06:49 am A Reason For It All by Bardicvoice - G
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Gen
Length: ~2.300
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bardicvoice
Author Website: AO3; FFNet
Why this must be read:

This is a rather short and not a very usual story. Not CI5 action, not danger, no mystery. Just Bodie and Doyle, dealing with life.
What we'll find here is a sense of the deep connection between these men; a perfect depiction of how different they are in more than a way, and how this works in their benefit.
If you want to see what I'm talking about, follow me under this pretty cut )

Now, of you want to see the rest, go here: A Reason For It All, and not forget to let know the author what you thought :D

04:16 pm Has-beens and Wannabes by Kikkimax
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: gen
Length: 10720 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: http://www.fanfic.otherplaces.net/sentinel.htm
Why this must be read: - Blair is a cop, but because of media attention he has been assigned to work cold cases, and Jim has chosen to go with him. When they hear of a murder, TPTB won't listen to their thoughts on the situation because Blair is the witness - Jim was 'too far away' to hear anything. It sets in motion a series of events that changes everything.

Kikkimax always weaves an interesting story and this is no exception as Blair discovers exactly what most of the cops in the PD think of him.

08:00 pm Darker Pieces of the Night by zuben_eschamali (NC-17)
Fandom: WB/CW RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Length: 16,488, plus timestamps
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] zuben_eschamali
Author Website: zuben_fic
Why this must be read:

In honor of the arrival of my copy of the Dr. Horrible book (with sheet music!), today’s first rec is all about the power – superpower, that is. Yep, it’s superhero!Jared! To quote the author, “Even in a world where extraordinary mutations are increasingly common, being born with wings makes it difficult to lead anything like an ordinary life. Jared is a solitary semi-superhero who makes a rescue one night that puts him in danger with only the man he rescued to guide him through it.”

Written for [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang, this fic is full of gorgeous imagery, and even more gorgeous characterizations. It was very difficult to pick which fic of zuben’s to rec – they’re all that great – but I decided this was a good way to introduce you to a terrific author.

08:05 pm Home is Where the Heart is by hunters_retreat (NC-17)
Fandom: WB/CW RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Length: 5k, maybe?
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hunters_retreat
Author Website: Master fic list

Why this must be read:

My geekery now takes us into the realm of sci-fi (and my favorite type – futuristic without getting too techy), with Jared as an Empath newly assigned to the space station where Technopath Jensen works (so yes, it hits my superpower kink, too). This is one of those stories that just makes me happy when I read it, reminding me of Anne McCaffrey’s sci-fi books, Babylon 5 and DS9 (if those last two places were fluffier) all at once. Plus, it has one of my favorite characterizations of Jensen - smarter than smart and no-nonsense, but still clueless about some very basic things.

08:50 pm The Russian Samovar Affair by Avery1
 

Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E
Pairing: none
Length: 7,926
Author on LJ: Avery11
Author Website:Avery1 on Fan Fiction
Why this must be read:


When Avery showed up on the scene last year, she was immediately welcomed into the community, her work instantly striking a chord among those who discovered her delightful and meaningful stories.  Her writing is elegant and evocative, drawing in the reader as only the best are able to do.  She weaves a story with an attention to detail that makes the settings seem real, the characters full of a pathos and integrity that we all knew in our hearts was present.  
You'll find a mystery here, an elderly woman with secrets and special senses; a missing Russian and his worried partner.  It could be any story from the MFU world of fiction, but it isn't.  It is a story worth more than one reading, from an author you'll want to get to know better.
Get ready for a very enjoyable and memorable experience with The Russian Samovar.

11:39 pm Faithful in Her Fashion by Irrealia (R)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Ten/Rose, Rose/Multiple OC's
Length: 1025
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] irrealia 

Why this must be read:

It's finally not a PG one! ;)

In between the Doctor leaving Rose in Pete's World and them meeting again Rose goes all BAMF. 
This is the story of her growing up from the happy go lucky girl the Doctor knew into the massive gun toting kick ass woman in 'Turn Left'.

Irrealia has written a lovely if slightly angsty view of Rose's life 'after the Doctor'.

At first, right after Canary Wharf, she doesn't want to be touched at all. Every touch reminds her of the hand that failed to catch her, the hand she'd held a thousand times before and would never hold again. Every time someone took her hand it was as if her whole body sighed and relaxed—for a moment, until she realized she wasn't holding HIS hand, and she would remember what had happened all over again. She wears jumpers with too-long sleeves, chunky knit armwarmers, or heavy leather gloves whenever possible. Fortunately, the rough field work she does for Torchwood often justifies her new-found penchant for hand protection.
