Gilmore Girls
Stories to Pass the Time by poisontaster
I've totally broken up with Gilmore Girls, and I'm totally OTP about Luke/Lorelai, so it was with skepticism that I clicked on this link, because Lorelai/Dean? But aside from being exceptionally hot, this story *nails* some essential truths about Lorelai. I don't know that Dean is actually this perceptive, but damn, the story works.

Grey's Anatomy
line of defense by honey_wheeler
AU. Denny and Izzie spend their first night in their new house, but things don't go the way Izzie planned. Sigh. Wonderful.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Most Wonderful Time by amanuensis1
They formed a friendship afterward, which most of the inhabitants of Christmas Town thought odd in the extreme, while the denizens of Halloween Town didn't know what to think at all. Aw, a glimpse of the friendship between Santa and Jack Skellington.

Rome
Grasping by aphrodite_mine
"There's an overwhelming sense that I must be punished for what I've done, for deceiving you, for our part in what's happened..." Lovely and sad, and true to both of them as they appear on the show. (Octavia/Octavian)

Star Wars
Provided the Cuffs and Collars Match by David Hines
Han really wants to know what Leia looked like in that slavegirl bikini. A little hot and a lot of awesome.

Good Omens
Casual as Birds by apple_pi
Crowley returns to London from the front during WWII, searching for comfort. Powerful, understated, heartbreaking. Have tissues handy.

Switching Teams by rinnington
Due to an unfortunate bureaucratic mixup, Aziraphale and Crowley end up with each other's bodies. Adorable and sweet and funny.

Should Old Acquaintance be Forgot by xylodemon
Crowley, attempting to keep his New Year's Resolutions. Wonderfully in character. I especially like 2, 3, and 4.

Wednesdays by villainny
Who needs introspection when Aziraphale's provided jammy dodgers, that's always been his opinion. Adam's in college, so Crowley and Aziraphale pick up a new profession. Adorable - warm and wonderful.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
At the Cross Roads, Well Met by redrikki
Xander, in Africa, engages an very... interesting guide. Warm and funny, with hints of danger lurking underneath.

Break my fall by liminalliz
Chilling, heartbreaking Illyria/Wesley. Once upon a time, a fallen god-king and her knight went into battle, side by side, smiting their enemies because that was the right thing to do. And his laughter matched her own.

Changed by spuffyduds
Joyce, when Dawn arrives. Drabble that packs a mean wallop. Shivery good.

Falling Leaves by kangeiko
Illyria at the end of the world. Short, sharp, shivery.

Five Things Xander Harris Didn't Realize He'd Miss About Sunnydale by julia_here
Xander swore that the next time he had a good hammer, it was coming with him to the Apocalypse, no matter how silly it looked. Oh, Xander. Lovely.

The Post-Finals Tradition by mireille719
Oz is Connor's roommate at Stanford. It's cool, and possibly a little too normal, until it's not. Warm, wonderful story with a solid Connor voice and an excellent Oz characterization.

Crossovers

Grey's Anatomy/Sports Night
Dry, With a Twist by fox1013
Addison Montgomery meets Dan Rydell in a bar. Witty conversation overlays loneliness. I love how they can't quite connect. Lovely.

*

Good Omens/Harry Potter
Once More With Feeling by xylodemon
Absolutely AWESOME HP/GO crossover. Heaven and Hell suit up for round two of the apocalypse, and this time, Hell's got a wily plan. Aziraphale and Crowley team up with Harry Potter to thwart it. Dead on characterization, deft handling of the xover, heaps of fun.

*

Angel/Supernatural
Unhappy the Land That Has No Heroes by alizarin_nyc
Dean's out of his depth, Angel can't resist a new mission, and Faith's still trying to make a place for herself. Hotness ensues. I really like the desperation and melancholy threading through this.

*

Supernatural/Smallville
All Circles Warming Up by k.
"That wasn't a demon. That was something else. Do you really believe in demons?" "You don't? You were after a green glowing blob thing but somehow demons makes me the crazy one." Dean and Chloe meet, snark, and have hot sex. Mmm...tasty.

Supernatural/Scooby-Doo
Dewey Decimal and Other Mysteries of Note by minim_calibre
Butch lesbian!Dean/Velma from Scooby-Doo. No, seriously. And it *works*.
