Wow, I obviously spend far too much time reading fics. Or maybe I'm just limited to this one fandom at the moment, cos I read anything those peeps come out with pretty much instantly. I would recommend Emma's Cook/Naomi friendship one as a first port of call but that may not be your thing so much. As for Kate her RPF's are something else - she's made me variously wish desperately that Lily becomes a radio presenter, a lounge-jazz pianist or just continues as an actor.
I may be giving a biased picture re: Cook, as you've caught me at a strange time. If you'd asked at any point before episode 3 then you'd have heard non-stop about Naomi - SHE is MY favourite character in anything ever. I dunno what it is, but I think it may be kinship; she is me if I was less amiable. So I've analysed everything involving her to death, almost to the complete exclusion of all others - Freddie got praise for the most complete, consistant episode of this Gen, Cook could be hilarious but also irritating, I never quite saw the depth to Katie loads of others did and everyone else was just background (even Emily, since she came up in direct comparison to Naomi so often). It's just that what has now happened is Cook has become the best over the two series, as Naomi has almost systematically been reduced to someone unrecognisable, whereas Cook has gone from strength to strength. Put it this way - every time Cook appears I now the scene will be worth my full attention but when Naomi is in the picture I just shut off, fearful that they'll spoil her even further. So I'm still all for our lesbians at heart, but Cook has just been hard to ignore recently.
The only Skins piece I've done is a drabble thing at my journal, the other is an OC/character study piece I'll send you later. The Skins one is 'ere:
