Fanfic recs (Crusade, BSG, Alias, Carnivale) and effort to resist temptation

[selenak]

Academic Pursuit is one result from the Babylon 5 Rare Pairings story and is actually a Crusade fic, starring Max Eilerson (that's him on my icon) and Dureena. Sparkling dialogue, both completely in character, and I love it to bits.

new Battlestar Galactica: The Day I Met You: the five ways that Ellen might've met Saul. Set pre-show, naturally, no spoilers, and such a great take on my favourite Edward Albee couple not written by Edward Albee, the Tighs. Keep your pilots of any nature, these two are my BSG love story of choice. (Well, followed by Baltar/Six in all her guises.)


Chosen is a lovely Alias/Carnivale crossover ficlet written for me by kangeiko, in which those two men of faith, Arvin Sloane and Justin Crowe, encounter each other.

Now, this was written as the result of the recent relationship meme. I had written my take for kangeiko earlier, about Connor (AtS) and Caleb (American Gothic) . Now, sinister seducer that she is, she wants me to expand on that and write Connor/Caleb. But a) I can't write AG fanfic - it would necessitate Southern accents, and I can't write accents in English, b) I can't write grown up Caleb in a serious fashion as long as I have the image of the kid in my brain (perhaps checking out images of Lucas Black today would help?), c) I'm not sure the world would be save with that combination (whaddaya mean I'm a messed up relationships addict?). So clearly all of this saves me from the temptation to ignore my real life obligations for the evil lure of fanfic right now. *am ignoring that I've been writing Connor/Harry Osborn for over a year now at theatrical_muse...*

Am so excited you are a Gaius/Six shipper! ::gleeful:: They're my favorite, too :)

OH YES IT IS. ::swoons::

That's my favorite pairings--messed up, inappropriate, or really wrong. Or all three. Hence my Magneto/Rogue love and Gaius/Six squeeing, and why i love Emma Frost to tiny, Emma-sized bits.

Clearly, one of us committed an error of omission a while ago in not asking for a why Six loves Gaius and Gaius loves Six, with the additional challenge of answering this for a) Caprica, b) Head!Six and c) Gina. *veg*

We should, clearly, rectify this. ::g::

Thanks for the rec!
