Five Things That Never Happened to Xhalax Sun (R)

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: Xhalax/Talyn with some Xhalax and Aeryn
Author on LJ: pellucid
Why this must be read:

Once, several cycles ago, she almost crashed her Prowler, caught in a planet's storm, gravity and atmosphere overcoming her skill. She lost control, tumbling helpless towards the planet, pulling up at just the last microt. She hates to fall.

This fic is a fascinating look at Aeryn's mother and where her choices have taken her - and where they haven't. I'm a big fan of the "five things" type of fics, and this one uses that device to great effect.
