I've been meaning to post this for awhile, just adding to it and adding to it.
Glee
bana05 has been writing an amazing series of Mercedes/Sam stories that are just absolutely delightful. I already loved them as a couple, but this series is how I wish canon would go. (My heart.) And her Mercedes/Sam isn't the only good part. I love the ensemble pieces and Mike and Sam's friendship and the way the girls are friends, OH GOD, later, Mercedes and Santana, I will mark that one special. This series has really been the highlight of my summer; I don't comment enough, but every time I see a new one, I use it as a reward and a treat for me getting through some really rough times. AMAZING STUFF RIGHT HERE.

Harry Potter
Cho Chang and the Jasmine Code by
xenokattzSummary: (Set between Half-Blood Prince & Deathly Hallows) Before returning to help her former schoolmates in the Battle of Hogwarts, Cho Chang fought against Voldemort & his follows in a more covert manner.
This is amazing, beautiful. Cho is such a fleshed out character here, and the cover way she fights is perfect. I love this story.
Criminal Minds
The C in the Capwell Hotel (JJ/Garcia)
Summary: They had known each other almost exactly six months. JJ thought about an anniversary gift but wondered if it would be inappropriate.
callmesandy wrote this for me for Femslash 11, and it is delightful, charming and sweet and funny.
