Argonauts All by Angela Field (PG13)

Fandom: HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS
Pairing: n/a
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website:Circe's Realm, Hercules stories on the Heroes' Path section.
Why this must be read: Most of Angela's stories are in print fanzines, but she's starting to put a few new ones online. She writes action-adventure with a side helping of hurt/comfort, and she doesn't neglect the fantasy and sword-and sorcery elements that really make Hercules fanfiction for me. My favorite of her online stories so far is the first of her Argosy stories, an AU version of how Hercules and Iolaus meet Jason and start the voyage on the Argo. This version uses a few more elements of the original mythology and combines it with a murder mystery plot, as Herc and Iolaus try to discover who is killing the heroes who have come together in a competition to join the Argo's crew.

I just want to second this recommendation with all my heart.
Angela Field writes terrific stories - funny, in character, action-packed, rich in detail. Great stuff.
