01:09 am Crossing the Gap by sanguine2 (R)
Fandom: HAWAII FIVE-0 (NEW)
Pairing: Steve/Danny
Length: 3, 146 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sanguine2
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:

This fic is moving on so many levels, the amount of respect and honor it portrays. All the while giving us a glimpse into a part of Steve's character that doesn't get touched on much in ficcage. As a watcher of many shows that showcase the miltary (NCIS, Stargate, ect.) and being from a strong military family, my respect for those individuals, and their families, who sacrifice so much for their country knows no limit. Reading that portrayed so lovingly in a sanguine2's deft hands was a real treat. Then add that onto a fantastic character and relationship piece and you've got a fic that deserves to be spotlighted and remembered.

03:38 pm I Am What I Am by myscheherazade (PG)
Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: Andy Murray/Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic
Length: ~ 1000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] myscheherazade

Why this must be read: This fic is perfect as a way to describe the Big Four of tennis.  There is no action - I'm only writing the pairing listing as a threesome because that's what the author did.  The fic was written around US Open 2010, when Rafa was #1 and Novak beating Roger at a major was an unusual event.  We're in Andy's head as he's supposed to be congratulating Novak for that win but is busy being stuck in his own head and texts Stan instead.  It's probably a safe bet that if there's angst involving the end of a Grand Slam in the last few years and not about the Federer/Nadal rivalry, it likely involves Andy and this works perfectly in describing the "fourth in a three-man legend".

04:02 pm In A Cold Climate by katrin (R)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Thatcher/Kowalski, one-sided Fraser/Thatcher, one-sided Fraser/Kowalski
Length: 1000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] katrin
Author Website: none found
Why this must be read: If you're looking for romance for these two (or romance at all), this fic is not it. Rather, it's an interesting look at Thatcher, an angry, frustrated, but still competent Thatcher, and how she strikes sparks with Ray.

06:44 pm White Wolf series by Jen Hall NC-17
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH 
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: (3 parts together) 62,125 words
Author on LJ: N/A
Author's Website: Greenlady's fanfiction
Why this must be read: Jen Hall just has this wonderful way of showing deep tenderness in her AU stories. I simply love them. This one is set during World War II. Hutch is an unwilling Nazi trying to help the Jews and others targeted by Hitler and his minions, and Starsky is a Jew. It begins when Hutch saves Starsky, so if you don't like the thought of him in a concentration camp, you don't have to endure that--don't worry. Please leave the author feedback if you enjoy what you read!

09:34 pm Memories by Lawnnun (PG-13)
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairing: Dan/Walter
Length: 7452
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lawnnun
Author Website: Watchmen Kinkmeme v. 5.0
Why this must be read:

Rorschach goes up against the Slenderman. (For anyone who doesn't understand the full horror/awesomeness of that, see here.)

Dan has never seen Rorschach gibber before. Sure, what they (Dan isn't even sure that's true, that he didn't just see shadows and Rorschach's terror) had seen had been weird, but weird is what masks do.

"Seen him before!" Rorschach nearly shrieks, after a solid ten minutes of meaningless sounds a prayer.

"When? Where?" Anything to get some sense out of him. Dan doesn't know if he's more afraid of his partner right now, or for him, but he grabs his shoulders to stop the pacing.

"Only a child." His voice has dropped to the tiny voice of a child, frightened of any sounds in the dark, even his own. "Saw him. And Daniel..." He clutches at Dan's arms, trembling all over. "He saw me."
