Plenty of Cock and a Fair Bit of Bull by Predatrix
Fandom: Blakes7
Pairing: Blake/Avon
Site: http://www.liberated.org.uk/1022cab.htm
Why It Must Be Read: Also one of my first slash reads. The story starts post-modernly enough with Vila’s musings about the impracticality of barbarian trousers in low-quality rapefics. From there, the story perfectly encapsulates the dynamic of insane competition between Blake and Avon, with much attention devoted to a Flight Deck j/o contest. Predatrix accurately describes her work as “sex comedy,” and while I’m not sure if one can identify any B7 writer as the flat-out filthiest, Predatrix is certainly in the race. Most of her B7 work is in paperzines, rather than online; her zine work include some powerful and psychologically, errrm, penetrating stories.
Every fandom has to have stories with aphrodisiacs, yeah? Pred’s not-entirely-solemn take on this trope is “Automatic Reactions” (Vila steals Jenna’s expensive aphrodisiac, but the doctored cognac ends up inside Avon, as for that matter does Blake: http://www.liberated.org.uk/1021auto.htm. ) The title comes from a crucial slash moment in canon: Avon throws himself in front of a bomb menacing Blake. Blake asks why; Avon says “Automatic reaction. I’m as surprised as you are.” Blake says, “I’m NOT surprised.” Make of that what you will.
(On the subject of B/A Flight Deck hanky-panky, see also Calico’s “Souls of Discretion,” http://www.liberated.org.uk/1059souls.htm which has some nice crew dynamics as well as a deliciously toppy Blake.)
