02:40 am Change of Heart by wesleysgirl (NC-17)
Fandom: ANGEL: THE SERIES
Pairing: Wesley/Angel
Length: 36,011 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] wesleysgirl
Author Website: Adds Mystery
Why this must be read: This story is what happens in the Wishverse when Wesley finds Angel in the Master's cage. I love when a writer crafts a clever AU that develops from canon in thoughtful and plausible ways, and this is one of those. The Wishverse is built forward here in totally natural ways, and the Wesley and Angel who exist in that world make complete sense; they are still themselves, just who they would be if different things had happened to them. There's also an interesting plot, a powerful sense of barely-leavened grief and horror that sets the atmosphere for this world well, and careful attention to physical detail. For instance, I find the insightful rendering of the proxemics of dealing with someone who has been traumatized as this Angel has to be especially impressive.

10:38 am Bird Stealing Bread by Jennghis Kahn, R
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Sam/Jack, Sam/Pete
Length: 5930 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] surrealphantast
Author Website: http://surreallis-fic.livejournal.com/
Why this must be read:

Classic stranded-on-another planet, but this time with a twist - It's not just Sam and Jack who get stuck. Jenn takes a somewhat unbelievable premise and makes it an awkward, uncomfortable and utterly believable story about three people forced to confront two relationships that never devolves into caricature, cliche or melodrama, as most stories involving these three characters do.

11:36 am "Doll Parts" by Shaitanah (T)
Fandom: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles / Being Human (UK)
Pairing: None
Length: 1138 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] istne_pieklo
Author Website: Fiction Press
Why this must be read: When I watched Series 4 of Being Human, my first reaction to Eve Sands was, "Jeez, she sounds like a merger of John Connor and Connor from Angel..." This short but one-of-a-kind crossover fic doesn't include everyone's least favorite resident of the Hyperion Hotel, but it does feature an ongoing exchange between two would-be saviors who are, as the author calls them, yesterday's teenagers. "Doll Parts" is surreal as anything in either fandom--it's actually tagged "mindfuck"--but well worth a read.

The world ends many times. Possibly every day. )

Flung Roses, Roses by polly bywater (NC17)
Fandom(s): The Sentinel, NCIS
Pairing(s): Jim/Blair, Blair/Tony, Tony/Gibbs, Blair/Jim/Tony
Length: 25,000 ish
Author on LJ: only on Dreamwidth
Author Website:http://polly-bywater.dreamwidth.org/
Why this must be read: Why read this? It set my screen on fire, it made me cry, it made me think twice and it made me want more. Being an NCIS crossover, I Will go ahead and warn *Gibbs lovers turn away Now*! The faint of heart should also turn away, you might have a heart attack with the hotness of the sex, or from the Powerful emotions from all involved.
There is also an unfinished sequel, but since we can’t rec them, I will just point out that it exists.
Summary: by self: When Blair finds Tony in a conference it is both the beginning and the end of a lot of possibilities. By the time Gibbs and then Jim come into the story all heck has broken loose. I liked the spot on descriptions of the NCIS team. Not for the Gibbs or Abby lovers, but perfect for the Tony droolers!

07:01 pm Bouyancy by ethrosdemon (adult)
Fandom: TEEN WOLF
Pairing: Stiles/Danny
Length: 14581
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon
Author Website: The Biblioteque, AO3, but this little TW gem is only on her LiveJournal
Why this must be read:Probably 99% of the TW fic I read is Stiles/Derek, but I absolutely adore Danny. If I could clone Stiles I'd give one to Danny. That way Danny could figure out for himself if gay guys find Stiles attractive. I love Danny's growing relationship with Stiles but what I love damn near as much is the expansion of his personality and the family that the author has given Danny. His family just tickles me so!

I hope, hope hope that in the upcoming season, they'll give more of a storyline to Danny.
