Why This Must Be Read: I almost tagged this as "original character" just because of the fish. :) (There are original characters here, too.)

This delightful, insightful story takes a few seconds from Fire and Water and uses that brief snapshot of Daniel's aquarium to create an entire series arc that begins with the acquisition of a fish called Mac at the beginning of S1 and ends after Ark of Truth with, well...

There's friendship and wry humor and thoughtful observation and heart-wrenching grief, and it's both outsider POV and Daniel POV all in one. A very satisfying and intriguing read!

Reccers, you all have access and can start posting at any time. Remember that you have committed yourself to reccing at least two fics over the course of the month, although of course we will be happy with more. Feel free to use the copy-and-paste template from the reccer's FAQ for your convenience.

If you wanted to volunteer for this month and didn't have a chance to sign up, drop a comment here and I'll happily add you to the list.

This entry will be open through the 30th. The July reccers post will hopefully go up some time on Tuesday.

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want. Choose a category from the list below or select a more rare category that has been used in the past. If you want to rec a category that is not on the list below or in Memories, that's fine, too: you may volunteer for a category that isn't listed.

By signing up, you are committing yourself to reccing at least two (preferably four) stories in that category during the month of July. June reccers who wish to sign up again should rec their minimum two for this month before doing so. You don't have to check the Memories before choosing which stories to rec. If you have a good fic to rec, go for it! Do remember, though, that story links must be freely accessible, without requiring any sort of login to view. The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here. Reccers may add self-recs once they have done their minimum two for their category of the month, and see more details at the FAQ entry.
