FIVE EASY PIECES...by Nova
Fandom: Blakes7
Pairing: Blake/Avon
Site:URL: http://www.liberated.org.uk/1014five.htm
Why This Must be Read: This is one of the first slash stories I ever read. Maybe I’m imprinted on it, but it’s a wonderful place to start--a loving fillip at B7 slash clichés, from one of the brand names in B7 slash. Nova is the ultimate B/A shipper; she genuinely loves them both and writes a basically sunny-but-never-soppy romance. In “Five Easy Pieces” Blake and Avon proceed through a series of obligatory slash scenarios, bonking their way toward emotional engagement. Nova is one of the doyennes of HEX (Happy Ending Expeditors)--a B7 practice of rewriting another author’s story (with her permission!) to make it a bit less grim.
NOTE: I’m not including LJ addresses, because some of the authors don’t have them, and others have respectable employment that might not be slash-friendly. The URLs are for sites where you can find the stories rec’ced herein, most of which are archives rather than authors’ sites.Later on, I’ll be recommending some stories that use B7 canon daringly, or that offer new perspectives, which can be pretty dodgy if you have only the vaguest idea of the canonical version of events. I thought that a good way to dip a toe into B7 fanfic would be to start with some quality smut.
The Liberated archive is back up, which gives me a chance to recommend it to all and sundry. The Index page is http://www.liberated.org.uk/index2.html.
