This Year's Prom Theme by Dawn M. Pares

The prom queen decides to go out with Casey (perhaps because he's now a big time anchor on Sports Night). Dan, the other big-time anchor on Sports Night, has to talk to his therapist about it. I'm not quite sure what I like so much about this story. Like a lot of helen's stories, it's as much about what the characters don't and can't say as the actual dialogue. It is also, coincidentally, brand spanking new.

Lost in Translation by helen

This is a Phantom Menace story in which Qui-Gon is turned into a pleasure slave and then there are consequences. But not the ones you're thinking of. At least, not right away.

Rapture by Wombat

A marvelous Mulder/Methos novel, in which the FBI learns more about Immortals and Krycek dreams about gafiating (or at least getting away from Mulder) but just ends up wrecking some anonymous kid's birthday party.

Hell by Jedimom

This is a non-canon Sith Academy story, and it's incredibly sweet and angsty. It's also the beginning of a wonderful series, a serious Maul/Obi-Wan affair. You can contact Jedimom if you want to read the rest of it. Here's a clue to underage readers: if you ignore the age warnings, don't let people know.

Reality Check by Francesca

This J/B Sentinel story is a sequel to Dream Sequence but is, I think, the better story. It is gently humorous as well as touching, and the reason I cannot ask, "Would you like some tea?" without cracking up.

Dust and Ashes by Aiobheann

A short Farscape/Sandman crossover involving the John/D'Argo pairing. The imagery throughout this peace is lovely. The plot concerns ... well, it takes John quite some time to figure out what's going on, so I won't spoil it for you. This occurs sometime between Family Ties and the as yet unaired RE:Union.

Out of the Dark by Kassandra

This is a long X-Files novel (the link is to part 1 of the HTML version). Mulder gets introduced to the BDSM lifestyle. Then he gets subsumed by it. Then Skinner has to rescue him. It's a love story, and it also has some very nice sex scenes.
