Day 1-5, Multiple fandom/pairing, 8 recs
Day 01 - A fic for your current favorite ship.
Fandom Category: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairing: Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes
Fic Title: The Full House
Author: Emcee
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13. SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.
Genre: Drama, Romance, Action
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: Fantastic take on the series post-Reichenbach, directly following Sherlock's fake suicide. Sherlock decides the safest place for him to stay is Molly's flat and living in close quarters with her brings all types of feelings and frustrations to the surface. Plus, an excellently-written Irene Adler drops in and flirts teasingly with both Sherlock and Molly! A great read.
Fandom Category: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairing: Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes
Fic Title: The Pirate and the Doctor
Author: PetraTodd
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: AU, Action/Adventure, Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: Sherlock as a pirate? What more is there to say, really? Incredibly AU, so much fun.
Sherlock Holmes, a very unusual sort of pirate, needs help from a famous physician named Dr. Hooper. Adventure and romance follow, and lots of familiar faces.
Day 02 - A fic for your very first ship.
Fandom Category: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ginny Weasley/Draco Malfoy
Fic Title: Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better
Author: Syn
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Adventure, UST
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: "A man of quality isn't threatened by a woman of equality." Missing scene from OotP. Ginny's recently become the new Gryffindor seeker and her practice gets interrupted by none other than Draco Malfoy. Can he cow her off the pitch? Headstrong!Ginny and Smug!Malfoy. This is one of my favorite fics ever! It's a great one-shot exploring the possible tension and dynamic between these two that you never got a chance to see in the books.
Fandom Category: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ginny Weasley/Draco Malfoy
Fic Title: Oubliette
Author: Syn
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Adventure, Drama
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: There's an age-old television ploy of trapping two (usually fighting) characters in a locked room and letting the fur fly. I did my own take on it (with a twist) and this is the result.
Fandom Category: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ginny Weasley/Draco Malfoy
Fic Title: Break in the sun (till the sun breaks down)
Author: Peki
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: Angst, Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: Harry Potter defeats Lord Voldemort, and the wizarding world rejoices. Ginny Weasley's hopes and dreams seem to come true, at last; Draco Malfoy ends his stay in Azkaban prison. But there is more to life than the obvious choices, and as Ginny and Draco struggle to redefine themselves in a post-war world, a chance encounter leads to more than either of them could ever have imagined... Written before Deathly Hallows came out, but can still be read as canon-compliant (except for epilogue).
Day 03 - A fic for UST.
Fandom Category: Powerpuff Girls
Pairing: Buttercup/Butch
Fic Title: Swordplay
Author: sbj
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: Drama, UST
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: Butch has a major thing for Buttercup and so starts a sword fight with her. There is much taunting, cutting, blood, licking, and Buttercup trying not to give in to the sexual tension. Oh and it's really INSANELY HOT. Like, if I'm in the mood for smut fic, I go to this (even though there is no actual sex).
Day 04 - A fic that demonstrates how a pairing with little canon romantic chemistry/interaction can totally work.
Fandom Category: Hunger Games
Pairing: Madge Undersee/Gale Hawthorne
Fic Title: Saturday Night in the Seam
Author: Solaryllis
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: What do people do for fun in District 12 when the threat of immediate death isn't hanging over them? A very unlikely, different explanation for Gale's hostility toward Madge on reaping day. Set pre-HG. Gale and Madge run into each other at a town event without Katniss there to act as a buffer and must take time to consider each other for once.
Day 05 - A fic with the best kiss/sex scene.
Fandom Category: Hana Yori Dango
Pairing: Makino Tsukushi/Domyouji Tsukasa
Fic Title: Celebration
Author: Jennifer Wand
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: Domyouji has recently moved in next door and comes over to use her shower. Just a really sweet look at Makino dealing with her attraction and letting herself feel secure and good about those feelings. Kissing ensues.
