Tooling along with the van this September:

Fandom: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
Pairing: None
Length: approx 1300 words
Author on LJ: wendiez
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1450704/WendieZ
Why this must be read:

Does anyone doubt that Waverly, astute fellow that he was, had subtle ways to check out certain things about his agents? Especially an agent he intended for a higher post down the road?

This story is an very interesting take on one such tactic by the "Old Man" of U.N.C.L.E.

As the author notes in her own summary "Think gorillas." But no need to groan, MFU-fans [wink]: that isn't meant in a literal sense.

Silverbacks

I am delighted to be driving the van for Sherlock this month. There are so many great stories to share my only regret is being limited to 12. My tastes are eclectic and my recs will be too - long, short, humor, drama, canon, AU, gen, and slash. I will be offering more gen recs than is typical on slash van, because I'm not really a lover of romance stories, regardless of pairing, unless there is really compelling story-telling going on. I think friendships can be just as interesting and complex as romances, if not more so. I hope you will give these stories a try, even if they don't fall into your usual reading range. As for myself, I've found many favorite stories by trying recs outside my comfort zone. I don't think you will be sorry.

OK, let's put it in gear!

Fandom: SHERLOCK BBC
Pairing: John Watson/Sarah Sawyer, Sherlock Holmes
Length: long
Author on LJ: magicbunni    
Author Website: AO3, FF.net
Why this must be read:

The Baker Street Series is made up of four exciting, intricately plotted casefics with engaging characters, wit, and insight. They make a sequence, but each stands on its own. My enthusiasm for sharing Magicbunni's great stories was the reason I signed up to drive the van. If you haven't read them, you are in for a treat.

In "The Ninth Muse" a murder in the very heart of Scotland Yard leaves Sherlock and John with no one to trust and no safe place to hide. A preemptive strike by the murderer leaves Sherlock badly injured and so begins a desperate race against time to solve the mystery before Sherlock's body fails completely.

The Baker Street Series

Hello, everyone! I am slr2moons, and I am your driver for this month's anime/manga featured fandom, the crack-tastic comedy manga Skip Beat! by Nakamura Yoshiki.

I'll be reccing all sorts of fics and genres! Most of them are het romance, as that's what is prolific in this fandom, but I have some great comedies and other gems, too! Skip Beat! has been my favorite manga for years, and I hope I can help spread the joy that can be found in Skip canon and fic!

But first, I am happy to bring you my Skip Beat! fandom overview. *clears throat*

Imagine the purest, most self-sacrificing manga heroine you can. Can you see her, in all her sweet, devoted innocence? Now, imagine what might happen if she SNAPPED.

( Welcome to Skip Beat. )
