02:23 pm The Ghostlight Affair by UncleCharlie (PG-13)
Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: gen (the slash version is Illya Kuryakin/Napoleon Solo)
Length: 25k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] spikesgirl58 
Author Website: Fanfiction.net, Chrome and Gunmetal (slash works)
Why this must be read:

In this story, Napoleon and Illya go undercover at a theatre to investigate a 'ghost'...as a gay couple. A cliche? Superficially maybe, but it's done with a twist: they are JUST friends, and it's satisfying in that way (and this is coming from a rabid slash reader). There is also a slash version of the story, which I've linked to, but I personally prefer the original gen. So, there's hi-jinks, a rapid meaty plot, utterly wonderful original characters and everything is just delightful and superbly written. It's a humorous tale that will keep you on your toes right up to the story's climax. Why are you still here, people? Go and read it, and if you've already read it, read it again!

06:39 pm With Dignity by [livejournal.com profile] sepulchre_angel (PG-13)
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairing: (Gen) Dan, Rorschach
Length: ~3000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sepulchre_angel

Why this must be read:

There are many "fix-it" fics out there that save our favorite characters, bringing them together, giving them a happy ending. This fic does that without doing that, and it hurts – in a very good way.

10:14 pm Seven Sunday Mother-Daughter Mornings by hradzka/David Hines (PG)
Fandom: TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES
Characters/Pairing: gen, Savannah and Catherine Weaver
Length: 3762
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hradzka
Author Website: A03 account and Fic Tag
Why this must be read:
What if Judgement Day never came? If Catherine Weaver simply continued as head of her company and mother to Savannah? This fic does a great job with an older Savannah-POV, which is a real challenge for characters who are so young in canon. Catherine "off"-ness is subtly rendered, as is Savannah's awareness and acceptance of her mother's nature. Their relationship is both chilling and touching, as it should be.
