Title: The Chase
Fandoms: The L Word
Comments: Despite the disastrous, downright nauseating third season of the L Word, I can’t help but be grateful for the show’s existence. Mostly due to the fact that it inspired the creation of the story THE CHASE by Shakennotstirred.

Comments: I wouldn’t claim to be a Bad Girls fan. Ahem, no pun intended. However, these stories by G.L. Dartt transcend the genre, they’re simply excellent writing. ‘nough said. Enjoy.

Title: And Playing the Role of Herself...
Fandoms: Original / Uber Xena
Comments: The story is set behind the scenes of a Law & Order style television show, and has led many people to view it more as an L&O or SVU uber than anything Xena related. But it doesn't really matter if you're picturing Olivia or Xena, this is a charming story that allows you to get to know the characters in some depth, and doesn't skimp on the development of the lesser seen characters. A great romance.

Comments: The fact that this piece is written by Crème Brûlée should scream volumes in and of itself about how fabulous it is. Anything I could add would be superfluous.

Title: She Mends Me
Fandom: X-Files
Comments: A lot of work went into this piece, including an expansive and interesting disclaimer. There are numerous images from the show and other places interspersed throughout the story. And more than that, the story is very well written. Much attention to detail and creative use of actual episode dialogue keep you scrolling and clicking on to the next chapter. It's a long read, but well worth the effort.

Title: Milk and Honey
Fandom: X-Files
Comments: This story is written in an exquisite way. Touching the reader
with its sensual imagery and talented language use. The author has
managed to capture the moment, the place and the essence in such a way
that the reader cannot help but be sad when its over, even while
realising that the ending was at the right time and perfect for the
story itself.

Title: The Way, Way Back
Fandom: Angel/BtVS
Comments: In my opinion, this is the best characterization of Faith, bar none. Told from her point of view, the story pairs her with Kate Lockley, who, unfortunately, didn't get beyond season 2 on Angel (to my recollection, anyway). And though I never really thought of them as having potential, this fiction made me a believer. It is totally original, chock full of angst (Faith is the queen, after all), with plenty of humor, action, and cameo appearances thrown in for good measure. A great read.

Title: Thank You For Not Smoking
Fandom: X-Files/The Pretender
Comments: In this story, Agent Scully finds herself interacting with Miss Parker
with delightful consequences. The author uses the language with wit and
confidence and the resulting story is a delight to read. The story is
sensual and engaging and the two shows are combined in seamless tandem.

Title: The Last Of The True Believers
Fandom: Law & Order: SVU
Comments: Two women, New York City, life, and writing that creates eye candy, even
though it is all in the readers mind. A few days in the lives of Alex
and Olivia, as they come to terms with new and not so new feelings and
emotions. Beautifully written, just long enough, without being too long.

Title: Giá cogli angeli, Ivanova?
Fandom: Babylon 5
Comments: I never really cared for Babylon 5 fanfiction until I read this one a
few years ago. (I never cared for Babylon 5 at all actually.) In this
story, the author combines humor, an interesting plot, intimacy, and a
view of the space station in a way that engages and delights.

Title: Creeping Things
Fandom: X-Files
Comments: This was the story that caused me to fall love with the idea of Monica
Reyes and Dana Scully finding eachother and acting upon their mutual
desires. There is a believable plot line, interesting story, and moments
of great tenderness and emotional resonance. The combination kept me
reading until the end, and then made me read it again immediately once I
was done.

reread, and read again. In this example, Dana and Monica find themselves
at the threshold of something beautiful.

Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Comments: This tasty writer takes yummy the idea of Sam Carter and Janet Frasier
and turns it into a gourmet meal. Just one of many one-off stories
written by Geonn, this one is a fine example of a lovely read and a
wonderful talent.

Title: Lost and Found
Fandom: Law & Order: SVU
Comments: A highly erotic and sensual story, dealing with Alex and Olivia. Well
written, well though out, with nice amounts of humor, tenderness and
seriousness. Something to read before you go to sleep, with the hopes of
the story visiting you in your dreams.

Title: Belonging

Comments: The main reasons that I like this story are: 1) PRP writes very well
indeed, 2) the sensual quality of it touched me. Of course, it does not
hurt that the whole story is a great read and interesting to boot.

