09:56 am "Sweet and Low" by whyagain (PG-13)
Fandom: Parks and Recreation
Pairing: Mostly gen with Chris Traeger/various and Leslie Knope/Ben Wyatt in the background
Length: 2692 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] whyagain
Author Website: Fic tag

Why this must be read: I've long wondered why a lot of people put up with Chris after the first impression, especially Ben, who has to always be the one to say no. This fic pretty much explains exactly how and why, sketching out our favorite state auditors' relationship over the years and their subtle understanding of each other. It's just the right amount of melancholy and ultimately hopeful, and the ending makes me want to cheer.

And maybe once he’s gone, he doesn’t look back. He keeps his head down and maybe he misses birthdays and holidays, illnesses and milestones.  )

10:41 am The Alternate Sentinel series by Elaine (Mature)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: n/a - artwork
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] cross_stitchery
Author Website: at Artifact Storage Room 3 and at AO3

Why this must be read: Because they are smirky fun.

One limitation of the 852 prospect archive was that only text stories could be posted there. So Elaine was unable to put these five graphic novel (comic) interpretations of the TS episodes there. Since you can upload art to AO3, they are now in the 852 collection.

Although Elaine classifies the series as unfinished, these were done quite long ago and I’m not sure she has plans to do any others. So, simply enjoy her cracky versions of True Crime, The Rig, Attraction, Survival and The Inside Man, and live in hope that she might add to the fun.

And, by the way, Elaine also created my icon!

10:34 pm Tongues of Men and Angels [Teen]
Fandom: Tongues of Men and Angels
Pairing: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Length: 58,523 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin
Author Website: AO3
Author Summary: When SG-4 is ambushed offworld, an injured Major John Sheppard must put his trust in a Tok'ra agent named McKay to survive. But what secrets is McKay keeping about his mission, the planet, and his own motives for helping John?

Why this must be read: This fic has a unique, fun premise that keeps you reading. John is severely injured offworld and left in the care of a tok'ra. While John recovers, he must mourn the loss of his team and attempt to figure out exactly what the secretive McKay is up to. There's also the matter of John's strange dreams... [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin really makes them feel like John and Rodney despite the different experiences they've had. The plot is engaging and moves the fic right along, and you come to care about the OC's (who are well-written and fully fleshed out).
