12:00 am Play it Again, Schanke by Stephen Lansing [PG]
Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: none
Length:  2122 words
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: archived at the "ftp" site and at fkfanfic.com

Why this must be read: This short story is just lots of fun. There's something so spot on about the Schanke and Nick interaction, especially the teasing. It's always extremely welcomed to see Nick laugh and smile and even though it's often at Schanke's expense, the friendship and camaraderie between the two men really comes through.

02:29 am Anywhere You Want To Go-Black-eyedgirl(M)
Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Eric/Charlie
Length: 4k
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] black_eyedgirl
Author Website: Fic Masterlist
Why this must be read:The Eric and Charlie relationship on the show was adorable. This takes it to the next level. Charlie sees Eric in the way Vince and the others don't or can't, and he wants both more and less than what E gives to others. It's about Charlie and E and it's about Vince and E and in a lot of ways, it's just about E. It's lovely and heartbreaking and makes me wish even more that they had kept the character of Charlie on the show.


Eric blinks at him, very slowly, like he’s trying to figure out the question beneath the question. Charlie doesn’t know if Eric has always been this suspicious, or if it’s a new deal since the Medellín fiasco – Charlie wouldn’t be able to tell. Eric dropped into his world fully formed – a professional miracle-worker who won’t let Vince buy a new house until they book the next film. Eric over-thinks everything because of something that happened before Charlie knew him.

10:49 am Laughing With by hitlikehammers (R)
Fandoms: LOST
Characters/Pairing: Ensemble
Length: 6938 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hitlikehammers 
Why this must be read: Because it's absolutely the best reset fic out there. Everyone is in it, and she manages the insane task of writing a story that sounds chipper and sweet throughout, but is actually one of the darkest things I've ever read in this fandom. Everything that's "nice" is actually tragic, you're informed in roundabout ways of people's demises, the happy relationship that springs up is actually the most wrong thing possible, etc. There aren't words for how brilliant this is. Just read it.

Excerpt:
“Hey,” the man says, and his is the kind of voice that your best friend in high school had - that casual, rough sort of sound that blends into the background and makes your chest feel buoyant.

Kate never had a best friend in high school.

01:13 pm Barely Breathing-Dancin Butterfly(M)
Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Vince/Freddy Lyme, (Vince/E background)
Length: one shot, under 11k
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] dancinbutterfly
Author Website:None
Why this must be read: Because Freddy calls Vince 'beautiful boy' and it's incredibly sexy. Because the show totally shafted us on that scene. Because Vince gets broken a little and put back together with pieces that don't quite fit the same anymore. Because this is scorchingly hot.


“I thought we were talking about a blowjob.”

“We were. Now we’re talking about fucking. The conversation’s progressed.”

Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: Gen

Why this must be read: I have a soft spot for fics about fictional character writing fan fiction about other characters. Since we know that Fargo is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan *in canon* and since we know he's a computer nerd, having him be a fanfic author makes perfect sense, as Jack and Jo discover when they have to investigate Fargo's G.D. computer being hacked. (Even if Fargo would be more embarrassed about that than if Jack and Jo had found actual naked pictures on his computer.) He was the person who made the "They Are the Magic" Willow/Tara banners on TWOP, wasn't he?

I also did not see the identity of the hacker coming, but it does make perfect sense. If the hacker's entire knowledge of human relationships comes from fanfic, it would explain a lot.

07:52 pm Dearest Abigail by Black-Minorca (15)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Hints of Connor/Abby, Connor/Cutter, Cutter/Stephen, Connor/Lester
Length: Four parts
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] black_minorca
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:

In which our heroes are transported to Victorian Scotland where young Connor Temple, accompanied by pet lizard Rex, begins studying at the University of Edinburgh under the eminent Professor Cutter and his handsome assistant Stephen Hart . . . What, though, is the suspicious Sir James Lester up to?

The story is in the form of letters sent to Connor's beloved Abigail and also diary entries to his journal, named Nabby! This is AU fanfic that makes you purr with pleasure at just how clever and inventive and witty it is. And [livejournal.com profile] black_minorca pitches the 'voice' immaculately.
