08:22 am The Easy Part's Over Now by romanticalgirl (NC-17)
Fandom: GENERATION KILL
Pairing: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick
Length: 22,629
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] romanticalgirl
Author Website: A Multitude of Voices / LJ
Why this must be read:

It's epic kidfic and it's brilliant. [livejournal.com profile] romanticalgirl confronts us with the tough reality of having a kid you didn't know about and how that changes your relationship. She puts the boys through their paces while introducing us to some fantastic OCs (especially Brad's mom). The result is wrenching and painful and hilarious, much like canon itself. You feel the emotions of it, even as the dialogue sparkles; she's masterful at eliciting laughter and dread simultaneously. Well worth a read, even for those wary of kidfic.

“That’s a kid.”

“Yes.” His mom nods calmly, bouncing the thing on her knee. Brad knows nothing about kids, but the ribbon pinned in the wisps of hair makes him suspect it’s a girl, though he’s not sure why she’s here or how she got here. “More specifically, Bradley, she’s your kid.”

Nate’s silent and Brad’s behind him, so he can’t actually see his expression, which he thinks might be a good thing. “I don’t have a kid.”

09:18 am Never Have I Ever by Lenore (NC-17)
Fandom: THE AVENGERS
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov
Length: 3234 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] scribblinlenore
Author Website: AO3 or Lenore's stories

Why this must be read: This is another pairing I wish there was more of. In this fic the gang decided to play Never Have I Ever and Steve has a lot of never evers. So Natasha decides to help him cross a few off his list. Pretty much pure smut with a hint of plot.

Author Website: author page at FF.net
Why this must be read: This fic is has its own version of the Dark Moon wrap party, and was written long before the same event in canon. The setup for events in the story might seem a bit much at first, but keep reading! Bittersweet and solidly written. [Set after Dark Moon, obviously]

11:29 am A Good Turn by Nepthys_uk (G)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Sam/Gene pre-slash
Length: 938 words

Author Website: LoM Fic Masterlist
Why this must be read:

This fic ticks every one of my boxes. I'm a huge sucker for Sick!Gene fics, and this one's one of my absolute favourites - it's impossible not to laugh at Gene's congested voice, and the subtle touches of h/c here are really heartwarming. Fluff, h/c and humour. What more could you ask for, really? :D

02:12 pm A More Audacious Monster by [livejournal.com profile] verbyna.
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Spencer Smith/Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith/Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross/Jon Walker, Michael Guy Chislett/Butch Walker.
Length: 40k
Author on LJ: AO3
Why this must be read: I am completely biased when it comes to [livejournal.com profile] verbyna work - but this is really amazing. It's mythical and tragic and brutally honest and bittersweet poetic and I love it to pieces. There are no good or bad guys - everyone is human (even when they aren’t) and just trying to do the best with what they have.

Some Otherworlders are born with magic; some are born human and able to withstand one of the curses. Spencer's struggle not to turn Ryan into a werewolf gets a lot more complicated after their band is signed to a demigod's label. Suddenly thrust into a web of politics he doesn't fully grasp, Spencer realizes that if he can't have Ryan, he must do whatever it takes to make sure Ryan stays human. Jon Walker, on the other hand, never had reason to doubt the rules of the Pack, especially when Ryan asks him for a favor. As Panic splits down the middle, so does the supernatural world three of its members belong to. Is the right to choose not to be turned more important that the survival of the various magical species? A demigoddess and her oracle Gerard think so, and Brendon is the only human who understands that a revolution is taking place under the radar - with Spencer at its center.
