Why This Must Be Read:
Mako and Raleigh post-kaiju are grieving the loss of not just other people but their drift partnership, too. This explores the two of them coming to terms with the losses in their lives and rebuilding their personal relationship as well. Lots of angst.

Why This Must Be Read:
Jedibuttercup does the most amazing job of fusing Buffyverse with Terra Nova, and making it logical. I love her fusions, and she's written more than a few, but I like this one just a little bit more.

There is no focus on any one non-familial relationship, but most of the background pairings are het.

Why This Must Be Read:
What happens to a friends-with-benefits relationship when the two parties get pregnant? This is a marvelously told story of two people making the right decision for them, and holding onto their friendship in the process.
