Why this must be read:

Surprisingly, the creation of interesting original characters is a rare fanfic gift for an author. Elemarth has a forum regarding this aspect of writing over on fanfiction.net, which says a lot about her skills in this area. "Candles" more than holds your interest, it makes you root for this varied group of Order 66 survivors as they go about their business of survival, shorn of cultural roots, shorn of everything but their lives. It's a raw, almost minute-by-minute description of Master Jián Kaari in her group of seven Jedi of various ages as they struggle with their options in the Empire. What should they do to make a living? Should they continue to use the Force in small doses? Should they stay together? The GFFA is a harsh place in this story, but they are Jedi. They'll do their best. Canon characters are mentioned, but not dwelled upon.

Hey, I’m [livejournal.com profile] repmetsyrrah, and I’ll be you DCU reccer for January. I’m an avid reader of the comics but my fanfic tastes lean more towards the movieverse- mostly the Superman movies and I’m a die-hard clois fan so that’s what you’re likely to see the most of this month. However I do have a few other ones to keep it interesting.

Fandom: DC- Superman Returns
Pairing: Clark/Lois
Length: ~ 200,000 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Wahoogal06 on FF.Net
Why this must be read:

Hope I’m not being too ambitious starting with an epic but in my opinion this is one of the very best fics by one of the very best authors in this little corner of the fandom. I know fans were divided over the latest movie but this fic takes a realistic look at the aftermath of Superman Returns as well as having an extremely original plot to weave it into.

One of the few fics I've read where I almost haven't been able to believe what the author's doing with the characters. She puts them through so much and pushes them right to the edge of but she does it so well and believably that you won't be able to help but read on. The first of a five-part series of which three are completed, this is a fantastic fic if you want something to really sink you teeth into.
