First Few Desperate Hours by [livejournal.com profile] bravenewcentury (FMA)
Roy/Riza, Team Mustang; R; Set after chapter 62; 5556 words
Summary: Isolation breeds anxiety, and some rather rash decisions.

Lovely story; there's such an intensity to it, a tension created just by having those two forced apart. I love how bravenewcentury writes Roy and Riza - in an understated way where a small gesture or line conveys a lot of feeling. And that's just what makes their relationship so intriguing for me in the first place.

btw, I'm staying totally spoiler-free for FMA. I've already taken all the comms off my filter until next week, and I'll stay off LJ entirely once the last chapter hits the shelves. Please don't mention anything about 108 to me, no rumors, no emotional reactions... (even a :) or :/ can tell too much). I promise I'll do likewise.

Coping Mechanisms by [personal profile] sholio (SGA)
McKay/Keller, Teyla/Kanaan, Ronon/Amelia; Rating: "PG-13? R? Very little actual sex is being had, but there's a whole lot of talking about it"; 3300 words
Summary: There's not much else to do while they're all stuck off the coast of San Francisco.

I'm still smiling just thinking about this story. It's funny and warm. And cute. And did I mention funny. And amidst it all, there are many of these lovely character moments that friendshipper does so well.

The Good Guys by [to be revealed] (SGA)
This fic comes with a poster (I hope it's okay if I snag a preview pic with my rec... it's a fitting visual representation of this story and a pic says more than words. :)

AU; gen; PG-13; team + Cadman 5,714 words
Summary: They're the good guys. Don't get on their bad side.
SGA, Leverage style. Now, I've never watched Leverage but after reading this fic I put that show on my must-check-out list because I much enjoyed the setting and the character dynamics. It's cool to see the team meet in a completely different setting. The chemistry is great, the backstories intriguing (and Cadman makes a great addition to their group).
