Why this must be read: Amor Vincit Omnia (Love Conquers All)

It wasn't as if Hutch hadn't tried. He had pushed, smashed chairs against the door, fired a gun at the knob, nothing. It was only a matter of time before they would come for him.

Well, he would go fighting.

There was a sudden breeze, wind tickling the grass below his feet. Funny, he hadn't created that…the wind then hit him full on. With the wind came an attack on his side, aching, hurting. The same pain that had led him to this place. Hutch shut his eyes, and bit on his lip, forcefully enough to draw blood. Hutch closed his eyes, if this was some sort of test…

A gasp. A flash. His head was being attacked by another set of pain. It hurt, Hutch slid from his chair onto the soft velvety grass that was flickering from under him. Lord it hurt! Blearily, Hutch opened his eyes and looked to the grimy door in front of him.

The door…the door…was slightly ajar. One lone blue striped adidas was holding it open.

Starsk.

09:02 pm Space Looks a Lot Like New Jersey by jjtaylor (Mature)
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Gerard/Frank
Length: 8,410 words
Author on LJ/DW: [livejournal.com profile] jjtaylor / [personal profile] jjtaylor
Author on AO3: [archiveofourown.org profile] jjtaylor

Why this must be read: Since James got killed Gerard has pushed everyone except Mikey away. This is a wonderful space AU. The worldbuilding in particular is fabulous, jjtaylor has such a deft hand with settings. Her worlds always feel so organic and coherent even when we only get to see bits and pieces of them. She also writes a great Gerard. The story of him slowly recovering belief in himself and in others is completely captivating and heartwarming. I also love her Dewees. He's so fantastically snarky and irreverent and absurd, and such an important part of the story.

09:54 pm Loose Affiliation, by Spuffyduds, Rating, Explicit
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairings: Benton Fraser/Ray Vecchio
Length: 8872
Author on LJ: http://spuffyduds.livejournal.com/

Author Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/spuffyduds/pseuds/spuffyduds

Why this must be read: Fraser/RayV is not as common a pairing as Fraser/RayK, and while there are good reasons for that (the seasons with RayK were more self consciously slashy, and let's face it, the boys are beautiful together) it's surprising that fewer people pick up on the chemistry between Fraser and his first Ray (who is also beautiful in his own way, and looks fantastic in a suit.) This series of six connected short stories, set in the aftermath of Victoria's Secret, is very well written, and very painful in its magical realism. From the insights into RayV's traumatic childhood, and the vulnerabilities he has been left with, to the chillingly haunted last line, the whole thing is beautifully done.
