09:11 am Doing it a Different Way by Kaye Austen Michaels (NC17)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: novel-length
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] smudley
Author Website: http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/author.php?authorid=55
Why this must be read: Anything by KAM is wonderful, and this one is a particular treat--written for a Christmas challenge, it's not Chirstmasy in the least. Give yourself a long space of time to read, KAM weaves in mentions from several third season episodes, but the main bulk of the story is set before during and after The Plague. Starsky and Hutch are out to find the assassin who brought a plague with him--and then Hutch is struck down, just as the two of them realize they are in love. There's some nice back story on the two doctors who care for Hutch, as well as raunchy phone calls between Starsky and Hutch since Hutch is in isolation.


Doing it a Different Way

Please send KAM feedback if you can since she recently told me she rarely gets any on this great story.

10:39 am All Things Bright and Beautiful by sticktothestory (PG-13)
Fandom: GOOD OMENS
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley (friendship)
Length: ~ 2500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sticktothestory
Author Website: Good Omens fic tag on journal
Why this must be read: Continuing on with the theme of lists, this story is both sad and sweet. It's the end of all things, and Crowley and Aziraphale are the last beings on earth. As they wait for orders, they play out their time with lists - of what they miss, of what they don't miss - and in the process we (and they) learn a considerable amount. Even 6000 years of friendship can hold a few surprises.

Crowley and Aziraphale are waiting for the Apocalypse. Again. )

07:47 pm Almost No One Makes It Out by Atrata (R for language)
Fandom: MARVEL COMICS
Pairing: None
Length: 28,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] atrata
Author Website: multifandom fic & recs by atrata
Why this must be read: Almost No One Makes It Out is a sterling example of the AU form. Take an established universe, change one item -- one crucial item -- and watch what happens. In this case, [livejournal.com profile] atrata created a universe without a Stark Enterprises. Tony's father and grandfather did not create a successful munitions company. So Pepper Potts is not the massively competent personal assistant to a Fortune 500 CEO, but she's still massively competent, and still possibly in love with Tony. JARVIS does not run a high-tech Malibu mansion with its highest-tech workshop, but he's still there, still speaking. Most significantly, Tony Stark does not lead, and has never led, a privileged life. He's still amazingly brilliant and amazingly abrasive, but now he is not protected against the heavy consequences of his own misbehavior by wealth, power and influence.

And yet, he creates the Iron Man, and finds his path in doing so.

Fandom: GOOD OMENS
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Length: ~ 14,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] unravels
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: There's a lot of time spent in GO fic on preventing or surviving Apocalypses (Apocalypsi?). This fic takes it one step further. The war between Heaven and Hell has ended with a clear victor; angels and demons are returned to their separate spheres. Now what?

After 6000 years of living with humans and each other, how do Aziraphale and Crowley cope? The short answer is "not very well," but this story is told with such delightful humour and a truly smartly-wicked Aziraphale that I challenge anyone to not be laughing by the end.

11:36 pm one minute past (five times eden and sylar never met before) by falseeeyelashes (PG)
Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Sylar/Eden
Length: 1,069
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: Master List of Fanfic
Why this must be read:

This pairing is one of my guilty pleasure ships, I mean he killed her, not really the makings of your average romance. But I love AUs, and this piece with its five what if scenarios of how Sylar and Eden could have possibly met hits all my buttons just right.

She meets a guy, a boy, a man. They don’t dance and she nurses a rum and coke she really doesn’t have a taste for. There’s a booth, slick leather, there’s sweat (the back of her neck) and eventually there’s one kiss and then another.
