Title: Followed You to the Underworld
Fandom: Kodomo no Jikan
Author: Ma Chat
Rating: K+
Length: 896
Characters/Pairings: Kuro, Rin
Warnings/Notes: Quasi-yuri-lolicon, as much as there is in canon. Slight dark themes.
Author's Summary: The prettiest dolls are the broken ones.

Why This Is A Rec: That's right. KnJ fic. And it's surprisingly in-character and interesting, studying the relationship between Kuro and Rin. A lovely dark ficlet.

Title: But Why?
Fandom: Artemis Fowl
Author: the black knight
Rating: K+
Length: 1,294
Characters/Pairings: Holly, Root, Sool
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for Holly's backstory. Set before and after first book.
Author's Summary: Many have asked Holly why she became a LEP officer, and she has given them all the same answer. But hearing is not understanding.

Why This Is A Rec: It's hard to find good Holly-centric fic that doesn't turn her into a weeping damsel in distress that needs to be saved. This is our Holly, who never needs to be saved; all she needs are answers. The interactions betwen Holly and Root --- butting heads stubbornly while still remaining fiercely loyal to one another --- as well as the wonderful insight into Holly's character are what truly makes this story.

But Why?

Yes, two recs in one day. I guess I'm generous that way ♥

Characters/Pairings: The Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes: No spoilers for any Big Finish audios.
Author's Summary: All Evelyn wants is to take a nice, relaxing walk in the park.

Why This Is A Rec: This was just one of the many stellar works written for thesixthdoctor's ficathon last year. And it's so much fun. The ending line always puts a big goofy grin on my face.

Author's Summary: You've seen the movie. Now read the anime.

Why This Is A Rec: This isn't your mother's comedy cop movie turned AU fanfic. In which there is a young man named Nick -- err, Nikorasu -- who joins up with a group of shinsengumi, who happen to be bears. Enjoy.

Title: Little Girls Are Made Of
Fandom: Doctor Who
Author: nostalgia
Rating: All Ages
Length: 105
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith
Warnings/Notes: Vague spoilers for School Reunion.
Author's Summary: It’s not because she never met anyone.

Why This Is A Rec: For a drabble, it's got one hell of a bite. A look at Sarah Jane and why she's still alone. If this doesn't turn out to be the canon reason why she's single, I'll be shocked.

Why This Is A Rec: I haven't read that many Psych fics, but it's one of the best I've read so far. Everything reads like it could have come from the show.

Author's Summary: Alice and Bella share a quiet moment together in the hotel in Phoenix Twilight . Alice/Bella, Bella/Alice, femslash
