11:03 am you left some stars in my belly by Signe (PG)
Fandom: WILBY WONDERFUL
Pairing: Emily Anderson/Mackenzie Fisher
Length: 1000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis
Author Website: Signe's works at the AO3
Why this must be read: Emily and Mackenzie decide that maybe it's a good idea to be lesbians (because being homosexual works so well for Duck and Dan). It's an awkward and sweet story. I love Emily; she's such a teenager, and that really shows here--for example, she smokes, even though she doesn't really like it. She does like kissing Mackenzie, though.

11:12 am And Refuse to Call Love Sin, by Lferion (R)


Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Joe Dawson/OMC
Length: 1300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lferion
Author Website: Highlander Fiction Archive; Archive of Our Own
Why this must be read:

Joe Dawson has been quietly and steadily present as a main character in Highlander stories for many years. Currently, while Duncan/Methos stories are in decline and most stories being written are het, gen, and crossovers, Joe's presence is more marked than ever. In slash stories, he's usually paired with Methos. It's refreshing to see him written by [livejournal.com profile] lferion with an original character, a shy young Watcher at the Academy. This short story stands on its own, but may be followed by more. Considering the lightness and detail this author is known for, that's a pleasure to contemplate.

07:38 pm I Want To Live Forever, But Just For Now (that damned bandpire fic) by ethrosdemon (R)

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: So many pairings and swopping but mostly Gerard/Frank/Jamia Pete/Patrick Bob/Patrick
Length:novel length
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon 
Author Website: only her LJ as far as I know
Why this must be read:

I am a HUGE fan of vampire fics, well written, humorous and intriguing fics with well rounded characters and a plot, of sorts. This amazing story set the bar for anything else I read these days. It's got everything from witty dialogue, mystery, vampires, werewolves and a little sexy time bloodplay. Well, of course - there's vampires in it.

Essentially, ethrosdemon has a way of writing that allows to see into the characters heads. The characters have an actual development arc and grow as people (or supernatural beings) as th case may be.

GO READ IT, and then dig through her archives for fantastic fics across many fandoms.

10:18 pm 12 Rules, by Dugrival (R)
Fandom: HARD CORE LOGO
Pairing: Billy/Joe
Length: 240 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dugrival
Author Website: none
Why this must be read: because it's all about Billy's control, or lack of it. This amazing little snippet shows the contrasting duality of Billy: professional musician in L.A. and punk rock legend in Vancouver. [livejournal.com profile] dugrival manages to capture some of the forces that drive Billy to the extremes of his life. All in less than 300 words.

Here are rules for a man who refuses to follow them.

11:57 pm The Retribution Affair by MorrPhyc (Mature)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya
Length: Multi-chapter novella
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] morrphyc
Author Website: MorrPhyc on Archive Of Our Own
Why this must be read: This really is a hidden gem! Until recently lost in the vaults of Ravens Lair under the curse of the Turkish Hacker, this is a long, plotty adventure with lots of twists and turns, and great characterisation for Napoleon. Although the story has a few minor faults, it is eminently readable, requires minimal suspension of disbelief, and has a believable backstory for Napoleon. A treat!

Napoleon's past comes back to haunt him - and Illya lets something unexpected slip just at the wrong moment.
