SERIOUS
Papercranes by Deirdre - Blair/Jim - I love this one for the dialogues. It's been on my favorite SenSlashStory list ever since the first time I read it.
First Contact by Ruth Devero - Chakotay/Paris - Because they don't have sex right away. Okay, I know that sounds a bit weird, but that's why I like it. That, and because it seems more real than most of those stories. It's also kind of fun to guess whether or not it's Chakotay or Tom who will cause a rebellion. ;D
Going Deep by AnneZo - Mac/Victor - Mac and Vic goes undercover as a gay couple. Old plot, I know, but this one is actually both funny and a tad angsty. Vic's POV. -:ponders:- Y'know, seems to me that most Once a Thief stories are from Vic's POV. Wonder why..
Men at Some Time by Sylvia is an even better Once a Thief story - Again from Vic's POV. It's got a certain dreamlike quality to it which I like, and Mac's reactions are exactly how they should be. Oh and this one's got a gay club also. -:mutters to self:- What is it with Once a Thief and gay clubs?
Betrayal by Valerie Jones - not slash - It's about Remy LeBeau, the Witness and Rem'aillion Neramani. All those three are the same, and yet they are not. This is one of those stories you should read if you're interested in time travelling, time paradoxes and Remy LeBeau. Or just if you enjoy good writing. When you're done reading Betrayal, you can go read the Two Thieves series which is a collaboration between Valerie and Lori McDonald. The story Thick as Thieves is a top ten comic fanfic favorite of mine.
My Man Jeeves by Sue - Jeeves/Wooster - Heh. Now, see, this one made me grin. Evilly even. It's short and written in a Wodehouse-esk manner.
The Louder the Song by Varoneeka - Picard/Q - It's a bit boring in the beginning - The Enterprise is about to get blown up and Picard with it, so Q pops by and strikes a deal with him - but it gets better, and more gut wrenching in the end. It's worth the read if you're an angst fan like me.
A Good Time by De Orakle - Jonathan/Rick - A short (12 kb) story I like mostly because it mirrors my thoughts after seeing the Mummy almost to a T.

Twentieth Century Boy by ZorroRojo - Chakotay/Paris, Duncan/Methos - I'm normally not too fond of X-Overs because they make less than no sense to me, but I liked this one. It's Star Trek: Voyager crossed with the Highlander and the X-Files, and despite how.. less than encuraging that sounds, this story is good. And more importantly, it makes sense.

Dress for Success by Alyjude - Blair/Jim - An old lover of Jim's show up, determinded to get Jim back. There's just one thing he hasn't accounted with; Blair. It'll make you smile.
Closed for Business by Alyjude - Blair/Jim - 'Question: How do you face your roommate after you've discovered you're a closed candy store and he's a closed ice cream store and you really, really, really want to try his Rockey Road?' Need I say more? ;)
Lost in Translation by Helen - Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan - Extremly funny with great dialogue and characterization. Helen is one of my favorite fanfic writers and sooner or later I presume I'll end up recommending a good 90 per cent of her work.
"Six down, eight to go," Obi-Wan said and fell heavily onto the couch.
"They're banquets," Qui-Gon said mildly, "so perhaps it's unnecessary to act as though someone's attempting to separate your fingernails from your body." But he sat down with relief as well, leaning his head against the back of the chair.
"It wouldn't be so bad, if someone," Obi-Wan said pointedly, "hadn't managed to convince the chancellor of my deep and abiding love for stewed ocalla."
"No more than you richly deserve, Obi-Wan, for informing the chancellor that my favorite color is lavender."
Phoenix Rising: Part IV: E-Mail by Imajiru - Jason/Chris - I enjoy this one. Muchly. -:grins:- I have only a vague idea of who the characters are, but I don't give a damn. It makes me laugh, so there! It's part 4 in a series (the rest of the series is pretty good too) and it's written in the style of e-mails written from one of the AU Gatchamen to another.
-
1) Dishes are not to be used as frisbees. This tends to
run up our operating budget, and upsets the housekeeping
staff.
2) Anybody who insists on walking around in his underwear
is expected to change said underwear at least once every
other day.
3) If the ambient music level is not kept to a dull roar,
I shall install a decibel meter in each of your rooms and
link it to the sprinkler system. The next ones who decide
to play 'dueling stereos' will be shot.
4) There is to be at least one cup of coffee in the
coffeemaker when I wake up, and there is to be at least one
clean coffee mug; and if the above conditions do not apply,
MAKE SOME and WASH ONE before you wake me up to tell me
that you're broke and need money.
5) Each of you have your own phone, and your own modem
line, and there is a pay phone in the kitchen. There is no
reason why anyone should ever have to use my cellphone.
Ever.
6) Particularly not to call Tamiko's House Of Geisha Phone
Sex in Okinawa.
7) The same goes for my credit card, damn it. As of the
last budget increase and series of pay raises, each of you
earns more than I do. Spend your own money, please, and
leave mine alone. The next time someone charges concert
tickets to my Visa, I am going to the concert. Even if it
is Squirrel Jam.
8) And last but not least, I encourage you all to note the
article on page four of today's newspaper, on last night's
riot and arrests at the Fairgrounds. I have highlighted
the text which details the statistics regarding the number
of disturbances reported at the Fairgrounds to date. Be
advised that no matter how much you beg, no matter how much
you plead, none of you are going to 'hang out' at the
Fairgrounds, and that is final. Sorry.
Creaming by Amirin - Casey/Dan - This is the third story in a series of short Sports Night stories. It's also the one I think is the most enjoyable of the series. It actually made me laugh out loud and I giggled for a while after finishing it. You'll like it, trust me. ;)
