Fandom: DOCTOR WHO Pairing: Donna, Doctor (5,8,2,9), Ace (Donna/Ace) Length: 1775 Author on LJ:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) liviiAuthor Website: AO3 TeaspoonWhy this must be read:During Remix Redux 8 livii took a hundred word drabble by aralias, turned it up-side down/inside out, and came up with something amazing. Remember when Donna said that she had been looking for The Doctor by looking for trouble? Livii has written 5 different instances in which Donna find both trouble and The Doctor. Unfortunately it's always the wrong one. Bloody time travelers. This little fic showcases a lovely IC Donna, a couple kooky Doctors, and some blink and you'll miss it Ace/Donna. It also shows off why Livii is one of the top 10 Doctor Who writers out there. Excerpt: "Egypt, it turned out, was rubbish.
Oh, sure, Donna acknowledged that the pyramids were very impressive, and the Sphinx magnificent, but it was hot, crowded, the electricity in her hotel kept going on and off at random, and she kept thinking I could have seen these being built, if I wanted."

Fandom: TRON Pairing: Tron/OC Length: ~600 words Author on LJ: ekala_sy_ephAuthor Website: Warnings: MAJOR spoiler for Legacy. Also, per the author, “tentacle porn, introspective what the hell”. Why this must be read:I’m biased because I posted the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) tronkinkmeme prompt that inspired this story. (Own your kinks, that's my motto.) But come on — TENTACLES! Every fandom needs tentacles! ( It wraps around him, gentle and warm... ) A lot of tentacle porn is about violation; this story is about sex as mystery, communion, and overwhelming pleasure. “Falling” | | |

Fandom: TRON Pairing: gen Length: ~1,200 words Author on LJ: infinitevikingAuthor Website: fanfiction masterlistWarnings: Mild spoilers for Legacy. Angst. Why this must be read:Because every fandom needs a Figwit, and since Legacy came out the leading contender for that position in the TRONverse is Vint, the Program who briefly talks to Sam on the recognizer (“Be quiet if you want to live!”) and teams up with him in the lightcycle match. This story uses Vint as a way to present an elegant, if horrific, solution to a question raised by fans — if the Games are to the death, and they’ve been running for a thousand cycles, how is the population of the Grid still so large? ( His jacket was tight again, new, like him ) It’s illuminating and entertaining to approach canon from a supporting character’s point of view. Vint doesn’t know what’s happening, but he knows something is happening. "It'll be all right." The words were innocuous, a simple plaintext that Vint had repeated less and less often over the cycles, but they felt strange this time. The guards led the next batch of programs through the gate, and he closed his eyes briefly as he realized it was because this time, somehow, he meant them. “loop while answer” | | |

Fandom: STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES Pairing: Kirk/Spock, past Kirk/Gary Mitchell Length: 23k Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: Profile at ff.netWhy this must be read:Requiem for Methuselah is not one of my favorite TOS episodes, mostly because Kirk's responses just don't make all that much sense to me. This story does rely on a Kirk/Spock interpretation of canon, but using that interpretation, it makes the episode make so much more sense to me. The story does go AU in the middle, but the first part -- ever since I read this story, the first part has become part of my personal headcanon, it just makes so much sense to me. But even without that, it's a good story, and Abraxis stays true to the episode's themes throughout. McCoy in the episode talks about the things that love will drive a man to do, and we see that throughout this fic -- and it doesn't even have to be romantic love, because the love between best friends McCoy and Kirk is just as palpable. This story is very much about the agonies and the ecstasies of love, and feels so true to character for Kirk, Spock, and McCoy that I honestly do believe some of this is what was going on behind the scenes in TOS.

Fandom: RPF: THE X-FILES Pairing: David Duchovny/Gillian Anderson Length: 1,263 Author on LJ: dashakayAuthor Website: at AO3, at Gossamer, secretprobationWhy this must be read: The famous hallway scene from "Fight the Future" has a left-on-the-cutting-floor kissing sequence that was put on the Blu-ray release, which subsequently was posted to YouTube. "Cut" was inspired by that very passionate kiss. Yeah, it's very sexy, too, but tempered with sharp observations, and a hint of defiance. Cut | | |
