Witness by Jane Baron (NC-17)
Fandom: BLAKE'S 7
Pairing: Avon/Blake, past Avon/Vila
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: don't know.
Why this must be read:
Again delving into the deep dark waters of Oblique here. Jane Baron is a masterful writer, as you can see from the previously recced "Fugue" saga. This piece is all about Vila angst, *sniffle*. A thief soon learns the best hiding places in even the most advanced spaceship, but what he discovers while doing so can break his heart. Avon and Blake's relationship is twisting the knife in his heart--and Jane Baron knows how to bring that across in the most sob-worthy way possible. While we have massive angst here, we also get one of the IMHO hottest, best sex Blake/Avon sex scenes out there. It's very subtly done, seen through Vila's eyes--the sensuality and the eroticism are breathtaking. And that, of course, brings out Vila's memories of Avon in a holding cell, something entirely different to what's going on with Blake and Avon.
Melancholy but sweet, enjoyable for the angst, the gorgeous writing (I melted at some of the metaphors and descriptions here, brilliance) carrying you through it easily all the way to the bitter end.
