Alias
Have the Lambs Stopped Screaming? by Mala
Sark and Robin Dixon have a conversation on the way to the rendezvous in the episode "Taken. " Short, sharp, brilliant, with a kicker of a last line.

Firefly
Harbor by Nifra Idril
I’m not a big believer in Mal/Simon, but Nif makes it work here. This story is short and hits you like a kick in the gut.

L'Engleverse
If I hadn't already written Earthsea fanfic, and recced Narnia porn, I might fear hell for this. But I have, so I don't. *g*
Nine Moments in the Life of an Artist by Amy
Delicate fic where Polyhymnia O'Keefe meets Emily Gregory (the blind pianist of The Young Unicorns) and they hit it off. Just -- pitch-perfect characterizations and a first person narration that really works for me. It reads like L'Engle to me, if, you know, L'Engle were writing tasteful girlslash.

Lucifer
Set Asunder by Nifra Idril
Lucifer fic! Lucifer/Michael, to be exact, before the world began, and they were the only two, equal, the force and means by which god created the universe. And they loved. And Nifra tells their story here. Beautiful. (and you should all follow her example and write more Lucifer fic.)

SportsNight
Respice Finem by scrunchy
Absolutely awe-inspiring. Subtitled "Look to the end: 12 Latin Phrases That Aren't Quo Vadimus aka, Some Ways It Didn't End," Scrunchy dreams up twelve different ways SportsNight could have ended, but didn't, each one of them as true as the actual ending (truer in a couple cases, imo). All the main players are here, in various groups and combinations - some of these are sad ((Spero Melior made me sniffle) some are happy (Ecce Homo made me squee like a little fangirl), some are just *true* (Disjecta Membra feels *right*), and one is absolutely gut-wrenching (Pro Memoria gave me chills).
Go. Read. And praise Scrunchy with great praise, for her tang is top notch.
