Okay, before I dive back into the wonderful present of new stories which is the Multiverse 2005, a first few recommendations for you, gentle reader.

Battlestar Galactica/Star Trek: TNG: "I Shall Be Made Thy Music". This was the story written for yours truly, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Gaius Baltar and Six meet God, or the next best thing, which in the ST universe is Q. Q has an offer. And Baltar is his self-centered, oh so human self.


Dr. Who/ ST: Deep Space Nine: "An Element of Blank". The Ninth Doctor on my other favourite space station, trading past lives, crimes and losses with Jadzia Dax. Love it to bits.

Dr. Who/ Farscape: "Travel Light", on the other hand, is my (still) favourite Doctor and Companion team, the Seventh Doctor and Ace, in a huge sprawling epic that takes place in the Unchartered Territories, post- Peacekeeper Wars. Where they encounter Pilot, Stark, and a revolution. One of two stories where I think I can guess the author. Of course, author-guessing is part of the fun in these ficathons.

Firefly/Babylon 5: Another big story, and a fantastic River pov. Wonderful, poetic language. An intriguing rendition of Jayne. And Talia Winters, the B5 character who ends up in the FF'verse, makes me wonder why I hadn't thought of the fact FF could be set hundreds of years post-B5 without a problem. Go and read "Take Care Of Yourself For Me".

Blake's 7/ Farscape: Farscape gives us as many canon AUs as we want in form of the Unrealized Realities, and they're put to ingenious use here exploring one Roj Blake, in "Tunnel Visions". Blake (sans Avon) does not get so much fanfiction attention, so I'd be delighted about a Blake-centric story in any case; this one is a treat.

Battlestar Galactica/Firefly: "Resting Place". Set in early season 2 of BSG, during the week when Laura Roslin and Lee Adama are on the run together. It so happens that Serenity has ended up in the fleet, and you bet Captain Reynolds isn't fond of martial law. On the other hand, he's not too keen on new passengers, either. This is the only BSG story (that I've read so far) to feature my favourite character, Laura Roslin, but I'd have loved it anyway, for it's great rendition of the entire Serenity crew plus Lee Adama and Roslin.


Now I must check out whether my own two babies have received feedback. And get back to reading. Excuse me.

Thanks for the recs -- I can't properly comprehend more than a couple of these fics, but I did read Take Care, and loved it very much. What a River voice, and what a mesmerising, slow tumble into her/Serenity's world.

I already read "Take Care of Yourself for Me"; I think it maybe makes more sense if you know Firefly, but River was verrrry cool.

I think I already spotted one of yours, too ;)
