Why this must be read:

This is a delightful Season One case-story, where everybody's in character and doing the things they do best.

Excerpt: "No, Owen, you can’t shoot them,” Jack said. "We don't know how to disarm the devices yet, so just keep them safe and alive but not too comfortable. I have a feeling that if they start to purr… well, you're dead, to be blunt."

"So we want live, pissed-off kittens," Tosh heard Owen clarify as he spun to face southeast. "This is getting better and better."

03:54 pm Falling Stars by Julie Fortune (G)
As the story I recced for second season turned out to be a rerun, I owe you another one.

Fandom: THE X-FILES
Pairing: none
Length: short story
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] juliefortune
Author Website: Fan Fiction for the Fearless
Why this must be read: I have no idea why Julie Fortune isn't more widely recced or read. Her stories are professional caliber, not surprising given that she's a professional writer. She knows how to build suspense without wasting words, but just as there was on the series, there is a lot happening between the lines. Rarest of all, she writes stories with genuinely scary x-files at their center.

05:04 pm A Love Like The Sea by andrealyn (PG-13)
Fandom: BAND OF BROTHERS
Pairing: Liebgott/Webster
Length: 24,020
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: AndreaLyn's Archive
Why this must be read:

Six months after the end of the war Joe Liebgott is woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night and is drawn back to someone that he's tried so hard to forget. I loved how the author wrote Webster and Liebgott's relationship, from flashbacks with missing scenes from the miniseries, to the slow burning way they finally come together and learn to understand each other.

11:21 pm Ladykiller, by Isis (NC17)
Fandom: Canadian Actor RPF
Pairing: Hugh Dillon/Callum Keith Rennie
Length: 7,400 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo
Author Website: Heiroglyfics
Why this must be read: because Isis is an excellent writer, and this story has pitch-perfect characterizations while being a creepy and horrific tale about how twisted Hugh and Callum can be. Separate and apart, they're broken, fucked up, their personalities well suited to addiction. Together, they have this weird synergistic energy that goes beyond the bounds of normal into something else.

This is not a comfortable story. It's a disturbing view of two people feeding off each other in all the wrong ways and well worth reading.

The link leads directly to the story, so be warned for violence in addition to the sex.

Small taste of Isis' genius... )
