Why this must be read:
This is one of my favourite "twenty facts" fic in any fandom. It's genuinely touching, and seem to flow out of Misa, with her broken girlishness.

05:03 pm VID REC: The Sentinel - Stuck in the Middle With You

Well, here in the States it’s the start of a three-day weekend. What better way to kick it off than with a Friday Night Drive-in!

Vidder: Jane Davitt
Musical artist: Stealers Wheel
Pairing: none

Why this vid kicks ass: It pays homage to a (mostly) unsung hero of the show – Simon Banks. And it’s a lot of fun.

The running joke of the show is that, when it comes to the “sentinel stuff”, Simon wants to know as little as possible. However, neither Jim nor Blair would have been able to function without his support. And, in reality, Simon is as stalwart a friend and backup as they could have wished. The vid highlights Simon as cop, friend, boss and, in his own way, trouble-magnet. Enjoy!

Why this must be read:
Sometimes bandom gets overwhelmed with angst and drama stories. While those are awesome and shiny, sometimes I just want a happy little fic to settle down with. This is one of those. It's about highschool and relationships and is just sweet with the hs fail.

09:59 pm VIC REC: The Mentalist - Requiem for a Dream by TVfreak56sback
Vidder: TVfreak56sback
Musical artist: Clint Mansell
Pairing: Gen
Vidder on LJ: Not sure if he/she has one at the moment.

Why this vid must be viewed:

This vid was introduced to me as a good "intro to fandom" vid. But not only is it a good intro vid, it's an epic intro vid. Honestly, watching this vid (which I have done, over and over again to the point that someone really needs to make me turn off my laptop) makes me want to pop in my Mentalist DVDs to rewatch all the fun/tense/amusing/frightening scenes portrayed. The pacing is amazing, and the song is extremely cool. I highly recommend checking it out.

Why this vid must be viewed:

This is a very sweet and poignant Jane/Lisbon vid. The song choice is beautiful and absolutely spot on to highlight how much strength the two of them can draw from each other. It's a lovely, lovely vid.
