Fandom: generation kill Title: like the past never happened Pairing/Character Focus: timothy bryan; timothy bryan/ray person Author: stolemyslumber What makes this a gem: Everything ends. They keep going. like the past never happened focuses on the seeming quietness of the world that is portrayed in the majority of apocalypse media, and how the bonds built in bravo team during oif lasts even after the world has ended. this fic had me tense from beginning to end, never quite sure where it would go, and expecting something supernatural at every turn. there are scenes which are stark reminders that these aren't just ordinary people dealing with an apocalypse — these are trained recon marines and they already have experience with things and people trying to kill them; they won't go down easily. sistermine’s comment is spot on: stolemyslumber has “a knack for a sort of melancholy hopefulness.”1

Pairing/Character Focus: Jung Yoonoh | Jaehyun/Lee Seokmin | DK
Author: iverins
What makes this a gem: Seokhyun (or whatever you'd like to call it) is one of those rarepairs I contantly hunger for content for. This is by far the best fic I could have imagined for this tiny little crossover ship. The focus definitely stays on Seventeen, especially Seokmin's relationship with his friends as he struggles to come to terms with his years-long not so secret crush on Jaehyun. The story is funny, and nicely paced, and watching the two of them get to know each other better is wonderful. I'm not usually one for fluffy/funny fics, but this is a personal favorite of mine in that category.
