Fandom:STARSKY AND HUTCHPairing:noneLength:16580 words: Author on LJ:unknownAuthor Website:http://www.starskyhutcharchive.net/viewuser.php?uid=138 Why this must be read: I loved this little angsty fic. It starts out on a sweltering 98 degree day in BayCity. Hutch is sweating buckets, it's making him grumpy and to top it all off his car breaks down. That is just the beginning of a bad day. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Then something terrible happens to Hutch and Starsky has to find a way to help his partner, but time is not on their side, it is tick, tick, ticking, away. It's already 91 degrees here at WBCY on this sultry Thursday morning. Yes, it's going to be another hot one folks. We should see that mercury top out at about 98 degrees under a sweltering midday sun. Not a cloud in the sky and no relief in sight. So grab that suntan lotion and head for the beach. On a day like today, it's the only place to be. And if you're one of the unlucky ones who has to be at work by nine, well you better put the pedal to the medal, 'cause the time is now 8:53."

Fandom: THE X-FILES Pairing: Mulder/Scully Length: 2000 words Author on LJ: threeguessesAuthor Website: Fic MasterlistWhy this must be read:This is a creepy, disturbing masterpiece. One of the hardest things for those of us who are die-hard MSR shippers is that there is something fundamentally unhealthy about much of their reliance on each other; the world has shaped them into a very codependent pair, and each's ability to proceed without the other becomes, over time, more and more limited. This looks at what happens when the inevitable happens. It's not a spoiler to say this begins with Mulder's (off-camera) death. A worthwhile, if dark and sad, read.

Title: Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight Author: freddylloydCharacters: The early Teen Titans (Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, and Aqualad), their allies (Speedy/Roy Harper and Beast Boy), and the Justice League of America (Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black Canary). Length: 22 comics pages Author Website: LJ Tags Why this must be read:For crossover day, I had no problem picking this utterly on point saga of the Teen Titans as they emerged from the primordial soup of DC, with characterizations gleaned from later incarnations of the group. Join with me in reading this nostalgic adventure with full-on 60's atmosphere, from Robin and Wonder Girl dancing The Swim to Roy Harper wearing a turtleneck and blazer. It's fun and exciting and the possible addition of the writer's sketches just adds to the allure, though this story is complete in script form. Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight | | |

Fandom: STAR TREK:REBOOT Characters/Pairings: Kirk, Spock, McCoy Length: ~5400 Author on LJ: thistlerose Author Website: also at AO3 Why this must be read: He wishes he could share it, this joy, this knowledge that he isn't alone anymore. This is a wonderful and chilling take on the mpreg trope. Kirk believes he is pregnant, and while it is true that he has something inside him, but it is certainly *not* a child. ( Read more... )

Fandom: MERLIN Characters: Merlin/Morgana Length: 3386 Author on LJ: fiercynn Author website: Her masterlistWhy this must be read: This is the Merlin/Morgana hate!sex fic that S3 was begging for. This is Morgana, arrogant, haughty, reveling in her power, "a year later and a year darker." This is Merlin, confused, watchful, trying desperately to keep all the secrets he's keeping straight in his head. This is how the two of them come together, united in mutual distrust, trying to thwart each other at every turn while also reveling in their nights together. This is Season 3 Merlin/Morgana in all its twistedness and murkiness and uncertainty, as it's meant to be.
He stares at her, unable to say anything, and slowly the corners of her mouth lift again. She gives him a considering look before pulling her arm easily away from his grasp and sliding away. It's not fair, Merlin thinks, that after defeating her last night, after making such threats, after looming over her with all his certainty in his eyes, he should find it so hard to catch his breath, yet again.I, I was the only one to know | | |

Fandom: Canadian Actor RPF Pairing: Callum Keith Rennie/Hugh Dillon Length: 3,841 words Author on LJ: akamine_chan Author website: Fic on AO3Why this must be read: Because this story, broken up into sections loosely framed by song titles from Revolver, has a raw authenticity and insight, you feel that Akamine has put you inside their heads. She vividly brings Callum and Hugh's Hard Core Logo/Roadshow ups and downs to life: the lines blurring between Callum/Hugh and Billy/Joe, their complicated relationship, and the struggles of addiction--to people as well as substances. ( A preview... )You can read Revolver here at Yuletide or AO3, and please remember to leave feedback for the author. | | |
