Coma Avon Nights by Willa Shakespeare
Fandom: Blakes7
Pairing: Avon/absolutely everybody
Site: Library #0239, http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/Library/Lists.htm
Why This Must Be Read: A very high percentage of B7 fan mindspace and libido are devoted to Avon--as in, what was his *damage* anyway? If you'd like to read some Avonsmut, but don't know whether you prefer slash or het, Blake, Tarrant, or Vila, vanilla or BDSM, the answer here is "Yes." Willa's premise is that, after the traumatic events of "Rumours of Death," everybody in the crew wants to help out Avon. The form the assistance takes is largely pharmacological, and so Avon ends up comatose (...which happens a lot in canon, and a lot more in fanfic anyway--what I refer to as the "Big Paperweight Avon" genre...).
Willa's novelette (I have the zine version, which is about 50 double-column pages) takes us on a tour of Avon's subconscious, as his psyche takes advantage of the Time Out to test out a variety of scenarios, just about all of which involve some sort of sex.
Willa is a highly prolific B7 writer and visual artist, with two main strands in her writing. A lot of her work is very funny, anarchic yet sturdily plotted, with some of the worst puns you'll find anywhere.
For Something Completely Differentthen there's sturdily plotted and highly emotional stories. Have a look at Love's Illusions (Library #0240), where Blake and Avon engage in a little virtual reality relaxation on shore leave...and don't have quite as much fun as they expected. Bonus points for a perfectly placed and planted plot twist--i.e., I felt like an idiot afterwards for being surprised, but it's just right.
