10:08 am A Letter Concerning Toleration by igrockspock

Fandom: STAR TREK:REBOOT 
Characters/Pairings:  Spock
Length: ~3000

Why this must be read: In which Spock spends the summer before his first year at Starfleet Academy encamped in a shitty apartment, attempting to explain his refusal to attend the Vulcan Science Academy. Another fic that quietly breaks my heart. Here is Spock stepping out into the universe for the first time but still tied to his parents and his Vulcan heritage. I love his interactions with his mother and his shitty first apartment, but the letter he writes to his father- it's so clear and ordered and logical, but all I see is a son reaching out to his father, begging to be understood.

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: gen some Methos/ Alexa,
Length:~2K

Why this must be read: Eventually everyone asks what his name means. 
This is a cleverly written Methos character piece which brings in so many different facets of Methos, his relationship with the different people in his life and slices of backstory. I also loved the clever look at lingusitics and layer of meanings that could be packed into a single word.

Why this must be watched:

White Collar goes Disney! [livejournal.com profile] crystalshard does a fantastic job of matching clips to the song. This is a fast-paced fun-filled fanvid that should put a smile on everyone's face. It also emphasises how many people seem to hold guns up at Neal during the first season.

10:08 pm Tides of Stars series by Tel (Mature)
Fandom: VORKOSIVERSE
Pairing: (no abbreviations, please)
Length: 76k words

Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

The Vorkosiverse is blessed with wonderful AUs, people exploring "what if?" things had happened differently.  Some are short, some are very very long.  This is a long one, but also one of the more far-out in concept.  Miles from an apocalyptic future (now Jossed since Cryoburn came out) is accidentally sent back in time to Mirror Dance (in the omnibus Miles Errant), with an experimental ship, a dead pilot, Armsman Roic, and a three year old Princess.  He has to figure out how the heck to save the world from the great enemy he knows is coming, starting with fewer resources than he ever has before.  It's gripping, exciting, and wrenches events off course from canon in interesting ways.  And the second story, "We All Want To Change The World" is even better, as they deal with the consequences of the first story.
