Beautifully written, and almost painful to read.
A lovely blending of many mythologies into the story of the swan princes.

Summary
Blake knew he had a reputation, but even he did not know how far it extended until the day he was snatched by alien technology from the cell in which he was awaiting Federation injustice.
The crew of the Liberator were trapped by Servalan on the savage planet of Terminal, but unexpected rescue catapulted them into an even more desperate situation, with no way of telling friend from foe in an alien galaxy.
Note: Owing to missing/corrupted sections in the text version I am using, not to mention other fandoms and moving home, this has been subject to a long delay, but is now complete.0

One of the few really good Blake's 7 novels that I have come across. Completely original story with great writing. But avoid it if you're a big Tarrant fan.

Lovely Narnia/Vorkosigan crossover that hits exactly the right notes. All original characters (apart from Tumnus) and they're well written.

It is, of course, Rory, who takes the time to tell Mel's foster mother that her daughter is dead. A gentle, thoughtful story.

Absolutely delightful story, amusing and touching. John is bi, Sherlock is (probably) het or asexual.

Frequently Suggested Sexual Practices: An Aid to Communication by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

Summary
Despite the title/rating/etc., this is a story about all the sex Aral and Cordelia didn't have before they got married.
Bookmarked by Watervole
22 Jul 2012
Bookmarker's Notes
I enjoyed this a lot. Good characterisation and a good idea for Aral to fantasise about her using a dildo on him.
My only comment would be on the line "And he did not have the fast-penta allergy". We're pre-Miles here and the line feels wrong as I'm not aware of anyone else having the allergy. Or did ImpSec have a way of inducing one?
