Sep. 28th, 2008 11:52 am...all gen, all with female main characters, from the excellent femgenficathon_
Farscape:
With bitter joy, the sound of wings: an Aeryn portrait through the years. Aeryn fanfic that doesn't focus on her romantic life is rare to find, which is a shame, considering the show (s4 excepted) offers us so much more. This captures Aeryn in all her multiple facets.
Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed: an X-Men/Superman crossover, in both cases the movieverses, with Lois Lane and Rogue as the main characters. There are so many aspects I love about this story: Lois as a passionate reporter, the likely aftermath of X2 and X3 regarding everyone's views of mutants and their legal status (all too plausible and scary, but not without hope), a plausible version of a somewhat older Rogue, great connections between universes (what makes a boy like Jason different from a mutant, really?) and oh, yes, a background threesome which is no big deal. Among the many good stories this ficathon produced, this is probably my favourite.
Chloe liked Olivia: an Iron Man (movieverse) story, in which Pepper Potts and reporter Christine Everhart take another look at each other, and rethink some assumptions each made during the film. Both Pepper and Christine come across as strong and interesting; I really enjoyed reading this (and the Tony cameo at the end is priceless).
We have no choice but to carry on: more movieverse Pepper Potts, this one about her during Tony's captivity, which she doesn't spend pining but being awesomely competent. Not that the films based on Marvelverse comics offer much competition, sad to say, but Pepper was really refreshing: despite some UST with the lead, she wasn't the love interest, she didn't get captured by the villain as the climax, needing to be rescued, but got out such a potential situation by herself and by sensibly using the legal authorities... and of course she spends her fanfic existence being the romantic lead. Not here!
