Well, it’s been a trip, driving the van this past month, and I hope that I haven’t made too many faux pas. I’ve had fun and I certainly hope to do it again sometime.

Now, on to the important stuff…

Fandom: Farscape
Pairing: not so much, as this fic is Noranti’s, but in a pinch, I’d say John/Aeryn
Author on LJ: gigerisgod
Author website: none known

Why this must be read:
One of the things I like best about the Farscape fandom is the willingness and the sheer ability of the writers involved to write intriguing, thought-provoking fic about the secondary characters, not just about John and Aeryn. This fic is a wonderful character introspection focusing on Noranti, and shows us John (and everyone else, to a lesser extent) through her eyes.

Noranti is definitely a character about whom I would have loved to learn more within canon – her motivations and history, what makes her tick. Since we didn’t get much from canon, the author here has provided a good deal of insight into Grandma, and as far as I can tell it fits seamlessly with canon for the show. It gives me some of what I wanted and helps to understand her, especially in regard to John Crichton:

Noranti relished the rare opportunities she had to offer her skills to Crichton as listener, advisor, and friend. There was something special about friendship with a man; something she found she’s missed over the cycles. Sadly, the men in her life that kindled her passions and won her heart are a thing of the past and there’s a distinct ache she feels in her bones when she thinks on it too long. Her Crichton is undoubtedly young and handsome, and it tickles her desire just to be near him, but she doesn’t entertain any illusions about the man. He’s fond of her for her uncomplicated presence in his life, but his love is reserved for one woman.

Spoilers for Terra Firma and Twice Shy...

Go. Read. And, as always, if you’re so moved, leave the author a little feedback. :)
