Supernatural

Coming Up Short by kellifer_fic
At Halloween, the Winchesters are regressed back to little boys physically, but retain their adult brains. Hilarity ensues.

Dating for Dummies by sevenfists
"Oh my God," Sam said, the horrible truth dawning on him at last. "Oh my God, Dean, do you think we're dating?" Hilariously adorable. Obliviously, unnecessarily chivalrous Dean for the win! (wincest)

Dress your family in amulets and denim by monkeycrackmary
Winchesters, Sedaris-style. Perfect, hilarious, and heartbreaking.

Getting to Know You by meredevachon
A really nice look at John and Ellen's first meeting.

Her Tracks Are On the Land by cofax7
Fantastic story of Mary's little sister, who never gives up searching for her nephews, even after what she learns about them should give her pause. Evocative and well done.

I Am the Very Model... by vorpalblades
Hee! Sam might not want the job, but the demons need a leader. Hilarious.

Kiss Me, Son of God by bellatemple
Sam switches shampoo and suddenly everyone around him is treating him like royalty. These two things may or may not be related. Sam has a new power ...thingy, there are Star Wars metaphors, and Bela is Bela. Hilarious.

Like a wheel by ms_jvh_shuh
The Impala helps Sam rescue Dean from hell. *heart*

the quaint tragedies we invent by winter_baby
there is no girl, no cautionary tale, just two men who make the same mistakes over and over. Dark, harsh and sad. Oh, boys.

Raising the Dead by Numbers by estei
AU, sort of, in which Sam drops out of Stanford. Sort of. Sad and creepy and hurty. Oh, Dean. Oh, boys.

Strange's Country by concernedlily
Long, smart, utterly engrossing story of how Sam saves Dean from hell. Has a Gaiman-esque feel to it, and is apparently a crossover with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but I haven't read that and didn't really feel the lack. Could stand to have Britishisms weeded out, but overall a fabulous story.

The Wake Up Call by luzdeestrellas
Warm and schmoopy first time fic wherein Sam starts crawling into bed with Dean and Dean's resistance eventually crumbles. (wincest)

What Comfort It Brings by nutkin
Dean has the kind of hands that are skilled and slow, that can string out pleasure and rebuild an engine. He thinks with his hands, understands things by taking them apart and putting them back together. He knows how to reach into the heart of something and leave it a little better for having known him. Slow, melancholy, beautiful exploration of Sam holding onto Dean every way he can. (Wincest)

What to Expect When Your Impala's Expecting by epeeblade
"Dude, I think the Impala's knocked-up." Hilarious and adorable.

Tradition! by bellatemple
the Winchesters' Christmas season, which mostly consists of laying low, going after angry spirits that like to force or frighten poor, unsuspecting misers into showing their Christmas spirit, and buying rocksalt in bulk. Hilarious!

Battlestar Galactica

And So I Woke by sloansomething
"I dreamed I was dead," she says, her voice muffled. "Yeah," he says, and swings his legs up. "I get that, too." "I didn't want to be dead," she says like a child, on the verge of tears. haunting and heartbreaking AU.

Fool's Gold by widget285
Long, engrossing, heartbreaking story of Kara's year on New Caprica, which starts out full of hope and is slowly mired in despair when Kara realizes she can't escape herself. (Some beta comments were left in one section, which was distracting, but overall this is totally worth reading.)

the pilot bride by bantha_fodder
Princess Bride mashups never get old. Featuring Lee as Buttercup, Kara as Westley, and Roslin as Vizzini. Hilarious.

Stages of Being by widget285
Fantastic look at Kara from childhood through the middle of season 2.

Twilight Saints by anonymous_sibyl
There are no constants in her world, nothing she can stand on, breathe easy, gain her footing, so she manufactures three and rests on them. She's named them hooch, flight, and the lie. Kara, and Lee, after Razor.

Gilmore Girls

Suggestions (And Mallomars) by mosca
"You're going to make me face the Yale Lesbian Mafia alone?" Paris says. / "I'm sorry. I tried. But a vegan bake sale? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of baked goods?" Adorably awkward Paris/Rory, with a note-perfect Rory-voice.

Sports Night

Hangin' on the Telephone by laylee
"Don't beat yourself up for living your life, Casey. It's the only life you've got so you might as well enjoy it while it's there." Casey takes a new job, and spends a lot of time on the phone with Isaac, who is awesome. Lovely.

Pirates of the Caribbean

The Thing About Pirates by penknife
Elizabeth contemplates the things a Pirate king will or won't do. With Jack. With Anamaria. With Jack and Anamaria. Lovely.

Buffy

Gemini by only_passenger
Fantastic, lyrical, mythical Buffy/Faith story, set during s3. As if the answers about them can be reduced to the measurements of a wound.

Long Winter's Nap by RabidX
Adorable post-Chosen Xander/Oz. Somehow, he'd always expected to run into Oz again. He just thought it would be someplace exotic like Carnival in Brazil, some dim tea house in Shanghai or even on a rickety stage in the East Village.
