Title: Thirty-One Not-Hyperlinked Flashforwards
Author: boundbyspells
Pairing: Lily/Marshall
Spoilers: mid-season 2 to be on the safe side
Summary: Of course the real question is why was Marshall reading Pride and Prejudice anyway?
Link: Thirty-One Not-Hyperlinked Flashforwards
Why: Dude, it's HIMYM fic! And *good* HIMYM fic! Read the non-linear version first--it'll have you completely confused, but make the pay-off of the linear version that much cooler. *grin*

Title: Five Things They Don't Teach Fairy Godmothers
Author: akamarykate
Pairing: none
Spoilers: well, for the book, obviously ;-)
Summary: Who was Shirl, and where did she go after she left Colorado?
Link: Five Things They Don't Teach Fairy Godmothers
Why: Someone wrote fanfic for one of my favorite books ever, one I've never seen fanfic for before! And better yet, it was *good*! I did miss Sandra and Ben a bit, but *loved* the backstory we got on Shirl (and a cameo by Flip!).

Title: The Bridal Path
Author: Vyola
Pairing: Joel/Wednesday, Gomez/Morticia, Fester/Dementia
Spoilers: Addams Family Values
Summary: Couples who vow only 'til death do them part lack ambition.
Link: The Bridal Path
Why: Another absolutely snicker-worthy glimpse at Joel and Wednesday's possible future together. Man, now I want to go rewatch the movie.

Title: Addams Family Therapy
Author: bucketmouse
Pairing: Joel/Wednesday, Gomez/Morticia, Itt/Margaret
Spoilers: Addams Family Values
Summary: It takes a hardy soul to marry and Addams...but even hardy souls can use a little help every now and then.
Link: Addams Family Therapy
Why: Joel Glicker is a perfect POV character, because he's us--the outsider drawn into the Addams' world--and I love how different authors have dealt with his acclimation into the family. *g*

Title: The Last of the Winnebagos
Author: trinityofone
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Spoilers: nothing specific that I noticed
Summary: Atlantis is not for the elderly, but that doesn't make leaving any easier.
Link: The Last of the Winnebagos
Why: I don't read a lot of McShep, but when someone steals the title from one of my favorite authors ever? I had to make an exception, and I'm glad I did. The relationship is very low-key, so that it feels like a given. And the story is beautifully bittersweet and melancholy.

New fandom, new fic! *grin*

Title: It's Time We Saw a Miracle
Author: Kathy
Pairing: none unless you want there to be...then a dash of Peter/Claire
Spoilers: nothing past episode 3...I forget titles
Summary: Peter and Claire in the aftermath of the future.
Link: It's Time We Saw a Miracle
Why: Because it makes sense, considering her abilities and his, and because there's a quiet loneliness to it that just makes your heart ache.

Title: Separate Salt from Sand
Author: Rachael Sabotini
Pairing: Beckett/Cadman
Spoilers: "Duet" but probably not in the way you think
Summary: Kate Heightmeyer has to conduct a rather distasteful interview after a horrific firefight leaves a friend crippled.
Link: Separate Salt from Sand
Why: Gives a couple of the background characters on Atlantis a chance to shine, including one of my favorites--Kate Heightmeyer--and I just love seeing the regulars through their eyes. Oh, and did I mention the plot is like a suckerpunch to the gut?

Title: Lay Down Your Sword
Author: Sandra MacDonald
Pairing: umm...Duncan/Amanda, Richie/Felicia are the ones I remember
Spoilers: not sure--written during S4 or early S5, I think
Summary: Events begin to fall into place that will set the final Gathering in motion and reveal a surprising truth about Immortality to the winner.
Link:
Lay Down Your Sword
Share the Disaster
Come to Dust
(Note: it's not necessary but definitely wouldn't hurt to also read Epilogue: Studies in Light, Seeds, You Don't Know Me, Epicenter and Choices After Evil for some background on the universe Sandra has set up.)
Why: I FOUND IT! This is probably my favorite Highlander fanfic series of all time, which still leaves me in awe of Sandra's ability to give the HL mythology depth and scope it never had on-screen, but back when I rec'ed "Seeds" I thought it had been taken permanently off-line. Glad I was wrong!

Title: Squeeze
Author: Noelle
Pairing: none, really
Spoilers: season 1, to be on the safe side
Summary: John teaches Elizabeth how to shoot.
Link: Squeeze
Why: I hate the idea of Weir with a weapon, but if it ever did become necessary, this is *exactly* how I would see it playing out.

Title: Five Ways the World Won't End (And One Way It Could)
Author: CL Kamnikar
Pairing: mostly-ignorable hints of Buffy/Spike, Willow/Xander, Xander/Anya, Willow/Wesley, Giles/Anya, Angel/Cordelia, others
Spoilers: Buffy--up through "The Killer in Me" then just speculation; Fray--issue 6 (but you don't need to read Fray to understand it, I don't *g*)
Summary: See title.
Link: Five Ways the World Won't End (And One Way It Could)
Why: Bittersweet little alternate endings to "The Gift" and season 7, proving that the end of the world doesn't always have to mean the apocalypse, or even be something that everyone in the world would even notice.

Title: Living History
Author: Lizbeth Marcs
Pairing: sorta...simultaneously pre- and post-Xander/Faith (you'll understand once you read it)
Spoilers: all the way through "Chosen" and slight ones for Angel S5
Summary:
Link: Living History
Why: I saw this on crack_van and got so engrossed I was up all night reading it (seriously--I finally forced myself to stop at Chapter 50 at 6AM and pick back up after work), which is pretty darned remarkable for a post-"Chosen" fic in which ( spoiler ) really happened!

Title: What the Future May Hold
Author: Madraf
Pairing: Jim/Megan, Blair/Megan
Spoilers: the whole series, to be on the safe side
Summary: One possible future for Jim Ellison.
Link: What the Future May Hold
Why: Because it's pretty much the only Jim/Megan fic out there not written by me, medie or dragonsinger, and because it's a believable combo of hurt and hope. WARNING: Deathfic.

Title: see links
Author: Cindy Combs
Pairing: extremely slight eventual Jim/OC
Spoilers: varies
Summary: Jim and Blair meet MacGyver and discover just how much the latter has in common with the Phoenix Foundation's resident genius.

Why: Because this series is so cool, I sometimes have to remind myself that it's not canon for any of the fandoms involved. ;-)

Title: The Last Worthless Evening
Author: Anne Hedonia
Pairing: Doggett/Scully, Mulder/Scully implied
Summary: "A necessary emotional arrangement."
Link: The Last Worthless Evening
Why: Considered by many (me included) to be the definitive DSR fic, and one that doesn't ignore Mulder's place in the equation.

Title: Left Behind
Author: miera
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir, Sheppard/McKay, implied Sheppard/Weir/McKay
Spoilers: "The Siege" I & II
Summary: Holding them together is all that's kept John from falling apart.
Link: Left Behind
Why: Best S/W/M OT3 fic *ever*.

Title: Faraway Fields
Author: Jeanine
Pairing: Teyla/Beckett
Spoilers: S1
Summary: Home is where the heart is.
Link: Faraway Fields
Why: I've had a soft spot for Teyla/Beckett ever since the end of "Rising" and this really hit it. *g*

Title: Over Sea
Author: XMagicalX
Pairing: none
Spoilers: "Return of the King"
Summary: Sam's final journey, and what he finds at the end of it.
Link: Over Sea
Why: It's incredibly sweet. Not 100% in line with the Undying Lands as Tolkien envisioned them, but in such a way that you don't mind because of the result.
