Title: Star XIng

Pairings: Han/Leia, Mulder/Scully
Length: ~20000 words

Author Website: FFN Profile
Why this must be read:

Well, what can I say. I dropped the ball into a black hole for X-over day, but here is an excellent X-Files crossover story, everyone well in character and the plot exciting as all get out. With a bang, let's see how Leia, Han, Luke and Chewie fare in our own galaxy, and clear up some of the mystery about the X-Files gang, too. The Lone Gunmen also feature in this, and I couldn't be happier to see them once more.

09:48 am Nonverbal Communication by Mystic Whim (slash)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 1130 words
Author on LJ: mysticwhim
Author Website: http://starskyhutcharchive.net/viewuser.php?uid=311
Why this must be read: A very familiar theme in Starsky&Hutch--after the Gunther shooting, Starsky is nearly recovered and doesn't need Hutch at his beck and call anymore. Is it time for Hutch to go back to his own place? Mystic Whim weaves a lovely, sexy little story that proves--with very few words--Starsky's feelings on the subject.

10:51 am Whispers of Loss (PG-13) & Shadows of Conspiracy by Dean Warner (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 17’320 and 9’332 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Archived on 852 Prospect

Author’s Summary:
When Jim loses track of Blair in a hostage situation, he fears the worst. Can he work without his Guide to free the hostages before their kidnapper finishes them all?

Why this must be read:
This is a tense, dramatic and action-packed read where we get to see a heroic Blair, a frantic sentinel and a psychotic robber. For me, a big part of this storys appeal was the emotional impact the scenario had on our leading characters; their behaviour and reactions felt real and true to them and as such pulled you right into their plight. If you’re into action and angst with a touch of romance then this is a worthwhile read.

Why this must be read:
Author's Summary : Twelve episode tags Penknife never wrote for SG-1 and SGA.

I adore these twelve tags to different SG-1 and SGA episodes. They're short, sweet, and hilarious as all hell. They contain the important lessons of Stargate like never trusting past lovers and the IOA really needs to allocate some hugs for the SGA crew. You'll giggle your way through these and enjoy every short exchange. A nice light fare for the weekend.

12:21 pm Lost by Dessert_first (rated G)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski pre-slash
Length: 5k words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dessert_first
Author Website: On LJ or on AO3
Why this must be read: Fraser gets hit on the head and wakes up with amnesia. He thinks it's two years ago and has no idea who this guy with weird hair is, or why he's pretending to be Ray Vecchio. Which is horrible, but nothing compared to how horrible it is when he wakes up the next day wondering exactly the same thing. Dess does a great job with Fraser, keeping him in character and struggling to grow each day. Her Kowalski is absolute perfection as the guy who's been kind of in love with his best friend for ages, the guy who spends every evening convincing Fraser they switch off taking the bed and it's Fraser's turn tonight, the guy who wakes up every morning to have his heart ripped out when Fraser looks at him like a stranger. Here's a tiny excerpt to show you how great RayK's voice is - and how big his heart is - in this:

My partner. God, this must suck for him. Every day was like he'd traveled forward in time to a life he didn't even recognize. All he wanted was to see his good friend Ray Vecchio.

And all I had to offer him was me.

12:45 pm Three Point One Miles by cjmarlowe (R)
Fandom: HAVEN
Pairing: Audrey/Nathan/Duke
Length: 13k+
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] cjmarlowe
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read:
Getting Audrey back is only the beginning of their story. It only gets more complicated from there.

Absolutely fantastic post-season 2 finale fic that did a fine job tiding me over to season 3.
For a fic of this type though, it even manages to work without having seen the season 2 finale.

Season 2 had highlighted some of the changing character relationships, and the finale left everyone in a bad place, as season finales tend to do with their dramatic cliffhangers and such. Enter a resolution to the cliffhanger and a Trouble that forces stubborn people to actually acknowledge emotions.

08:38 pm Pen Pal by galaxysoup (U)
Fandom: PERSON OF INTEREST
Pairing: n/a, John Reese, Joss Carter, Sofia Campos, Harold Finch, Leon Tao, Lionel Fusco, Zoe Morgan
Length: 2.2k
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] galaxysoup
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read: Sofia was one of those characters that people either liked or really disliked, personally I liked her a lot. Her interactions with Reese were excellent and you could definitely sense an underlying ruthlessness there. Pen Pal is a fic that follows up Masquerade. Reese and Sofia have kept in touch. To say more would be to spoil it, except to say, overprotective Reese is something to savour.

Extract:“If you ever go near her I’ll rip off your kneecaps and make you eat them,” Reese says calmly.“Totally fair!” Leon agrees frantically.

10:04 pm Is This Desire by [livejournal.com profile] lola_four_one NC-17
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan
Length: 6120 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lola_four_one
Author Website: Fic tags
Why this must be read:

A long-lived franchise such as Star Wars accumulates lots of baggage in fandom: canon, manon and fanon. What fun to throw it all away and focus simply on the basics of storytelling, right from the source! In the '09 Party Like It's 1999! ficathon, Obi/Qui lovers of all sorts happily flow-walked backwards, contributing fic after fic. This one uses an untried Obi-Wan as he grows into his own sexual maturity, with the aid of an ever-attentive Master, from the prompt: A theme/plot point: Master/Padawan sexual intimacy is - objectively - completely unacceptable, and possibly (probably?) even seriously criminal. What happens? The author writes Anakin/Obi-Wan, as well.
