Length: ~1650
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] spydurwebb
Author Website: LJ
Why this must be read: It's nice to find a fic that isn't afraid of putting the Third Doctor in a romantic situation. This is a fluffy, short piece about a romantic interlude with Sarah Jane that'll melt your heart.

08:56 am 64 Colors by victoria_p (musefool) (G)
Fandom: AVENGERS FRANCHISE (MOVIEVERSE)
Pairings: None.
Length: 2,049
Author Website: Author on AO3
Why this must be read:

Darcy's life is weird, but she kind of likes it.

This is a genuinely warm, lovely team fic with a Darcy POV which is probably my favourite "outsider" POV on the Avengers as a group.

This is team building with crayons, patience and an understanding that sometimes the simple things are the best.

11:51 am A Clear Violation of the Starfleet Code of Conduct by <user site="livejournal.com" user="tristesses"
Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Pairing: Spock/Uhura
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tristesses
Author Website: AO3 Page
Word Count: 5000
Why this must be read:For one, it's scorching hot--check out the prompt it was written for from the kink meme that was (sigh):

Spock eats out Uhura. On his desk. In between classes. She's extremely aroused and embarrassed from the chance of being caught, while Spock's just "It would be illogical for us not to take advantage of the scant time we are alone". I'd loveloveLOVE it if they weren't officially together yet or if it was just the beginning of their relationship..

For another, it's academy fic and academy fic is the best. The chemistry between Spock and Uhura in this story is amazing and they are just so...cute...in their interactions as well.

01:33 pm ART REC: "Jogging" by fern_tree (White Cortina)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS (UK)
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Length: -

Why this must be viewed:

If you want to rec LoM art, you've got (amongst others of course) to rec Fern! She's got lots and lots of wonderful pictures, from funny ones over those who are just great depictions of what's going on on to darker themes. Everyone knows her "silly" Notes series, I assume (has been recced here before). I especially love her neckless Sam and Gene, so that's why I recommend this fine piece - it's not only nice to look at but also a great character study:

Jogging

But don't stop there, check out her other stuff as well (two links above), e.g. the hilarious LoM Fish AU etc.!!

02:10 pm Like a Spy Movie After the Cold War Ended (G)
Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Chris/Dustin (Mark & Eduardo)
Length: circa 5000
Author on LJ: Anonymous (posted on the [livejournal.com profile] tsn_kinkmeme)
Why this must be read: Technically this is a WIP (stop mod, don't ban me!), but the writer stopped it a year ago in a place that is a conclusion of sort.
Eduardo and Mark playing matchmaker for Dustin and Chris. It's funny, but it has some of great, great insight about love and friendship.

03:39 pm Exit Stage Left by Hutchrules3 (Gen)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: None
Length: 337k
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://starskyhutcharchive.com/stories.php?genre=gen&authid=56
Why this must be read:
This is a story that I lost for a long while - luckily someone gave me a link to it. Whilst it's gen, it shows the love between the boys.
It's a case story, which I always like, with Hutch going undercover in the theatre and is full of Hutch angst. The thought of Hutch in white (Hmm - say no more)! This is one specially for the Hutchie girls.

To access the rest of the story you have to return to the main page (Here http://reocities.com/televisioncity/broadcast/3752/hutchrules3main.html) where there are three more stories. These can also be found on Flamingo's old site.
She did have some stories on the MeandThee site (which is down at the moment) - again unfortunately Exit Stage Left isn't one of them.

05:39 pm Assholes in Love Series by brooklinegirl (NC-17)
Fandom: BANDOM (My Chemical Romance)
Pairing: Frank Iero/Jamia Nestor, Frank Iero/Jamia Nestor/Gerard Way, (Michael Pedicone/Gerard Way, Lindsey Ballato/Gerard Way)
Length: long (77,553 words overall)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brooklinegirl
Author Website: Fic Masterlist at LJ, brooklinegirl@AO3
Why this must be read: The series is best summarized by quoting [livejournal.com profile] brooklinegirl directly: "This is entirely inspired by a) Sinsense's asshole!Frank fic, which is perhaps one of the funniest things I've ever read. And b) by mrsronweasley's thoughts on how asshole!Frank really, really needs to meet a girl who can out-asshole him. Which is what I wrote."
I was sceptical at first, but this series is one of my all time favorites, so I was really glad to see another part added to it for this year's [livejournal.com profile] bandombigbang. It's a mixture of incredibly well-done characterization (and with a character like this Frank, who is anything but self-aware, that is a true challenge), smokingly hot and kinky het sex, and a well-hidden romance. Asshole!Frank can be very offensive, though, so be warned for very crass language at points.

09:30 pm It Seems to Me (I’ve Been Gone a Long Time) by sageness (R)
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Ray Vecchio, Anita Cortez
Length: 6058
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sageness
Author Website: AO3 link
Why this must be read:

On to due South Seekrit Santa, in honor of Christmas in July!

I’ve got two recs from this amazing gift exchange, both gen. This first gives us a glimpse of Ray Vecchio’s life in Vegas, as well as getting to see Anita Cortez, also undercover. I loved the undercurrent of tension throughout this, wondering if either or both of them would be found out.

09:34 pm King’s Daughter, Golden Girl by jamethiel (G)
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Pre-Stella/Ray Kowalski
Length: 3804
Author on LJ: jamethiel on AO3
Author Website: AO3 page
Why this must be read:

While I had a hard time finding any redeeming qualities in canon Stella, I’ve learned to love her in fic. This story (which, full disclosure, was written for me for the 2011 dSSS exchange) is a fascinating look at a young Stella, and how the experiences of her childhood shaped the woman she would become.
