12:03 am you know we've missed a turn, by onthecount - R
Fandom: INCEPTION
Title: you know we've missed a turn
Pairing: Ariadne/Mal
Length: 3,095 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] onthecount
Author Website: masterlist of fics on author's journal
Why this must be read: In my opinion, you can never have enough Ariadne/Mal, and this AU is one of my favorites. Charming and sleek and sexy, it's a racy little story wherein Ariadne works at a Victoria's Secret, and Mal is her best customer. What I love about this fic is how seductive Mal is, how dangerous but still vulnerable. This is the real-life Mal we never got to see in canon, but her connections to the deadly shade in Cobb's subconscious are clear. Ariadne is adorable in her infatuation, and together they're irresistible. And any fic that has Mal modeling lingerie gets my vote for hottest of the hot.


when Mal opens the door, she's in a pair of black brief underwear and a zebra print bra )

08:18 am Poppa Spook meets Armando Langoustini by ButterflyGhost
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: None
Length: 1677 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bghost
Author Website: On Ao3

Why this must be read: Vecchio in Vegas fic isn't new, but ButterflyGhost takes this and writes a series of short chapters that tugs on the heart. Ray has his ghosts, and they won't leave him alone; in all of it, he has one thing he clings to, as much as he possibly can. Handled deftly and with obvious love for the character, this is a great read for any Vecchio fans.

10:23 am when it's said and done, by Phenylic (PG-13)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Title: when it's said and done
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 5,920
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] phenylic
Author Website: author's works on AO3
Why this must be read: From the fic summary: Eames told Arthur that he loved him seven years before Inception. When Eames pushed his suit, Arthur set him seven impossible tasks. For me, the joy of this fic is in watching Arthur and Eames go about their regular day-to-day lives of international dream thievery, while growing together, growing older, and performing seven impossible things. Aside from the fact that they are adorable together in this fic, it injects a touch of fairy tale into the universe of Inception, a sparkle of pure magic that makes the grand love between Arthur and Eames just that much more epic--just that much more profound. ♥


Eames is only just beginning to realize that this is highly unfair. )

06:13 pm No Earthly Treasure by Laylah, M
Fandom: HOMESTUCK
Pairing: Dualscar/Dolorosa
Length: 3.5
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: On AO3 
Why this must be read: All of Laylah's fics are as gruesome as they are beautiful as they are viciously well-done. Picking just one was incredibly hard, but if you like watching good people try to cope with awful situations this fic is a perfect gem, and one of my favorite Ancestor-era stories ever. 

Instead of having Mindfang's new favorite slave assassinated, Dualscar steals her in a fit of jealousy and claims her for his own, or tries to.

09:20 pm A Little Liquid Courage by slashscribe (PG-13)
Fandom: NCIS
Pairing: gen, mostly, with focus on Gibbs & Tony father/son (there's Tony/OMC mentioned)
Length: about 4,300 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] slashscribe
Author website/archives: AO3
Why this must be read: So, do you enjoy Gibbs and Tony's father/son dynamic? Because, let's face it, it's more canon than the slashy undertones. ;) I adore a well written father/son story, and "A Little Liquid Courage" is the perfect example of how it's done right. It's sweet and awkward, with a nervous Tony needing reassurance and Gibbs being there for Tony in his usual gruff way. Brilliant all around!

(A Little Liquid Courage)

(There's also a bunch of sequels in which Tony comes out to his other team mates. You can find the stories under the Tony/OMC tag.)
