Some recs that I've had stored in my bookmarks forever. And I do mean forever. Old Skool, baby! Old Skool!

I remember Jill Selby's Aspirations of Closure (http://s88210564.onlinehome.us/jill/Aspirati.txt) as being laugh out loud funny and you know what? It still is. Short little piece, but high-LAR-ious.

Karen Rasch was always one of my favorites in terms of writing wonderful canon characters, and her No Greater Love series (http://fluky.gossamer.org/author/10046-1.html) is something that's stuck in my head all these years later. (I wasn't able to find all 4 parts on one page, however. Sorry about that. All of my old links are mostly dead.) Great case file, great characterizations, fine writing. A story I have always loved, and I got to thinking about M & S's spiritual lives after reading the recent discussion about it over on [livejournal.com profile] xfiles and this story came to mind.

Madeleine Partous's The Pact series (http://fluky.gossamer.org/author/10879-1.html). (Again, I wasn't able to find a single page for these.) This does have MSR (and some hot NC-17 sex) but is also a very well-written case file. I love it when an author can pull this off. And Madeleine sure can. Also, Juan? One of my favorite author's own characters.
