Brief summary: Ginny and Harry are days away from their wedding, which promises to be the biggest the Wizarding World has ever seen. Ginny doesn’t love Harry, but she’s doing it because it’s what’s expected of her. At the last possible moment, however, she begins to wonder if she’s doing the right thing, after all. Now... why did I pick this fic? There are several break-ups and make-ups and the best make-up at the end... So yeah... it fits perfectly for the prompt.

Pairing: Mal/Inara
Prompt: 09. Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: Inara doesn't actually appear in this story til the very end, but it's a gorgeous look at Mal when he's injured and his desire for Inara to come visit, when everybody else comes instead of her. It makes it wonderfully sweet when she finally arrives, too.

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: The Pastry Caper

Characters: Mal, Inara, Kaylee, Wash, Zoe, Jayne, Simon, River
Pairing: Jayne/Simon
Prompt: 15. Crack!Fic
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: So I'm slightly pushing this here as an Inara rec, since it's not really involving her as the central character, but I was really pushing it to find something I could fit into this category! This fic is fantastic fun with perfect characterisation, and involves the crew having to go out on a job in order to save Inara from a client who's held her hostage...
Link to the story: The Pastry Caper

...and there's a sequel, too - Offer. Doesn't feature Inara at all, and its Jayne/Mal/Simon, but it's still top quality stuff and I thought it would be only fair to mention it! :D

Prompt: 13. Established Relationship
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: With Tara's fics there's just so much choice of what to rec, because she writes so well! I love this one particularly because it has wonderful rhythm, and I always love fics that are dialogue-free and still managed to stay so perfectly in character as this one does.

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: A Light in the Darkness
Author: Amy
Characters: Inara/River
Prompt: 18. Light
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: I love this fic because it not only manages to really get inside River, which is so hard to do, it believably shows *Inara* being the one to understand River. I find pairing River with anyone hard to read a lot of the time, but the way that it works in this fic is completely perfect and believeable.

Brief summary: This is a crossover between X-Men and X-Files. After a ship crashes in Strange Enounter Mulder and Scully investigate. They meet up with the X-men. Faith and Dreams can probably be read without reading Strange Encounter however. It's just great because Gambit gets tortured and there's loads of angst.

"Nice Southern Girls" and "Superhero"

BIG DAMN TABLE

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: Nice Southern Girls
Author: Macha at The Sticky Wicket and [livejournal.com profile] thestickywicket.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 05. Sex
Rating: NC-17/Adult
Length: medium
Brief summary: It's pretty accepted in fanon that Rogue is in love with Wolverine (Logan, whatever... this superhero name thing is getting frustrating), and that he spends at least part of the time trying to resist her. I love this piece because it shows how Rogue tries to navigate between getting Wolverine to notice her and not scaring him off. And then, of course, there is the sex, with some skin issues and clever manipulation of underthings to allow it to happen. Did I mention that the sex is on a coffee table, and then the floor? Whew.

Claim: X-Men Movieverse, Rogue
Title: Superhero
Author: Molly at [livejournal.com profile] mollita.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 06. Anger
Rating: R
Length: mediumish
Brief summary: Written (for me!) for the [livejournal.com profile] xmmficathon X-Men Movieverse Ficathon this year, this story is really just an excuse to have Rogue get really pissed off at Logan, and for them to have a good old fashioned argument. I'm such a sucker for stories that involve fighting and Rogue's skin mutation and Logan's odd protective streak towards her, and this one hits every one of these things. And, oh yes, Logan dies at the beginning of the story... but only a little bit, promise!

Title: Tulsa
Author: Ransom, at Eye Teeth and [livejournal.com profile] lilmissrrhood.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 08. Friendship
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium to longish
Brief summary: What I love the most about this incarnation of Rogue is her quiet certainty of Logan's affections, and her willingness to let him take the necessary time and space to figure it out. There's something intimate about Logan calling her to talk on the phone from half a continent away, that makes me believe this couple has a basis in friendship before romance.

