Fandom: Terminator / Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles
Pairing: Barbara Chamberlain/Vick
Length: ~12k words

Why this must be read: There are lot of one-off characters in the TSCC-verse, both metal and human. "Someone I Used To Know" tells an interesting story of both: Barbara Chamberlain, who was designing a traffic program, and her husband Vick, who turned out to be a T-888. This fic assumes that he was always a machine (rather than being replaced by one, a la Catherine Weaver) and runs with it to some interesting places, playing off of Cameron's point about people being fooled by machines.

His facility with numbers always awed her, a talent that lay somewhere between autistic and otherworldly. )

Why this must be read:

The mechanics of playing the game are rarely examined during a story. Most fics don't take place during a normal game, after all. This story, though, focuses on a sidequest Sollux and Karkat work on together - delving into the game mechanics at the same time as showing their friendship. It also touches on tiny things from canon that are rarely brought up in fic - like Karkat and Sollux switching fetch modi, fray motifs, or Sollux's shuriken.
