Sam/Dean
Part of the Reaper verse this is a wonderfully angsty story told from Sam's POV.

Powerful coda to Hunted - the last line is a killer.

Sam/Dean
In many ways this is cliche fic (Sam and Dean have to sleep with each other in order to break a Mayan spell which has bought forth murderous shadow demons) but it is so strongly characterised that its very easy to overlook the slightly hackneyed plot device. A very strong debut in the SPN fandom.
Torchwood

Really strong post Cyberwoman tale told from Ianto's pov. The author really sells Ianto's distress and disorientated mental state following Lisa's death - his calmly telling Jack that he should kill him in the bathroom as it would be easier to clean up is like a kick to the gut.

Jack/Ianto
Seven unrelated drabbles detailing Jack's return to Torchwood following the events of End of Days. 1 and III are gut wrenching, II is quite disturbing (and I would love to see it in a longer fic) and V is just plain silly. Something for everyone!

Date: 2007-01-16 09:48 am (UTC)I do like Torchwood (mostly because the characterisation on screen was so dismal its a fun world for the fic writers to play in and try and make sense of the inconsistencies)but I think you'll find I've now pretty much recced ALL the decent Torchwood fic out there right now! It seems to be a fairly young fandom (people only seem to have been inspired to write when the show started picking up towards the end)and there are only about 6/7 writers worth reading of which the best is probably Misslucyjane who seems to have a real grasp on the Jack/Ianto relationship.
