Fandom: STAR TREK REBOOT Pairing: None Length: 372 Author on LJ: nextianAuthor Website: nextian on AO3Why this must be read:Author’s summary: Sulu shouldn't have to be death-defying. As he hangs from the edge of a cliff, Sulu considers just how hazardous it is to one’s health to be stationed on the Enterprise. Virtually every sentence in this fic makes me laugh out loud. It’s also the perfect length for when you’re running off to work or class and just have time for a quick fic fix. Go read it. You won’t be disappointed.

Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH Pairing: None Length: 66k Author on LJ: unknown Author Website:http://www.korossy.org/khk/Why this must be read:K Hanna Korrosy is one of my favourite authors, as she captures the essence of the show brilliantly. I love the humour in this story - it's so understated, and the thought of Hutch in Starky's jeans - well... As she say's in her summary - "sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed".

Fandom: WATCHMEN Pairing: Twilight Lady/Dan Length: ~2400 words Author on LJ: hearts_trickleAuthor Website: http://hearts-trickle.livejournal.com/Why this must be read:The author's summary reads simply, "Leslie visits the Catacombs of Paris", but this story is so much more. The Twilight Lady is barely mentioned in the GN, and yet she's inspired countless fics. This one shows us a woman who is more than just a vamp, and gives us some idea of the fascination she might have held for Dan. The writing is evocative, and merciless, and the reader feels every second that Leslie visits a truer "underground" than she ever could have found in New York. (Claustrophobes, be warned.) "... She paused at the entrance, and looked at the glimmering lights of Paris. 'Au revoir,' she shouted at nothing, and kissed the city goodbye, lest she not come back..."Void[Please remember to leave authors feedback – even a few words mean a lot. :) ] | | |

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. Pairing: Illya/Napoleon Length: 2000 Author on LJ: saki101 Author Website: None Why this must be read:I would recommend any and all of Saki101's work, but alas I am confined to only one story. Her writing style is beautiful, with each perfect word within each perfect sentence increasing the intensity of the story's unassuming sensuality. Nothing is hazy--not the action scenes, nor the coffee cups-- the details are crisp yet somehow remaining duly interpretive. Saki effortlessly balances action, humour and friendship in an understated tale set early in the boys' partnership. Go on, you simply must read it! And don't forget to let the author know how much you enjoyed it! Overtures | | |

Fandom: STAR WARS Pairing: Luke Skywalker/Mara Jade Length: Long Author on LJ: n/a. Author Website: FFN. Why this must be read:
Author’s summary: Mara returns to Coruscant to find that Callista has returned to Luke. The steady sound of the waves rolling gently to lie briefly against soft golden sand accompanied the whirlpool of the young woman's mind as she gazed into her glass of rich, red claret.
