A Supermarket In California (A Fortress In Colorado/A Farm In Iowa)are those world building AU's. It inspired a lot of people to write Alternate Universe fic that didn't revolve around crack. They are slow and beautiful and just make you go 'wow' because you feel like you could be there. There wasn't a whole lot of that kind of fiction before that, at least not that I read.
Scenes From A Lesser War, while still an AU, is set in the Stargate Universe. It builds a world thats different, but it still keeps the same characters in their positions. This story came before the ones like 'Supermarket...' and I think it was the very start of those sweeping stories that take you on a journey and refuse to let you go. Also I think this might have one of the stories that sparked the whole 'DADT has been repealed' trend.
Basura is on my list purely because it was a shock to me and a lot of other people. It takes the things and people, you know and love, and twists them into something dark, different, and yet you still identify with these character, despite what they are doing. There were alot of reactions on both ends of the spectrum from "I love it. :) *g*" to "That's some crazy stuff...I hate it." Another reason I incuded it was because it took an episode and completely rebuilt it, while keeping it recogizable.
Hey, I hope that helps. If you need anything else, just let me know. I'd be glad to be of assistance. :)
