Gilmore Girls
Stories to Pass the Time by poisontaster
I've totally broken up with Gilmore Girls, and I'm totally OTP about Luke/Lorelai, so it was with skepticism that I clicked on this link, because Lorelai/Dean? But aside from being exceptionally hot, this story *nails* some essential truths about Lorelai. I don't know that Dean is actually this perceptive, but damn, the story works.

Grey's Anatomy
line of defense by honey_wheeler
AU. Denny and Izzie spend their first night in their new house, but things don't go the way Izzie planned. Sigh. Wonderful.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Most Wonderful Time by amanuensis1
They formed a friendship afterward, which most of the inhabitants of Christmas Town thought odd in the extreme, while the denizens of Halloween Town didn't know what to think at all. Aw, a glimpse of the friendship between Santa and Jack Skellington.

Rome
Grasping by aphrodite_mine
"There's an overwhelming sense that I must be punished for what I've done, for deceiving you, for our part in what's happened..." Lovely and sad, and true to both of them as they appear on the show. (Octavia/Octavian)

Star Wars
Provided the Cuffs and Collars Match by David Hines
Han really wants to know what Leia looked like in that slavegirl bikini. A little hot and a lot of awesome.

Rome
semper hic erro by Bastet
Beautifully in character Vorenus/Pullo - the banter, the exasperation, the edges of pain, and most of all, the love! SO MUCH LOVE for them, and they have so much love for each other, and this story is all about that.

can nature change the seasons of the years by smartlikejustin
Delicate, evocative, poignant look at Octavian's relationship with Octavia over the years.

Batman

Trespassing by azurine
Dick seeks comfort from Bruce after a nightmare. I thought this was one of the creepiest things I’ve ever read, even though there’s nothing overtly *wrong* happening, it feels like it could slip over the edge into bad wrongness of the bad kind at any moment.

Buffy

Some Trot About by glossing
Funny, sweet, sad and hot. Devon and Oz hear about Sunnydale, and perform their mourning ritual.

Veronica Mars/BtVS

Three Hours to Sunrise by hjdevnull
Well done VMars/BtVS crossover - Veronica is snatched by vamps and Wallace helps a stranger named Faith get her back.

***

Constantine (movie)
A Distant Mirror by Maygra
Constantine seeks out Gabriel, both of them caught between heaven and hell. Hot and sad, with the sharp ring of truth.

Good Omens

A Local Habitation by irisbleu and linnpuzzle
The history of Crowley and Aziraphale, by way of St. James Park. Funny, sweet, understated and touching. The art is gorgeous.

Ocean's 11

Walk Like a Camel by kiki_miserychic
Gently, wryly absurd story of Rusty's quest for funnel cake and the unexpected places it lands him and Danny. Some minor grammatical nits but the voices are so perfect and the story's so funny they're not worth worrying about.

Rome

Veritas by Miss Pamela
Lovely, in-character conversation between Pullo and Vorenus about love and loyalty.

West Wing

Loophole by Speranza
Eeee! Speranza's writing Josh/Donna! Loopy, early seasons, Josh goes down on Donna for no discernible reason fic that explores the weird nearly non-existent boundaries of their relationship. Funny and hot and sweet.
