Fics: Just One Question, Picture This, and Learning to Read

Title: Just One Question
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Colby Granger, Gary Walker (implied Colby/OFC-Callie Walker)
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Length: 2096
Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic is written in a universe where Colby and Callie have been high school sweethearts; a universe where I have so much fun. This particular piece is a conversation between Gary Walker (Callie's dad) and Colby. I'm most proud of it because this was one of the first times I could actually hear the characters voices as I wrote and I think that comes across in the fic. I also enjoyed writing the pre-series look back at Colby's high school and solider days. :)

Just One Question

Title: Picture This
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Ian Edgerton/Nikki Betancourt
Rating: R (adult situations)
Length: 300 x 4
Why I'm reccing this fic: This was a drabble series I wrote after seeing some truly gorgeous pictures of Sophina Brown. Ian/Nikki is my favorite canon pairing and so writing a little fic to keep the long distance relationship interesting was a real treat.

Picture This

Title: Learning to Read
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Charlie Eppes, Patrick Jane (The Mentalist, Numb3rs Crossover)
Rating: PG
Length:
Why I'm reccing this fic: Charlie doesn't believe in psychics. It's a good thing Patrick Jane isn't one. This piece was my very first (and only) crossover fic. This was also the first time I'd written Patrick Jane and only the second time I'd written Charlie Eppes. You can imagine how terrifying and exhilarating that experience was. As such, this is a fic I'm really glad to have written.

Why I'm reccing this art: This is something that I'm really proud of. [livejournal.com profile] sororcula really wanted a piece of artwork for the summer [livejournal.com profile] numb3rs_het challenge and I tried to oblige with this. It's my first manip and I think it turned out pretty good!

Greetings From Washington DC

Title: Special of the Day
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mercilynn
Pairing/Characters: Billy/Don, Sam and Dean Winchester
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1809 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I think this was my most fun piece to write last year when it comes to slash fic. It was part of last year's [livejournal.com profile] numb3rs_newyear challenge for [livejournal.com profile] sororcula and I was able to combine all the things I knew she'd love into one fic from cliches to the Winchesters plus a baby and pie!

Special of the Day

Title: The Slow and Steady Rush
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mercilynn
Pairing/Characters: Don/Megan
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1159 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Hee! My first NC-17 Het piece! It was written for [livejournal.com profile] numb3rswriteoff and it's one of my favorite things that I've written, from the way it flows to the fact that I stepped outside of my comfort zone to write it.

The Slow and Steady Rush

FIC: Learning to Read (Charlie Eppes, Patrick Jane, PG)

Title: Learning to Read
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi
Pairing/Characters: Charlie Eppes (Numb3rs), Patrick Jane (The Mentalist)
Rating: PG (disdain, to be safe)
Length: 854
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love Numb3rs and I love The Mentalist. Imagining an interaction between Charlie and Patrick was just something that I couldn't pass up. I think that [livejournal.com profile] mustangcandi captured both characters and brought them to life in a conversation that I think you'll agree would most certainly take place if these two encountered one another. Do yourself a favor and have a read. : ) Enjoy!!

Pairing/Characters: Charlie/Willow
Rating: PG13
Length: 11,500
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I thought the author came up with a great way to blend the Numb3rs and BtVS ‘verses. And can’t you just imagine it when Charlie and Willow get talking? *g*
A brief excerpt )

Magic in Numbers


Title: Go-Cart Charlie
Author: Red Soprano
Pairing/Characters: Charlie-centric
Rating: PG13
Length: 25,000
Why I'm rec’ing this fic: I read this fic when it was nominated for the first round of Numb3rs Awards, without really knowing anything about Medium, except of course, that she talks to dead people, and I enjoyed the story very much. I didn’t feel like I missed out, not having watched Medium, and the relationship between the Eppes boys rang very true to me.
