Why this must be read:

Jordan Canas: architect, daughter, mother, wife. We don’t get much of her in canon — her husband Kevin’s memories, some pictures in the ARG, and a few panels in TRON: Betrayal. Luckily, fanfic is there to fill the gap.
She gets what she needs out of him. She does not need a jealous boyfriend to fight people when men tell her that she'd look great in a skirt and blouse instead of her jeans and t-shirt. She knows the value of her body, and she loves it, and she will wear whatever makes her feel comfortable and not give a damn what others say or think. She does not need someone to mansplain to her how good she is at what she does. She is entirely aware of how talented she is, and she knows exactly how hard she worked for it. She does not need to be the little woman.

If Jordan was anything like the woman in this character sketch, it’s a pity we didn’t get to spend more time with her.

Warnings: mild spoilers for Legacy
Why this must be read:

Early in Legacy, during Alan Bradley’s visit, the audience is treated to a lovely shot of Sam Flynn’s bruised back and shoulders. In this story, it’s Quorra’s turn to see.
“Are they... Are these bruises?” her soft voice came from behind him, and she sounded enthralled.

“Yeah,” he answered, distracted by the way she was tracing the shape of one mark over his skin. He shivered.

It was a moment before she said anything, and when she did, it was an almost-whisper. “They’re beautiful.”

This is a sensuous story about Quorra’s fundamentally alien nature and her relationship with the very, very human Sam.

04:28 pm Dynamite with a Laser Beam by framlingem (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR TREK: REBOOT
Pairing: Gaila, Uhura (gen)
Length: 7,688
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] framlingem
Author Website: fic tag
Why this must be read:

Starfleet sends Gaila on a mission back to Orion, and Uhura goes with her.

This fic has so much amazing stuff. Gaila and Uhura are amazing badasses -- this mission is not something Gaila wants to do at all, but she does it even though it hurts her, and she does it brilliantly. Uhura is uncomfortable and out of her depth, but she works her strengths and does her duty as well.

There's a subtle exploration of Orion society and Gaila's past with it, an exploration that shows us both how far Gaila has come since she escaped Orion, and how she's not necessarily very different at all.

Both Uhura and Gaila are utterly awesome in this story, but Gaila really shines. And if you're interested in Gaila being awesome, read the rest of [livejournal.com profile] framlingem's stuff, because she writes a lot of Gaila fic.

04:47 pm Rooms To Let Fifty Cents by celli (PG)
Fandom: HAWAII FIVE-O
Pairing: Jenna/Kono
Length: ~300
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] celli
Author Website: celli @ AO3

Why this must be read:
Another really short one, this is a sweet, slightly sleepy moment between Kono and Jenna. I love it for showing off Jenna's slight klutziness, and for how easy and happy they are together - even if they do regularly have things literally fall on them.
