily, and Adam figures it’s ok, all things considered. Then he starts noticing that something is very, very strange. And not the usual kind of strange.A Touch of Infinity | |

Title: Untitled by rabbitfics Pairings: Steed/Jack Harkness, Cathy/Tenth Doctor, Tenth Doctor/Jack Harkness, implied Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler Author on LJ: rabbitficsAuthor Website: her LJ (it's a fic journal) Why this must be read:I admit that this was written by my partner-in-crack and that, once the idea planted itself in her head, I did a lot of "YOU MUST WRITE THIS RIGHT NOW" capslocking...but that is only because I knew she would do it well, and oh did she ever. This fic is freaking hilarious and I have been royally selfish in not reccing it before. Not to mention it's one of very few stories that feature Cathy. I love my girl Cathy, and rabbitfics definitely does her justice here. Her "casually bisexual man of the world" Steed is wonderful as well. Have I mentioned that this thing is freaking hilarious?

Fandom: PRIMEVAL Pairing: Stephen/Ryan Length: 977 Author on LJ: mysteriousaliwzAuthor Website: Fic LJ at mysteriousaliwzWhy this must be read:One of the best things about fandom is the collaborative nature of it. So let me introduce you today to Sanctuary. Certain things in Primeval canon Did Not Happen – and so if you want to see how the fangirls saved Stephen and Ryan, read on . . . mysteriousaliwz kicked off the idea of Sanctuary with today's story. And then her cunning plan growed and growed, as other writers adopted the idea and all manner of characters popped in and out at (in)opportune moments *g*. All the Sanctuary stories by all the different authors can be found by going to primeval_denial and clicking on 'Sanctuary' in the tags down the left-hand side. Beware – don't read most of them while consuming liquids! Sanctuary | |

Title: The Four Heads Are Better Than Two Affair by wiccagirl24 Pairings: Emma/Illya Kuryakin, implied Steed/Emma and Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin Author on LJ: wiccagirl24Author Website: her fic journal, wiccaficcaWhy this must be read:This story has been recced before by a Man From U.N.C.L.E. driver, but I don't know how well-known it is to Avengers fans, and if you do not know it, you really should. Unlike my other crossover rec, this is not crackfic, or at least it's not any crackier than either show's canon. These two similarly ridiculous '60s' spy series with similarly unflappable, witty-banter-exchanging protagonists were truly meant to be crossed over, and wiccagirl24 pulls it off with style, dead-on character voices and even a shred of plot. Although it's really Emma and Illya's story, as they free themselves from THRUSH imprisonment and discover an unlikely connection, my favorite part has got to be Steed dealing with suspicious Napoleon. Perfect Steed, and that is no mean feat. Seriously, though, the whole thing is wonderful. ( Excerpt )The Four Heads Are Better Than Two Affair | |

Title: Wishers Lost by Tavalya_Ra Pairings: Timmy/Crocker Author on LJ: tavalya_ra Author Website: tavalya_ra@insanejournal fanfic masterlistWhy this must be read:This is unlike most DP/FOP crossovers - which there are many of. Most of them are cliche-Timmy-somehow-meets-Danny-and-they-go-on-PG-rated-ghostly-adventures (or vice versa), and other stuff in that vein. This is an ONESHOT mostly set in FOP, where the Danny Phantom elements only play a small, yet crucial part. Timmy and Crocker have clearly undergone character development offscreen, yet still are perfectly themselves. Choosing an excerpt is impossible, since its so short that an excerpt it could be a spoiler, and I have no desire to do that. Wishers Lost | |
