* Day 01 - A fic for your current favorite ship.

Fandom Category: 30 Rock
Pairing: Liz Lemon/Jack Donaghy
Fic Title: In for a Penny
Author: [livejournal.com profile] nutkin
Link: http://nutkin.livejournal.com/69409.html
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Genre: Commedy, Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: I have always loved the idea of Jack/Liz on 30 Rock and since it is coming back for its last season I picked them for my favorite ship. This fic is funny and hot, not an easy feat to pull off. The dialogue is whip smart and the characterizations are perfect. I can't help but hope that something like this will happen in the show. (Even though Tina Fey says it never will. You have to love that so many people have asked about a Jack/Liz romance, right?)


* Day 02 - A fic for your very first ship.
Fandom Category: St. Elmo's Fire
Pairing: Wendy Beamish/Billy Hicks
Fic Title: Our Time on the Edge
Author: monimala
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/454770
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: Angst, Romance
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: It was so hard to pick my very first ship, it's hard to recall when I started shipping. I'm guessing it was in the 80's and involved brat pack movies. I always wondered what happened to the characters in St. Elmo's Fire. Did they stay in touch, were they still friends years later, and did anyone end up together? This fic answers many questions while giving us a brief glimpse of Wendy's life. It tells the story of a chance meeting of Wendy and Billy years after the movie ends and shows us that as Wendy grew up, she never outgrew her first love. I'm so happy someone wrote about these two reconnecting again and it is a lovely story.

Mods can I get tags for Beautiful Girls (Marty/Willie Conway) and St. Elmo's Fire (Wendy Beamish/Billy Hicks)? Thank you! ♥

I was going to post for this challenge, but exam week happened, and. Well. It's only the 18th though, so I'm squeaking in on time!

Fandom Category: X-Men (movie-verse)
Pairing: Jean Grey/Scott Summers
Fic Title: The Presence of Horses
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ridesandruns
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1613175/1/The_Presence_of_Horses
Rating/Warning(s): R for language. Mentioned (canon) character death.
Genre: Angst
WIP?: Nope, oneshot

Why This Must Be Read: This is hands down my favourite fanfic in all of the X-Men's various fandoms. Set after the events of X-2, Scott does his best to cope with his loss. You know the one. [livejournal.com profile] ridesandruns is probably best known for the witty, funny dialogue in her fanfics, but here she takes a different angle and delves into Scott's head. It's features a very powerful Scott voice, beautiful framing using his horses, and it has made me cry every single time I read it. It's definitely worth your time to read.

Fandom Category: X-Men Movieverse
Pairing: Marie "Rogue" D'ancanto/Scott Summers
Fic Title: Dall'Acqua (From The Water)
Author: Princess Twilite
Link: http://silverlake.dymphna.net/princesst-dallacqua.html
Rating/Warning(s): NC-7, spoilers for the first and second movies.
Genre: Friendship, romance, angst, AU.
WIP?: Complete!

Why This Must Be Read: Scott/Rogue has always been a rather obscure pairing. As such, there's not really tons of fic for them, especially fic that does this good a job of being in character and trying to speculate on a (as of then) uncertain future. It's a slow-burn romance and one that doesn't demonize or dismiss their other relationships or friendships. While this is not necessarily a place I'd have ever taken these characters, it's a well-written look at someone else's ideas for them.

(Also, I was absolutely THRILLED to see this archive turn up again as it's been offline for several years and has some amazing work that wasn't published anywhere else.)
