05:09 pm Best Buds, by Cherrel L. Beck (G)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: 740 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://bcl.skeeter63.org/wcherrelbeck.shtml
Why this must be read: Starsky thinks he's going to be replaced! Things aren’t the way they seem, though. I love this story because it makes me laugh. It’s warm and funny and—well, you’ll see what I mean.

EXCERPT:
"OK. OK. I'll admit it. He's younger than me. Sure, more agile too. But I bet his body doesn't carry as many scars as mine does," he muttered. Looking up to see the two flop down beside a large picnic basket, his eyes were swamped with misery.

"You think He's gonna laugh at those sorry excuses you use as jokes?" he blustered, then swallowed hard. "You tell him about the secrets and dreams that we exchanged during late night stakeouts yet?"

He felt as if he'd been kicked in the stomach as a blanket of panic closed in around him. Never had he let anyone get as close to him as Hutch had done.

"Where does that leave me, partner? I'm not gonna just sit by and play the third wheel!" His words gathered strength as anger once more took over. Getting out, he slammed the door and stormed over to the pair.

Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] thady, your driver for Bandom this month. Let's start with one of my favorites that I regularly re-read.

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Joe Trohman/Mikey Way
Length: ~ 4,100 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] falter
Author websites: none that I know

Why this must be read: I have a huge hankering for apocalyptic stories, and how people deal (or not deal) with the changed world.
What amazes me here is the world-building and how much is said with sparse words.
This is so heartbreaking. There is a shimmering of hope though. I love Joe's voice, it rings true to me. I like the pacing, and the progression of Joe and Mikey's relationship.

07:56 pm Tigers on Vaseline by soulstar (G/Green Cortina)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler, Gene Hunt
Length: 2,850
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] soulstar
Author Website: Diavolo Nero
Why this must be read: Sam is forever trying to work out what the heck has happened to him, so he really doesn't need is someone else coming up with their own theory. But then he hasn't reckoned with the Gene-Genie, and really it is all quite as plausible as anything Sam can work out.

Another fic which tells us as much about those around Sam as it does about him - this time it's his Guv, a much more complex man than Sam has given him credit for. And although it's G/Green Cortina rating, there's more slashy subtext than you could wave a copper's truncheon at!

"You heard me. I've been onto your old department, Sammy-boy, and guess what? You don't exist."

Greetings, I’m [livejournal.com profile] aprilleigh24  and I’ll be driving the van for Star Trek RPS this month. This is an amazing fandom, with a ton of talented authors and fabulous storytelling within it. This will be a great month.

Fandom: STAR TREK RPS
Pairing: Zachary Quinto/Chris Pine
Length: 8,620
Author on LJ: _disappoint_me_
Author Website: LJ pinto tag
Why this must be read:

Spending too much time concerned with thinking about what they aren‘t, he neglects to see them for what they are. This is a relatively new story, but one that I've already read a half dozen times. It's a 'Wait, we're in love?' story. It's fluff without sweetness; angst without pain and it'll leave you with tears in your eyes, and a warm feeling in your heart.
