Why this must be read:

This short fic packs a punch.  Set after Sacrifices, it closes one of the more egregious holes in canon.  Billy Keikeya's two strongest relationships were with Laura Roslin and Anastasia Dualla.  So why did the two have almost no scenes together, particularly after he died?  This story explores what might have happened had they done so.  It's not just about Billy dying.  It's about Dee, and why she makes the choices she does (romantic and political) and the way Laura sees the women of the Fleet.  And it's about grief.  (And the last line, considering what Dee eventually does, will take your breath away.)  Well-written, it deserves to be read more.  Go, read and review.

My recs might be loaded a bit towards the front of the month because we're moving late in June, but I'm hugely pleased to have the opportunity to pass on recs for NCIS:LA! And this one's just been nominated for an award.

Fandom: NCIS: Los Angeles
Pairing: Sam Hanna/G. Callen
Length: ~4575 words

Why this must be read: It captures the easy chemistry of the team and reinforces the challenges of undercover work. Callen gives an object lesson on how to sell your undercover assignment. By kissing Kensi. Then Sam. With equal skill and comfort.

There's more to the story than that ... the repercussions of the kiss, of course, and a cameo by Sam's fictional wife who is remarkably okay with his feelings for G, but what hits me every time I read it is the absolute trust between Sam and G. These are guys who trust each other with their lives, their fears, their vulnerabilities, and it shows.

'Sam, have I ever kissed you?' Callen asked bluntly. )
