"Be careful, Richie," Duncan cautioned. "I will, don't worry. It's going to be so much fun!" Richie grabbed another apple and waltzed out the door. Duncan turned to Methos. "Why do I always know it isn't going to turn out right when he looks that confident?" The Haunting of Cartwright Manor | |

Last rec of the month from me. I've had an awesome time getting to share some of my favourite Dean/Cas stories with you. You can catch me next month doing recs for Stargate: Atlantis, where I tend to be a McShep girl. Happy Halloween! Fandom: SUPERNATURAL Pairing: Dean/Castiel, implied surprise pairing Length: ~ 2520 words Author on LJ: morganoconnerAuthor Website: Morgan's Master List of Fics on LJWhy this must be read: I thought we should end out the month on a lighter note, so here's a fun story with jealous!Dean. Someone has made it so that Sam and Cas can't be more than seven feet from one another, a distance that grows even shorter as the day wears on. And, of course, Dean keeps walking in on Sam and Cas at those exact moments when things can be misconstrued. It's fun - for the reader; not so much fun for the parties involved, but the supernatural meddling does achieve the desired result, and a happy ending is had by all. ( It starts with an angel waking up in Sam's bed. )Read the story and remember to feedback the author: Matchmaking for Dummies | |

Fandom: CW RPF Pairing: Misha Collins/Jensen Ackles Length: ~12,800 Author on LJ: cjmarlowe Author Website: Fic IndexWell, let's just start off with the fact that it's a college!AU. There's nothing I love more than a good college!AU (besides a really good high school!AU). Secondly, Misha as a professor? Who does yoga, recites filthy poetry, and once wore a skirt to school? Umm, yes, please! What I really enjoy about this fic, though, is the characterization and the dialogue. The story itself is smart and witty and flows extremely well. And I love seeing a Jensen who isn't a prima donna or jaded by the acting scene, but is talented and smart, even if he's a little awkward with people. The way the author writes the two very different personalities and tastes of Jensen and Misha together is insightful and fun. It's an adorable and sexy fic all at the same time.

This will be my last post for the month of October. I leave you with a nice dark story for this Halloween weekend. It's been fun driving this month. Fandom:STARSKY AND HUTCHPairing:Starsky and HutchLength:One ShotAuthor on LJ: arrow00 Author Website:http://morganlogan.com/
Why this must be read: I was so surprised to find out that this story hadn't been rec'ced on Crack Van. It is one of my favorite stories. Poor Hutch and Starsky are suffering from miss communication and Hutch has a fever. This is full of Hutch angst, beautiful Hutch angst.
His eyes were still shut tight when the faint sound of the door closing snapped them open again. His heart gave a brief pang, making him exhale sharply to ease the pressure. He didn't know why Starsky always left, any more than he understood what circumstances were needed to bring them together in the first place, except it always seemed inevitable, an easy sliding together after a few beers in the quiet dusk after work. No words were needed beforehand, and afterward...Starsky always left.

This is my final rec of the month. It was my pleasure to rec Q/O (TPM) in this community. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride as much as I have! Happy Halloween! Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE Pairing: Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi Length: 310k (Novella) Author on LJ: Unknown Author Website: Unknown, but her their stories are archived at Jedi Masters and Apprentices Why this must be read: Angst, plot, h/c, love and lust, this story has it all. It’s probably one of the most prominent stories in Q/O and definitely one not to miss! This story does not follow the canon events of the prequels. Author's summary: By the time Master Qui-Gon is sent to investigate Knight Kenobi's suspicious activities on the mining moon of Ramos V, he and his former Padawan have been estranged for 4 years. When they finally meet again, Qui-Gon discovers Obi-Wan has a new life, a new home, and a new love... Excerpt: Obi-Wan squinted into the dry gust of false wind, smelling the odor of atmosphere- heated metal and the sharp tang of ozone. Startled jaks burst out of the surrounding trees in a cacophony of angry shrieks and flapped eastwards, silhouetting against the massive yellow circle of Ramos' sister moon. The dancers skittered away across the water in a scattered cloud, blown like seed fluff from a dried flower. A moment later the transport powered down with a fading whine and an occasional gentle puff of cooling steam from the repulsors. He simply stood with hooded eyes and waited for the plank to lower. A crack of light in the darkness and the hiss of hydraulics. Calm. It was a man. A human. He could see by the silhouette. A tall man. A... Oh, no. His mouth went dry, and his heart nearly faltered to a stop. It couldn't be. Was it possible that the Force itself was against him? Force or not, it *was* him. Tall, broad shouldered, perhaps a few more lines around mouth and eyes. The hair was a bit longer, slightly more silvered, the beard a little less scrupulously trimmed. But there was no one else in the Order who carried that natural air of command. That serene aura of complete and utter confidence. Of all the ones to send. Of all the times to have this meeting forced.... Silent Faction | |

Fandom: FIREFLY Pairing: Slight Kaylee/Simon Length: 6000 K Author Website: Shanna at The Firefly's Glow ArchiveNote: The Author uses the numerical tonal system in this story so you will see numbers mixed into the Mandarin. Think of it like chords for music and it will seem less jarring. Why this must be read:Simon is such an out of place character. He's polished and kinda wimpy compared to the rest of Serenity's crew. But he's also possibly the bravest of them all. This story fleshes out Simon a bit. It gives the reader a view into just what he was thinking when he rescued River. You realize just how lost and alone he must of felt on Persephone. Though nothing can explain away those glasses. Nothing... "I can't do this, he despaired for what had to be the millionth time in his journey. He wasn't cut out for this kind of life. He was entirely unprepared. He was doomed to fail, and when he failed, he was dooming his sister, as well. But if he didn't do anything, she was just as doomed, and he wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he'd done nothing. To calm himself, he resorted to a familiar exercise. *Problem: A patient arrives in the ER. He's fallen from a scaffold on a tall building and has multiple fractures and internal injuries. What do you do?* His mental checklist of tests and procedures kept him occupied until he reached the hotel the underground had sent him to, and he'd just finished saving his imaginary patient's life as he reached the front desk."
