We Did Not Make Ourselves is Ripley/Call, Alien Resurrection, PG-13. I love this pairing and it's so incredibly rare, this was a wonderful treat. Especially since this fic really nails Ripley and Call. I just wish there were hundreds more pages of it.

There's Revolution is Middleman, Lacey/Wendy, PG-13. I miss this show. Also, I read this initially because thrace_rec'ed it and she's never wrong.

lighting the fuse might result in a bang is Bend It Like Beckham, Jules/Jess.

Real Good Place is How I Met Your Mother and it's really a character study of Robin. Hilarous! This was a wizened_cynic rec...with no pr0n! What is wrong with the universe?!!

Breathing Underwater is Blue Crush, Ann Marie/Eden. An escritoireazul rec and it's a fantastic one. That's how it is when they're alone. Eden keeps a space between them - just a few feet of salty air or water. It's a habit developed over years. It reminds her where she ends and where Anne Marie begins.

Did anyone else see The Closer tonight? Unfuckingbelievably good! Just when all of my fav female-centric dramas are circling the drain (In Plain Sight has managed to castrate once-kickass!Mary in just two eps, Saving Grace is just too Xtian for me), The Closer frickin' Delivers. No, there's no femslash, but DAMN!

As for the rest of my femslash universe...I've been very, very sick involving hospital time, etc. I even missed IDF, which...is just so very, very wrong. I'd rather miss Xmas and New Year's and I'll throw in that other holiday, Easter, or maybe Groundhog Day. I do know that it produced some knockout fic which I'll get around to reading and rec'ing at some point.

I have a few more recs from femslash08, but really, I've yet to read a fic from that con that isn't rec-worthy. Srsly.

jengrrrl's Hope for the Hopeless, South of Nowhere, Spencer/Ashley, Mature is astonishing and right. Ashley's gone through rehab, but Spencer still doesn't trust her. This is very much Ashley's fic and the voice is spot on.

liz_estrada'z Never the Twain Shall Meet is a Buffyverse AU, Faith/Cordelia, Mature. No one gets Faith quite like liz_estrada. She's one of my fav Faith writers and this fic, even though it's Cordelia's POV, doesn't disappoint. Cordelia's father moves them to Boston where she meets bad girl Faith.

Rekindling by shelled_avenger is Harry Potter, Luna/Tonks, Mature and it's a lovely post-war story.

Love is a Painful Thing (The Second Best Mix)escritoireazul is a collection of 'second best' pairings from a variety of fandoms including Faith/Dawn (second best to Faith/Buffy), Blue Crush (Eden/Lena instead of Eden/Anne Marie) and a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants/She's the Man crossover that hits my soccer kink. This is an extraordinary fic on so many levels. Great writing and characterization and really, the Faith/Dawn would have been more than enough for me, the rest were a wonderful bonus. Extraordinary fic.

Like I said, I'm still making my way through these and everything's rec'able, so enjoy!
