My apologies in advance, Cousins. I am working from my laptop which is sadly lacking the favourites listings that I have on my descktop computer and I can't seem to find the All MFU Crack_Van Delicious page to check and see if this is a rerun, so if it is, I am heartily sorry. On the other hand it is a damn fine story and deserves a second go, I think, in case it is a rerun. Hawt slash is always in style, I say.

Why this must be read: Ok, the author note says that it is an updated timeline but other than Illya being only Russian and not actually a Soviet and a few mentions of flashdrives, this is so close to being just like correct!timeline!MFU that you won't notice it isn't. And yes, the beginning of the story is 'we had to do it for the mission' but the actual twisty turning plot will distract you from that right away. What I love about this story is that Waverly has a completely modern outlook on nondiscrimination policies and doesn't care who his agents sleep with as long as they do their jobs. That's a world I would like to live in. I also love the convoluted plot in the second half and how Illya outsmarts more than one bad guy. I love that the author never strays into 'Illya is weaker' territory and lets the characterization of our boys shine true. The hawt parts are hawt, I don't hate that either! This is a juicy (in SO many ways) piece with a great story to tell. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy the ride.

Why this must be read: - Blair has finally had enough, and left; a friend has lent him a boat, and he's gone off in it. But each of the Major Crime staff gets a knitted present on their birthday, and at Christmas...

Shedoc handles 'guilty' Jim very nicely and by the end it's a moot point who is comforting whom.

This is the first of three stories; the middle one, very short, could be called a linking segment that seems to have been written a few months after the other two; for a summary of Primitive 2, Shedoc says 'more melodrama than you can poke a stick at!' (Jim goes feral). However, the first (which does stand on its own) is definitely my favourite of these 'Primitive' stories; I'm really only listing the other two because they follow it.

Why this must be read: Well this story puts a new twist on Jeannie Walton, she's not the nice, helpless girl Hutch remembered. This story is full of Starsky angst and lots of Hutch hurt/comfort and lest I forget, jealousy!

At the small diner on 12th Street, Hutch ordered a salad and a glass of water. “Jeannie?” he asked.

“Oh, um, just a Tab, please,” she said, her eyes never leaving Hutch’s face. He’s even more handsome now, if that’s possible, she thought. I should never have left him. We were so perfect together. Remembering their nights together, she wet her lips and put her hand out to take his across the table.

“Hutch, remember all the good times we had together?”

“That was a long time ago.”

“Oh, Hutch…I made a mistake. I thought you would be better off without me, but now I know we need to be together.”

Hutch watched her face, remembering. He could separate her from the horrible ordeal he went through with Monk and his goons; that wasn’t it. He just couldn’t manage to dredge up any feelings for her at all. Gently, he disentangled his hand from her grip. “Jeannie, I meant what I said when I told you if we were going to end it, we needed to really end it. I thought you meant it, too.”

“But…it’s been a year! We can try again!”

Why this must be read: It's Starsky and Hutch's first anniversary as a couple of sexual lovebirds and Hutch wants to do something special for Starsk. He keeps it a secret. Remember the last time Hutch kept a secret from Starsky? It went very badly(The Fix). I hope this time he learns his lesson before it's too late.

Hutch grabbed the polish and proceeded to apply the final coat to the wooden hatch which led down to the bowels of the boat. The sun was warm and the perspiration dripped from his forehead as he worked the polish into the woodwork.

This first year with he and Starsky as a couple was approaching and Hutch wanted something memorable. Normally, Hutch would’ve found tasteful and sedate gift, but this being their first was special. He wanted everything that came with sweeping his partner off his feet. Envisioning Starsky’s reaction, Hutch smiled.

He knew Starsky would initially view this boat with some trepidation, but was confident when he showed the advantages of taking a boat out into the open water. After finding a private cove, Hutch was confident his lover would jump in with both feet with Starsky style.

A shadow covered his hands and when Hutch looked up, a tall figure loomed over him. He got to his feet and stepped off the cutter onto the dock.

“Here, you look like you could use this.”

Hutch grabbed the beer in appreciation. Kyle was someone who befriended him a few days after Hutch started working on the boat

Pairing/Characters: gen. PJ Ransone, Chloë Sevigny, Stark Sands, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan Skarsgård, Paul Betteny, Jude Law, and Johnny Depp.

Why this must be read: Two words. Chloë Sevigny. Or if the human hipster trump card isn't enough to sway you, what if I tell you that this is perhaps the most eccentric zombie fic I have had the pleasure of reading? It's set in post apocalyptic England which is overrun with the undead and where, through the intervention of Paul, PJ and Chloë are recruitment into a local zombie killing franchise. Together they find themselves teaming up with Stark and Alexander who once thought they were the same person, Paul whose world revolves around tea, and rivals with Jude Law who has a Swiss on his team and is thus luckier than PJ and Chloë's team.

There is something so off kilter about all of the characters and the way they interact with each other and the world around them. The rather gruesome reality of their situation isn't ignored, but __sine employs black humour in a wonderfully batty and sharp way, making this one very rollicking read.

This fic is part of a wider zombie 'verse called the plague_project (which is also excellent) created by laiqualaurelote. I would highly recommend you take the time to check it out also.
