Summary: It's sunny out. Hiro had almost forgotten what that was like.
Why: Although parts of this have been made impossible by events later in the season, I stil really liked this and the way it all fits together. It's a compelling look at what the future might have been like and a good lead-in to that fateful meeting between Peter and future!Hiro.

What You Wish For by Cerebel (R)

Pairings/Characters: Matt Parkman, Mohinder/Sylar
Rating: R

Spoilers for: through Five Years Gone
Author: Cerebel
Website: Cerebel's Fic at Livejournal
Summary: Matt Parkman realizes, finally, who's in the Oval Office.
Why: Finding this was like finding a piece of lost canon. This story brilliantly fills in all the gaps that we see in the future world, most notably the big one of how Parkman and Mohinder didn't notice who they were taking orders from. I especially like that it explains Parkman's actions in this episode, as I'm quite fond of him. Cerebel gives him plausible motivations and keeps him as that character that I like so much without changing a single action that he takes. As far as I'm concerned, this is it. This is how things must have happened.

The Echizen Effect by Mousapelli (PG-13)

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Pairings/Characters: Inui/Kaidou
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,600
Spoilers for: end of the anime
Author: Mousapelli
Website: The Rat Box
Summary: Things are different without Echizen, only, you know, not really.
Why: This is so what would have happened if the end of the anime hadn't been, you know, the end. Mousapelli does a great job with all the characters and all the interactions between them in this story. Framing the story in Inui's point of view works brilliantly. There are also some really great lines in here, ranging from the humorous to the poetic. The end result is your average Mousapelli fic: funny, brilliantly characterized, and altogether enjoyable.
