Exit Interviews by Casira
[Discworld]
Any story centering around Miss Susan guarantees I'll at least try it. When it's a well-written story worked nicely into continuity (such as it is), and with a deft touch for Susan's not-uncomplicated character, I'm delighted. Death and Death of Rats both make an appearance in this neat, thoughtful little piece.

East of Eden by Shati
[Good Omens]
Cain and Abel have some strange babysitters. Lunatic, thought-provoking, grim and ineffable in the very best Gaiman/Pratchett style. Shati's site has disappeared; anyone know where it went?

Not a Cat Person by googlebrat
[Discworld]
Tiffany gave Granny Weatherwax a kitten, even though Esme isn't a cat person. No. Definitely not. Uh-uh.

The Uninvited Guest by akamarykate
[Discworld]
Death wasn't cut out to be a godparent. Nor was Mistress Weatherwax.

By No Miracle or Majestic Means by Riko
Ivan foils a terrorist plot. Well, sort of.

Five Ways Ekaterin Never Met Miles at Twenty by sahiya
Five perfectly plausible scenarios alternating between giddy and heartbreaking. KikiRec

Intimations of Maturity by Kassia
Simple but sweet--Ivan and Miles on a double-date, back in the days before the Dendarii. Ivan's voice is just right, giving us a nice view of his relationship with his cousin, and the depth of character that he'll eventually develop.

A Maze of Twisty Passages, All Alike by Merry
At last, someone gives Ivan the story he deserves! A marvelous adventure; Ivan rescues Gregor from a dungeon (sort of), but has no idea how to finish the job and actually escape. I adore Ivan and this story works wonderfully for him.

The Mirror Dance series by josan
A gorgeous, gorgeous series of short stories immediately following the action of Mirror Dance, set largely during the recovery of all injured parties at ImpMil. Josan's take on each character is heartwarming and heartbreaking -- Cordelia's voice in particular shines perfectly, but Aral and Mark's interaction is also a thing of beauty. I've linked to the applicable LiveJournal memories; start with "Night Visit" and read through "The Winterfair Ball".

Venture Capital by altariel1
Mark cuts a deal with an unexpected business partner. A great little post-A Civil Campaign story that shines a spotlight on Laisa as a human rather than an Empress.

The Accordian Makes All the Difference by Mousapelli
[Dresden Files]
Murphy gives Harry an unexpected present, but Harry suspects that Thomas is really behind it. Murphy/Harry, awesomely so.

Familiarity by Marien
[Dresden Files]
Awww! Mister teaches puppy Mouse how to hunt (with a little help). So adorable!

Good Timing by awanderingbard
[Dresden Files]
"Most dangerous job in the world? Alaskan crab fisherman have nothing on members of Harry Dresden's army." Great dialogue and a battle that equals almost anything in the books.

Rough Diamond by Lyrstzha
[Fairy Tales]
I don't think this actually counts as fanfic, but it's a lovely twist on Beauty and the Beast, and I'm a well-known sucker for those.

Festival Day by Lys
[Fall of Ile-Rien]
Tremaine's first festival in Cineth, and she's going to bake the bread. Ilias finds this much funnier than he should, really.

A Light in the Darkness by opalmatrix
[The Fall of Ile Rien]
Nicholas visits Cineth as rumors of sorcery spread near Ilias.

A Vote for Survival by Mara
[Liaden]
After the events of "I Dare," Miri's got something to say to Val Con. And boy, will he be surprised.

In Which Eeyore Observes the Passing of the Seasons by Pouncer
[Winnie the Pooh]
Winnie the Pooh fic. Yeah. I know. But I've always had a soft spot for Eeyore, and this is a quiet, sweet, poetic fic that takes you back to childhood, then releases you gently to reality.
