Fandom: The Magnificent Seven
Pairings: Chris/Buck, Chris/Vin
Length: ~54K

Why This Must Be Read:

The author describes this fic as 'the 54 thousand word monstrosity that ate my brain'. In fairness that's not a bad description. Clear the decks of anything you need done urgently before you click the link, because once you start reading you won't be able to stop.

'Fission: Conversion' brings our boys to a sci-fi setting, where humanity is at war with the mysterious Albouais. The story picks up with Chris and Vin defending an overrun experimental nuclear facility. In a last ditch attempt to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, they overload the reactor, causing it to blow. They expect to die. Instead they wake up...different.

All the character's voices ring true, and their frustration and pain in the face of circumstances beyond their control is almost painful to read. If this fic doesn't move you I sincerely doubt that you're human. The prose is beautiful, every character feels real, and the science is a little dubious but believable - like in all good sci-fi. Read it. I swear you will not be disappointed.

03:53 pm New Life by abelard (PG)
Hey, I'm [livejournal.com profile] 50thousandtearz and I'll be driving the Firefly van this month. There will be mostly canon, het and some gen, sorry to all you slashers.

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Mal/Zoe (Mal/Inara, Zoe/Wash)
Length: short

Why this must be read: I always thought the show did a great job of balancing Zoe's femininity and bad-assness and this fic continues in that tradition. The fic has nice characterization of Zoe, does a great job making Mal and Zoe's relationship plausible, and god I love the final scene, it's so in character.

Why this must be read: Saffron: A History. Great exploration of Saffron's life, constant manipulations and lies.

Malcolm Reynolds has no idea. Not about her, not about killing, not about anything. He doesn't even know her name, though there's not many who know it, including herself. In fact, she expects it's just her mother, the midwife, and the computer it was recorded on.

All three are long since obliterated, their names as forgotten as hers.
