Story: fresh as hell-o By:raedear Fandom: The Old Guard Rating: Gen Warnings: None apply Pairing(s): Joe/Nicky Status: Complete Length: 5,840 words
Author Summary: Joe has a crush on his Hello Fresh delivery person. Nicky just wants Joe to have an actually edible meal for once, even if he has to make it himself.
Other: AU with no immortality, a 'meet-cute' that's totally fun, engaging and humorous. As the author says, domestic fluff -- but very good domestic fluff.
Story: the man and his moon By:fonulyn Fandom: The Old Guard Rating: Gen Warnings: None apply Pairing(s): Nicky/Joe Status: Complete Length: 1,200 words
Author Summary: Carefully Nicky reaches out and places a hand on Joe’s shoulder, ready to pull back if Joe gives even the barest hint of not wanting to be touched right now. But instead of pulling back Joe seems to lean into the contact, be drawn into it, and Nicky takes the hint immediately. He scoots closer, wraps an arm around Joe’s waist, and when Joe practically collapses against him he catches him easily.
Other: "Nicky takes care of Joe after a nightmare." That's it, the whole story -- but it's totally quiet and sweet and comforting and well-told.
Story: The Magnetic Series By:energie_vie Fandom: The Old Guard Rating: G to M Warnings: None apply Pairing(s): Booker & Nile (friendship moving toward relationship) Status: Complete Length: 12 stories, 35,300 words
Author Summary: None for the series. The first story summary is: "Nile has her own nickname for Booker, but she only uses it in her head. Until she slips." And I'll add, "...which starts their feelings moving in a new direction."
Other: A delightful series of stories with Nile and Booker slowly moving toward a more intimate relationship -- Nile unsure about whether or not they should, but she can't resist, and Booker convinced that he's not worthy. Energie_Vie does a good job with their interactions being lighthearted and sweet without being sappy.
Author Summary: Their suspect is holed up at a campground. What else can they do?
Other: Many of Emerald's stories take a "rose-colored-glasses" approach -- Tony and Tim are both competent agents, are friends, and work well together, with Gibbs (and sometimes Fornell) as the stern-but-fair mentor. This story fits that niche, with some humor, some angst, some h/c, and an "all-is-well" ending.
Story: Three Hundred and Sixty-Four By:sardonicsmiley Fandom: Stargate Atlantis Rating: Mature Warnings: None apply Pairing(s): Ronon Dex/Rodney McKay and Teyla Emmagan/Evan Lorne Status: Complete Length: 25,600 words
Author Summary: This is not the solution that Ronon would have chosen for dealing with the IOA.
Other: A wonderful slow slide from marriage of convenience through familiarity to love, full of rich details as each man learns more about the other.
Story: Playing the Odds By:Sholio Fandom: Mrs. Pollifax - Dorothy Gillman Rating: Teen Warnings: None apply Pairing(s): John Farrell & Mrs. Pollifax (friendship) Status: Complete Length: 3,150 words
Author Summary: Tag scene after the main action in The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax. She promised to visit him in the hospital, and Emily Pollifax always keeps her promises.
Other: This is absolutely spot-on in characterization and tone; it should have been the epilogue to the original novel. I can't even pick a favorite part; it's simply perfect, and I grinned the whole way through as I read it.
