Fandom: SUITS Pairing: Mike/Harvey Length: ~7700 Author on LJ: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) ariadnes_stringAuthor Website: Fic masterlistWhy this must be read: Another h/c fic, but this time, Mike breaks his arm and gets a concussion. Harvey takes care of him. The images in this fic are very vivid--you can see them coming to life as you read. And the h/c here isn't filled with saccharine words and phrases.
Harvey had just managed to find a good spot on the wall—one that when he focused on it the room actually stopped spinning—when someone tapped on the door.
“Harvey?” a voice whispered, soft, solicitous, and annoying as hell.
“Christ, Mike, I’m not dying. Come in and drop the condolence-call voice already.”
“Uh…Okay.” Mike shuffled into the room and arrayed himself at the foot of Harvey’s bed, an old Thomas Pink shopping bag held in front of him like a shield. “You sure? ‘Cause you look—“
“Mike—“ Harvey tried to put enough warning into his voice to get Mike to shut up. He had no desire to hear how Mike thought he looked, in a hospital gown, hair stiff with dried blood and sweat, casted arm propped up beside him. It almost worked.
“Because Donna said they brought you in on a helicopter, and they usually only do that when things are really bad.”

Fandom: CRIMINAL MINDS Pairing/Characters: Aaron Hotchner/Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss, David Rossi, Derek Morgan, J.J. Jareau, Penelope Garcia Length: 2,111 words Rating: G or FRC Author Website: Author on AO3Why this must be read: I have already rec'd travelinthedark here once this month, but 5 Mandatory Events at the FBI Regional Training Seminar is too fantastic to overlook. Not only does it put a new spin on the '5 things...' trope, but it places the whole team in an extremely average (and annoying) work situation: a corporate training seminar. Okay, maybe this is too much personal information, but I have attended a buttload of these events in my real life and I was HORRIFIED how perfect the characterization of the seminar moderators were. It's eerie. And, yes, I believe that the urge to maim a teambuilding coordinator is probably universal. Given that this particular team is conditioned to profiling deviants and killing people, the seminar resentment takes on an extra level of hilarity and danger. 5 Mandatory Events at the FBI Regional Training Seminar by travelinthedark on AO3Fandom is powered by love. If you enjoyed this story, please let the author know! | | |

Fandom: Fairy Tales: Sleeping Beauty Characters: Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, Aurora Length: 3626 words Author Website: at AO3Why this must be read: We often see what happens after Aurora is stricken by the spindle or wakened by the prince, but not often what happens before her 16th birthday. The three fairies have agreed to forego using any magic while they raise the princess, hoping to stay below the radar. They gather food, chop wood, cook and clean just as ordinary folk would. Every winter they celebrate Yule with all the trappings. But as Aurora gets old enough to understand traditions, they decide that she should know about her blood family's observances. That includes Christmas, of which the fairies know very little. Enjoy. The Holly Bears the CrownIf you like this, take a moment to tell the author. Feedback is precious and appreciated! | | |

Fandoms: SHAKESPEARE Characters/Pairings: Richard II of England, Henry Bolingbroke Length: 1909 words Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: on Ao3Why this must be read: This is an AU of Richard II, where Richard is a patient in a mental institution but believes he is a king. You get a true sense of his confusion, his inability to tell what's real and what isn't, and the pain of everyone around him, especially Bolingbroke, is very palpable as well. Good AUs manage to boil characters down to their essence, and this manages to do just that; to capture why Richard's story is tragic in any universe. It's quite short, but it really manages to create an engaging world of its own. Until He Be Eased | | |
