Stargate: Atlantis
The Boy Who Didn't Need Stories by wojelah (Gen, Radek-centric, with a hint of pre-ship Radek/Teyla)
Oh, I really have no words for how lovely this story is. It's quiet and poetic and beautiful, and there's no good way to describe it, but it made me feel so much better about my day.
Once upon a time, there lived a small boy who had no use for fairy tales. Many years later, his head pounding and blood on his shirt, opening his eyes and finding that he is sitting against a sealed bulkhead, with a ton of debris cutting three of his friends off from their only chance at safety, Radek Zelenka thinks about his grandmother, and the story of the golden bird, and realizes that he might, finally, have started to understand.
Heroes
Five Games Sylar Never Played by sameoldhope (Gen, Sylar-centric)
Five different AUs of what could have happened over S1. All of them are amazing and have wonderful characterization. Definitely worth a read.
There are no rules of engagement when it's a game of power.
Crossovers
Outstanding, Soldier by sundancekid (The Office US/Little Miss Sunshine)
I never would have thought of Frank/Toby, but oh, it works perfectly. They're both so tired, and the way they interact-- it's really an engaging and wonderful story.
He only has one student who seems at all promising: Toby Flenderson.
What The Ducklings Did On Their Summer Vacation (SGA/House, Gen)
You wouldn't think this works, but it does. The interactions were hilarious and amusing, and the entire story was quite believable.
Wherein the ducklings are recruited, captured, rescued, yelled at, and that thing they’re not going to mention again ever, and discover that brilliant jerks aren't only found on Earth.
