Shorter Pieces
I have a bias towards longer stuff. Novellas and Novel-length stuff. But there are some great pieces out there that are short. Drabbles, vingettes and short stories. I thought I'd highlight some of those.
Title: Frustration
Fandom: Ocean's 11
Author: kaitscribbles
Keywords: Slash
Summary: Rusty and Linus
Why I rec'ed it: It's mainly a PWP, but it's tight. Set in the middle of the movie, it shows a nice level of complexity about the way the characters interact.
Title: Things are Changin
Fandom: Joan of Arcadia
Author: iphignia939
Keywords: Het, drama
Summary: Grace considers her relationship with Luke.
Why I rec'ed it: Because Gale does the best Luke/Grace out there. Luke and Grace were the reason I liked season 2 of JoA. This story shows exactly why I loved them.
Title: They Say of Elves
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Author: Brancher
Keywords: Slash
Summary: Gimli and Legolas, post-trilogy.
Why I rec'ed it: This is one of the best stories for showing how much can be done with a few of the right words. It's been rec'ed elsewhere, and with good reason. Not a single excess word, and all of it elegent.
Title: Hidden in the Heart
Fandom: SGA
Author: history_gurl
Keywords: Slash, angst, character death
Summary: A mission goes wrong
Why I rec'ed it: This story was a like a kick in the gut. Again, tons done with very few words. I've read and reread this story and it never loses its impact.
Title: High Tech
Fandom: SGA
Author: wickedwords
Keywords: Gen
Summary: Rodney came to America for high tech.
Why I rec'ed it: The Stargate series are supposed to take place in the "real" world, or at least close to it. This ties that into McKay's history wonderfully. After all, why is a Canadian working for the US military?
