Why this must be read:
This non-Pegasus AU in which Radek meets Evan when he's teaching at Columbia is melancholy, but also hopeful--not sure how the author managed that so successfully. This is a beautiful story of potential paths and choices that change lives, of love and healing.

02:23 pm Night Be Dark For All Of Me by turps33(PG)
Six days late but I'm finally here. Weather issues and work kept me away.

Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Gen Panic at the Disco
Length: 3110

Why this must be read:
Cross dressing in fic isn't something I usually seek out. If it's well written I will read it though and Turps33 makes the story very fluid in a easy to follow way. The anticipation at the beginning is almost touchable and sets up the rest of the fic well. Also it's got just the right amount of h/c in it that levels out into a hopeful ending.

05:07 pm These castle walls bleed lies by marguerite_26 (R)
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Length: 12,000 words

Why this must be read: This is a wonderful story of the aftermath of series three. With Uther confused and unable to rule and Camelot in uproar, Arthur must assume the king's mantle along the way he finds out quite a few truths and secrets.

The author paints a great picture of Arthur's coming to terms with ruling a kingdom, learning as he goes. I like her take on the chaos in the surrounding lands, particularly Cendred's kingdom and absolutely love how she handles the outing of various secrets.

There's some gorgeous artwork with the fic too...why not check out These castle walls bleed lies.

06:40 pm The Tick-Tick-Ticking of Your Heart by fly_to_dawn (PG-13)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER

Why this must be read:

This is one of the best Harry Potter fanfics I've ever read. It *had* to be my first rec here.

This story has so many qualities, that it's hard to tell what the strongest one is. It may be the awesome women galore, or the gripping duel scenes, or the author's skill to flesh out minor characters, or the emotion that the most dramatic passages convey. Oh, well, what matters is that this is a superb gen fic. Highly recommended!

Pairing: Gen, team!fic

Why this must be read:

Frankly, this story is adorable. It takes a quirky (but believable) premise and uses it to beautifully showcase the tight bonds and friendships in the CBI team.  

I think the author's original warning summarizes it best: "Fluff. Really sweet in a confusing way."  Go give it a read!