Title: The Road to Kilimanjaro
Fandom: Xena Uber
Comments: I've read a number of Xena uber stories by this author and would recommend all of them, but to just pick one for the moment I would suggest reading The Road to Kilimanjaro. The journey centres around a group of people who are attempting to climb to the top of the mountain, and the relationship that develops between two of the intrepid travellers. Before you start thinking icepicks and death defying rope swings, I should point out that they walk to the top. It's still gruelling and beautifully described but the actions depicted aren't those of superhumans, but people like you and me, well, maybe fitter than me but only because they trained for it. The story is relatively long, but with that length you get a real sense of who these characters are and even a glimpse into the personalities of those people making the journey with them. I would highly recommend it.

Title: Cooking On High
Fandom: Xena Uber
Comments: It is somewhat hard to describe this story with any justice. I could simply tell you that it involves a reknowned chef, fiesty summer waitperson, intrigue and food, but that would only be half of it. What makes Cooking on High a must read is that it's just so darn quirky and fun. A strong sense of humour resonates throughout the story, a feat any writer knows is hard enough in a short story but Creme Brulee somehow manages to pull it off on a much larger scale - an amazing accomplishment. You'll enjoy this one.

Title: "Stardate 53743.2, 0600 hrs" and "Stardate 53743.2, 2300 hrs"
Fandom: Voyager J/7
Comments: Kathi has listed these two short stories as PWP's but they are, in fact, first class point-of-view fics. The first story "Stardate 53743.2, 0600 hrs" takes the form of a log entry by Seven regarding her covert sexual relationship with Captain Janeway. The sequel "Stardate 53743.2, 2300 hrs" is a log entry that gives Janeway's point of view. Kathi does an excellent job of putting across the 'voice' of these two very different personalities, and in doing so manages to sum up the entire J/7 relationship succinctly and well.

Title: Bound (new link needed)
Fandom: Voyager J/7
Comments: Seven of Nine loses her memory during an away mission. More than a week later Janeway finds her working in a strip club on an alien planet, but her attempt to rescue the Borg doesn't turn out the way she expects! Afterwards on Voyager, both Seven and Janeway have trouble coming to terms with what happened between them. A J/7 story that contains hot sex, romance, and well-written character interaction - what more could you want?

Author: Bailey B
Title: Rules of the Game (new link needed)
Fandom: Voyager J/7
Comments: Bailey B's aim in writing this Post-Endgame tale was to get Janeway and Seven together in a way that was both realistic and believable in the context of the Voyager series. In this she has succeeded admirably, creating a highly readable story that addresses numerous plotholes and hanging threads left by the scriptwriters. Of special note is the board of inquiry into Janeway's actions in "Equinox", and her counseling sessions with Deanna Troi. These scenes clearly had a lot of thought and planning put into them, with Troi's speech patterns and modus operandi portrayed especially well. Likewise Admiral Necheyev, whose backstage politicking conceals her own secret agenda. The oft-criticised 'multiple personality Janeway' comes across as a real person, and Bailey B does an excellent job of showing her stubborness, self-centeredness, guilt, commitment and passion for both her crew and notably, Seven of Nine. Overall if there's one thing that sums up "Rules of the Game", it's realism. You get the feeling that everything here really could happen. I award it...five hot, steaming mugs of coffee!

Title: Baby Demon
Fandom: Voyager J/7
Comments: This short story is one of the best angst fics I've read, so be warned. Its premise is that, after the events of the episode "Relativity", Janeway and Seven are accidentally stranded back in time on present day Earth. Seven has lost all memory of who she was previously and events are told from her point of view. A very disturbing, very moving tale.

Author: Jane St. Clair
Title: A Kiss on the Body Electric
Fandom: Voyager J/7
Comments: In an online interview Jane St Clair said that if you like a writer's work you should follow them into whatever fandom they choose to write. I certainly recommend so with this author. Although she has written only a few short stories in the Voyager genre, sheer quality of writing puts Jane St Clair on a class above the vast majority of us lowly fanfiction authors. The two stories I recommend to J/7ers are "A Kiss on the Body Electric" and "Cracked". They both involve a situation (the rescue of Seven from a cave collapse in "Cracked"; a reckless drive on the holodeck in "Kiss") and its aftermath, exploring in poetic depth the thoughts and frustrations of Janeway and Seven regarding themselves and their relationship.

Title: The Sum of Both
Fandom: Enterprise T/H
Comments: A follow-up to that "let me help you relax" scene in "Sleeping Dogs". T'Pol ponders what appears to be sexual arousal in Hoshi's response to their meditation. A short but well-written story, with the erotic subtext kept nice and subtle as it should be.
