Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: Teyla Emmagan/Evan Lorne
Length: ~4000

Author's Website: Author's fic on LJ

Why this must be read: I wish there were more Teyla/Lorne fics out there, I love them together. In this fic, Teyla and Evan are kind of hiding their relationship and Evan is trying to be protective of her. Of course he says something wrong and it makes Teyla mad. But she realizes that he's just looking out for her and tries to seduce him. It's a little angsty, kind of sexy and just a bit funny at the end. A perfect fic for this pairing.

06:47 pm Hello, My Name Is... By Carabele
 Fandom: The Man From UNCLE
Pairings: none
Length: 14,100
Author on LJ: Carabele
Author Website:Carabele Fanfiction Page

Why this must be read:
This was one of the first stories I read last year when I first discovered fanfiction. I have re-read it more than once since then, and will probably read it again in the months and years to come. Carabele is a Napoleon girl, unabashedly maintaining the profile of the CEA just as we saw him, plus a few traits reserved for the truly noble and brave. Illya is also true to the episodic accounts; honest and vigilant, not easily derailed from his objectives.
After returning from a mission in which Solo has been injured, the medical staff refuse to let his partner speak with him.  When he finally is allowed in the room, he is shocked and dismayed at the nature of his friend's trauma.  What is the cause?  More importantly, what is the cure?
For the answers, Napoleon and Illya venture into deep waters, emotionally speaking and aboard the Pursang, a vessel rich in MFU lore and speculation. It will become a meeting place, a venue for the two men to examine their lives, their friendship and the dividing line between Napoleon's peculiar amnesia and the path back to his real life. He has lost knowledge of himself, and Illya's quest to bring him back whole and unhindered is the center of this story.
Deep conversations, deeper misgivings from Napoleon, and the determined and loving concern of his friend make this story a cerebral journey into what and who these men are.
I hope you'll enjoy sailing with them.

08:39 pm untitled by anon (PG-13)
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairings: Byron/Bill, HJ/Nelly, the other Minutemen
Length: 2300
Author on LJ: anon
Author Website: http://spam-monster.livejournal.com/2617.html?thread=4243513#t4243513
Why this must be read: This is one of the fics that was written for the kink meme prompt in which Byron beats the crap out of Nelly, a canon point that is only hinted upon in a few places. That alone makes this an interesting read. The characterisation is such that one could totally imagine it having happened that way and in the end, the pairings get some sweet moments. While it does show the drastic difference in the characters' political leanings, this fic does so with a good amount of snark and a little fluff which makes it great fun to read.
