This story was written for the 2010 Me and Thee Secret Santa exchange and is a wonderful post-SR first time story, full of holiday cheer, humor, love... and OMG HAWT SEX. Diane’s characterization of the boys is spot-on, the dialogue is hilarious, and the sex scenes are incredible.

Pairing: Anakin/Padmé, slight stirrings of Obi-Wan/Sabé

Why this must be read:

When the notion comes that Padmé is a sheltered character, structured in her idealism without the grounding of gritty real life, what better position to place her in than an AU in which she is a medical doctor? Down and dirty with all the woes and pain of real beings, a doctor's life for Ms. Naberrie involves the Jedi, Anakin and a Sith Lord in an exciting mix of political intrigue and action. Read on to this fic's most satisfying tweak of the prequel trilogy's plot, to discover a Padmé strong in conviction and strong to protect her young without leaving them motherless.

Pairing: Stefan/Elena (vampire!Elena)

Why this must be read:

Stefan and the newly-vampired Elena play a game of hunter-prey to keep their predatory instincts at bay. This is Stefan-Elena as we've never seen them before. They are violent, rough, vicious, and blood-thirsty. But this is also the Stefan-Elena that we know so well. They love each other completely, accepting even the darkest parts of the other. They adapt to challenges, find ways to overcome problems together. Elena is struggling with her new bloodlust, so Stefan finds a way to help her cope and ends up helping himself as well. They are passionate and loving and painfully honest. I particularly love how well the author depicts Elena struggling with her newly heightened emotions and senses.

An Excerpt: It started as a way to calm her down, to center her, because everything is amplified now and her mind is screaming every minute; it feels like there are too many emotions for her body to contain, constantly trying to explode out of her skin with vicious, gnawing hunger always closest to the surface and it’s simply too much. And then Stefan grabbed her by the shoulders and told her he was going to run and she was going to chase him.

It was the single most beautiful solution in the world, made perfect sense on a level she couldn’t explain and when he blurred into the forest, she took off after him on pure instinct.

Fandom: HAWAII FIVE-0 (NEW)
Pairing: Steve/Danny
Length: 12,789

Why this must be read:

This story is known around H50 fandom as the veela story, most probably because, in the story, Danny is a veela. And it's time to mate. It's your classic fuck-or-die situation, H50 style. That means a hilariously cranky Danny, Steve being more psycho than usual and Kono as the cockblocker from hell. Chin is long suffering, as always. And guess who Danny needs to mate for life with? Go on, guess!

Excerpt:

It's not until he's in the middle of the whole thing and looks back that Danny realizes something: when he heard the voice in Jack McGarrett's house where voices should not be because it was an active crime scene, he was already on his way to the garage. He tries to convince himself that it was just coincidence, and he really wasn't making straight for the garage in his attempt to figure out what smelled so fucking amazing in that house.

Danny's not actually very good at lying to himself. It's a problem.

His first clue that he's got trouble is when the gun-runner doesn't shoot him.

Or no, maybe it starts before that, when he wakes up that morning with that itch under his skin that feels like his temperature's up, in such a foul mood that even his Gracie better not set a foot out of line. Fortunately she's an angel, so by the time Danny drops her off at school he's in a little better a mood; but three hours later, when he's staring down the barrel of his own gun into the barrel of a gangster's, because that is how his life goes, he's wondering if it would really be so bad to pull a page out of Steve's book and throw the guy off a roof.

10:26 pm Fandom Overview Update: Glee
It’s been a while since [livejournal.com profile] ashedrake wrote the fandom overview for Glee. Which leaves me with a season and a half’s worth of updates for you all! Since her overview was fantastic and thorough, and there’s no way I can live up to it, I’ll just try to fill you in on the general plot, new characters, and things that have happened to the main cast as best I can. Sorry if it’s a little long, there's a lot to cover.



General Summary
First, let’s start off with what happens in the second half of season one: there’s a lot of great drama and character development as we watch New Directions’ further struggles to actually make it to regionals. A lot of great stuff happens here, but spoilers abound for episodes 13-22 of season one, and all of season two, so don’t read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled.
