Taking the SVM characters into the realm of reality TV. Sookie is a professional dancer and Eric is an arrogant actor as they foxtrot their way through a season of 'Dancing with the stars' (or strictly come dancing for us Brits ;o)) I love the way that Eric is so antisocial and aloof in the other characters eyes but then we find out what he's really been doing after every show! The tension builds up nicely between the two main characters as the competition gets harder. -- Janofarc
"A crossroad with The Tudors.
If you want a different kind of vampire - dark but honest about his true nature Chase Brandon is the winner. Only tangential includes E/S.
This story has a special feeling to it, that I try but can't seem to put in words.
Is like I imagined the soul of centuries old vampire to be - dark, intelligent, cultured, sad, honest to himself and, more important there is hope.
It is one of my few favorites." -- KiraKiralina
Sookie makes a decision after the Rhodes bombing - to accept what and who she is and her part in the supernatural world. Rather than go back to Bon Temps, she stays to find out what has happened to her vampire friends. This is something that i'd love to see happen in the actual books, Sookie saying 'you know what? I'm never going to be human with a normal life and I should give up trying'. -- Janofarc
This fic follows the adventures of Sookie as an actor/writer/everything else on a kids TV show. As vampires come out of the coffin they decide to introduce a vampire character - enter Eric. SVM meets Sesame Street - nuff said. -- Janofarc
» Instincts by Evenflo78 (True Blood)
This new story by Evenflo78 is in the True Blood category on FFn and it's definitely a 'How it should have happened story'. This story starts in the middle of episode 3x10 (I Smell A Rat), right when Sookie visits Eric in their office and they kiss. There are so many things I like about the direction Evenflo78 seems to be taking in the story that it makes me excited to read when she updates it next. If you don't mind reading a work-in-progress, I suggest you jump on this story while it is still hot off the press. Favorite quote: 'Oh god, he tasted like heaven, and like hell. Like the most decadent dessert in the entire world. It was sinful, and his lips were quickly becoming my most favorite sin.' -- Sapfirerose
This is an AH Eric / Sookie fic where they meet online. It is in my favorite category - Romance / humor. It is sweet, fluffy, almost sickeningly sweet at some points. But I kind of like that when I am feeling more fragile myself. Anyway, if you read nothing else read Ch 22, it is a total crackup. -- Northwoman
This AH period piece set in World War II is one of my favorites, but it hasn't updated in awhile. I go back and read it every so often anyway. I love that Sookie is smart and capable in this story. Eric is Eric. Bill is a douche. I couldn't love it more. -- Northwoman
Beautifully written one-shot. It had me crying like a baby by the end of it! -- A_Redhead_Thing
This story is a Sookie/Sam story. It starts with Sookie and Sam being together for the first time and then takes a retrospective look at how Sam was with Sookie for a short time, how she took up with Eric, and how she will come back to Sam. Many stories focus on making Eric a bad guy in order for this to happen, as if he's eating babies in his spare time. In this wonderful fic, Zhivago3 takes the existing faults of book Eric and they become problems that lead to the demise of his relationship with Sookie. She has a fantastic grasp of the personalities from canon, but they're all dressed up as humans. Sam is a solid passive character, juxtaposed to Eric's flashy, glitzy (and above all) pushy nature. Zhivago3 writes with an absolutely adorable sensuality - from food to fashion (and I am the last person to care about fashion, except in the hands of Zhivago3) everything is so wonderfully framed. If you enjoyed Then As Now, even if you're a devoted Eric fangirl, you'll love Til Now. -- peppermintyrose
