slr2moons.livejournal.comFandom Category: Skip Beat!
Pairing: Mogami Kyoko/Tsuruga Ren
Fic Title: Always With You
Author: leavesfallingup
Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/5307219/1/
Rating/Warning(s): PG, None
Genre: Drama
WIP?: No, complete at 32 chapters, 64,979 words
Setting: after volume 24
Special Rec: 25/28
Why This Must Be Read: Kyoko and Ren star together in a commercial drama short series together, and their chemistry and the success of the shorts place them even more firmly in the spotlight. Another engaging fic for the fandom's overwhelming pairing favorite! This one's use of Kyoko's amazing ability to become her characters grabbed me. Also I enjoyed the unusual rival for her affections--it's not who you'd think! This fic does have some grammar, canon, and cultural errors, but the story and characterization kept me reading.
Fandom Category: Skip Beat!
Pairing: Kotonami Kanae/Uesugi Hio
Fic Title: Runaway Royalty
Author: leavesfallingup
Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/5354835/1/
Rating/Warning(s): PG, None
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP?: No, complete at 33 chapters, 79,362 words
Setting: Parallel to Always With You above, it's best to have read that fic first.
Special Rec: 26/28
Why This Must Be Read: Kanae and Hio are cast opposite each other in a period film set largely in Australia. Hio dearly wants Kanae, but there's that troublesome age difference. The author handles the problem in a believable way. ^^ Another engaging drama from this author, complete with all grammar and cultural errors mentioned above. Kanae/Hio fic is truly rare, though, and that is what prompted me to rec this one. The in-fic movie takes over the story on occasion, but it's easy to skim if you grow tired of it. I mean...Kanae/Hio fic!!! *swoons*
Mods, I a ship tag for Kotonami Kanae/Uesugi Hio, please! Thank you. :D

Pairing: Mogami Kyoko/Tsuruga Ren
Fic Title: Snowfall
Author: kitsuneirei88
Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/3901311/1/
Rating/Warning(s): G, None
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No, complete at 3 chapters, 12,645 words
Setting: after Act 110
Special Rec: 10/28
Why This Must Be Read: Mr. Yashiro's matchmaking actually works for once! In a fandom that is so very focused on the main canon(?) couple, this fic stands out for solid writing and characters who are actually in-character. It's always nice when that happens, hmm? ^^ This fic made me d'awww and laugh and even squee, so I recommend it for anyone who needs some sweetness in their day.
Fandom Category: Skip Beat!
Pairing: Mogami Kyoko/Tsuruga Ren, Kotonami Kanae/Yashiro Yukihito
Fic Title: A Wink, a Poke, a Gentle Shove
Author: MadnessinmyMethod
Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/4849656/1/
Rating/Warning(s): PG, None
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP?: No, complete at 15 chapters, 42,572 words
Setting: If you know about Princess Rosa, you're good
Special Rec: 11/28
Why This Must Be Read: This is a sweet almost-epic about the fandom's favorite couple, along with an amusing dash of Kanae/Yashiro. Kuu also has a fine appearance! The author does make a few mistakes with honorifics and the movie business, but the fic was enjoyable enough that I can forgive them.
Mods, I need tags for the two pairings, please. ^^

Pairing: Kyoko Mogami/Sho Fuwa
Fic Title: And a Cup of Crazy
Author: boonies
Link: http://boonies.livejournal.com/274898.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG; SPOILERS through chapter 143
Genre: Humour, Unrequited
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read:
( A quick introduction to the characters )
Kyoko/Sho is my guilty pleasure pairing in the Skip Beat! fandom. Kyoko deserves so much better than the man who discarded her without remorse, but. . . there's something I find deeply appealing about their interactions. There's so much history between them, and they understand one another better than either of them is comfortable with.
In this story, Sho remains firmly in denial about how important Kyoko is to him--while very obviously caring about his place in her heart. This is always tricky with Skip Beat! fic, but boonies captures the feel of the manga: Kyoko's wild emotional ups and downs, and Sho's arrogance and childishness.
