One Split Second by Analise
Fandom: Farscape
Author: Analise
Author's website: Myscape
Author on LJ: N/A
Why this must be read: Analise has been recced already on Crack_Van for her fabulous post-colonization story The Weight of the World. But she also has a number of shorter, less ambitious stories. Shorter they may be, but the plots are as creative, the characterization as sure, and the prose as smooth.
One Split Second takes a done-to-death cliche of a bad encounter on a commerce planet and turns it into a thoughtful look at, well, not wasting the little time we have. It's a marvelous story that slots perfectly into canon and provides a confident Crichton voice.
He blinked sleepily and shifted his line of sight past Aeryn. One of the Wallys was there. Unmoving, its white little arms still stained red with his blood. It seemed to be twitching. As if it were nervous about something. Don't worry Wally, I won't steal all your fish.
