Fic Recs- In the order they came out of my del.icio.us
Harvey Wallbanger by nightbeast
It seemed that being ginger singled you out for trouble regardless of time or place. Maybe the next time the Doctor was unconscious she’d dye his hair the appropriate colour for his lifestyle.
I love this for the look at what non-human biology means. Is Doctor/Donna but not romantic
The Sacred Art of Stealing by Netgirl_y2k
"Luke, how do you fancy a quick jaunt round the Milky Way?"
"Mum said that if any strange men offered to take me anywhere I was to say no."
"Excellent parental advice, that, but I'm sure she didn't mean me."
"She used your name."
"Ah."
The Doctor wants some pre-trained humans for travelling purposes. Yep.

The TARDIS makes it unnecessary to learn new languages; it doesn't make it impossible.
Gut punch
Wherever I may Roam by ireak
“This is the Doctor, currently residing at Martha’s old phone number. If you’re trying to reach me, Martha, I can’t answer right now, possibly because the universe is ending or there are some really good drink specials at Milliways. And if you’re trying to reach Martha Jones, clearly she isn’t here anymore. What sort of friend are you that you don’t have her new number? For shame.”
PICTURE IT
They Grip the Ground by giddygeek
Jack shook his head and laid a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Gwen. We have the biggest Ronocijitikel trap in existence right here, right now."
Everyone looked at Ianto, who shrugged, having never seen anything labeled 'Ronocijitikel trap, extra-large' in the archives.
"Our imaginations," Jack said, and swept off towards the garage, his coat a snapping sail behind him. "Follow me!"
Misfiled Under Harmless by giddygeek
No, no," Jack said. "It's sort of like a Polaroid camera. It takes a picture. The fascinating and often quite hilarious thing is that each Guisomer takes a different kind of picture. For example, some may show you as your skeleton, and some may show you with your last sexual partner, and some may show you the last time you laughed so hard that tears rolled down your cheeks."
!!! I love this one. In all caps, reccing glee.
Closed Circuit by szm
The TARDIS re-materialises inside the hub and three figures step out. Ianto is holding a tray of coffee at the time. He drops it with a crash and stares, mouth open. The coffee soaks into his shoes. Later he’ll have to throw his socks away.
Everyone thinks it’s because of Jack.
It’s not.
AU from third season of DW re: how it ended but. Holy shit, gut punch, man.
Of more value than many Sparrows by icebluenothing
"People. That's right. Hundreds and hundreds of everyday people, going about their ordinary little lives. Do you know any of them?"
"No."
"No? You're sure? You don't know when they die, what happens to them -- you don't know when each sparrow falls?"
Fucking gut wrenchingly beautiful
His Story by calapine
How many hearts have you broken? How many people have you left behind? How many have travelled with you? How many hurt for the rest of their lives because you dumped them? Abandoned them? Forced them away and found someone new?
Yes. Just Yes.
House
Passover by ragefrufrock
Wilson is probably the most terrible Jew in the tri-state area-and that’s even accounting his unprecedented capacity for guilt.
The Body Found by fourteencandles
"They think you kidnapped Wilson?"
"Actually," House says, "they think I murdered him, and then hid his body somewhere clever."
Beautiful, heartbreaking, and an amazing progession.
James Bond
Through Smoke and Mirrors by Kitty Fischer
It was very dark. Four in the morning and all he could make out were shadows. His senses tried to stretch through the fear, but all he could smell was the cordite and sweat staining his own clothes, all he could hear was his own heart and the world seemed to centre itself on the cold steel rammed under his cheekbone.
There seemed little doubt that this - whatever this turned out to be - was meant for him, but just in case: "Can I help you at all? Perhaps we could put the light on?" Bond kept his voice smooth and urbane, though his mind was flashing through a thousand possibilities. "You never know - you might have the wrong flat."
Noncon warning, kink warning. But holy wow. Alec and James
Lord of the Rings
They say of Elves by Brancher
You know what they say of the Elves, that they'll tumble you soon as look at you; seducers, coquettes, you'll wake with only a handful of leaves and a sweet taste in your mouth.
I'd go ahead and say this is the Best Legolas/Gimli fic ever
Merlin
Disguises and Imposters by entangled_now
"I don't look a bit like a woman," Merlin protested again.
"You don't have to be attractive," Arthur said, like it was the most ridiculous thing in the world. "You just have to fool people into thinking you were born a girl."
Fun, funny, excellent dialogue
Damsel in Distress by thehoyden
"I hear we're like two sides of one coin!" Arthur called after him.
"Oh my god," Merlin moaned in despair.
I really like this Arthur
Wires Crossed by robot_sky
"Oh," he says. Then, with a yelp, "Oh my God! Is that -- oh my God! Why didn't anyone say anything?!"
Oh Merlin. So cute. So dumb
Stargate Atlantis
Freedom's Just Another Word for nothing left to lose by synecdochic
Seventy-four of those two hundred and eleven names have their place on the rolls of the honored dead because of him, because of his action or inaction. He spends the entire semester trying to prepare his students for the possibility that one day they might have to start keeping their own memorial list.
Makes me cry everytime. Seriously
Supernatural
Like Whiplash by biggletation
Dean is standing at the foot of his bed, watching his brother drive a nail into the wall above the nightstand. He's half-hard and pissed off. His cheeks are hot and his mouth is dry.
Because the nail is for a bag, and the bag is for water, and the water is for him.
homg. Homg. Hot like burning and extremely well written kink