Title: The Girl in the Green Coat
Author: [livejournal.com profile] orange_crushed.
Characters: Wolverine, Rogue
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche
Rating: PG, for language
Length: shortish
Brief summary: I don't know if this is a cliche so much as it is an oft-done fanon intepretation of canon events that happened in X-Men (the movie). It goes through the events at Laughlin City, where Wolverine and Rogue first meet. This story is excellent because of the bits of backstory the author gives to Rogue and Wolverine, switching between their voices flawlessly. It's a fabulous introduction to these two characters, and pretty effectively explains why I love this pairing -- the subtext and danger, baby.

My table

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Elizabeth Weir
Title: "At the Horizon"
Author: Jen
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, John Sheppard, others
Prompt: 18. Light
Length: 700 words
Brief summary: A series of seven drabbles about the Atlantis team making the Pegasus Galaxy home, with Elizabeth as the viewpoint character (and a hint of Sheppard/Weir 'ship). They're vivid little snapshots, gorgeous but concise word pictures that pack a lot of emotional punch in very little space. I chose this prompt for the rec because light and/or light colors are a common thread in most of the drabbles--stars, sunsets, white and gold in particular.

Author: eretria
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett
Prompt: 14. Loss

In a world where a massive war has raged for years and now that it is finally over how can battle-hardened Ron Weasley go on? With a strange ailment of silver eyes and blindness Ron turns to Severus Snape for help. Extremely well-written AU that does justice to all the main characters and leaves you believing that this could have been the fate of Ron, Severus, Draco, Harry and all the rest. Excerpt )

Brief summary: Ron has lived his life free of the wizarding world after the ultimate betrayal by those who love him, but when Draco Malfoy comes around looking for him things might just not be the same. Another story featuring my favorite kink of men in drag and the characterization is spot on. Excerpt )

Brief summary: If you have read this author before you know that caelum is a good storyteller and can make almost any scenario an interesting read. This is a perfect example of that. It is a crazy AU where the boys end up in the living room of some very crafty fangirls, yet it fits perfectly with the world of Smallville. We all wish this would happen to us.

Prompt: 14. Loss
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: This story starts off with Klaus dead and Dorian living without Klaus in his life to torment and worship. Then comes the twist. This is a darker look into Klaus's mind, as some horrible things about his past are revealed to Eroica and the readers. It's good, and so satisfying, with a great ending. Excerpt )

Author: Kadorienne [livejournal.com profile] mosellegreen
Characters: Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach /Eroica (or Dorian Red Gloria, Earl of Gloria), ensemble
Prompt: 21. Epiphany
Rating: R
Length: medium
Brief summary: Told from Klaus's point of view, this story starts with the moment that Klaus realizes he loves Eroica to the point that he learns to trust Eroica (when the thief gets himself beaten bloody in order to retrieve Klaus's microfilm). After that, it charts their relationship from the first night together, until years later. I especially love the way that Eroica slowly makes the Major's house more liveable, and how Klaus grudgingly submits to it. This is one of my favorite fanfic stories ever, and I have read a lot of fanfics from a lot of different fandoms. Even if you don't know much about From Eroica With Love, read the excerpt at least, before you dismiss this story and this writer. Excerpt )

Brief summary: You know how there are certain stories where you read a specific line or paragraph, and you're pulled into the story? This is one of those stories. Examples and excerpts behind the cut. )

Along with that, the fight in this fic is very believable and raw, and it's almost painful to read. The backstory and the history between them is so strong, and that just emphasizes *everything* about the rest of this fic. It's beautifully written and has a very satisfying conclusion as well.

Seth and Ryan go back to Chino so Ryan can pick up his stuff from a storage locker, and this situation is such a wonderful way to showcase these different things. This is one of those fics where Seth is completely selfless while still being *Seth*, and the way he thinks of Ryan and worries about Ryan is very sweet and subtly romantic while not going overboard.
