10:34 am Clean by Courts (PG-13)
Fandom: AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 7
Pairing: David Cook/David Archuleta
Length: 2,100 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] courts
Author Website: fan fiction index

Why this must be read: The summary: He wasn't sure why Cook was doing this, but he wondered how weird it was for him to find it comforting.

This is one of the most erotic fics I've read but there's actually no sex. I think the appeal and why this works is that Cook presents this [sharing a shower] as the most normal thing in the world and David just rolls with it. The build to the penultimate scene is so well done, or the pacing is perfect.

Ok, I might have a thing for Jimmy. But really, any role that Cas plays on Supernatural is perfection. I really loved the promise of Jimmy. That all aside...

4th and 5th season apocalypse stories are my favorite and I like this one in part so much because while it gives us a glimpse of an apocalypse we could have seen, it's about what happens after. And what does happen after the apocalypse is over and the rest of the world never even paid attention? Well, you go back to your life from before, right? But there's a lot of consequences to that, emotions, and Dean has never been good at normal, anyway.

The loss Dean feels with Cas gone, his attachment to Jimmy, and frankly, Jimmy's attachment to Castiel (and Dean) make for one hell of an emotional clusterfuck in the wake of the apocalypse. It's interesting to see what has become of Jimmy's faith, of his life now that he's no longer a host. I love the thought that goes into their emotional stability, into what happens after. Teaming with great emotion and domesticity, but it isn't overly sappy. I just like how they come together.

Why this must be read: Because it’s sort of reversed The Fix story :)

It was all over in seconds. And suddenly Starsky was standing in a room with five bodies and one partner staring at him in shock.

You could be a cop or a soldier, but not both, and for a minute he’d definitely not been a cop. Two men lay dead by his hand, savagely killed. Easily. Mercilessly.

So much for control. Starsky nearly sobbed a laugh. The gun dropped from his hand and Starsky followed it.

02:22 pm Safe in the Difference by alianora (G)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Simon/OFC
Length: 545 words

Why this must be read: Going AU after the episode "Safe," this fic is a short study on what life might have been like if the Tams had found a place on Jiangyin.  You can of course see the appeal in staying on Serenity versus in a backwater village that burns witches at the stake, but it was never clear to me that being on the move would ultimately be safer than staying in that kind of village.  This fic takes that and sprints with it.  Short but effective.

It's a different life. )

Why this must be read: We all know that Gibbs likes to abuse the elevator as his personal conference room. So, it's no surprise that the poor thing isn't working properly anymore, right? In this wonderfully funny story, Team Gibbs is trapped time and again in the elevator. How the different team members deal with it is absolutely hysterical.
