Here's a selection of stories that don't suck.

...just kidding. These are stories I Like, but I can't tell you what makes me Like a story since I haven't a clue myself. Generally it seems to be something along the lines of

  1. Vivid descriptions
  2. Focuses on aftermath of TF
  3. Foreshadowing
  4. Animals
  5. Hope

And the things that do poorly for me in a story include

  1. Plot holes
  2. Obvious Good and Evil
  3. The Grin
  4. Power imbalance

Anyway, here's the list.
