http://boonies.livejournal.com/296112.htmlRating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: Humor, Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: I seriously LOVE the idea of Sheldon being obsessed with procreation. This fic has it all: wonderful Penny/Sheldon banter (and hints of a blossoming realtionship between the two), Sheldon babysitting, and a fun group dynamic. This continues to be one of my favorite Sheldon/Penny fics.
* Day 09 - A fic for your favorite live action TV show pairing.
Fandom Category: Heroes
Pairing: Claire Bennet/Sylar, Claire Bennet/Alex Woolsly
Fic Title: Alter States

Genre: Adventure, Angst, Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: While Alex and Claire were never more than flirty on the show, the potential for them to be a couple was there. Claire and Sylar were never considered a couple, and yet the two kept getting thrown together over and over again. This fic takes a look at the dynamics between the characters and weaves a completely believable story of who Claire would end up with and why. Beautifully done and very in-character.
* Day 10 - A fic for your favorite Movie pairing.
Fandom Category: Pretty Woman
Pairing: Vivian Ward/Edward Lewis
Fic Title: contract negotiations (always open with a 'no')
Author: kangeiko

http://archiveofourown.org/works/131129Rating/Warning(s): Teen
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: If you ever wondered what happened to Vivian and Edward once the credits rolled this is the fic for you. Taking place in New York the author gives us a fun glimpse of the couple as they start their lives together. Surprising and sweet, this author gave fans a glimpse of a couple we didn't want to stop watching.
* Day 11 - A fic for your favorite Book pairing.
Fandom Category: Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larson
Pairing: Lisbeth Salander/Mikael Blomkvist
Fic Title: The Desk Clerks Dressed In Black
Author: krabapple

http://archiveofourown.org/works/301435Rating/Warning(s): Explicit
Genre: Romance, Smut
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: If you've read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo books you already know the story of Lisbeth and how she fell in love with Mikael. This fic brings them together finally, which the author was never able to do. Not only is this a satisfying end to the books, it's an exciting beginning for these characters as a couple. (And did I mention it was hot? Because it is seriously hot.) Go and read. You'll thank me later.
* Day 12 - A fic for your favorite Animated pairing.
Fandom Category: Megamind
Pairing: Roxanne Ritchi/Megamind
Fic Title: The Science of Failure
Author: NLRummi

http://archiveofourown.org/works/302087Rating/Warning(s): G
Genre: Fluff, romance
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: This is a nice little fic about Roxanne and Megamind post-movie. Roxanne think she has Megamind figured out, and she does. Sort of. It's all about how you frame success. This one is well written with wonderful characterisations.
* Day 14 - A fic for an Old School Fandom from back in the day.
Fandom Category: X-Men Movieverse
Pairing: Rogue/Wolverine
Fic Title: The Lab
Author: Ramos
Link:
http://www.wolverineandrogue.com/fic/dbfiction.php?fiction_id=313Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, mentions of torture, medical experimentation, and possible dubious consent
Genre: AU, romance, Angst
WIP?: No
Why This Must Be Read: I can't imagine being a fan of this pairing and not having read this fic. It is an old school standard. Logan and Marie are captured by a mysterious government lab, drugged, and thrown together. You can guess what happens next. I love this pairing in AUs since we didn't get as much interactions in the movies as I felt the characters deserved. This one is many chapters long and has a slow build-up, but the final chapters are worth it.
Mods may I get tags for Fandom: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Pairing: Lisbeth Salander/Mikael Blomkvist, Fandom: Pretty Woman, Pairing: Vivian Ward/Edward Lewis? Thank you! :)
