02:57 pm "Sigh of a Thousand Suns" by Cerulean.Phoenix7 (K+)
Fandoms: FRINGE
Characters/Pairings: Alternate Olivia Dunham, Alternate Lincoln Lee
Length: ~1700 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: on FanFiction.net
Why this must be read:

A post 4x17 fic for Alt!Olivia that shows her trying to come to terms with events. What I like here is how her feelings are related to her personal history that isn't often brought up on the show (and wasn't in episode 4x18 that this is essentially set during), as well as it making room for showing the differences of her world, not just after what happened with them in 4x17 but also of red/altverse in general.

03:58 pm The Rat and the Ruby Slippers, by indigostohelit (PG)
Fandom: WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE
Pairing: Cecil/Carlos, Kevin/Carlos
Length: 7,119 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] indigostohelit (friends only)
Author Website: swanjolras on Tumblr; works on AO3
Warnings: Amnesia, mind control, implied dubcon; Desert Bluffs is just awful
Notes: Spoilers for “The Sandstorm” (eps 19A & B)
Why this must be read:

Carlos wakes up to fingers trailing down his back, gentle and smooth; he turns his head without opening his eyes, lets himself be pulled into a kiss.

“Good morning,” he says.

“Good morning,” says Kevin.

Carlos blinks open his eyes at last, rolls out of bed and heads to the dresser. The sun’s pouring into their little bedroom; it’s going to be a beautiful day.

This story was written after “The Sandstorm” gave WtNV’s audience a first look at Desert Bluffs. It has had a big influence on fanon, and judging from recent episodes it may prove somewhat prescient, thematically, but it’s also well worth reading on its own merits. Indigostohelit, riffing on The Wizard of Oz and the story of Tam Lin, has crafted a dark fairy tale in which Carlos must not only save himself, but all of Night Vale.

07:20 pm "My Love Has Concrete Feet (The Discordant Symphony Remix)" by waketosleep (Mature)
Fandoms: FRINGE
Characters/Pairings: Peter Bishop/Olivia Dunham, Peter Bishop/Lincoln Lee
Length: 1417 words
Author on DW: waketosleep
Author Website: on Ao3
Why this must be read:

Peter hasn't always been one of the good guys, which can be easy to forget in most fic/canon situations. This fic gets an interesting look into how he views himself in relation to his past, in both the long and short term, as well as a nice diversion into a short lived 'it's complicated' with him discovering that despite his devotion to 'his' Olivia, he can have feelings/attraction to others like Lincoln too.
