Why this must be read

Honestly, because it's oparu, seriously, because the author is a sensitive and thoughtful writer. This story is a nice little moment on the Voyager crew and deserves to be read for the joy of it. Oh, and yes, I do recommend the author's other works as well *grin*

05:38 pm Apache by Shedoc
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: gen
Length: 8590 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: www.wolfpanther.com
Why this must be read: - Shedoc is one of two writers (to my knowledge) who has taken Blair's line from Seige (I flew Apaches in Desert Storm) and written a story about it. (I Flew Apaches In Desert Storm by Debra Baschal was recced here in 2004)

Where Blair is outed in Debra's story by someone from his past turning up, in this one he is outed when a TV programme about Desert Storm shows Blair as a helicopter pilot for a medi-vac crew...

Not only does this story show Blair's strength, it also shows what is basically his low self-esteem. A nicely-paced story interspersing Blair's story with the reactions of his friends in Major Crime during the commercial breaks. But, late on in the story, it's Daryl who has what has to be one of the best lines in the story, at a dramatic point where the program is interrupted by one of those breaks.

There are two sequels, one direct, the second a snippet based on what seems to be a throwaway line at the end of the first story.

11:26 pm All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone by 0bscurity (PG-13)
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairings: HJ/Nelly, implied Byron/Bill
Length: 1942
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] 0bscurity
Author Website: http://watchmenfic.livejournal.com/25344.html#cutid1
Why this must be read: This fic is in one word heartwrenching. In another, beautiful. Pure angst in which Nelly and HJ go to visit Byron in the asylum after all is said and done, after the war didn't happen, after "the world is saved". If you want a really good but angsty read, this is for you. Though I'd ready the tissues and the fluff to read afterwards.

Why this vid must be viewed: Here we see the Q/O relationship through Obi-Wan’s eyes as the events of the prequel trilogy are recalled. This is a lovely vid, one of the best in TPM fandom and I’m so happy to be able to rec it! I love the sepia coloring and the added song text to selected scenes; it’s a nice touch. And of course the song fits beautifully with the theme of the vid.
