Fess up! by the_girl_20 is a short Ash/Scribbs piece that had me laughing out loud. Spot-on characterization and brilliant little plot.
On the other side of the coin, Jungle Fever by Nordica (a.k.a. Nique Bartok) is a wonderfully long Maca/Esther (Hospital Central) story that I'm re-reading. The first time through I had seen like one clip of the show, but now that I'm more familiar with the characters and what they've gone through in canon, this AU story (set primarily in the Congo) is that much more satisfying. (I haven't read much HC fic -- again, the language barrier -- but this is the cream of the crop at P&P.)
I did the same thing with G.L. Dartt's Bad Girls series (Dead Slow, Slow & Steady, Steady On) once I had actually watched most of the Helen/Nikki episodes. These are by far the best H/N fics I've found. I'm definitely biased about length, and these three stories together give you something to sink your teeth into. It's done so well that I've started to think of it as canon, as the actual story of what happened to the characters after they left the show.
