Why this must be read: One of Farscape's recurring themes is turning villains into allies, or at least into sympathetic characters with understandable motivation. A few authors in the fandom tackle this prickly transformation in Scorpius which we see in Seasons Three and Four. "Travelling Light" is a remarkable character study of Scorpius and what draws him to Sikozu in Season Four, when he's still cooling his heels in a cell on Moya. The glimpse of the crew we get through Scorpius' eyes alone is worth the price of admission, but this story also provides keen insight into Scorpius, Sikozu, and their growing alliance in Season Four.

Also, the language is wonderful - spot-on for Scorpius, and a treat to read aloud.
