Bad Idea, Right? by Pennyplainknits
Star Wars prequels, Anakin/Obi Wan

We Like to Party by Marah_Sarie
Farscape gen

Puppet Man by [personal profile] cupidsbow
A brief history of claymation
lunabee34: (fandom is my fandom by laurashapiro)
The Gorgoneion (The Epyllionic Remix)
Medusa/Athene; Medusa/Poseidon (non-graphic non-con)
OMG, somebody freaking wrote epic poetry for Remix. Way to pull out all the stops, Anon..

Turnings (The Simple Gifts Remix)
Dark is Rising; Ellen-centric gen
This fic takes a peripheral character and turns her into something real and beautiful and complex, something more vital than Cooper's narrative could perhaps contain.

Through the Wardrobe (The Three Worlds Remix)
This is all kinds of fantastic. Of course, the Jossverse, Narnia and Dr. Who have to intersect on a ley line somewhere, right? *loves*

The Effects of Proximity: The Sleight of Hand Remix
Holmes/Watson
I know very little about asexuality, only what the denotation of the word itself implies, and so, for me, this is an astonishing and beautiful love story. Gorgeous prose. Wonderful read.

Best-Laid Plans
SG-1; Sam-centric gen
Anon Remixer makes me cry tears of Teamy Goodness and Love. These are the holidays, the way SG-1 spends them.

Fair Play
SG-1; Vala and Teal'c-centric gen
Lord do I have me an unholy love for Vala Mal Doran. [Vala] watches for a while longer. "Or he could seduce Luke Skywalker, they could run away together, and they could leave saving the galaxy to people who are actually good at it." "That opinion is not unrepresented on the Internet," Teal'c says, but he doesn't sound like it's one that he shares.

Face on a Milk Carton (the rules of the universe remix)
Farscape/Torchwood XOVER; gen
I don't watch Torchwood and even I know how awesome this is. Snappy and fun.

Dance in the Snow (The Chiana Was Here Remix)
Farscape; Gen
I love John and Chiana's relationship in canon, how she'd clearly like to be more than friends (or at least get a leg over) and he's never going to see her as anything other than a little girl he loves. Such a good Chiana character study.

Everyone in Their Places (Jumping to Conclusions Disco Hustle)
Farscape; Chiana-centric gen
What does Chiana think of Moya's crew when she first meets them? Fascinating stuff, super sharp character insights.

Hurricane by [livejournal.com profile] laurashapiro; Farscape/BSG XOver
This vid is fantastic. Like squee in your pants fantastic. It's hot and sweet and sexy and a little bit raw just like Starbuck and Aeryn. I think the thing I like about it most are the alternating shots of Starbuck and Aeryn making the same gestures, the same movements. Really nice. Excellent song too. It's by Joan Osbourne and while I've always enjoyed "What if God Were One of Us?" I had never listened to any of her other music. This song surprised me. It doesn't sound like that at all.

The Test by [livejournal.com profile] heresluck; Trek Reboot
When Ariadne pointed this vid out to me, she said, "It's like your fic Inextricable brought to life." And it is. Except this vid is much more hopeful than that fic. Incredibly well done.

Trek Reboot

Academic Discourse by [livejournal.com profile] seriousfic; Gaila-centric gen

Just a Thing by [livejournal.com profile] possibly_thrice; Kirk Sr/Winona/Pike

HP

A Choriambic Progression by Mairead Triste and Aristide; Harry/Snape; Adult
I love love love the Harry voice in this and the narrative voice in general. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Courtship Rituals by Meri; Harry/Snape; Adult
This is a cliche and a half and I totally love it. I am a sucker for forced marriage fic in all its resplendent glory and this is certainly a resplendent example.

Conduits of Sorcery by Penumbra; Harry/Snape, Snape/Lucius; Adult
Despite the fic's unfortunate title, it's an engaging read that features an intriguing use of tattooing, Lucius Malfoy in all his git-itude, and a mystery that will surprise you in its conclusion.

Two Lockets by Sinick and Acid; Harry/Snape, Snape/Regulus; Adult
If you're interested in the craft of world building, in the intricate layering of all those small details that make a world real and vital and tangible to the reader--look no further. The way that magic and magical objects are used in this story is clever, poignant and flat out cool. The characterizations are wonderful and all in all it's just a damn good story. Go. Read. Even if you hate the Harry Snape pairing, I think you'd be hard pressed not to find this story enjoyable.

Rapture by Mia Ugly; Snape/Harry, Harry/Ginny; Adult
This is a time travel fic and it's very cleverly done. Harry goes back in time, but the catch is that he can't reveal future information. His urgency to do so and his increasing despair really resonate with me.

Imaginis by Leela; Harry/Snape; Adult
Snape owns a bookstore! Harry is an Auror. Regulus the portrait is a meddler! This fic is pretty much fun times all around. :)

Firefly

The Full Monty by [livejournal.com profile] executrix; Kaylee/Minor Male Character; Adult
Exec writes a Kaylee who is sensual and takes joy in her body but who is also innocent and sweet and endearing. In this fic, Kaylee gets to have herself a right fine time and so does the sherriff and so do we.
