12:40 am Charm by gabrielleabelle (PG)
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Characters/Pairing: Willow, Willow/Tara
Length: ~1500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gabrielleabelle
Author Website: On her lj, under the btvs: fanfic tag.
Why this must be read: As Tara told a Dawn insistent on resurrecting her mother, Wiccans took an oath to not alter the fabric of life and death for selfish reasons. This leads to the question of why Tara allowed Willow to do so in resurrecting Buffy. "Charm" is a rather chilling look at why. This fic features top-notch characterization of Willow, and her growing control issues. What especially pleases me is handling of Tara's character, with her more subtle emotional intuitiveness.

10:52 am They Travel In Packs by sabaceanbabe (Adult)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (NEW)
Pairing: Kara/Sam
Length: oneshot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe
Author Website: Here
Why this must be read:

Some pairings become less interesting when commitment's involved, when UST becomes RST...not this one, not by any stretch. And [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe 's fic is a perfect example of just how fun married-sex can be when well written. There are groupies, mysteriously appearing limes, teasing, drunken romping, turnaround, and a sense for dialogue and body language that is spot on for the characters.

“Hey, honey,” she greeted Sam, again smiling sweetly, offering him the drink in her hand and nearly laughing out load as the groupie noticed the mirror-image of Sam’s tattoo gracing Kara’s arm.

“Hey, baby.” Sam’s grin broadened and he slipped out from under the groupie’s grasp, fully aware that Kara was going to make him pay dearly for “baby.”

02:00 pm The Perks of Leadership (or How Chris Bagged his Speech Writer...Like a Boss) (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR TREK RPF
Pairing: Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto
Length: ~5000
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] credulesque 
Author Website:  her LJ is flocked, but here's her fiction tag, which is all public
Why this must be read:

Wherein Chris is a Senator and Zach is the snarky speech-writer who crawls under Chris' skin and refuses to budge. Also Zoe is a gay-enabler and Chris sort of owes her.

Ahhh we're back to the Pinto, which I had told myself I wasn't going to do, but there are SO MANY good Pinto fics.  And this one is awesome!  It's an AU, which Trek RPF does fairly awesomely -- and this one is just hilarious and hot and fun and sexy.  The personality of everyone comes through, especially Zach and Chris's snarkiness and it's basically awesome.

Length: 1,062
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

Because through all his denials, self-deprecation and statements to the contrary we watch as Han Solo falls in love with Leia Organa. The poor bastard never had a chance, really.
