Anything by [[http://flakedice.livejournal.com/14302.html#cutid1 flakedice]]
* Recommended by: Zashiki-Warashi, Esmenet, Saltyavocado
* Comments: The author has somehow become one of my new favorites. The AU's are all interconnected with each other and the longest one (''Lord and Prince'') has managed to become a huge sprawling project that is largely successful because the author knows how to create a real, believable world and even [[OriginalCharacter OCs]] that are engaging. The less numerous canon stories are also enjoyable to read. Most of the stories are yaoi, so be warned.

* Most of her stories aren't particularly long, but what she writes is well-worth reading. Most can be described as slice of life stories, and one of them, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4423737/1/ The Woollen Monstrosity]]'', won an UFO award.
