• Admitted crackfic by maddie508 , I Kissed a Girl is a pretty damn hilarious take on what might happen if Jenna decided to get her ratings up with the lesbian audience.
• Two Liz/Gretchen gems: First That Hot Girl by ijemanja , where Liz calls up Gretchen just to make sure she's still got "it," and Hypothetically by geonncannon , where its Christmas, and Liz is worried about choking and oh yeah. There's sex.

ALIAS

• Sydney/Rachel: A wonderful peek post-series brought to you by jaina47 , A Day's Grace, with action and a hint of bittersweet sexuality, and some fluff by kangeiko , Icebreaker, from femslash07 .
• Sydney/Nadia: The first part of this post is Five time Nadia had less-than-sisterly thoughts about her sister, and my friends, it's worth checking out. Again, by kangeiko .
• And the high roller, Sydney/Lauren: Boy, femslash04 was killer, eh? Before I was even "involved" in fandom, I had these fics printed out and in binders so that I could read them in school. Oh yeah, I was hardcore. We've got The Art of Driving by yalena78 , who brings us Lauren and Sydney confronted with the past of Julia Thorne. And how about Another Girl's Paradise by coffeeandink ? It's Julia/Not-Sydney and Lauren, desperate for anything - a connection - and sex, definitely that. Then if you're like me and you get breathless over masterful use of fragments and parenthesis, you can't possibly afford to miss Stasis by katjanka . It's brutal and sexy and... I don't think I have the words to do it justice, honestly. Then there's another fic from off-lj that I've enjoyed: Tense and Skin by Vanzetti. Lauren and Sydney moving in their constant dance around Michael...

BIG LOVE

• Since this fandom is still relatively small, I'd say its hard to find excellent fiction for it, especially femslash. However, jengrrrl 's The human heart in conflict with itself (Sarah/Heather) is probably the best of that pairing, from what I've read. It takes careful consideration with the canon and weaves fiction throughout it.
• As for other pairings, I'd suggest Temptations and Sins (Nicki/Sarah) by femmequixotic . Aside from the fact that this was written for me for Yuletide last year, its absolutely STUNNING. The incorporation of biblical images and verses bowled me over.

DEGRASSI (JUNIOR HIGH & THE NEXT GENERATION)

• I've found it nearly impossible to find Classic Degrassi femslash, but takemeback wrote this great little Heather/Erika piece, Caged, Free (You and Me). It's obviously carefully researched and probably one of the rarest of pairings ever.
• As the moderator of dtngfemslash, I see a lot of great stuff come through, with an incredible variety of pairings. These two, Fences by texaswatermelon (Darcy/Paige) and Doll Parts by brighteyedcat (Ellie/Paige) made it to my recs page: Check them out. The beauty of these stories is that you don't have to ship these to enjoy them. The writers bring you along for the ride and convince you along the way.
• Of course, I would never be into Degrassi femslash at all if I hadn't read my first story, phaballa 's Good Girls Don't (Paige/Alex): a pinch hit that became Alex pondering all things Paige Michaelchuck.

HOUSE, MD

LEVERAGE

• This fandom is still relatively new, but it's awesome that femslash is already being written. Good femslash at that! So far, I've got Sleight of Hand by geonncannon , Sisters Are Doin' it For Themselves by lyssie and Games of Motion and Stillness by erimthar . All three of these stories feature spot-on dialogue, aspects of the show, such as adventure or missions, and sexual tension that brilliantly ignores the canon "couplings." Write on, friends!

THE OFFICE
(IN A FUTURE POST)

RPFS

• Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez: I'm going to go ahead and say it. The best of this fandom is Evolution, by tamaraface . The story is so epic, it's beyond words.


• Anna Poppelwell/Georgie Henley: Honestly, I don't know if anyone else writes these two Narnia girls, other than likecharity , but no one else should try. Behind Glass is the epitome of sexual tension and it should never be breached, that is, unless likecharity wants to write a sequel.


• Tina Fey/Amy Poehler: sinful_caesar has the market cornered with her masterful, sexy and hilarious works Happy Pappy and the "sequel", ImPalin. These stories take "canon" and twist it deliciously on its head. The best part is, this reality is perfect plausible. The devil is certainly in the details in these stories. Not only do I feel like I'm there for the naughty bits, but all the goodies in-between.

X-FILES

• I have to say, my exposure to Politic X probably ruined me for any other Scully/Reyes fiction, ever. Night Ride Across the Caucasus (an AU of 4-D), and the sequel Secret Bird, are so damn real that I'd be shocked if the author hadn't lived out every second of the stories. Which, considering the content, is a little impossible. There's a layer of myth included in the stories that usually isn't in fanfiction, usually reserved for the levels of REAL fiction. Believe me, it's appreciated. Her other S/R fic, Six Keys, is a joy to read, and god, is it sexy. On the other hand, Reverie is dark and creepy and wonderful.
• Some other Scully/Reyes fics that managed to sink in are Empty Corners by mandysbitch , where Reyes is mourning and Scully is the one to save her, for once. There's also what's left is magic by mazily , where doctrine meets chaos and love blooms.

X-MEN (MOVIEVERSE)

• I have a serious thing for Rogue/Kitty. It almost doesn't matter what universe. I look for it everywhere. First, two short pieces by maharetr : Push/Pull and Under Her Skin. I especially love the hair and skin imagry since senses are especially key in this pairing.
• I'll finish off this post with three recurring favorites. Smudge by salmon_pink is a sexy romp featuring chocolate and untouchable girls. Lips Like Morphine by brighteyedcat is an epic little AU where Rogue gets some balls, and not Bobby's. See What you Want by escritoireazul is all about the pain of wanting someone you can never have.
