12:48 pm Wings by Alyjude (TR-S)
I know it's a bit early for holiday stories but since December is small fandoms month I thought I'd squeeze a few in here.

Fandom: The Sentinel
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 10 030
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] alyburns
Author's Website: Alyjude's Basement
And stories at ASR3
Why this must be read: Blair is depressed and wishes he had never been born. This is a Sentinel version of that Christmas movie and it's a lovely, heartwarming, Blair and Jim getting together story.

01:08 pm Stuck in the Middle by AndItsOuttaHere (K+)
Fandom: JUSTIFIED
Characters: Ava Crowder, Boyd Crowder, Raylan Givens, Winona Hawkins
Length: 7,502 words
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: at fanfiction.net

Why this must be read: It concerns the supremely awkward situation of Ava, Boyd, Raylan and Winona all stuck in an elevator together.  There's only one thing that could make this even more awkward than implied by canon- and so Boyd and Winona also have a connection here, from before she even met Raylan.

This connection is a complete surprise that I don't want to spoil- but surprising as it is, now that I've read the story I have trouble believing that it didn't happen that way.  It's really great.

02:07 pm "understanding may come later, in fragments" by syd15 (PG)
Fandoms: FRINGE
Characters/Pairings: Olivia Dunham/Peter Bishop
Length: 1423 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] syd15
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

Because it feels like this fic, concise as it is, really gets to the points of why, and how, Olivia was hurt by certain S3 events. It takes apart the trust between Olivia and Peter, examining it as it does, seeing how it was before and what went wrong without placing blame. It also focuses on how Olivia feels about it all, her considered but still emotional responses to everything, not just the betrayal but how she works around it and eventually works past it.

04:46 pm Visitation (five friends Carlos made in Night Vale), by Raven (singlecrow) (G)
Fandom: WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE
Pairing: Gen, with background Cecil/Carlos
Length: 1,135 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] loneraven
Author Website: Raven on Dreamwidth; singlecrow on Tumblr; works on AO3
Warnings: Spoiler for “Poetry Week”
Notes: “In which there is science! And also there are Pop Tarts! And dead animals falling from the sky! But you should not, in any circumstances whatsoever, be afraid!”
Why this must be read:

1. Because it’s not a proper fandom until there’s a “five things” story.

2. Because Old Woman Josie has the good tea.

3. Because Tamika Flynn can spell “cerulean.”

4. Because Carlos understands the importance of junk food.

5. Because the angels are hilarious. (“Erika shouted ‘Be not afraid!’ and the room exploded with light.”)
