PK Tech Girl: He Said/She Said by Perri and Kiki (PG)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: John Crichton/Aeryn Sun
Authors on LJ:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Authors' Websites: Seanachais and The Chaos Horizon
Why this must be read:
John Crichton and Aeryn Sun are vastly different characters in the first season of Farscape. John is wide-eyed and naive, stranger in a strange land, looking for a way back home. Aeryn, similarly lost, clings to the security of her Peacekeeper training. But somewhere along the way, they start to forge a bond that will endure pain and suffering, love and loss, joy and torment, for better or worse.
An episode filler set during season one's PK Tech Girl, this double-rec is two stories in one, retelling the pivotal events from John's and Aeryn's sometimes vastly different POVs. The authors have nailed the voices here, which keeps the reader's interest even when one already knows the events about to unfold.
From PK Tech Girl: He Said
Damn it to hell.
One second, I'm kissing a pretty, warm, sweet, smart lady who's the nicest thing to happen to me since I got out here. Next second, I'm about to get killed by one of my shipmates. I knew kissing Gilina was a bad idea; I knew it at the time and I still did it. We're supposed to be working, we barely know each other, and we're right in the middle of hostile territory.
Which, judging from Aeryn's little explosion, just got more hostile. Great.
From PK Tech Girl: She Said
I grab the chain, loosen the slack, and jump. Three seconds of free-fall, and then my heels hit the deck and I fire before the Sheyang can react. The second shot connects, and the Sheyang has time for one very surprised look at me before he makes a lovely, huge explosion, all that gas going up like a supernova, bits of him raining down around us as the echoes fade. The enemy's body falls over with a squashy thud.
That was *really* satisfying.
"Sorry about the mess." I brush one of the chains out of my face, unable to suppress a smile, then I carefully pick my way through the debris as I head back toward to the maintenance bay. No smartass comebacks are forthcoming from Crichton or the tech. I don't even bother to look at them as I walk to the exit. They know I just saved their lives.
Nothing more really needs to be said, does it?
