01:42 pm Nevermind by Honeycreeper (R)
Hi everyone, I'm driving the van for Reservoir Dogs again. Hope you find something you'll enjoy.

Fandom: RESERVOIR DOGS
Pairing: Vic/Eddie
Length: 2248 words
Author on LJ: not known
Author's Website: fanfiction.net
Why this must be read: This story has a lot of aspects I love for this pairing. Their relationship developed out of friendship and even if it may be messed up, it's still sincere. I also love Vic being the one who's fine and comfortable with their kind of relationship while Eddie struggles a bit which is reflected in the dialogue in Joe's office.

Nevermind
Vic would just smile when I said that and shake his head.

Why this must be read:

ComplicatedLight is new to writing fandom and really, you're going to want them to continue for a very, very, very long time. I realize this is just a drabble, but it is so perfect that I can't not share it. Then go read the rest of their work. I promise, you won't regret it.

06:17 pm Alias/Lost (PG)
Hey there! I'm driving the Alias van for Small Fandom Month. It hasn't been recced here since 2005, but there are some stories written after that, as well as old ones not recced here. Getting a bit of a late start, so the first entry is Crossover Day!

Title: Mission Accomplished
Pairing: Sark/Shannon Rutherford (but it's mainly gen)
Length: 6,430 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] perdiccas
Author Website: On AOOO
Why this must be read: This is a fantastic double-to-triple cross ensemble story that uses the in media res structure of Alias (and Lost, actually) to tell a fun caper. At a fancy European ski resort, spoiled, sultry Shannon is Sark's mark when he's assigned to acquire a Rambaldi artifact in her possession. The entire Alias cast is perfectly in character, the plot twists are delightful, and Shannon is irrisistible. By the end, you wish she'd joined the CIA (or one of Sark's groups) instead of going to Australia. 

This takes place before any Lost canon, so you don't need to know a single thing about that show to understand this.

10:14 pm No Time for Sergeants by Hedda62 (pg)
Fandom: LEWIS
Pairing: James Hathaway
Length: 19k
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: hedda62 on AO3
Why this must be read:

A fabulous crossover featuring many Sergeants across a few fandoms, both written and shown, and featuring our very own Sergeant Hathaway. This fic made me giggle, made me a little sad, and is chock full of the same ambiguity that's in Lewis. And one of my other very favorite Sergeants shows up - to say who would spoil it. But there's a little Sergeant here for everyone, not just Lewis fen.

10:41 pm Truth Time by Sarren (NC17)
Fandom: LEWIS
Pairing: James Hathaway/Robbie Lewis
Length: 24k
Author on LJ:
Author Website: Sarren on AO3
Why this must be read:

Ah, the classic One Bed fic! On a dark and stormy night Hathaway and Lewis find themselves with only one room left at the Inn. There's a hint of Dark and Needy Hathaway here, which I love, and nervous Lewis - I won't say anything more, save that this story is delicious.
