Meek by Northlight (PG-13)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: gen
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:
Farscape's writers liked to take a traditional plot device or story element and twist it, warp it into something unexpected. The seemingly stereotypical 'monster of the week' character of M'Lee, from season one's Bone to be Wild, was slowly peeled back, layer by layer, from villain to victim to... something more complex and morally ambiguous.
Northlight cleverly captures the alien-ness of M'Lee, fleshing out a brief but memorable appearance by Francesca Buller (in her first Farscape guest role) and giving the character a canon-esque backstory.
