Author: Spikey44
Rating: Teen
Warnings: violence, some gore, some swearing, adult situations
Length: ~304,000 words
Genre: Drama/Action/Adventure
Main Character(s)/Pairing(s): Gambit
Summary: An AU tale of bad boys and bad girls, rebellion and secrets. A tale of Marauders and Xmen, damnation and redemption and the thin line betwixt and between. Post Onslaught, a story of Gambit, Polaris, Creed, Sinister and the Xmen. This time it's war.
Why you should read it: An epic tale of Gambit against Sinister that's not a retread. It's original. It's authentic. It's full of backstory and history and ideas that continually twist in new and surprising directions. This is almost completely gen. Everyone is in character. The story is awesome.

Sherlock Holmes
Sub-fandom: BBC
Title: Three's Company
Author: lbmisscharlie
Rating: unrated
Warnings: none
Length: 2500 (estimated; five comments on the kinkmeme. I'm not sure if it was ever posted elsewhere)
Genre: Domestic fluff
Main Character(s)/Pairing(s): Holmes, Watson, Lestrade
Summary: Lestrade spends time around 221b. That's it, really.
Why you should read it: It's a simple little thing with a wonderful execution. On top of the sort of domestic fluff that comes with the friendship of Holmes and Lestrade, there's an added element of 'are they or aren't they?' between Holmes and Watson that keeps both the reader and DI Lestrade guessing throughout the fic.
