selenakLost:
Tales from the Tail Section: starting with s2, Lost came up with creative ways of adding and substracting to its ensemble in considerable ways despite the apparant drawback of an deserted island scenario (i.e. characters couldn't just leave or arrive at leisure). This was controversial: some of the newbies each season were embraced, others resented. S2 started by introducing us to the survivors from the tail section (nicknamed "tailies" by the fandom), and this collection of drabbles captures each of their personalities wonderfully well.
Sarah Connor Chronicles:
Carve me in marble, cast me in gold: Terissa Dyson, widow of Miles D. from Terminator II, was despite her few appearances on the show one of the most intriguing characters. This story shows you why.
Torchwood/Doctor Who:
Journey. The Jack/Alonso story I've been waiting for since that scene in End of Time. There is grief, but there is also connection (along with the sex), and best of all, there's a relationship that's neither OMG True Love or Sex Without Any Meaning Because My True Love Is Dead And Oh Was There Something About My Family Too?. Also, Alonso is a dear, but that's a given.
