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.
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.
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.
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.
