So I'm Gina and I'll be handling the 'Blakes 7' recs for this month. Expect lots of gen, some femslash and maybe some slash and het. Two of the more popular slash pairings do nothing for me, so I won't be reccing them (I leave that to others). And I'm not big on hurt/comfort either. So my recs might not be completely typical or to everyone's tastes but will hopefully show a few different aspects of the fandom.

Fandom: BLAKES 7
Pairing: None

Why this must be read: Travis is one of those 'bad guys who thinks he's a good guy', and with some justification. When he loses his faith in what he thought was the side of right things go wrong for everyone. When I first read this I called it 'one of those moments of clarity/extreme sanity'. It links the S2 episodes 'Gambit', 'The Keeper' ad 'Star One' very nicely and helps explain Travis' reasoning within that story arc.
