06:17 am Eleven Thousand Kings by frankie vikus (PG13)
Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Length: 6,747 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] f_vikus
Author Website: her LJ
Warnings: major character death, very heavy angst
Why this must be read:

OMG... This piece will rip your heart out, chew on it for good measure, and then stick it back in your chest with duck tape and safety pins. Another fic that illustrates the cost of Old Magic, Eleven Thousand Kings goes to the ultimate extreme of a life for a life and shows that those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I won't say anything beyond that as not to spoil anything, but just prepare yourself as this fic will require tissues, hanky, or any available surface really. However, I guarantee that you will be in awe through your tears at the breathtaking emotional depth and sorrowful beauty of the writing with this fic.

12:43 pm I'll Keep You My Furry Little Secret by aramley (PG)
I am amazed that I went this long with not a single recommendation involving my favorite player.  Those who know me realize this took incredible restraint.  But that ends now.

Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: hint of Andy Murray/Rafael Nadal but basically Gen.
Length: ~ 1000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] aramley
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] aramleys_words
Why this must be read: Most AUs require a certain level of disbelief. You would think an AU in which a player is really a werewolf is one of them. The weird part is the answer in this case is no. It may be less than 1000 words but it so easily captures the idea of what it would be if Andy Murray was really a werewolf that you might double take the next time he plays.

05:23 pm Long Walk Down a Short Paved Road by Flamingo NC-17
RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Still driving the crack van and loving it! Here's another story I am very surprised hasn't been rec'd yet. It's by quite possibly my very favorite author in this fandom.

Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 19,719 words
Author on LJ: http://flamingoslim.livejournal.com/
Author's Website: the new Starsky and Hutch archive, the original Starsky and Hutch archive
Why this must be read: OMG, you'll need a cigarette when you finish this one (yes, even if you don't smoke!), just like with most of Flamingo's fics, because it is burning hot, baby! This is a pre-canon AU first encounter story that simply vibrates with sexual chemistry. And it's a good read, too--you can imagine things happening just this way. You have to read it!

07:24 pm Happenstance by Krisser (PG17)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS:
Pairing: Doyle/Bodie:
Length: 101k :
Author Website: Krisser's Pros stories can be found at www.thecircuitarchives.com using the author search


Why this must be read: Krisser writes amazing stories, regardless of the fandom. She writes an tremendous 'partners go undercover and have to pretend they're gay only to discover they are, at least for each other' and then puts both the characters and the reader through the ringer. The lads' relationship, under her care, is always sharp and focused, but she does tend to leave the reader on edge, never knowing which way the story will tip.

Enjoy!
