Rating/Warning(s): PG, non-canon death
Genre: Romance/Humor
WIP?: one-shot
Why This Must Be Read: This was a little Jossed after season four, I think, but it's still one of the most brilliant one-shots to ever come out of the fandom. Sorde has a way of cutting down to the truth of things and using so few words to do it that you just have to sit back and marvel. This story is from the point of view of Sarah's goldfish and it's just masterfully written and told. I regularly return to this story when I need a pick-me-up. It's sweet, fluffy, and it always makes me smile.

Fic Title: Chuck vs Eleven Roses
Author: Course Jester

Rating/Warning(s): PG, Devon gets a bit TMI in a hilarious fashion
Genre: Angst/Humor
WIP?: Complete
Why This Must Be Read: Another classic, in my opinion. Jossed by the fourth season, again, but Chuck and Sarah have difficulty adjusting after Bryce's death. Chuck goes to Devon for advice after a fight with Sarah, and Devon is all to happy to give that advice, complete with mojitos and the words "man-fume." Just a great little character flick that introduced me to the term "Trouble flowers." And if you like this one, don't miss his Sarah vs the Squire of Buymoria.

Rating/Warning(s): PG, use of tabasco sauce, I guess? (aka no warnings I can think of)
Genre: Romance/Humor
WIP?: Complete
Why This Must Be Read: If you like outside observer fic, this is a great story. Lou tracks Sarah and Chuck's relationship...through sandwiches. Don't read if you're already hungry.

Fic Title: Chuck vs. Fulcrum
Author: ne71
Link: here
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13, triggers for torture, hostage situations, violence, sexual situations, etc. etc.
Genre: Adventure/Romance
WIP?: Complete
Why This Must Be Read: For those of you that want a classic adventure story, this wonderful story from the annals is a favorite. Sarah gets taken by Tommy the Fulcrum agent, who is looking for Bryce...and Chuck and Casey are all too willing to hand the CIA agent over. It has romance, humor, action adventure, suspense, and some fantastic Star Wars humor that never, in my opinion, goes amiss. Chuck and Sarah are both smart, competent, and intelligent, Casey is hilariously gruff, and Bryce is a nerd. Also, just wait until you see Casey's car. It might make you cry from laughter.
