Fandom: EUREKA Pairing: As gen as a bodyswap fic can be. Length: One-shot Author on LJ: havocthecatAuthor Website: havocs_cryWARNING: Some discussion of "women's issues," if you can't deal. Why this must be read: Three-way bodyswap fic is always better than two-way AND it's totally within the realm of possibility in Eureka canon AND, if it did happen, it would happen to Jack/Allison/Nathan AND it *would* be Fargo's fault. This story is so good, it made me forget how to punctuate! Today's Not a Good Day For This | |

Fandom: TRANSFORMERS TF Continuity: SG Pairing: implied Sunstreaker/Sideswipe, Cyclonus/Sideswipe, Blaster/Soundwave Length: about 10,000 words Author on LJ: martinicruiserAuthor website: Abnormal GravityWhy this must be read:Summary: Left for dead after a battle, Sideswipe is taken in by the Decepticons, but his thoughts still linger around one of the Autobots. The Shattered Glass universe is lovingly portrayed in all its twisted glory: the evil Autobots are particularly evil, the noble Decepticons practically out-Optimus G1!Optimus Prime. It starts out a little slow but it goes galloping along soon enough: betrayal! angst! horror! torture! death! (For those unfamiliar with Transformers backstory, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are twins, so the implied pairing could technically be considered incest...)Links to the parts on her fic LJ: Once and For All, Part 2, Part 3 , Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 | |

Fandom: PRIMEVAL Pairing: Nick/Stephen, Connor/Ryan Length: Seven parts Author on LJ: barefoot_starzAuthor Website: None Why this must be read:There are AUs and there are AUs.

Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT Pairing: general Length: 7550 words Author on LJ: n/a Author Website: fanfic archived hereWhy this must be read: A Forever Knight episode has a fairly simple setup: Nick and Schanke (or Nick and Tracy) investigate a homicide, while something pertaining to the case causes Nick to reflect on a similar incident or theme from his 800 year history. This story could be eased in quite smoothly into season 2 canon, especially where the interaction between Nick, Schanke and Natalie are concerned. The reader gets a very entertaining story involving a young witness' infatuation with Nick and a flashback to Nick's first love when he was young and mortal. How can you resist a story with teenage!Nick? There aren't a lot of stories that can claim an appearance by young Nick and this one delivers in spades. ( Excerpt )First Love by Sarah Baker | |

My last rec was a teeny bit depressing, so here's a little something to make you smile: Title: Gearheads by Tainry TF Continuity: 2007 Movie (not 2009/ROTF compliant) Pairing: Sam/Mikaela, various 'Bots (implied) Length: approx. 1,600 words Author on LJ: tainryAuthor website: Borealis AU Table of ContentsWhy this must be read:Summary: The Autobots like to MST3K Top Gear. As I mentioned before, this fandom tends to produce serial standalones that build to a large epic... This is (another) one of them--don't despair at the 5/71 part number! Each part is complete, and this one can stand alone, I promise. Also, the series is up to 55/80 at this point, and she updates regularly. This crossover is from early in the Borealis AU, and it is a scream. ( tl;dr? )Gearheads | |
