WIP that is brilliant and thus worth breaking the "No WIPs" rule:

Short and sweet and real:

Weird yet oddly fascinating and different VampAU:
End of a Bloodline by Jay's World

Charming and original fantasy:
Love in Idleness by plummy
"...for aught that I could ever read/Could ever hear by tale or history/The course of true love never did run smooth." A little Edward. A little Bella. A few fairies, and a robot. Into the woods we go. Twilight meets A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Funny:

ConTEXTually Speaking by cosmogirl7481
quick, fun, sexy
Bella spends her days surrounded by books and her nights immersed in them. Reading but not living. Imagining but not experiencing. One night changes everything. A story about wrong numbers and a stranger with all the right words.
Across the Universes by FantasyMother
very interesting premise

Truth and Justice by JC Roberts
This story paints the picture of a Justice League of the near future which includes Batman and Superwoman (daughter of Superman) and a whole cast of really well developed characters. The story is so well-paced and the action scenes are magnificent.

Court Martial by Charlene Edwards
"Blockbuster was murdered ... and Nightwing was "involved"" This story is about what happens when Nightwing is put on trial by the Justice League. I could not put this fic down. Part courtroom drama, part Batfamily drama. All riveting.
