It's time for a new theme! We're looking for lost episode fics -- original, well-plotted stories that the reader can imagine as a lost episode that never aired. (Perhaps it did in an alternate reality...) Whether it's set in early seasons or later seasons or even between seasons, we want to see those "lost episodes" recced here!

Feel free to refresh your memory of the comm rules at the FAQ before posting. Official format is included in the FAQ entry and on the comm's profile page. If you choose to tag your own entry (you don't have to do so), please include the theme: lost episode tag as well as any others that you find appropriate. And if you need a tag that isn't yet available, please comment and let me know.
