Title: A Team Is Borne
Author: danvers
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This piece is a little left of center in a lot of ways, but what shines through are a great Lorne and a great Cadman. If you grant the author the premise, there's a lot of fun and interesting characterization to be found.

Title: What Happens In The Clubhouse
Author: skoosiepants
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Kids. Sheppard, McKay, et al. are kids. Adorable, bratty, sniffly kids. The characterization is great and the evolution of the story avoids cliche. It's more fun than you should be allowed to have.

Title: Needs vs. Wants
Author: eponine119
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Threesomes in Lost fandom are sadly few and far between. Here, Sun and Shannon help to relieve the tensions of a very pregnant Claire…and relieve their own tensions in the process. Sexy and sharp, with a prickly, sarcastic Shannon, a horny, subtle Claire, and a quietly inexplicable Sun.

Prompt: 42 - Holiday
Title: Guy Fawkes Eve
Author: hauntedd on FFN
Rating: K+ (PG)
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Shannon and Claire discuss Halloween, holidays on the Island, and friendship. Both are wonderfully characterized, and okay, I'm a sucker for girlbonding fics, but this one's lovely, full of self-realization and subtle acknowledgements.

Title: Red Shirts and Blue Blankets
Author: trollprincess
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Shannon over Boone's corpse. trollprincess manages to mix Shannon's grief and regret with her very distinctive sarcasm and defense mechanisms, saving this from becoming another saccharine "Shannon wishes she'd been better to Boone now that he's dead" fic. Painful and sincere, with an ending that's hopeful without being unrealistic.

Author: correlianjedi
Rating: PG-13

Brief summary: A character study of James "Sawyer" Ford, from childhood to Exodus. Drawing heavily on the original Star Wars trilogy in Sawyer's understanding of himself, this piece is sharp and real and very, very plausible.

Title: The Murder of Colleen Pickett
Author: taffee_mandie
Rating: PG
Length: Short
Brief summary: The Others gather for the funeral of Colleen Pickett. Quiet and eerie and dark, effectively managing to present the Others as the good guys and our survivors as the aggressors. You won't think about Ben and Juliet the same way again…

Title: Not Quite Like The Movies
Author: settiai
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Hurley, Shannon, and Boone discuss Hollywood desert island movies, and how being shipwrecked (or planewrecked) isn't half as much of a vacation as the movies would you like to think. Cute and funny, with gorgeous characterizations. Plus, a ton of sci-fi/fantasy geek shout-outs.

Title: Extract (Artificial Vanilla is Cheaper)
Author: livii
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: An antidote to the mounds of relentlessly fluffy Tenth Doctor/Rose fics out there. This one features a wonderfully dysfunctional Ten/Rose relationship and a very strong ending.

Prompt: 35 - Threesome
Title: Little Lies
Author: saganamidreams
Rating: M
Length: medium
Brief summary: And another dysfunctional relationship fic. Most Ninth Doctor/Rose/Jack stories gloss over or simply ignore the potential issues among these three characters. Not this one, refreshingly. It's dark and twisted.
