09:35 am Revelation by Kaye Austen Michaels (Adult)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 13,104 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] smudley
Author Website: Starsky & Hutch Archives, Love of Me and Thee Archive

Why this must be read: When I talk about my favorite S&H writers, Kaye Austen Michaels is always on my list. She has written a wide variety of stories and she delivers what I want in a good tale: great characterizations, good case fic, angst, and love. This particular story is about the first couple of weeks after Starsky's release from the hospital following Gunther's attempt to kill him. Revelations about his life from a decade ago make Hutch question how much he really knows about his best friend, the man he has fallen in love with.

A sampling this way... )

10:08 am Not Angry Any More by Zvi (G)
Many countries around the world choose a day to celebrate our mothers. Today is that day here in the States. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers and to all of us who come from mothers.

Why this must be read: Just a little insight into the mother of one of the show's characters.

Rather than going for the obvious, Naomi or Grace (or Margaret Mary), I wanted to highlight a less-well-known mom and found this short story about Joan Banks. Actually, the story focuses on Daryl, but the exchanges between him and his mother give us some poignancy for their entire situation. Enjoy.

10:10 am Idioglossia by Mira (PG-13)
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Ronon Dex/Radek Zelenka
Length: 4316 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mirabile_dictu
Author Website: Mirabile Dictu's Fanfiction/Stories on AO3
Why this must be read:
This story is somber and reflective of life in war-time in the Pegasus galaxy, yet is hope-inspiring in how people form bonds of friendship and love to carry each other through difficulties. I agree with Leonard Cohen that "Love's the only engine of survival." This story illustrates that point perfectly.

07:38 pm Free Falling by Jumpfall (PG)
Fandom: THE MENTALIST
Pairing: Gen, team!fic
Length: Just over 5k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jumpfall 
Author Website: Masterlist here though I think there are some more recent fics up on hir LJ.
Why this must be read:

I adore all of jumpfall's Mentalist fics, and I particularly heart (*HEART*) this story: it's the very best of team dynamics and character study as the CBI crew works together to rescue Jane from an unexpected encounter with a mine shaft.  (No worries to those who aren't fans of H/C...injuries are minimal and there's very little angst beyond that which a Patrick Jane character study would necessarily contain).

Excerpt

"Do you remember what happened?" Lisbon asks.

"Since the only source of light is above me, I'm going to say - and this is purely speculation here - I've fallen," Jane replies cheerily.
