(Find these recs and 89 others - and counting - at my del.icio.us.)
Smallville - Clark/Lex
Jenn
"Sleep While I Drive"
Everyone loves a road-trip fic.
"A Life More Ordinary"
"It wasn't sudden, and Lex didn't know it was happening until it had. And then he did."
Punk M
"Freshman Orientation"
"Welcome to Metropolis University. Located in the heart of Metropolis, MU offers a modern education in an urban environment filled with cultural diversity, personal challenges, and endless opportunities for growth."
"Interstitial"
"He doesn't know why this is happening."
shrift
"Uncle Einar"
"Uncle Einar is more progressive than you might think."
Pun
"Le Dormeur du Val"
The Sleeper in the Valley.
CSI - Nick/Greg
Caroline Crane
"Down the Line," "A Hundred Indecisions"
Loverly post-PWF h/c.
The Camping Series: "Doubt Thou the Stars are Fire," "Doubt Truth to be a Liar," "Never Doubt At All"
Sleeping bag sex, huzzah!
"All the Way to Paris"
Long, beautiful post-explosion AU.
Caster
"Four Lessons in Love"
"Careless affection was letting go when it got too hard. But they never let go in the beginning and they certainly wouldn’t now. That sort of love could never be wrong."
geekwriter
"One Good Man"
If you read one story in this pairing, make it this one.
"Belly"
"Will you still love me when I'm 800 pounds and have to have an electric scooter custom made so I can make it through Wal-Mart?"
Lise
"This Apocalypse Ain't Kind"
Beautiful post-apocalyptic fic. Not recommended if you can't handle the death and destruction, though.
Neko
"Into the Halls of Silent Kings"
Another gorgeous post-apocalyptic story.
Stargate SG-1 - Sam/Jack
Nanda
"Resolution," "Salvage," "The Furies Wept"
Pretty much a mixture of everything -- smut, angst, adventure, AU. Fabulous.
Little Red
"Home Economics"
"Sam takes issue with something in Jack's house."
Stargate Atlantis
minnow
"Five Ways Ronon Dex Kisses a Team Member" - gen, het, and slash
"Use it if it makes you better. Put it away if it makes you worse."
chelle
"That Pon Farr Thing" - McKay/Sheppard
Classic, yet surprisingly nuanced AliensMadeThemDoIt cliche fic.
Jenn
"Something More" - McKay/Sheppard
"He's out of practice with dealing with John, and it shows."
The X-Files - Mulder/Scully
Syntax6
"Blood Oranges"
Hands-down, one of my favorite old-school XF fics. Long, winding, scary, and beautiful.
"Embers"
Another novel-length casefile fic from this great author. She always manages to create that perfect mix of mystery, intrigue, angst, character development, humor, and, of course, sex. *g*
M. Sebasky
"Gold to Airy Thinness Beat"
A beautifully dark vignette. Warning for character death.
Revely
"The Dreaming Sea"
"A spectacular sighting in a seaside town brings Scully and Mulder face-to-face with a salt-water surprise." (The story isn't as silly as its summary.)
Kel and Michelle Kiefer
"Bone of Contention"
"When an investigation in the middle of nowhere opens old wounds, 2000 miles away becomes too close to home. Can Mulder and Scully unravel the puzzle before they fall apart?"
Ophelia
"Resurgam"
Something very angry is haunting a tiny graveyard on the Vineyard."
House - House/Wilson
Milkshake Butterfly
"Balances"
"If I'd known," Wilson said, with a strained sort of levity in his voice, "that you were concerned enough to wait for me, I'd have asked you to meet me at the door with a cocktail and a kiss."
"Trivial Pursuits"
"He'd been divorced for four weeks, six days, and eight hours--and just because this was the third time didn't mean it necessarily hurt any less--when House finally did something, possibly because after all this time Wilson had stopped expecting him to."
"Defensive Strategies"
Adorable, in-character cliche fic.
shalott
"Maryland"
"Wilson should just learn to ask for what he wants."
X-Men Movieverse - Wolverine/Rogue
Terri
Eighteen Series
30-some chapters of post-X1 goodness. Fantastic.
Alter-Eighteen Series
Alternate series of events for the Eighteen series. These ones are almost more fun.
