Summary: Will works on having a life, after it all.
Why: The first thing that caught me about this story was the style of writing. It's lovely and does a wonderful job of just drawing you in. The second was the emotions. The author does a great job of conveying the confusion of growing up and the power of the connection between Will and Bran. She also highlights a part of Bran's character that sometimes gets overlooked: the fact that he's still the son of Arthur and Guinevere and that means that even if he doesn't remember, he still has power.

Easy Way Out by shrift (Matt/Mohinder | PG-13)

Fandom: Heroes
Pairings/Characters: Matt/Mohinder, Molly
Rating: PG-13

Website: shrift's fan fiction
Summary: "Cop shoots himself in the foot: local news at 11."
Why: I love the way this story deals with the relationship between Matt and Mohinder and the difficulties of being Matt Parkman who is maybe attracted to Mohinder Suresh. This is definitely the Matt that I love from the series. And the way the author uses descriptions and little details to flesh out the story only makes it feel more real.
