Title: Wild Honey
Author: Sanj
Pairing: Idgie/Ruth
Spoilers: movieverse
Summary: Even a bee-charmer can be charmed by someone she loves.
Link: Wild Honey
Why: Because every character's voice was so pitch-perfect it took my breath away, and because it brought back the love story that the movie left out.

Title: Please Discuss Only Approved Topics With Your AI

Pairing: none, although not for lack of SARAH's trying ;-)
Spoilers: nothing past the second episode *that I know of* but I haven't watched the show in a while
Summary: When sentient houses turn matchmaker.
Link: Please Discuss Only Approved Topics With Your AI
Why: This is another one that does a great job of capturing the silliness inherent in Eureka's premise, especially where SARAH is concerned. *giggle* Oh, and probably not work safe. ;-)

Title: Five, er, Six Reports Nathan Stark Wishes Never Crossed His Desk
Author: Merlin Missy
Pairing: negligible mentions of Carter/Allison, Carter/Stark, Stark/Allison
Spoilers: um...I have no idea
Summary: See title.
Link: Five, er, Six Reports Nathan Stark Wishes Never Crossed His Desk
Why: I *loved* the madcap, black humor of Eureka's pilot. I stopped watching when it started trying to take itself too seriously (although I really should check and see if they ever got over that), but this story had everything I loved about the series in it, and nothing I didn't. Also a couple of the most *fantastic* crossovers. :-)

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.

Title: Things That Go Bump in the Night

Summary: A frustrated investigation leaves Abby with a lot of questions, and Kate with a few answers.
Link: Things That Go Bump in the Night
Why: Because it works exactly the way a crossover between NCIS and SG-1 should, right down to what Kate knows and why. The fact that it was written for me for
ncis_tinsel last year has nothing to do with it, I swear. ;-)

Title: Seachange
Author: alyse
Pairing: Sheppard/Weir/McKay UST
Spoilers: through "Hot Zone"
Summary: Elizabeth thought they'd be home by Christmas.
Link: Seachange
Why: This lovely piece meanders its way from the day of departure to the first Christmas on Atlantis, slowing down around "The Storm" and "The Eye" to give us a beautiful little bit of post-ep bonding between S/W/M. It doesn't really have a plot, but as slice-of-life fic goes, this is one of the best I've ever read even without the delicious OT3 bits. :-)

Spoilers: for pretty much the entire series (all 43 seasons plus some books/audios)
Summary: Jack shags just about every companion the Doctor ever had.
Link: Everybody Wants You
Why: Because it cracks me up and yet is totally believable, not to mention HOT. And because there's Jack/Nyssa!

Title: A Swell Party
Author: Claire
Pairing Grouping: Nine/Rose/Jack
Spoilers: all of Nine's run, just to be on the safe side
Summary: Take Bertie Wooster's life, add three time travelers hot on the trail of a stolen alien artifact, a healthy helping of chaos, scandal and romantic entanglements of all sorts, and what do you get?--a mess it will require all of Jeeves' incomparable wits to unravel.
Link: A Swell Party--chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Why: For Doctor Who, 1920s/30s England is practically in the back yard, but it's a lot trickier to introduce a crossover believably into Jeeves & Wooster's world, especially a science fiction one. This one manages amazingly, though, managing to be true to the tone and characters of both mediums, and make you roll on the floor laughing too. *g*

Summary: They need each other--it's as simple and as complex as that.
Link: Applied Psychology
Why: Part of me honestly doesn't know why I keep coming back to this series--yes, I have a threesome kink, but the other kinks in the series are things I would usually avoid. (Though I've never tested that theory *g*, I strongly suspect that my sexual style will be about as vanilla as they come. *g*) But all I can say is...in a way I can't quite explain to myself, it works for the characters. Especially the way rebecca writes them all so beautifully in character. Oh, and ZOMG *HOT*! (That reminds me, keep the kiddies away from this one--it's *very* NC-17!)
