12:13 am Final Examination by Rebelcat / [livejournal.com profile] myrebelcat (PG)
WOW! That was a detour. So my original rec had been rec'd back in 2K8 (and since I didn't know Rebelcat was [livejournal.com profile] myrebelcat in LJ, I didn't find it in the splendiferous bookmarks of win that are the MFU delicious bookmarks. Until a helpful cousin clued me in and I could go look under the LJ name and There It Was! *YIKE* BUT! I'm saved because this story HASN'T been rec'd and so I am really happy to do so!!!

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Illya/Napoleon
Length: just a few delightful pages
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] myrebelcat
Author Website: a few stories here
Why this must be read: Ok, this is one of the FUNNIEST slash stories I have ever read. It has snark, it has banter, it has grades. Trust me, this will make you smile all day. (and even if you don't like slash usually, it is still delightfully funny, not to mention colourful! give it a try!)

Final Examination

Let's go ahead and continue the tour with more of the either/or, shall we?

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Illya&Napoleon
Length: 2392 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] myrebelcat
Author Website: a few stories here
Why this must be read: Here is a delightful little bit of something right at the start of the best partnership ever. Napoleon is working with a new guy and wonders if he should be worried about that. There is great dialog and a wonderful story about things that shouldn't blow up, but do. You know Illya can ignite anything, right? One more wonderful thing about this story is that it may or may not be flirting that they are doing. The author leaves that up to the reader to interpret as they desire. I like that in a story, much like the show itself, we can take it as we like. Give this one a try, it's worth a read.

08:26 am Freaks Flock Together by Agent Orange (R)
Fandom: COWBOY BEBOP
Pairing: gen
Length: 21K
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: FF.net Profile or Big Big Truck's Archive
Why this must be read:

Because there is just not enough Cowboy Bebop and this could easily be another episode fit somewhere into the middle of the series.

The Bebop crew is after a bounty, so they go undercover as an institute for dysfunctional families. The group therapy scene alone makes this story a must read.

03:44 pm Ciphers, and Being Careful by darkhorsery (NC-17)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Length: 5,600 approx.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] darkhorsery
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

One of Sam Tyler's key character traits is his attention to detail. He's picky and meticulous (some might even say anally retentive) and this fic plays on that aspect to great comic effect. Sam has begun to record everything in a secret coded diary, but this only serves to spark Gene's curiosity...

03:47 pm Kings Of The Wild Frontier by ladyofspring (R)
Fandom: DOLLHOUSE
Pairing:Whiskey, Ivy, Dewitt/Dominic
Length: around 8K
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] ladyofspring 
Author Website: NA
Why this must be read:

Another well written and well paced set during the Epitaph time period, Kings features  Dominic on a journey to seek out Adelle years after their confortation in Epitaph One.  Dominic is on point here, but for me, the strength of the story is in the characterization of the supporting cast. Whiskey and Ivy seem unlikely companions, but their dynamic with Dominic is incredibly poignant.

What I particularly love is the powerful sense of yearning and the slenderest thread of hope; this story lingered with me for months after I read it.

07:46 pm Constructs in Progress by Muccamukk (Mature)
Hi there! ::waves:: I discovered this afternoon, purely by chance, that I'm the August driver for Marvel Comics fandom.

Oops.

Still, better late than never, right? And it's not like there's any problem in coming up with a rec on short notice. After all, how many post-Apocalyptic cyborg-unicorn racing stories are there that are set in the Marvel Universe, just waiting to be recced on Crack Van?


Fandom: MARVEL COMICS
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Natalia Romanova/Steve Rogers, Natalia Romanova/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Length: 30,000 words
Author on LJ and DW: [livejournal.com profile] muccamukk
Author Website: Muccamukk's Fanfic Masterlist.
Why this must be read: Post-Apocalyptic cyborg-unicorn racing, with bonus Virgin!Tony Stark.

It's well-plotted and well-characterized, with good alternate universe building. Some of the lesser-seen Marvel characters (like Brother Voodoo) get to strut their stuff in the spotlight.
