First of all, What Really Happened (OR, How Aziraphale Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Loving the Fandom) by
violet_quill. Don't tell me you thought LJ's downtime was a coincidence? Violet will convince you otherwise. *g* Crowley and Aziraphale...discuss certain things about the internet, with some cameos from
copperbadge,
daily_snitch, and more.
And! Give and Hazard by
ariastar. It's Merchant of Venice fic! Shakespeare!
marauderthesn, you especially need to read it--it's Bassanio/Antonio!
Everyone, go tell
violet_quill and
ariastar how brilliant they are.
ETA: And for Final Fantasy VII fans, Sunshine in Winter. It's just...Oh my God. Oh my God. You know, however much I love the HP fandom, it's always somehow FFVII that gives me my favorite fics, and this one has just automatically made it into the number two slot (note that number one is also a FFVII fic). This is just beautiful, and tragic, and so, so passionate, and just oh my God. If you're a fan of Yuffie and a fan of Vincent, you have to read this story. You just have to.
...Oh my God.
