08:03 am Secret Agent Man by Fina (PG)
Fandom: THOR, THE AVENGERS
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Phil Coulson
Length: 7729
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] sarcastic_fina
Author Website: AO3

Why this must be read:When my favorite Glee and Smallville author starts writing Avenger fic, I pay attention. Fina has written many pairings but I finally settled on Phil/Darcy because everyone's favorite SHIELD agent needs love too. This takes place post-Thor but does reference the Avengers movie. Sweet and gorgeous, this is just the beginning for Agent and intern. (There is a sequel but it's a WIP at the moment.)

08:07 am Ansible, ansible by _sine (R)
Fandom: GENERATION KILL
Pairing: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick
Length: 6500
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] __sine
Author Website: Master Fic List
Why this must be read:

It's a space travel/time dilation AU that's intriguing and melancholy and terrifically clever. It weaves canon into the year 2049 in surprising, yet inevitable ways, telling the story of the first manned mission outside our galaxy. [livejournal.com profile] __sine has crafted a gorgeous atmosphere here, evocative in its sparseness, full of the tough realities of space travel and the humanity of the bonds that hold the guys together. It left me wanting so much more.

On Earth, images of the darkness beyond the last planet and within the unexplored expanse of the local interstellar cloud are splashed across the front pages of every publication. NASA Administrator James Mattis gives a long and triumphant speech, as does the President of the United States, but it is a recording of an offhand remark by one of the crew members that truly captures the public's imagination.

Sergeant Brad Colbert's half awed, half ironic murmur of, "Yes, we are the conquering heroes," as they race past mankind's last space buoy (0983 ZHENG HE) is replayed over five billion times that day. It will go on to be immortalised in history books and novelty t-shirts alike.

01:57 pm Patience is its Own Reward by leavesfallingup (PG)
Fandom: SKIP BEAT!
Pairing: Kyoko/Ren
Length: 44 chapters, 147,587 words
Author on LJ: none I can find
Author Website: FF.net profile page
Why this must be read: While this is yet another Kyoko/Ren story, the author handles it differently and keeps it fresh--even from her other fic! Sho has a large (and believable) presence in the fic, which is a welcome change. Also, as with the other two stores I've recced by leavesfallingup, the in-fic movie plot is a big presence, but easily skimmed. [Begins after the Cain siblings are introduced.]
