08:47 am The Pool by ewinfic (NC-17)

Fandom: STAR TREK RPF
Pairing: Zach Quinto/Chris Pine
Length: 4802
Author on LJ: [info]ewinfic
Author Website: Masterlist
Why this must be read:

Chris and Zach take a late night swim, play tag, talk about death, and have fun with the water jets. This fic is by one of my favorite authors. (Please note the lack of qualifiers- i.e. favorite ‘fanfic’ author, or ‘RPF’ author. No, simply put, ewinfic is one of my favorite authors period.) I love how she writes. She makes me slow down my frantic 'hurry, hurry to the end; on with my life' reading habits because I just want to surround myself with her words. You know how the best fiction transports you to another world, place, and time? Well, she does that, and she does it beautifully. I could have chosen from any of her quality fic, (*cough* like this one) but I chose The Pool because the transportation feels so complete. I am at a pool on a summer evening. I can hear the crickets and feel the water against my skin. I am there.

Read this fic now. When you are done, read everything else she’s written.

07:30 pm Gene Hunt's Challenge by peak_in_darien (R/Blue Cortina)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Length: 2,300
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] peak_in_darien
Author Website: LJ fic
Why this must be read: A week into driving the Crack Van and I've not recced any slash? No hot Sam/Gene action? What's wrong with me? This must be rectified at once! So here is a lovely piece of Sam not quite realising what he's taken on with Gene, Gene getting to grips with Sam in more ways than one, and handcuffs. What more could you want?

“Right,” said Gene, and lunged forward. “I’ll show you, you little poofter.”

09:54 pm Moonless Night by Daylilymoon (R)
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairing: Walter Kovacs/Daniel Dreiberg (Rorschach/Nite Owl II)
Length: 22k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] daylilymoon
Author Website: Daylilymoon's Fic Index
Why this must be read:

Daylilymoon's writing on the whole takes my breath away, she slides sublimely from pathos, horror, to hilarity with apparent effortlessness, and this story, while not her only masterpiece, is one of the finest examples of what this writer is capable of. I think this will be enjoyable even to someone with a passing knowledge of Walter Kovacs and his vigilante incarnation, Rorschach. In this story, Walter loses his sight, and what ensues is a hurt comfort fic where the hurt is complex, and the comfort is hard-won. It respectfully and loving paints, through his perspective, the inner workings of this man, a completely well-rounded characterization that digs below the cliches. Walter undergoes some immense and painful realizations while developing something more than a friendship with his ex-partner in crime-fighting, now retired ornitologist, Daniel Dreiberg.
