Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 77K

Why this must be read: This is for those Hutch fans out there. Hutch has been kidnapped and Starsky arrives after the rescue. What happened, how and why comes out slowly in a series of slow reveals as Hutch works up the nerve to tell Starsky something else very important. Lovely details, wonderful atmosphere, and the guys together, working things through as partners. It's a little sad, scary--and hot.

05:53 pm Twenty Things About Harry Potter (Ravenclaw, 7th Year) by Mad Martha (PG)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Gen; Harry Potter
Length: 1,287

Why this must be read:

Sorting Hat AUs are a very popular genre in this fandom, and it's always interesting to see how writers re-write the personalities of the characters we know so well from canon to fit into their new houses. This author does an excellent job characterizing a Harry Potter who could have possibly ended up in Ravenclaw.

Harry doesn't quite know how he ended up in Ravenclaw.

I'm [livejournal.com profile] netgirl_y2k, your reccer in Merlin fandom this month. As a declaration of interest I haven't been active in the fandom for some time so most of my recs will be from the first two series of the show, but there are still many good things to enjoy.

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Gen; Nimueh centric
Length: 25k

Author Website: Fanfiction Masterlist
Why this must be read:

I can't be the only person who thinks that Merlin's offing of Nimueh at the end of S1 was a bit... easy. This fic is an intriguing look at how Nimueh might come back and how her destiny might be entwined with Merlin and Camelot's.

Geese are horrible.

They seem to hate Bess for the same reasons other animals adore her, snapping at her gentle fingers and hissing at the soft sound of her voice. They are fat and dirty and loud and she hates them as much as they hate her, and one day the largest, meanest gander chases her into the pond, white wings outstretched, his sharp beak reaching for her face.

She lands on her arse in the muddy water and starts to laugh.

The gander stops mid-attack, confused.

Bess clutches her stomach, laughing so hard she can barely speak. In between giggles she manages to say something that sounds like, all-powerful sorceress and feared by an entire kingdom and defeated by a Christmas goose.

The gander ruffles his feathers. It’s not polite to mention Christmas around a goose.

“Sorry,” she says, wiping her eyes. She stands, and then starts to giggle again when her skirts make a slurping sound as they leave the pond. When she gets her laughter under control she holds out her hand, a solemn offering of peace. “Friends?”

The gander waddles away with the put upon air of someone who has much more important things to do, thank you.

“I could turn you into a toad,” she shouts after him. “Or worse, a duck!”

All told, she’s had far more unpleasant jobs in Camelot than royal goose girl.

Hello everyone.  I am enj412 and I will be driving the X-Files crack van this month.  I am excited to share with you some of my favorite X-Files fan fics.  I am a huge Mulder and Scully shipper so most of these stories will be heavy on the romance.  I also love great casefiles and Mulder profiling fics, so I will try to include some of those as well.  I am also a Mulderist, so many of the stories I have picked tend to be more from his POV, though I also really love stories told from both Mulder and Scully's POV.  Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my selections.  I am pretty sure Aquinnah has been posted before, but please forgive the repeat as this is my absolute favorite fic ever.  I just had to start with this one.   

Fandom: The X-Files
Pairing: Mulder/Scully
Length: Short story/ Vignette
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Love Stories for Mulder and Scully by Anjou
Why this must be read:

I love this story for many reasons, but the main one is the very beautiful way that it captures the Mulder and Scully relationship.  There is some angst- and it wouldn't be The X-Files without some of that- but it is also very hopeful and romantic.  It is about the blossoming of a romantic relationship between our favorite agents, but it is also about the way they understand each other and complete each other as human beings.
