Fantasy/sci-fi short story: "Schroedinger's Cat" or "The Author of the Acacia Seeds" by UK LeGuin (In fact, the entire collection of short stories _The Compass Rose_ is pretty much awesome) or "Hope Chest" by Garth Nix. Also, I second "Repent, Harlequin".
If you are looking for a collection, _Firebirds_ (edited by Sharyn November)is excellent, and contains both urban and traditional fantasy, plus containing a short story in the form of a graphic novel.
Are you doing sci-fi as well? (I read both, but sci-fi is my true love, so if so, reply and I will give sci-fi specific selections.)
