Londo/G'Kar, now with sound!

Once upon a time, more than four years ago, when my decade of B5 fannishness finally led to writing fanfic, I finally took the plunge and wrote the very first Londo/G'Kar story on the net. (At least I hadn't been able to find an earlier one, and believe me, I was looking. Thankfully, this one started a trend...) Now, iamsab has made a podcast of it:

In Vino Veritas

In which, taking off from the last scene in the s4 episode Rising Star, Londo and G'Kar get (more) drunk together, bicker, and one thing leads to another. I'm still somewhat proud of the dialogue, and iamsab does a great Centauri accent for Londo. Go, download, listen!

*glows in grateful nostalgia*

Recs: Angst and Fun

Because like most fans, I enjoy both. Which is why everything produced by Joss Whedon as well as Doctor Who and its spin-offs drew me in. So, today's fanfic recs:


Torchwood:

But he'll get me: to me, the relationship between Owen and Jack is frankly the most interesting on the show, but it doesn't get much fanfic attention. When it does, though, the fanfiction tends to be good. This one is superb: an AU take on End of Days, the season 1 finale, in which after events happened just a tad differently Owen remains fired and Jack does go after him with the retcon. The dialogue is sharp and true, as are the characterisations: Jack in his moral ambiguity and Owen in his angry, messed-up brokenness. A superb story, as is usual with this particular author.

Friends of the Bride: this, on the other hand, is a joyful comedy (and a DW crossover), set during Martha's wedding at some point in the future, which both the Torchwood team plus the Doctor and Donna attend. Featuring competing stories about wedding disasters (Donna wins over Gwen in that one), Drunken!Doctor and Jack and Ianto traumatizing the plants some more. Enjoy!

Doctor Who:

Pyrrhic Victory: something I haven't seen before, short, dark and wonderfully twisted, as it should be: the Master's pov during that scene in Last of the Time Lords.

Wardrobe Malfunction 37: whereas this is another fun look at Donna and the Doctor in season 4. Donna is forced to don one of Leela's outfits. She's not happy...
