The Dateless Wonders by cinnamon badge

A Harry Potter fic

"While Fred and Angelina fling themselves around the dance floor at the Yule Ball, George Weasley finds himself lonely and bored. Then he notices that he's not the only person there without a date."


This story is painfully cute. This is one of those pairings that has to be handled delicately or I feel that it just doesn't work, but the author handled that beautifully.

A Harry Potter fanfic

"She supposed that she had never really thought about it much before that day – the day she saw him again, standing in the rain outside her door dripping and gorgeous, like a vision out of a hazy past..."


There are some grammar issues with this one. Commas, apostrophes, compound words split when they shouldn't be. And Percy would have been a fifth year when Hermione started Hogwarts, not a sixth year. But other than that, this story is wonderful. Very plausible and neatly weaved into canon so nothing is exactly amiss.

Possibilities by Pearle

A Harry Potter fic

"Wars make strange bedfellows, but there are many ways to enjoy yourself if you’re open to the possibilities."

Pretty much just Porn without Plot. it is cute though to see Remus as a liberated male that grew up in the sixties, prancing about nude in the bathroom. If you buy that as in character, then the other two are also perfect. Even though it was high on smut and low on plot, I liked it.

The Plan by polgara

BTVS/Firefly crossover

"Buffy has her eyes set on something she wants and she has a plan on how to get it. One that requires Jayne’s help. But is he willing to risk death to help her? "

Very nice. Not a lot of backstory, but it really isn't needed. Just a tiny little snippet of what feels like it could have been a longer story. Voices weren't perfectly spot on (Wash felt a bit off) but good anyway.

A BTVS/Firefly story

"Jayne gets into a weapon-comparing contest with Serenity's newest passenger."

A bit random, but cute if you like the genre.

Finding Home by Sweetdoggie

A Buffy/Firefly fic

"Buffy, immortal from Willow's resurrection spell, meets the Firefly crew 500 years in the future."

Convincing characters, very well written. It made me smile, and the end was bittersweet, because nothing really ends happily ever after.

Deep Secrets by *unicorn-skydancer08

A Tinkerbell fic

"There was an old saying, that love was the very best thing that could ever happen to someone…and the very worst. Bobble, otherwise known as Phineas T. Kettletree, Esquire, could honestly say that certainly applied to him. In the tinker fairy's own words, love was as sweet as the first spring rose, yet as sharp as the bitter sting of an angry bee."

Very sweet. I'd write more, but I have a cast on my arm.
