12:13 am This is my letter to the World that never wrote to Me (PG)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: Gen (Suzie Costello, Jack Harkness, OCs)
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sariagray
Author Website: Master fic list on LJ
Why this must be read: Russell T. Davies wanted to have Suzie as a reoccurring villain, but due to circumstances under his control (first Indira Varma working on 3 lbs, then her pregnancy), he never did get to revisit the character during the first two seasons of Torchwood. As a result, the character of Suzie Costello has little to no backstory about the events that made her turn her back on Torchwood and made her hell-bent on killing her father. This fic creates a possible backstory for Suzie, and the fic does it well. Originally for the [livejournal.com profile] tw_femficfest.

01:04 am The Hermit Crab by Dogpoet (Explicit)
Fandom: LEWIS
Pairing: Robbie Lewis/James Hathaway
Length: 6k
Author on LJ:  [personal profile] garryowen
Author Website: Dogpoet at the AO3

Why this must be read:
Because it's warm and thoughtful and believable. Six months in, Lewis is still adjusting to Hathaway: his needs, his silences, his physical presence, his love. Lewis doesn't know how to not be himselfhonest and straightforwardand this fic is a sharp-sweet take on what that means as he slowly but surely collides with the bewitching, cerebral, yearning Hathaway. Oh heart.

James had never been very good at hiding his emotions, even at work. And when they’d begun this, Lewis had seen just how fragile he could be.

02:04 am Just the memory of your face (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Length: 15500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hapakitsune
Why this must be read: soap opera amnesia (Mark wakes up in bed with a husband he doesn't remember and a life he can't imagine having)! Do you want something very romantic, very hot, a little over-the-top-but-whatever-I-still-love-it? This is the fic for you.

Length: 25500 word count
Author on LJ:n/a
Author Website:http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/3/musicof.html
Why this must be read:This is a look at the partnership from the beginning. Woven through many eps, it's a "it could have happened this way" type of story. I love to curl up and read this!

03:32 pm the best thing about being a woman... by nahco3 (R)
Fandom: FOOTBALL (SOCCER) RPF
Pairing: Mesut Özil/Sami Khedira
Length: 5466 words
Author on LJ: nahco3
Author Website: Master Fic List on LJ, Football RPF on AO3

Why this must be read: Genderswap fics seem to comprise a significantly larger subgenre of Football RPF than of my previous fandoms: it's fun to think about how the hypermasculine individuals of the professional sports world might behave if they were women. And this can be explored mainly in a comic context, as in today's fic, or more seriously as a lens through which to view gender inequality in sports, as in the next fic I'm planning to rec.

In today's fic, Mesut Özil wakes up with a problem: he has somehow been transformed into a woman and is desperate to get his own body back. Naturally, Sami Khedira wants to help. [livejournal.com profile] nahco3 takes two fanfic tropes, the first time and the magic dick, and weaves them into a brilliant, hilarious genderswap about best friends who learn that when two people love each other, the sexes of their bodies don't actually matter all that much.

the best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun

08:07 pm Stranger Things Than Known By Man by Nellie (NC-17)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 4k
Author on LJ: http://cthonical.livejournal.com/
Author on AO3http://archiveofourown.org/users/Nellie/pseuds/Nellie
Why this must be read:


Stranger Things Than Known By Man combines the idea that Eames is a forger because he is actually an alien with major tentacle kink.  What's not to love?  Linked are two other stories inspired by the first and be sure to check out the fabulous (though NSFW) fanart by Platina.

08:39 pm Wearing Down the Rough Edges by Kellifer_fic (PG)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 2k(ish)
Author on LJhttp://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/
Author on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/users/kellifer_fic/pseuds/kellifer_fic
Why this must be read:

I have a terrible weakness for the domestication of Arthur and/or Eames fics.  There is something endearing about the idea of master criminals having overdue library books or sharing a sock drawer.  Kellifer_fic is able to do just that without being cloying.  Plus the idea of Eames seeking relationship advice from Dom amuses me.
