The Things They Don't Tell You, by
slumber.
Harry Potter | Oliver Wood/Percy Weasley | NC-17 | ~ 3,500 words
You had a plan, a path, a purpose, but nobody told you things didn't always work out to your liking.
-- > I really love Percy's voice here, he seems very real and Percy-like to me. And I like his and Oliver's interaction. The sex came a bit out of the blue, but I think Percy doesn't have the self awareness here, so it doesn't really bother me. I adore all the details about the ministry, very realistic.

Like Wrecks of a Dissolving Dream, by

Harry Potter | Gen | PG | ~ 1,240 words
Of recovery. Of those who are still left, after everything is over, in the aftermath of the first war. Drabbles on how the world rights itself (or fails to do so), after everything is over.
-- > I adore this look on how the different people cope and deal after the war. Lovely character pieces.
Bandom:

the wisdom of the deep, by
provetheworst.
Bandom | Gen; Brendon Urie | PG | ~ 2,140 words
Brendon has his face smooshed up against the glass, making stupid faces at the fish. "Hey, look," he says, not to anyone in particular. "This one likes me." He raises his arm and a gape-mouthed fish follows it up. When he drops it, the fish swims down after his hand. "I'm the fish-master, guys." - Crack.
-- > This is so funny, and I love the over-the-top Brendon here. He really fits in a crack!fic like this.

To Where the Sky Opens, by
andsparkles.
Bandom | Brendon/Pete | NC-17 | ~ 1,600 words
Brendon hears Pete shuffling around outside the bus before he sees him. It’s an odd sort of shuffle-half-step that’s muted against wet asphalt and muffled by the bulk of the bus. Brendon stops at the door, fingers just touching the handle, and he waits until Pete’s feet are silent before he pushes the door open and peers out. - Set sometime during Nintendo Fusion.
-- > I really love the atmosphere here, and how easy and natural and organic Brendon and Pete come together. The details give just enough that one can see this without it getting over-bearing.

Now the Sun has Come to Earth, by
abyssinia4077.
Stargate SG-1 | Gen; Sam, Teal'c | PG | 793 words
It seems appropriate that Teal'c, who has always been the stable force beside her as everyone else slipped in and out of her life, is here with her now, at the end.
-- > Poignant and bittersweet. I really love Sam here, I can hear her clearly in my head. The imagery is lovely and vivid. Brilliant.
