Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (OLD WEST) Pairing: Gen Length: One-shot Author on LJ: Unknown Author Website: More Here Why this must be read: This is told from the perspective of a wonderfully in character Josiah. "A Prayer For The Seven" draws on many events some of which happened in the series others that were only mentioned in passing and even some that were not seen but may as well have been. Josiah's prayer somehow manages to be funny in some places, serious in others and both in a few more. It really does make you stop and wonder if the seven do have someone looking after them.

Fandom: NEWSIES Pairing: Jack/Sarah, Jack/David Length: ~2,600 Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) cycnusAuthor Website: (or a link to where more of their fic is archived) Why this must be read: FFnet profileVeering back into AU territory for this one. Jack's dad is an interesting non-character in the movie: all we know is that he's in jail, and that Jack lies about having a much nicer family situation. So who knows what happened? Fics rarely do more than reference Jack's dad in passing. This AU takes a stab at him as a character -- one who can't deal with his son's sexuality, but without veering into the territory of abuse, melodrama, or other OTT homophobic clichés. It's a great look at how Jack could have turned out to be the kind of guy who'd date Sarah while fantasizing about her brother. ( excerpt ) Fooling Yourself | | |

Title: Shelter from the Storm by Raven Pairing: Doctor/Remus Length: short Author on LJ: loneraven Author Website: Sleeping With GhostsWhy this must be read:I love Doctor who/Harry Potter fanfics. And this is one of the best: its subtle, the length is good - short but doesn't leave you hanging, and Raven really writes Remus and the Doctor well. We get a glimpse of how hard it is on the Doctor to be popping in and out, knowing whats going to happen and not able to stop it no matter how badly he wants to. And she gives a wonderful view of Remus through the years,

I don't know if this is still necessary or not but... SPOILERS AHEAD for The End of Time
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Ten/Jack Length: ~35,200 Author on LJ: queenfanfiction Author Website: unknown Why this must be read: I like a variety of Dr Who fics and pairings...but my OTP is definitely Doctor/Jack. So I was a little upset when Ten was making his rounds and saying goodbye to everyone...and all Jack got was that note. And this fic is a great fix-it for that scene One Kiss (Is All it Takes) | | |

Title: We Are Not Your Friends (We're Here To Eat You) Pairing: Kris Allen/Adam Lambert Length: 10k Author on LJ: randomeliza Author Website: Archive of Our Own PageWhy this must be read: This crossover is an AU set in the True Blood verse where Adam is a vampire (duh) and Kris is human. It involves my absolute favorite True Blood characters: Eric and Pam - the author does their voices and banter so well. This story is excellently paced and the plot is an interesting look at vampires and their hierarchies. Kris and Adam's relationship is sweet, funny, and wickedly hot. Go, read, enjoy, give the author some love. We Are Not Your Friends (We're Here to Eat You) | | |

Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Pairing: Solo/Kuryakin Length: 9500 words Author on LJ: xparrotAuthor Website: http://www.xmagicalx.net/Why this must be read: Because it’s hot. And stunningly well-written. Not to mention a fascinating peak into Napoleon’s thought processes. The two men fall into bed together after a mission in Belgium. It isn’t planned, more of a release of adrenaline, but it’s spectacular and causes Illya to wonder what he’s been missing all these years. So Illya starts investigating possibilities while Napoleon tries not to let it bother him. Unfortunately Napoleon's not sure what his partner is up to, and he’s spending many a restless night wondering. ( read an excerpt ) Significant Effect | | |

Title: Dramatis Personae Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski Length: 20k plus Author on LJ: lucifuge_5Author Website: at AO3Why this must be read: because it's an awesome crossover casefic that takes advantage of the fact that Benton Fraser and Geoffrey Tennant were played by the same actor...plus, the due South/C6D Big Bang archive just opened up last night and this was the first story I read. lucifuge_5 does an excellent job in giving voice to her characters. This story has the true feel of a due South episode - full of ghosts and magical realism and homoerotic subtext and deaf half-wolves. Plus all the drama of the actors at New Burbage putting on Twelfth Night. This is what lucifuge_5 is best at - making wacky-seeming crossovers and AUs seem...not so wacky. Read this one and see what I mean. ( A taste... )Dramatis Personae | | |

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA/TERMINATOR THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES Pairing: Cameron, John, Sarak, Derek, Ellison, Caprica, Starbuck Author on LJ: beccatoria Author Website: fic tag, Why this must be read:You'd think, what with both of them being about killer robots who want to destroy humanity, that there would be more crossovers between BSG and Terminator. Particularly after we found out that Earth had already been destroyed by a nuclear apocalypse caused by a war between humans and cybernetic intelligences. Alas, it is not so. This gem, however, fits the bill nicely. Kara and Caprica are on a Raptor looking for Earth. They crash there. Team Connor finds them. And neither is quite sure what to make of the other. There's not much more to this fic than that, but it's well-done and each canon gives an interesting point of view of the other. ( snippet of fic )One Winged Birds | | |

Fandom: FIREFLY/ANGEL: THE SERIES Pairing: Simon/Wesley Length: about 3,680 words Author on LJ: drsquidloveAuthor Website: The Lecherous Tentacles of Dr SquidloveWhy this must be read: After centuries, Wesley is working for Wolfram and Hart, Osiris Branch; he thinks Simon and River could use some decent legal representation. I like that this story surprises me. I wouldn't have imagined this avenue of crossover, but it fits well. I wouldn't have imagined Simon and Wesley, but that, too, fits well given their backgrounds and experiences. And of all the ways I ever imagined Simon and River fighting the Alliance, this is definitely one I never thought of. The voices and characterizations are also strong, especially for Simon and River. There are a number of fine character insights as well, most notably the way Wesley is afraid of River not because she's crazy and violent, but because she's a Reader and can see all the things he's done.
