scifirenegade: The seventh Doctor and Ace standing under an umbrella and having a grand ol' time. (yay | seven & ace)
[personal profile] scifirenegade
Fandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Seventh Doctor/Ace McShane (feat. Bernice Summerfield)
Fic Title: Verity
Author: whispersecho
Link: Verity on Teaspoon
Rating/Warning(s): General
Genre: Adventure and Romance?
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Despite my strong opinions regarding the New Adventures range, Human Nature is one of my favourite Doctor Who. It's just missing one little thing, and that is Ace, who left a few books ago. It's a nice, somewhat short retelling. And yes, that's a Verity Lambert reference!

scifirenegade: Barbara and Ian laugh in The Romans (barbarian)
[personal profile] scifirenegade
Fandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Barbara/Ian
Fic Title: Things Unsaid
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] TigerKat
Link: Things Unsaid on AO3
Rating/Warning(s): General
Genre: Aliens Made Them Do It (with a twist!)
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: It's "Aliens Made Us Do It"! But it's not the "it" you were expecting. I love trope subversion and characters talking feelings to one another, and this one is *chef's kiss*. Also the ending is very funny.

[personal profile] scifirenegade
Fandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Seventh Doctor/Ace
Fic Title: Embrace
Author: [fanfiction.net profile] Yumemisama
Link: Embrace on Fanfiction.Net
Rating/Warning(s): K+ (Teen and Up would be more appropriate, however)
Genre: Drama
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Bizarre and a bit hard to follow. However, it is very atmospheric, and the prose is wonderful. It's one of those stories that takes you for a ride basically.

Fandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Barbara Wright/Ian Chesterton
Fic Title: Stop Telling Me You're Dead
Author: Richard Goff aka Quark
Link: Stop Telling Me You're Dead on A Teaspoon and an Open Mind
Rating/Warning(s): All Ages
Genre: Angst
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Pretty oblique indeed. Ian is dead, and Barbara keeps getting mysterious phone calls. Quite a mysterious and gloomy read, haven't found anything quite like it yet.

[personal profile] scifirenegade
Fandom Category: Doctor Who (classic series)
Pairing: Susan Foreman/David Campbell
Fic Title: Roots
Author: Inkfire
Link: Roots on A Teaspoon and an Open Mind
Rating/Warning(s): All Ages
Genre: Character Study, Introspection, Romance
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Short but sweet. A nice view of what happened after Susan left, how she adapts to her new life.

Fic Title: Home Again, Unfortunately
Author: JR Loflin
Link: Home Again, Unfortunately on A Teaspoon and an Open Mind
Rating/Warning(s): All Ages
Genre: Drabble
WIP?: no
Why This Must Be Read: Short but sweet. It's very much in character and funny to boot. It puts a smile in my face and lives in my head rent free. I can't say much without spoiling it.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/34671028
Rating/Warning(s): G, no major warnings
Genre: Fluff. Slice of life.

Rating/Warning(s): Teen, none.
Genre: Angst, romance, future fic.
Word Count/WIP?: 3,231 words. Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: A satisfying, plausible fic set a few years after the events of the first season (it has, of course, been jossed by the next two seasons) with brilliant characterisation.

Author: songandsilence
Link: AO3
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: Post-canon
Word Count/WIP?: 5,135 words. Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: It’s gorgeous. I loved the sense of place, the sensuality, how it examines the impact of the Drift and the need for both Raleigh and Mako to heal.

[personal profile] sixbeforelunch
Fandom Category: Star Trek: TOS, Star Trek Novels
Pairing: Ael/Spock
Fic Title: How It Tangles
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] MollyC
Link: at AO3
Rating/Warning(s): T, canon character death
Genre: vignette
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This is a gorgeous piece of writing about Spock and Ael falling into each other in the wake of the events of Generations. If you like Ael and the Rihannsu series, I really suggest this one.

Fandom: Nancy Drew
Pairing: Nancy Drew/Ned Nickerson
Title: Pinky Swear
Author: ndnickerson
Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10872036/1/pinky-swear
Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Word Count/WIP?: 2595/complete
Recced By: ozqueen

Why This Must Be Read:

Adorable meet-cute, wherein Nancy and Ned are stranding inside their apartment building during a huge snowstorm, and Nancy wanders next door to barter dinner for radio batteries. Cooking, flirting and snuggling all in one. Adorable.

This fills the food/cooking square on my bingo card.



ozqueen: (tv: cold case: lilly)
[personal profile] ozqueen
Fandom: Cold Case
Pairing: Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens
Title: I Will Be Here
Author: oucellogirl
Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10802074/1/I-Will-Be-Here
Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Word Count/WIP?: 93,000/complete
Recced By: ozqueen

Why This Must Be Read:

This is my favourite Lilly/Scotty fic because it takes SO MUCH TIME for them to get together. There's such delicious pining and slow build -- Lilly is with Eddie Saccardo for much of this and Scotty watches from a distance (angst and UST, yesss) -- and the whole thing is just wonderfully in character. There's also a fantastic case woven throughout, and a little Kat Miller/Nick Vera background pairing. The author does such great justice to all of the characters, highlighting everything I love about them and about Cold Case in general.

This fills the pining square on my bingo card.



ozqueen: (films: marvel: natasha)
[personal profile] ozqueen
Fandom: The Avengers/MCU
Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/Steve Rogers
Title: Protective Package
Author: juane_chat
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/748987
Rating/Warning(s): Explicit / author warns for mild dub con
Word Count/WIP?: 3576/complete
Recced By: ozqueen

Why This Must Be Read:

It's always hard to take such a cracky concept and play it straight, but this fic does it wonderfully. Natasha and Steve have such great chemistry, and there are a lot of ~feelings~ woven through the humour.
A fill for the "sex pollen" square on my het_reccers bingo card.



ozqueen: (tv: lost: sawyer/me)
[personal profile] ozqueen
Fandom: Lost
Pairing: Juliet Burke/James "Sawyer" Ford
Title: Away We Go
Author: bayloriffic
Link: http://bayloriffic.livejournal.com/16037.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Word Count/WIP?: 4400/complete
Recced By: ozqueen

Why This Must Be Read:

Cozy James and Juliet fic, with James being a stay-at-home dad. This is such an intimate little fic, full of adorable family moments and demonstrating a great "what if" AU spin on the 1970s Dharma canon.
A fill for the "babyfic/kidfic" square on my het_reccers bingo card.



shallowness: Kira in civvies looking straight ahead (POI Zoe and John at work)
[personal profile] shallowness
Fandom Category: The Hour
Pairing: Lix Storm/Randall Brown
Fic Title: in the quiet of a shadow
Author: voodoochild
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1117446
Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Genre: Established Relationship, Backstory
Word Count/WIP?: 1,050. Complete.

Why This Must Be Read: Great voices, capturing the characters when younger, during the Spanish Civil War. The premise is that Randall can draw – Lix insists on being his model fic. A great deal is said in very little.
