New Suit, Cufflinks, and a New Tie

10:03 am The Nature of Sacrifice (Gen) PG-13
Fandom:STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing:None
Length:108kb
Author on LJ:UNKNOWN
Author Website:http://www.korossy.org/khk/
Why this must be read:This is a great story about the love they have for each other and that they will both do what ever it takes to help the other, no matter what it entails, because that`s what friends are for.
The story takes place after the Fix, Hutch is still not quite ready to go back to work and Starsky is doing some police work on his own in a small town. Now a Starsky without a Hutch is bound to run into some trouble and when a Starsky is in trouble, even weak and hurting, Hutch will go and find him.

It had actually been simple, originally. Starsky had been working on a case for a week when word came that his lead suspect had skipped town. With no official warrant issued yet, Starsky had decided the best thing would be to go after the guy himself, and Dobey had reluctantly concurred.

Hutch hadn't.

It didn't help that Starsky wasn't feeling well, fighting some bug, and Hutch didn't think he should be going anywhere, let alone into unfamiliar territory without back-up after a dangerous felon. Dobey had tried to talk to Hutch about it only to find himself at the receiving end of a temper that even he couldn't match. But in the end, it had been Starsky's expression that had convinced him when no argument could. Hutch hadn't said another word.

Then Starsky disappeared.




The Nature of Sacrifice

01:43 pm Sunrise by xanthelj (PG-13)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Length: One-Shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] xanthelj
Author Website: Xanthe.org
Why this must be read:

Xanthe is arguably one of the best authors in the NCIS fandom. In Sunrise, she explores what happens when Gibbs retires from NCIS (heaven forbid!). I want the series to end like this – it's so perfect on so many levels! It touches on what happened to various members of the team over the years and what they're doing now - and then finally to what Gibbs actually does with his life after he retires: sailing off into the sunrise. It's poetic, in a way, and the ending will break your heart and put a smile on your face at the same time.

I think everyone wants Gibbs to live forever and stay at NCIS until the world ends, but in reality, that can't happen. This story deals with that reality beautifully, and I re-read it on a regular basis. It's fantastic – go read!

05:17 pm Machines of Freedom by Amalnahurriyeh (R)
Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: Fox Mulder/Dana Scully, Monica Reyes/OC
Length: EPIC.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] amalnahurriyeh
Author Website: her fic tag on live journal
Why this must be read: This is without a doubt both the most ambitious and the most successful epic length, myth-arc story that anyone has attempted in, well, in quite some time. Amal takes on the messy, incoherent series canon, which was only made worse by the dismal 2008 movie, and actually makes it better. But despite its carefully crafted, hard scifi realism, at its heart, it's a story about the relationship between Mulder and Scully. All of the regulars at least make an appearance in this story, and she also has created an original character who is making a serious play for the place in my heart currently reserved for Kel's Jerry Luskin. What is more, she has continued to write in this universe, stories that make me cry, stories that make me laugh. I can't believe this hasn't been recced yet. Oh, and it's got some great illustrations by [livejournal.com profile] scooly42.

07:09 pm Typical by goldy_dollar and mrv3000 (PG)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Human!Doctor/Rose
Length: 3,026
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] | Fanfic by Michelle V.
Why this must be read:

Because this is exactly the kind of situation that the Doctor and Rose would get themselves into. Only Rose would ever accidentally get engaged to some random alien trying to invade Earth, and only the Doctor would come up with the brilliant idea of getting married themselves in order to preempt the engagement. This story is just so ridiculously adorable, and it's certainly a unique take on the post-Journey's End Doctor/Rose wedding fic.

10:44 pm Rematch by nesmith (PG)
Fandom: Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Gen, Nathan, Ezra
Length: 2017
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] nesmith
Author's website: Mich's universe
Why this must be read: Written as a tag to the episode of Love and honour; this story explores further the relationship between Nathan and Ezra. The author uses the background of a rematch between the two as a catalyst for a long overdue discussion about their constant misunderstandings. With so many fics in this fandom placing Nathan and Ezra at odds, I like how this story shows the two making a decent attempt to understand one another. That the background is an awesome sword fight is just the icing on the cake.
