Fandom: SKIP BEAT! Pairing: none Length: one-shot at 1,470 words Author on LJ: adaliseranisAuthor Website: Scrap Paper - IndexWhy this must be read: This is one of those delightful fics that are a perfect fit with canon. The comedy is spot-on! This fic is also noteworthy for both being gen and not featuring Kyoko in any way--something that's rather rare in Skip fandom. As a quick note, "NG" is the Japanese name for a retake in film. I think it's short for "No Good", but that's a guess on my part. [Set after volume 17 or so, though more for characterization than actual spoilers.] Love Me Too | | |

Fandom: RESERVOIR DOGS Pairing: Orange/White Length: one-shot Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: unknown Why this must be read: This is one of the first, if not the very first fic in the fandom. It's from Orange's point of view and one take on how he got to know White's real name. Many stories focus on the under cover theme, the name thing and Orange's perspective in general and this one is a real classic. Becoming (link via wayback machine) "The trick to going under cover, they said, was to let the small shit happen." ETA: Becoming (ao3) | | |

Hi, everyone! It's great to get a chance to spend another month rec'cing some of my favourite Inception stories, mostly of the Arthur/Eames persuasion. Fandom: INCEPTION Pairing: Arthur/Eames Length: short-ish (posted in comments on Kink Meme) Author on LJ: Anonymous Author Website: unavailable Why this must be read: I'm one of those weird people who doesn't even have a cel phone, but the wonders of the AutoCorrect feature continue to intrigue me. Especially for the communication mishaps that can occur. This is a short, but pretty hilarious fic, that features Arthur and Eames texting one another, and that darn autocorrect keeps putting in all kinds of inappropriate things (which can only give them ideas.) ( Excerpt )Read the story: Bless You, AutocorrectIf you enjoy the story, remember to feedback the author! | | |

Hello! I'm reporting for duty, driving the Generation Kill Humvee this month. If you need a refresher on our badass Marines, here's the handy fandom overview to help. Fandom: GENERATION KILL Pairing: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick Length: 21,975 Author on LJ: hackthisAuthor Website: LJWhy this must be read:One of my favorites and a fandom classic - a hot, hilarious, badass mob!AU where Nate is a mobster's son (Godfather!) and Brad is his new bodyguard. Most of the guys are here and they sparkle in roles big and small, especially Ray as Nate's driver and Patterson as his cousin. Canon showed us the difficulty of command, a concept this story takes and reimagines in a completely different context. The result is brilliant and creative and so much fun. There is no temp agency for the Mob. You can't just call up an employment office and say, "Hi, I'm a captain in one of the four families, and I need a bodyguard because I blew up the competition's warehouse, and in return someone left a dozen gutted fish outside the front door of my apartment building this morning, which probably means my days are numbered. So, if you could send me a temp to take a bullet or six, that would be great."
Well, you can say that, but you don't say things like that to people who aren't in the family. At least not in Baltimore. Semper Fidelis Familia | | |
