Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Eleventh Doctor/River
Length: 17,112
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] leiascully

Why this must be read: I hate to rec two River fics in a row, but this is an absolutely brilliant character study of River that gives you peeks of her life away from the Doctor.

09:18 am You came along and you cut me loose (PG-13)
Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Length: 4500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] pendules
Why this must be read: Five happy endings Mark and Eduardo never had (and one they did). My fav types of AU are the one that diverge very little from canon. Maybe just one detail. This is a very great exemple!

03:07 pm Tree of Song by Kate(CMT) Not rated but Gen
Fandom: Starsky & Hutch
Pairing: None
Length: 276k
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: http://starskyhutch.kassidyrae.com/kate_fiction.html
Why this must be read:
Kate is one of my favourite authors. This is one of the few that take place immediately after "The Plague". Hutch is recovering, but gets a message from an old friend, that takes the pair to Pennsylvainia, much to Starsky's displeasure.
As with all of Kate's stories it's easy to see the love between them.

07:57 pm Incipit by thehoyden (NC-17)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 8k
Author on LJ:  http://thehoyden.livejournal.com/
Author on AO3http://archiveofourown.org/users/thehoyden/pseuds/thehoyden
Why this must be read:

Another AU, this time with not one but two podfics!  Eames is "Mr. Super Genius Novelist" and Arthur his faithful editor.  I find a good pining story nearly irresistible.  Both Anatsuno and Twilight recorded podfic versions of this.  I recommend both, in part because the combination gives you a small glimpse into the other side of the microphone and all the skill that goes into making a podfic by two very talented creators.

Podfic: Incipit read by Twilight
Podfic: Incipit read by Anatsuno

10:58 pm Little Things by nova333 & Grooming by temperance_k (pg)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 1k + 500 words

Author website: none found
Why this must be read:

As has often been noted, designer fashion plays a major theme in the Inception fandom.  These two short fics are recced together because they use the fashion theme to dramatically different effect.  It is amazing to me how creative writers can take a single idea and offer so many different interpretations.  The color of socks becomes a public declaration of love with a sense of giddy delight in the first.  Bittersweet longing is created in the second fic as his slovenly appearance is how Eames shows his heartache to Arthur.  Both are lovely.
