Penance, with pleasure

itsallovernowSo, now that I actually look and sound coherent (I guess I can't actually look coherent, but I look less spacey, that's for damned sure), I'm gonna follow up on yesterday's post.
Taking to heart my guilt over not sending feedback to all of the fantastic authors whose stories I have adored and reread over the past couple of years, I'm gonna at least make an attempt to acknowledge them. I'll never be able to get everybody, so I'm gonna just do themes for a while. Since I started with Rain yesterday, I'll just focus on the pre-Infinite Possibilites Talyn arc fics today.
This arc didn't produce a lot of fic, strangely enough, but those pieces that were inspired by it were generally fantastic, and for me a couple really stood out.
First and foremost, although it's really outside of the mold of any other fic, regarding this arc or not is Cofax's Written on A Thumbnail. I could gush about this fic, about the risks the author takes, being one of the few people brave enough to deal with both Johns simultaneously, and doing it with such skill that you felt for everyone concerned. But, it's also well plotted, well thought out, plausible, painful, beautiful, sexy and conflicted.
The Whole Brain's East of Hezmana is a romp in script form. Psychotic -but not on purpose -Stark, tensions among our favorite love quadrangle, visions and nightmares and an inopportune bra. This is fun, well written, well paced and well characterized.
Orchidcactus' The Good Times is a well plotted, sexy, romantic action adventure set after Meltdown. The link here takes you to Farscape Ally, and the fic is labeled NC-17. There's a pg-13 version available as well.
There are other stories, and after IP airs, I'll list some more of my favorites, as tribute if nothing else, since their are far better rec lists and more thorough reccer's out there - waving to Cretkid!

kernezelda. Didn't she do a lovely job.
And I'm writing, at least sporadically. I took another look at the AU LATP fic, and it just said, hey, come on over, come visit, ignore the post WSS porn that you have languishing. That's already been done by other writers. So, for the moment at least, I'm trying to listen to that bunny.
I want to talk about Infinite Possibilities, but I think I'll wait until it finishes on Sunday.
