Sorry, I don't really want to become a weekly reccer, but I'd just like to share a few reads if you don't mind.


Title: Smooth as a River Stone
Fandom: Highlander / SG1
Pairing: none
Categories/Genres: science fiction, OC point of view
Length: 7000
Warnings: none

Author/Artist Website: MarbleGlove (http://archiveofourown.org/users/MarbleGlove/pseuds/MarbleGlove)

Summary: Following the events of A Square Peg in a Round HoleReview:
Nothing transcendent, but I still remember this story a few years after reading it, thousand of fanwork reading in between. This brings a closure to the first story of the series and can be read as an epilogue to it. The author keeps Methos's actions very much in character.

Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Chris Argent/Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Categories/Genres: action

Summary: Peter looked at Stiles from the corner of his blue eyes and smirked. Stiles swore he saw a flash of red Peter’s eyes, but it might of have been his brain’s lack of oxygen making him hallucinate. “I’m looking for my soul mate. Christopher Argent. I believe he volunteered to be taken in for questioning.”

An iron fist clenched Stiles' heart. This man was Argent’s—Christopher’s soul mate?

Stiles stared at the Peter’s wrist, examining every detail of Peter's soul mark. Stiles couldn’t find anything different between his and the blond’s.

Stiles lifted his hand and ghosted his fingers along Peter’s forearm.

It was lightning all over again, and Stiles yanked his hand back, only to have it caught in an unbreakable grip.

Frosty blue eyes burrowed into Stiles', and he couldn’t stop himself from gulping. The smirk on Peter’s lips grew as the corner of his mouth quirked higher, and he drew Stiles’ hand close to his face.

Peter’s nostrils flared slightly as he stared at Stiles’ soul mark. He pulled Stiles forward, pressing soft lips to Stiles wrist.

“Now what would your name be?” Peter purred

Review:
The author manages to insert a polyamorous relationship in the plot without sacrificing the fast-pace action which is canon. Though the idea of finding your soulmate(s) by some sign on your skin is not new, the pairing is original enough to keep things interesting.

Summary: SHIELD has Loki in custody, with the gag on to keep him from spellcasting, but they don't really know what to DO with him. They can't give him food or water or attempt to interrogate him with the gag on, and they don't dare take it off. Their solution? Call in a telepath! But Charles Xavier may find more things in Loki's head than SHIELD bargained for...

Review:
I didn't know about Thor nor the Avengers fandoms before reading this fic (and I still don't). One of the best fics centering on Charles Xavier.
The author's writing is very subtle and they take great care to let the characters develop as they would in canon.
Charles Xavier's great compassion doesn't make him lose sight of humanity's failures.
Loki's redemption doesn't change who he fundamentaly is.
The first story in the series is finished, as are 2 sequels. 3rd one is in progress.
First story revolves mostly around Charles Xavier and Loki's mind games. Follow ups have more action.
