Sports Night

The Offside Rule by Laura
This is my favorite kind of Sports Night story - Casey realizes how awesome Dan is, and Dan gives great monologue on why soccer sucks. Plus there is pining and kissing and a 'your face' joke. Adorable.

Futurama

Just Desserts by Mercurie
Space ninjas! Leela being awesome! Bender being Bender! Hee!

The Princess Bride

A Duplicity of Pirates by isabeau
Adorable story in which Inigo comes back to Florin to help Westley solve a problem. I especially liked Fezzik's cameo.

Ocean's Eleven

Diamonds Are Forever by smilebackwards
Approximately three hours after disappearing, Rusty handed back the jewels like they'd come out of a gumball machine and not a state-of-the-art titanium safe. Although, when Danny thinks back on it, it isn't a particularly apt analogy. Rusty would probably have been far more reluctant to part with something that came out of a gumball machine. Fun, in character take on how Rusty and Danny met. Hee!

These Vagabond Shoes by angelgazing
Danny finds his way back to Rusty, post-O13. Lovely.

Devil's Cub

The Cub's First Cub by athousandwinds
Utterly adorable story of Vidal waiting for his and Mary's first child to be born. Gets the voices just right. I am so happy someone wrote this, because this was my original assignment and I didn't get a chance to write it, and now I don't have to.

Ladyhawke

Faith by Eris
Achy and full of gorgeous imagery, and Isabeau's longing and strength. And when hawk forgets everything of silks and perfumes and of mirrors, she still knows the way to his wrist. Isabeau, too, is a compass.

Persuasion

Paper Sails by mjules
Beautifully poignant look at Captain Wentworth before he comes back into Anne's life. Lovely imagery.

The Princess Bride

There Will Be No Survivors (Except for the Survivors Behind the Curtain, But Pay No Attention to Them) by knightshade
Adorable explanation of the "no survivors" part of the Dread Pirate Roberts' reputation. Hilarious and gets the voices spot-on.

Swordspoint

At the Pommel by Kate
I really enjoyed this story of Alec and Richard's first meeting, and also their conversation post-Privilege of the Sword.

Compass and Knife by Brigdh
I liked this a lot - the sumptuousness of the descriptions, tastes and sounds and smells, and Alec's attempts to describe the ocean, and then the sharpness of the ending, Alec still Alec - and Richard still Richard - even on new shores.
